WILL
START CREAMERY
PROJECT AT CLARKES
MASS MEETING . CALLED FOR
GRANGE HALL SATURDAY
AFTERNOON, OCT. 27.
LOCAL MERCHANTS ARE INVITED
Co-operation of Town and Country To
Build Up Industry That Will
Promote General
Good.
At 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon,
October 27, a general meeting of all
.' farmers Interested in the establish
ment of a co-operative creamery, will
be held in the Grange hall at Clarkes
At that time the committee- which
was apopinted at a previous meeting
will make its recommendations.
The committee, consisting of J.
Schram, J. Elmer, G. Grossmueller,
Henry Kleinschmidt, William Botte
miller and W. "Wettlaufer, met last
Thursday and decided to recommend
a set of by-laws and also to propose
the Buhl site at Rock creek. A report
on the building will also probably be
ready by that time.
The meeting next week will be a
rousing one of all the farmers in the
neighborhood to stir up even greater
interest in the enterprise than is now
manifested. The district is badly in
need of a ' creamery, since there is
hardly any opportunity at present for
the farmers to dispose of their cream.
The country about Clarkes is well
adapted to the creamery industry, and
the slogan of those pushing th3 nn-
aertaitmg is, separator, creamery,
cream check the cream check lifts
the mortgage." Up to now already
$1000 worth of shares have been dis
posed of. It is the desire of the pro
moters to incorporate with at least
$1600 or ?1700 of shares sold. The
shares are selling at $10 each.
Since this undertaking is calculat
ed to promote the interests of Clacka
mas county as a whole, the farmers
about Clarkes feel that Oregon City
is also interested in the enterprise.
They have extended an invitation, i Can Pears, Ruth Harless 1
therefore, to the business men of the
city to. come and attend the meeting
a week from Saturday, and, f they see
fit, take a financial interest also In
the corporation. Farm and city in
terests are interdependent, and this
new creamery will undoubtedly pro
mote that relationship.
MOLALLA GRANGE PAIR
PREMIUMS AWARDED AT SECOND
ANNUAL EVENT IN SOUTH
CLACCAMAS.
Molalla, Oct. 15. The Grange fair
was held here Saturday. Stock ex
hibit much better than last year.
Owing to the fact we had several
deaths in the immediate vicinity, the
pavilion exhibits were somewhat
short of the previous fair. The Juve
nile department was much improved;
yet it was short in two classes, viz:
grain and mechanical display. Nine
dollars are the total cash premiums
won by the Juveniles.
On account of the appearance of
rain Friday evening, the amusements
were materially cut short. Many ex
hibits were brought in too late to re
ceive credit.
The good day Saturday came to aid
between the dark days of sadness, and
resulted in a good attendance. There
will be a credit balance of something
like $30 to begin with next year when
we will try to put up a still better
show.
Mrs. Clara H. "Waldo was on hand
at- the appointed hour, leaving with
us one of her appropriate speeches,
The worthy lecturer was very well
pleased with her short visit at Mo
lalla. '

P. DAVIS' STORY OF BEING HELD
UP NEAR EAGLE CREEK
STATION DOUBTED .
BY POLICE.
According to the story of J. P. Davis
an employe in the mill near Eagle
Creek, he was held up on the road
about a mile from the Eagle Creek
station of the O. W. P. line. He claims
to have been making his way to the
car Bound for Tortland, about
o'clock Sunday morning, when a man,
whose description is a matter of
good deal of uncertainty, ordered him
to throw up his hands. Mr. Davis was
carrying a, small lalise in one hand,
arid upon complying with the command
only partially, the highwayman fired
a shot at him and then ran away. The
bullet, which was fired from a 22 cal
ibre rifle, took effect and lodged in
Davis' right breast, inflicting a slight
flesh wound:
Sheriff Beatie left for the scene of
the attempted hold-up about 11 a. m.
and made a thorough investigation.
Since Mr. Davis' home is not within
the limits of Clackamas county, the
sheriff did not get the opportunity to
interview the wounded man personal
ly. From inquiries in the neighbor
hood, it was learned that the man
who was supposed to have made the
attempt, was described as wearing
brown hunting coat by some, and oth
ers again declared that Davis describ
ed him as wearing a blue jumper.
Davis himself is not sure whether he
would be able to recognize his assail
ant if he were confronted with him.
The only facts that have thus far
been established are that Davis was
shot with a 22 rifle, and that he did
not lose anything in the way of valu
ables or money in the course of the
adventure. The authorities are in
clined to discredit the hold-up part of
the story, and while no theories have
been advanced as to the manner in
which Davis received his wound, the
matter will be investigated further
and the truth of the story ascertained
Mr. Davis was able to walk to his
home at Lents without assistance,
which would indicate that his injury
is of a very slight nature.
OREGON POPULATION

STATE LABOR COMMISSION
ER O. P. HOFF.
Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff is

uring up Oregon's population. His

thusly: In a seven column table he
gives in the first column the popula
tion" in 1900 Government census)
which was 413,536, next census of
1905, 449871; next estimate based, on
school children in 1904, 466,986, next
estimate based on school census of
1906, or 495,324; next estimate based
on school enrollment of J.906, 518,483;
next entimate based on school at
tendance 1906, 500,754 ; and finally the
average of school enrollment and at
tendance, 1906, which is 504,649, and
which he says is a fairly accurate
statement of the present population, j
Clackamas county's figures in the
seven columns are as" follows, - re-1
spectively: 19,658, 20,478, 20,631, 22,
012, 22,352. 20,552 and 21,638 the last
being 'our present population" accord
ing to figure-sharp Hoff.
