vanced age of 82 years. "
Mr. Driver was the father of Mr. Thos.
KDriver, our present sheriff. Others o

rank, Bruce, Henry and Edward. The
st named lives in the Malheur country
nd is no far inland that he does not yet

Bona were all present at his bedside, ks
were also their wives with the exception
of Mrs. Thos. Driver. The Rev. I. p.
Driver is a brother of Samuel Driver.

about 45 years, settling in Douglds

cause of his death was an attack
grippe, with a tendency to pneumonia.
His death was unexpected, as he seemed

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 :

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.
