He is employed by a mining company that is setting np a stamp mill 60 miles above Juneau, near the coast, and goes to superintend' the hauling of the ma chinery to the mines. Mr. A. "Winans tells of the existence of a two foot vein of coal on his ranch three miles from the city, which shows on the river bank- when the river is at the lowest stage.

Two of the hobos who were confined in the city jail were out at work yester day near the railroad track under the supervision of Mr. Joles. An outbound freight made its appearance along in the afternoon, and when the locomotive was within about fifty feet they suddenly grabbed their coats and made a dash across the track, thus' putting the swiftly-moving train between them and Mr. Joles. They then swung neatly in under the car to the trucks and waved him a last adieu. A La Grande dispatch pays: "It is reported that United States Marshal Grady stopped off the east-bound pas senger tram at wiiDur yesterday morn--ing, to arrest a resident of that place for firing two bridges, which were burned between North Fork and Huron some time since.

A specimen of the coal found last summer by Mr. Gus Hansen, a fisher man, is. on exhibition htTHS Chronicle' office. It was found below Lvle on the Washington side and was taken from a six foot vein. . ' There is now scarcely a doubt that coal exists in immense quantities some hundreds of feet below us, and it only, remains for intelligent effort to develop some valuable coal mines. The circum stances of outcrpppings and direction of veins are to be taken into consideration, so that a drill may, 'with considerable certainty, strike the coal bed. It will take some money, and the work must be done under the direction ot an experi enced miner, but a future awaits the man who will take hold of the matter in earnest, and , incidentally the whole community will be benefitted. 'J . Public School Attendan5iS. XThe figures which follow show the rate of increase in the number of public school children for the years named. If the ratio of increase is kept up' for an other year our schools will be over crowded. It is a recognized fact that instruction deteriorates when the num ber of pupils increases over forty-five for one teacher. While room .may be found for them, and the classes may be enlarged, fifty-five pupils will be more imperfectly taught than forty-five. An increase ot school room is therefore one of the questions which will come up before our citizens in the near future. The figures are as follows : Total aver, dally attd mon end.

There will be no Prohibition county counvention mis year, ine last one held was in 1894, and up to that year since 1886 a full county ticket was nomi nated. In 1894 there was no county ticket. There has always been a paucity of votes in this immediate vicinity and in that year the formality of nominat a county ticket was discontinued. There are only about a dozen men in town who stick to that party through thick and thin, among them, Mr. Leslie Butler, who has invariably voted the Prohi bition ticket since 1876. J. E. McCor mick and S. B. Adams have been former candidates for sheriff in past years on the Prohibition ticket. ; BOSK. Saturday, April 25th, to the wife of Geo. N. Crosefield of The Dalles, a daughter.
