AMONG GREAT MEN.

DR.. Driver is of English. ancestry.
He is the first of his line, on his
fathers eide, in 800 years to pro-
fess or preach Christia nity. He
was born in Ohio in 1924, and at
the age of two years went with his
parents to Indiana. At an early
age he learned the cabinet makers
trade, but later abandoned it for
the ministry. In I84e he left the
East and came to California, cross
ing the plains by OK team. Later,
he returned via the Isthmus to the
East. but in 1858. again crossed
the plains and settled in Oregon.
After entering the ministry, he was
stationed at various towns in the
Willamette valley and at The Dalles.
For nine years during the Seventies
lie was stationed at Salem as agent
of the American Bible Society. Per
haps the greatest tribute ever paid
to his ability was few years ago,
when once a day for twelve days,
at the invitation of the society, he
addressed a great convocation of
OF churchmen assembled at Lincoln
Nebraska. The brightest minds of
the entire country were assembled
there, the concourse of ministerial
delegates being one of the largest
that ever came together in the Uni
ted States. The invitation to DR..
Driver came through Evangelist
Moody, and the fact that an hour
each day in such a gathering was
gwen up to DR.. Driver is a weigh
ty testimonial of his rare abilities
as pulpiteer.

officer Dargan stabbed himself three
times in the breast and then plung-
ed the knife at the policeman.
At the hospital it was found the
wound had penetrated the woman's
lung. She may die. She says she
never saw Dargan before, and at
tributes his assault to attempted
robbery.

COMPROMISE MADR.
"a Blodgett Rpad-AnS Indictment the
Circuit Court Didn't Bring.

j. ~ -
The controversy over the Norton
James road in Blodgett is sup
posed to have reached solution.
The county court has proposed a
compromise that is understood to
be acceptable to all parties, whence
tits believed the long contest is
nearing an end.
The last term of the circuit court
worked on the case. to the extent
of investigating the destruction of
county bridges, and the saving of
timbers in culverts and bridges by
which the unknown perpetrators
hoped apparently to trighten trav-
el from the highway. One consid-
cradle bridge on the road was
burned. Atterward. tine county
court rebuilt it, and second time
it was destroyed. III the investiga-
ton by the circuit court, no indict-
ment was returned, but the sum-
noning of witnesses and the rigid
investigation made it clear that fu-
ture tampering with the bridges
would end in trouble for the per-
petrators.
1t is understood that at the COM
ing term of the circuit court the
road will be ordered opened ac-
cording to the terms of the COM
promise, and that it is the purpose
to insist upon its establishment and
maintenance thereafter.
