Oregon Mist: The Mist returns sincere thanks to the Rainier Review people for their kindness last week in printing the Mist. Owing to a break down of our old Prottty we were com pelled to call upon our Rainier friends for assistance, and they did every thing necessary to enable us to print on our publication day, though too late to get the mail to our sub scribers at the usual time. We hope we will never be called upon to recip rocate in exactly the same way. Our offer of pay was promptly turned 'down, even the little devil refusing to accept compensation. Was a Good Game. Seaside Signal : Petteys, the pitcher for the Tigers, who was in the box at the game between the West As torias and the Portland Maroons at 'Astoria last Sunday, says the game was one of the nicest he ever wit nessed, perfect ball being played by both teams. Petteys says the sup port given him by the Astoria play ers was certainly greats and that they played with a snap seldom seen ex cept among high-grade professional teams. Some Fine Praise. St. Helens Mist:-The Fortland Oregonian has been, for the past 25 years, a source of information and in spiration to the editor of this paper and all other Oregon editors who were caapble of appreciating great ability and a power of expression equalled by few writers and excelled by none in the United States. For over 50 years its editor has, with a few exceptions, used his great ability for the public good. We believe he Jias always adhered to what he con cieved to be the right, and his ad vocacy of great principles has been fearless and has not waited upon popular approval. He has been a true leader of public thought and after the scepter has fallen from his hands there will be no dissenting opinion among the lesser lights of journalism as to his pre-eminence. His brethren of the country press delight in sting ing him occasionally and feel perfect ly satisfied when they make the old lion roar. It shows that he is human and has human ' weaknesses., In re sponse to a recent puncture to bis cuticule he avows: "Senators will come and go; but no man again will hold the primacy in the journalism of Oregon for 50 years." It's all very true, big fellow, and Oregon is fond of you. Never doubt that when the time comes for you to shuffle off this mortal coil the Oregon you have served so well will do full honor to your greatness. All these little matters will be forgotten then; all the acrimony of personal and po litical discussion will be obliterated and Oregon will grieve over the loss of its foremost citizen and advocate. 1 Mounted Police. The Dalles Chronicle: The Chief of Police has been leading such a strenuous life in attending to his duties as such of late, that he has purchased a horse, and now the city has mounted police. This makes it possible to cover ground quickly. CONTRACTOR MATSON SUD DENLY INFORMS COUNTY COURT THAT HE WILL NOT PROCEED WITH HIS BID. if I Aw ! V That the proposed bridge over the Necanicum will be constructed this summer now oegins to appear very loubtful. John Matson, to whom the contract for building the bridge was warded at the last meting of the. county commissioners, yesterday i withdrew from the contract Why he X did so is not definitely known, though it is presumed that Mr. Mat-j son must have discovered, or believed ' I that he discovered, some reason why he could not profitably continue with the matter. The Matson bid was for $5439. The next lowest bid was that made by L. Lebeck, for $5482, and Mr. Lebeck promptly said yesterday that he would be quite willing to go ahead with the contract if the court now accepts his1 bid, which is only for a few dollars' more than Matson's. j Judge Trenchard attempted to act X promptly in the matter yesterday as soon as he learned that the Matson : contract would not be acted upon. J Last evening he got in communication j with Commissioner Fred H. Moore T of Seaside, but Mr. Moore deemed j it best that the entire court act upon the matter. Therefore nothing can be done until Commissioner Frye re turns to the city, which may not be until Saturday or Sunday. He is out at his logging camp and there is no means of communicating with him. Judge Trenchard and the others have been very anxious to have the bridge completed as soon as possible, I so that the summer traffic could utilize ! the bridge. But with the present hitch in the matter it is now deemed j By quite improbable that the matter can ! be rushed through in time for this season's uses. Therefore, in that event, there would be no need of tying up the county's money in the i bridge before next Spring. OneFourth OFF '!

NEW YORK, July 21,-Badcn Ka rolly Tomasowzky de I'crenczy, widely known in fcurope anil this country as a maker of violins and credited by experts with having re discovered the Cremona varnisn, is dead at Far Rockaway from diabetes from which he had long suffered. lie was 48 years old and is 'survived by a widow and one daughter Vina. To this daughter, a violin maker of ability, he gave the secret of the Cre mona varnish on his death. Feren czy, who came from a famous family of Buda Pest violin makers, came to this country several years ago -at the solicitation of several wealthy violin enthusiasts of Denver who believed that in the dry air of that section it would be possible to get excellent re sults in the making of instruments. The project met with considerable success, the new instruments bringing Ijigh prices but the altitude and rari lied air that was such an aid to de I'erenczy in -so far as Jus art was concerned, was too much for his con stitution and after rcvcral months spent in an endeavor to be acclimated he was forced to return to the east, Several months ago hi condition be came such that lie had to feo to St. Joseph's hospital where he died. HE SOUGHT DEATH. The Unfortunate Napolson III. at ths Battle of Sedan. Snrah Bernhardt mentions In her me moirs that Napoleon III., had two horses shot under him at Sedan.
