Narrow Escape.
It is an old and comforting s.Tying
that a special providence protects
children in time of imminent danger.
A thrilling incident occurred on last
Tuesday afternoon which verified the
old adage. Mrs. E. C. Holden being
about to" leave her residence to make
some calls looked around for her three-year-old
little girl to accompany her.
She was nowhere to be seen, and re
peated and loud calls for "Frankie"
brought back no answer. After insti
tuting a vain search jn the houses of
several of her neighbors Mrs. H.
reached the residence of Mrs. Russell,
who informed her that she had seen
two little girls on the side of the hill
wpst . of Meyers' brewery, where exca
vations had been made for filling np
lots. Hastening thither the feelings
of the mother may be better imagined
th.m described when she discovered
her darling and little Nolle Mitchell,
a neighbor's child only a year older,
unconscious of danger, gathering flow
ers on the brink of a precipice from
which a single false step or giving way
of the treacherous soil, undermined as
it wa3 beneath their little feet, might
hurl them down to the rocks fifty or
sixty feet below where they stood.
Seeing her mother, little Frankie held
out her arms and in so doing nearly
lost her balance and would have fallen
had not Nellie providentially caught
hold of her dress and pulled her back.
Almost paralyzed with terror Mrs. H.
knew not what to do. The narrow
ledge on which the children stood
afforded them no room to turn and
retrace their steps.without great danger
of falling. The children apparently
now realized this and began to cry.
Recovering her presence of mind Mrs.
H. calmly told the children to sit
down if they could and she would
come and get them. The little ones
obeyed, and hastening to Mr. Meyers'
brdwery the anxious mother called
Fred, one of Mr. M's men, to her as
sistance. When he saw the perilous
position of the children ho was as
much alarmed for their safety as Mrs.
II. It seemed almost impossible for
any one to reach them and give them
aid. By dint of great caution, how
ever, and literally crawling along the
hillside, Fred did manage to reach the
little climbers and finally succeeded in
rescuing both from their extremely
dangerous position. The side of the
hill below where the children stood
has been made almost .perpendicular
by excavations, and as nothing could
have broken their fall, certain death
would almost inevitably have resulted.
A party consisting of Lyman Kin
uey, Frank Ward, and N. D. Ray
mond have returned from Coal creek,
near the mouth of the Nehaletn, where
they repoit finding another good vein
of coal.
A scarcity of suitable white help
is at present experienced in this place.
One gentleman informed us yesterday
he'd been "all over town," looking for
a girl to do kitchen work, but unsuc
cessfully. Charters & Morton, of the Asto
ria Shooting Gallery, offer a standing
prize of 2.50 to any person making
three bnllsoyes in succession. Also
a prize of 85.00 to any person making
the highest ?core in six shots during
the balance of the week.
Complaints have been made to u
by two or three subscribers that their
papers arc not received. Mr. Seli
is positive that he delivers them, so
the only conclusion wis can anrive at is
that they are stolen. Now while we
are glad to have our literary labors
appreciated, even by geniuses of a
peculative turn of mind, we decidedly
object to such procedure. If the thing
isn't stopped we shall be oblighed
to take proper measures to have it
stopped.

truth is they .give a splendid and en
