Mr. George Kaboth, whose name
had been mentioned as a candidate
for the office of school director, states
that he was not a candidate, that he
did not seek the office and did not
ask anyone to vote- for him. Appar
ently, Mr. Kaboth's name was used in

faith by The Astorian and many oth

as a candidate and did not question
the authenticity of the report.

COUNTY COURT IN
SESSION
THE THREE COMMISSIONERS
PRESENT AT AN INTEREST
INQ AND IMPORTANT MEET-
ING YESTERDAY.
The session of the County Com
missioners arc enlivened by several
interesting and important matters
yesterday morning, The three coin
missioners, Judge Trenchard, Wil
liain Larson and John F. Frye, were
present,
Mr. Hobsort of the J. II. Hobson
Company presented a written com
plaint to the commissioners in rela
tion to a contract the company has
for supplying kerosene to the Wal
luski bridge. According to its con
tract with the county, the company
reserved the right to receive back the
oil cans when emptied. But a hitch
arose. I he Driugc tender at me
Walluski bridge apparently want
ed the empty cans as badly as did the
company, and he refused to give
them up.
In his communication Mr. Hobson
states that "McLean, the bridge ten
der, said 1 could go to hell for the
cans." After suggesting that he was
very sorry to be compelled to bring
up such unpleasant language and
such an unpleasant matter, Mr. Hob
son asked what the commissioners
would do in the matter.
"What will you do?" an Astorian
reporter asked Judge Trenchard.
"Well, probably we'll try to sec
that Mr. Hobson won't have to go to
any very hot place to get his cans.
The cans belong to Mr. Hobson by
contract, I believe."
Under order from the commission
ers Sheriff Pomeroy will sell all
property acquired by the county on
tax sales to the highest bidder from
the court house steps, on July 13.
The commissioners yesterday took
action upon the precincts that voted
dry in the liquor election June 1. The
court ordered that in Precincts 1, 6,
7, and Olney, the sale of intoxicating
liquors shall be prohibited for bever
age purposes on and after July 1, and
for all other purposes except those
mentioned in Section 2 of the statutes
of the State of Oregon; and that the
order shall remain in force until the
voters decide differently at an elec
tion duly called for that purpose.
Carl Hagglund, road superintend
ant of Road District No, 16, stated
in a communication to the board that
the money given last year to this
district to put in a fill near Knappa
proved not enough to complete the
job. 'Ihe road washed out, and Mr.
Hagglund states that if not fixed now
the road is likely to become impas
sable next winter. A bulkhead and a
little more grading are required. The
court ordered the matter looked
into.
The Fourth of July committee hav
ing the entertainment in hand re
quested the court to grant the use of
the court house steps on the day of
the celebration. The steps are want
ed for the orator of the occasion and
other similar purposes. The request
was granted.
TONGUE POINT DEAL
(Continued from page 1)
it is only simple justice to all con
cerned, to await, without undue com
ment, the actual outcome, whatever
that shall be."
Mr. Hammond reports himself in
excellent health and thoroughly en
joying the trip, Mrs. Hammond ac
companies him, and for the few days
they will be in Astoria, they will be
guests at the hospital home of Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Elmore, on Four
teenth street.
The Morning Astorian is glad to
lead in the expression of a very uni
fied sentiment here, that it will be an
excellent thing for this city and
county, if the business propositions
under consideration shall eventuate
in such an investment by A. 11. Ham
mond, as he is the one man who has
done much for Astoria in the past
and who is in position to do a great
deal more if this matter ends in his
acquisition of the interests in ques
tion. Mr. Hammond is also accompanied
by Messrs. G.'B. MacLeod, of the
Hammond Lumber Company, and
Superintendent McMullen of the
Vance Redwood Lumber Company,
of Eureka, another large enterprise
controlled by Mr. Hammond, and
the party will likely remain here until
tomorrow evening or Thursday morn
ing, by which the interesting situa
tion here alluded to, will be finally
disposed of, one way or the other.
