I OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1907. DOES BIG BUSINESS Largest Month's Receipts in Clackamas County Recorder's Office FOREST FIRE AT BARTON SCHOOL OFFICERS, CLACKAMAS COUNTY POST OFFICE DIRECTOR, 3 YEARS DIRECTOR, 2 YEARS DIRECTOR, 1 YEAR Turing July the largest month's business ever done In the county re corder's office was transacted by Re corder Itanisby and his efficient dep uties. The total receipts for the month were $020.55, and Mr. Ramsby Bays he is unable to And any one month's receipts in the past that equal that, Not even the "big" month this spring when one railroad mortgage paid nearly flOO fees. An Idea "of the growth of business in this county is gleaned from a com parison of last month's receipts, $t20. 63, with July a year ago, $324.10 almost doubled in 12 months. The instruments recorded were: Deeds 231, mortgages -17, satisfaction of mortgages 31, assignment of mort gages 4, chattel mortgages 25, mis cellaneous 69, marginal cancellations 42, certified copies 124. The increase over a year ago is very large. For Instance last year only 179 deeds were recorded, only 11 chattel mortgages, and no certified copies made. The large number of the latter made In July were mostly copies of the S. P.'s right of way and land grants in this county, ordered for some unknown reason by the com pany. The miscellaneous Include the ap plications for purchase of Oregon & California land. At least 60 of the 69 miscellaneous were such applica tions and at the rate they are coming In all of the O. C. land grants in this county will soon be applied for. There were 89 applications filed In June and there are now about 200 al together. If the government does com pel the railroad company to liTe up to the provisions of the grant and sell the land for $2.50 an acre, there will be some tidy sums made by the Clackamas boys who were willing to take a chance. Receipti of Clerk's Office. July was an exceptionally dull month in the office of County Clerk Greenman, the receipts only totaling $329.15, the lowest for many a month. The abolition by the last legisla ture of the district attorney's fee of $10 in divorce cases has very mater ially cut down the receipts in the clerk's office. During July there were 13 divorce suits filed, which under the old lasr would have added $130 to the receipts. PROBATE COURT. The estate of the late Francis L. Pickard was ordered settled and Closd in the county court Tuesday, and administrator H. L. Harcourt, was ordered to distribute the funds of the estate equally among the three heirs, who will receive $740 each. Judge Thomas F. Ryan Is attorney for the estate. The property of George Meyer will probably be sold upon the petition of Mrs. Meyer that has been filed in the county court. Meyer was a resident of Canby, and has been an Inmate of the State Insane asylum for the last six years. A citation has been ,issued to those interested, asking them to appear before the court and show cause, if any, why the property should not be sold. DESERTED BRIDE OF TWO MONTHS Dorris May Garrette has filed a suit against Thomas Garrette for a decree of divorce. They were mar ried March 13, 1900, in Waxahachle, Tex., and the plaintiff alleges deser tion on the part of her husband, May 15, 1906, two months after their mar riage and failure to support. New Engine Installed. The big donkey engine, 9y2xll, has ben installed at S. T. Derring's camp at Viola and hauled its first logs this week. SOLD MEAT MARKET. II. A. Sawyer has sold his meat mar ket business at Fifth and Main streets to Henry Strebiz, the young man who lias been assisting Mr. Sawyer in the shop for some time past. Mr. Strebiz says he- is entirely independent of any outside concern and will soli only home-killed fresh meats. As soon as Mr. Sawyer closes up his business ill fairs, he and Mrs. Sawyer will go to the Coast for a few weeks' rest. 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 Browns Clackamas Beaver Lake Marmot Skunk Hollow Tracys Leland Evergreen Sunnyside Col ton New Era Dryland Redland Monte Cristo Damascus Dodge Meridian Shubel Phelps Graeme Dover Mulino Henrici Canby Wilhoit Porter Barton Hazeldale Yoder Oak Grove Deep Creek Timber Grove Mountain Road Barlow Union Mills East Mt.
