APPKOVES MIST'S SltitiHSTIoN The Editor. St. Helens Mist. An editor who endeavors to build up a community leeltlninle way. tlon and time of his fellow citizens In the first place, the press Is the most powerful means of uniting the people for the furtherance of pro toeto vhleh am considered likely t.i redound to the common prosperity. ' li Cn the other hand. In proportion as the community grows, enlarges and prospers under tlia Scribe's paternal tutelage, the fortunes of the local press are also bound 'o nourish like the piano-tree. In consideration of th's latter fart. I find It very singular that the Edi tor of the Rainier Review and be who presides over the destinies o the Clatskanie Chief have matr. tained a sepulchral silence regarding a mailer which, in a thoughtful edi torial published some weeks ago.
