One day last week the fve-year-old
daughter Of Mr. Chas. Sutton, of near Van
clevesville, WAS discovered to have fallen
in a well on the premises which is 40 feet
deep and contained but little water. A
number of persons we're quickly on the
scene but fearing sufTocation from foul air
none attempted to rescue the little one,
when heroic little brother descended into
the well and succeeded in bringing his sis
ter cut of the perilous place in which she
had fallen, whether injured or not our in
formant did not say. The brother upon
reaching the surface sank to the ground
from the effects of impure air. 1t was
narrow escape from instant death on the
part of the girl aud the action of the boy
which was prompted by affection is certain

Notwithstanding the factthat many of
our people are away from town taking
their summer vacation at the coast or

remark of all strangers who visit Cor

valley of its size. So it is; one needs
but to take walk about the city and
at almost every block he will see new
building being erected, or some new
enterprise started. Mechanics are all
busy, and our building record for 1892
will amount to more than one-half mil

harbor at Yaquina with % feet of
water where vessels can enter with
perfect safety without having to be
lightered or paying excessive tonnage
rates. The benefit of this is demon

it does from San Francisco, although
from the latter place the freight is
handled twice and the distance is more
than 600 miles greater,
