AFTER THIRTY-TWO
LONG YEARS
FURNITURE HOUSE OF CHAS.
HEILBORN & COMPANY TO
BE CLOSED DOWN AT ONCE
-MR. HEILBORN TO TAKE
UP OTHER INTERESST.
Thirty-two years atto the well
known furniture house of thanes
Heilborn & Company was founded
in this city and for the first and last
dav of that lonti period it has figured,
steadfastly and honorably, among the
stronir. substantial and reliable com
mercial fixtures of the city and sec
tion. And today it becomes the prov
ince of the Morning Astorian, its
compeer and fellow-interest, of equal
duration, to declare, upon unequivo
cal authority, that the old business is
to be disposed of and closed forever.
Mr. Heilborn. the second genera
tion proprietor of the fine establish
ment, has wrought hard, and honest
ly, for the success of the concern
committed to his guidance and has
cherished its best traditions and
nourished its least and greatest op
oortunities for progress, leaving
nothing undone that might contribute
to its expansion and successful record.
Indeed, the business, under his
thoughtful manipulation and safe
fosterinsr. has actually outgrown its
field and has ceased to yield the reve
nue that matches the splendid invest
ment it stands for: hence, it is to be
closed down and its capital transfer
red to other fields.
There is not a man nor woman in
the city but will deplore the unto
ward circumstances here dealt with;
nor one that will not give friendly
and kindly thought to the history the
House of Heilborn has made here and
the credit it has always been to the
mmiinitv. nor to deny Mr. Heil-
hnra the earnest wish for his pro
nounced success, in whatsoever direc
tion, and interest, shall next engage
his well trained faculties as a business
man and citizen.

Honor Senator Fulton
ITnited States Senator C W. Ful
ton as elected chairman of the com
mittee on credentials of the national
republican convention now in session

Astoria man was a considerable one.
Dispatches from Chicago stated that
it was expected there would be oppo
sition to the selection of Senator
Fulton as chairman of the committee,
hut' when his name was proposed no
nihpr nnnip was sueeested. The elec
tion of Mr. Fulton was unanimous,
After the election- of Mr. Fulton, who
is known to be pro-Taft and who sat

tpe in hearine contests, methods of
procedure were discussed by the com

Just received a new assortment
' A. V. AlyLEN
magazine, whose home offices are in
San Francisco, are in Astoria can
vassing for the magazine. The six
representatives arc in charge of Mr.
O'Mcara, the field agent for this ter
ritory, and Mr. O Meara said last
evening that his force is meeting with
excellent results in Astoria; in fact,
that better business is being done in
this city than has been done m any
other Oregon city thus far worked.
The Sunset magazine is published by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, under the direction of General
Passenger Agent Judah, and is one
of the representative periodicals of
the Pacific Coast. That it has done
as much or more than any other pub
lication in advancing the interests of
the raciuc coast is me nign compn-j
. ......... t. IS
ment usually paid to it, and there u
little question that much of the won-'

No Chinese Trouble
The threatened trouble among the
local Chinese has apparently resulted
in nothing serious thus far, as far as
is known. The presence of a consid
erable number of Celestials from
Portland is still, the cause of a dis
turbed feeling among some of the
local colony, and yesterday two or
three Chinese men stated that before
the contention was over there might
be serious trouble. The Tong Chinese
only smile, and aver the whole mat
ter is merely talk from a few alarmed
ones. The report yesterday that
Sead You had joined the Tong and
thus avoided the expected trouble
proves to have been erroneous, at
least Sead stales it is erroneous. One
member of the local colony said that
the presence of the visiting Tong men
is explained by the fact that they left
Portland to avoid being called as a
witness in a Chinese murder case now
being tried in Portland. At the
sheriffs office it was said that if the
Tongs break loose in this city the
law will lay a heavy hand on the
miscreants, for the internecine Celes
tial quarrels will not be tolerated
here. j ,
Transport Sherman
The sick soldier on the transport
Sherman is reported to be getting
along nicely, and no new cases are
expected. Though the smallpox has
not run its course, the sick soldier is
already convalescent and yesterday
told Dr. Holt that he would like to
go ashore and take a walk. The
Electro brought over to the city 33
or 40 more discharged soldiers and
civilians yesterday afternoon, ; and
others will be released as soon as
practicable. Coming from the tropics,
the cool weather at the mouth of the
Columbia has been keenly felt by
those on the transport.' Some of the
discharged soldiers are apparently
planning to remain in this city and
are out looking for jobs. For those
who are compelled to remain on the
transport for a time longer, the out
look is not very pleasant. Most of
all the lack of exercise is felt. Dr.
Holt has apparently done everything
in his power to lessen me. discom
forts of the enforced detention of
the passengers and others, and es
neciallv welcome are the newspapers
and periodicals that have been sent
over from Astoria. '; A message was
received in this city last night stating
that the Harvest Queen would not be
able to take the soldiers from the
Sherman to the barracks at Vancou
ver today as expected. The high wat
er in the river is given as a cause.
This delay will prove a serious incon
venience, as the soldiers are eager to
get away, and plans are also toward
the fumigation of the vessel as soon
as the infantry leaves.
Fourth of July
The Fourth of July committee have
closed a contract for the fireworks to

Fourth, $400 will be spent and will
