After Bart was all in Knapp left the Brut sack and etsayed Hicy all saitl the L'mp wasrotten the throwing end of the game and at it was nearly over they did not get more than twenty or ih'rty safeties off his niovriiiti'4. Lynch was on the re ceiving en.l all of the time and caught about an punk a game as a man ran and still live. The work of the local boys was a sight tose. Theie w an only one error made by them in the game and that wait a bad throw by the shortstoy- to lint. This makes two games that the boys have got through with only one mistake, and that is the kin I of ball that Is good to see. Muygcr next Sunday. Come out and sre the Iwys play thn game. They ate all on tht job and deserve snpiort. Stevens pets belter every game nod atst.a.ly as an old timer. He struck out twelve or fourteen of the Hillsdale players. Morton was on the fir-t sack in place of I'errv Austin and came through all right. Thiee strikes tutted him a home run. Next Sunday he will probably catch as Pembroke is off on a visit to Spokane, Mayger has some team though Rainier de'ea'ed them three to nothing. But at that time Rainier was pretty strong having both Kennedy and Shaw In their lineup. The-game next Sunday will be a good one. Brttkke was there wiih the long throw to first from third. He was raibersoie at the Mist's saying he had lout his arm and made the umpire duck three or four times when he hruved them acros. adeau and Pembroke w ere at their old stations with the same old class of goods. Hitting, fielding and running are all thuir long suits and there would be an awful hole in the team if we did not have these two playeia. Two gullies have been arranged with Grcshatn, each for a good, sited purse and one to be played here and one at the Ureshnm grounds. Manager Ballagh informs us that the game Sunday is for aside bet of 100. Wm. Woodsmall Dd- Th rough a mistake the death of Wm. Woodsmall was left out of the Mist last week. He died on Saturday, the Oth, and was buried at the 1 O. O. K. cemeery at Warren on the following Monday. The cause of his death was consumption, from which he had lieen an acute suffer for a long time. Paring the past few months of his life it was with difficulty that he con Id talk, and he had looktd forward to death without the least fear, often having said thai he knew he was not long lor this, worm.

Uieloh was before the Circuit Court last Tuesday and it amused considerable local interest. The defend ants w-re arretted la't fll la the Ne halem V'allev and arraigned before the Justice'nf.the Peace here charged with attempting to ilisgulse the sex of a deer wh'ch they bad in their possession. Theyere .fined in the lowrr court and appealed. Whcn.the matter came rn 'or trial the parties In the case mutually n,Teed on a jury of eleven men. Th- s'imony in the case included the two I mm of the deer, which had been k -X in cold storage ever 'since the killing by the authorities, and the head, which Mr. Rieloli had taken good care of. After the arguments bad been submitted the jurors went out late on Tuesday after noon and, though everyone thought that they would', be back inside of an hour with a vertlict of acquittal, they stared out all night and came iu at about noon on Wednesday, having failed to agree. It is very doubtful if Ibis case will ever be brought to trial again, as it is none to strong and a verdict by a jury in a rase of this kind is very hard to secure in Columbia County Harry West, of Scappoose, former County Commieioner of this county, feavts for the Iele of Jersey, with a per mit in his county for'the importation of fifty head of Jersey cattle. Mr, West is one of the five members of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Club in Oregon and one of the best judges ol Jersey cattle in the State.

It seemt-d to the members a though every one in town had some objection to make and there is no doubt but that all who had any were on band. The matter of giving Mr Dillard a lease on the foot of Willamette'Street for dock purposes was postponed nntil the next meeting. The remonstrance of Frank'Gliniecki to fencing Oregon" Square 'was'read the secoa l tltne'and laid on the' table until the next meeting.

Allen and Dr. Ross appeared be. fore the council and each srxke in favor of a sewer in their part of the town. A general discussion of th's subject was engaged in and M'. Miller was auth or iz-d to - invite W. P. Bullock, an engineer, to meet with the council and talk over the matter of sewering the entire C'ty. The City Attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance vacating a portion of Washington Square for school pur poses. There will be every effort msde by the city to get the people of the dis trict to pnt np a good high school at this point. Mr. Day appeared and objected to the unsightly appearance of Columbia Street at it's intersection with Cowlitz, and also mentioned a few nuisances in the business part of town. The marshal was instrucU-d to inforce or dinance 104, which makes it against the law to leave wood, lumber, etc., in the street for an indefinite period. The City Attorrev was instructed to notify all persons to move all personal projierty from the Strand in the course of a short time, ami that he also lie in structed to take all necessary steps to establish the City's title to the so-called tide lands or the water front of the city. All of the members of the council were in favor of this acction, and the suit w ill be started at once. Marsh il Wilkins stated that $00 00 a month is not enough salary for the duties imposed on the marshal, as the hours for one man were pretty long. This and all the remaining work not settled was laid on the table until the next meeting.
