Robert Thompson was bound over to appear before the grand jury by Justice Schuebel Friday, on a charge of stealing a saddle and bridle from Noblitt's sta- ble. His bonds were placed $200, in default of which he was sent to the county jail. Thompson took the arti cles to Salem and disposed of them. He was arrested there, and brought back to the city by Chief Burns. On account of Thompson's, extreme youth he may be sent to the reform school. Asse'ssoi Stout is very busy with the assessment roll now, working early and late and Sundays, to get it ready for the meeting of the county board of equali zation, which meets next Monday. Ex Sheriff G. W. Grace and J. W. Grout are assisting the regular force to got the books ready within the re quired time. It takes an extraordinary lot of work to complete the assessment this year on account of the increased number of descriptions of newly divided parcels of land. James Roots, an enterprising farmer of Clackamas, was in town Tuesday. Mr. Roots is making a success of evap orating apples, that would otherwise go to wast in his neighbor's orchards. He pays 15 cents per sack for all apples de livered at his drier. He ships the. peel ings to San Francisco, where they are used in the manufacture of jelly. He receives 2 cents per pound for this product, and later gets six cents per pound for the evaporated fruit. By doing is own labor Mr. Roots makes a araall profit on his investment. Hon. Oorwin S. Shank, accompanied by his wife and child, .visited his par ents at Canby Sunday night . Mr. Shank is stumping the state of Wash-' ington in the interest of the union party, having made six speeches in Clarke county last week. He will put in every day during the campaign, and will finish up at his home at Seattle, on November 7th. Mr. Shank is a Clacka mas county boy, and delivered the dec oration day oration here two years ago. He is confident of the success of the un ion party in that state as they are united and pull together. The prune growers in the vicinity of Olac kamas station are feeling consider ably encouraged over present and pros pective future profitB in the prune busi ness. The product of five of the larg est driers there aggregated 82 tons ap portioned as follows: Holcomb Bros., 25 tons; Marion Johnson, 15 j J. W. Roots, 14; J. B. Cramer, 15; Goorge H. ' Webster, 13. The entire product was disposed off to a Portland wholsale gro csry house for cash, at prices ranging from 3 to 4 7-16 cents per pound. Some of the driers are now running on apples. It is probable that the yield from the driers around Canby will aggregate about 150 tuns, as the Willamette Land Company's drier alone produced about 75 tons of prunes. Clackamas county growers are learning that it pays to produce large sizes, and to cure them in the best possible condition.

Postmaster Horton has received the new money order blanks, which under a new regulation of the postofflce depart ment, can be made payable at the office issuing money orders. This will be a great convenience to the public in many ways. Thus a person can pay a small bill or large one for that matter, through the postoifice, without going to the trouble of hunting up the creditor, or a person who wishes to deposit money lor sate Keeping can secure money orders at small expense, payable to himself.
