Candidates on the Clackamas county Democratic ,tcket have planned a vig orous campaign for the next six weeks that will be carried into every "precinct in the county.

Beatie, Sheriff; Howard F. Lat ourette, Clerk; Wm. Shannon, Record er; and J. T. Grace, Commissioner, will hold a meeting at Molalla Saturday afternoon and at Beaver Creek in the evening.

CITY DRUG STORE CHARMAN & CO. fa-ma A WW ft- Uti N Word reached Oregon City Wed nesday morning that the store in which the post office is located at Canby was burglarized the night be fore, two razors and a few other arti cles being taken. The burglar gained access to the store building by throw l ing a piece of iron through the window. I This was the same means adopted by Smith in breaking into Wassom's confectionery store in this city early Tuesday morning, a fact that leads the officers to believe that it was none other than Smith who perpetrated the Canby burglary. As in the case with the Oregon City officers, the Canby au thorities have not the slightest clew Ion which to work. No man answering I the description of Smith has been I seen since the crime in .this city. 1 Smith's whereabouts are a complete mystery to the Clackamas county au thorities who are inclined to believe that the fugitive is in hiding, that he keeps himself secreted in the timber. The semi-annual reports of the Clackamas county officers show that I the indebtedness of the county at the (present time is $41,572.12. The total 1 expenses of the county for the six months ending Mirch 31, were $36,- 410.98, BURNED TO GROUND. (Continued from Page 1.) wailing of little children could be heard above the falling of houses ana tne roarine of the flames. Stalwart men sobbed like babes. We rushed out of our falling homes into a flrey furnace of Hell a terrible sight to behold The shock shut off the water. Fire men had to stand by and see buildings bu-rn up. After awhile they could get little water but too late. Firemen worked like demons rescuing people. Many of them fell exhausted. We were two days and one night in that firey Hell without food or water, lay out in the park for two nights. We walked over hot bricks and over dead bodies and got out here in the country a few miles. The air was hot and the moke and ashes thick. The ashes fell like rain, terrible! terrible! The city under martial law. The soldiers shot lots of men for stealing. I saw them shoot one. Oh, what haven't we seen! There were thousands of peo ple crowded into one little park with out food or water. They dragged what few bedclothes they had with them. Six babies were born right close to where we lay. One woman, right close to where we lived, next door, had a baby a few hours old and when the shock came, she dashed its brains out and went madly insane. I saw it all. Ma, I am nearly, crazy. Joe is not well. He suffers with a terrible pain in his side. I am afraid of appendicitis. We had over $3000 in the bank. Have nothing to show for it only our bank books. We had just paid $75 on our lot, and were having the title searched before we paid the rest. Had our cottage all planned. Our future prospects were very bright. Now, unless you send us money, we will starve. An old lady here 77 years old, gave me stockings and under clothes. I was shivering with cold. God bless the dear old soul. I would like to come home as soon as I can. but one of us ought to stay here and see if the bank can pay. us any money. We have shocks here every day. Raise us some money, by all means do. Joe will find him a school if he can. I will be willing to do anything, scrub floors, or anything. We are staying with whoever can keep us here in the country. A man gave us a tent. Send us money to buy groceries with. Tell us what to do. We are nearly crazy. We had just put $50 in the bank and as it was almost pay day we only kept a few dollars. The store burned down, so did all the banks, and even the house we lived in, so you see we are in a hard row of stumps. If the banks can pay us even some of our money we are all right. Raise us a few dol lars, any amount you can. We will pay it back some time, even if we never get ours out of the baak. We can and are willing to do anything. "Do write to us as soon as you can. I am anxious to hear if you had au earthquake up there too. Perhaps you are homeless too. Oh, God J hope not. We have not heard one word from outside of this state. If your house is shaken down take care of yourselves and we will do the besl we can. If you send us money send it so it will not get lost. Send it to Healdsburg. We will get it all right. Tell us what to do. Joe wants me to come home. He wants to stay here until he sees what the banks are go ing to do. - I am afraid for him too, some times the earth trembles for sev eral seconds. If he stays I will too, and we will live in a tent. It will not cost us much to live. Send us what you can. If we don't need it we will send it back. Think of the great and beautiful city in ruins. It does not seem possible. I will go crazy if I don't sleep pretty soon. I am afraid to close my eyes at night. Love to all." - Section 1.
