NEED OF SPACE FOR VALUABLE RECORDS AND COURT PAPERS IS IMPERATIVE. COUNTY GROWING FAST Not Improbable That New Wing Will be Constructed On the South Side of County Courthouie. Th" urgent need for additional vault room In (be office of County Clerk iri'i-iiiiiiin ha net the number of tlni county court to thinking and It is Improbable thai It will be m-c-i-Ksary (o contiiruct a new wing oa the South ld) of the coutnoiise. While no official action ha been taken aliout the mailer there I no doubt that if'unelhlng must be done at a very early date lo relieve the over crowded condition of uffnlr. Every Inch of the vault adjoining the county clerk' office ha heen taken and there i no room left for filing the valuable puper and records of the county. More room I also required In the office of Comity Itecoriler Itamby. 1 be biiHlnes of Clackamas Couutv ha been growing sieadilv. as Indicat ed by Hie number of action Insti tuted in tin; circuit Court and the fc received by the county clerk.

Tbe fees for nisi iiioinu loiaied In Septem ber. 1!MS, the fees were IJCC.fiii and for the same month in 1907 the amount was $::i7. The issuance of marriage licenses has also had a notlcable Increase, though there was a falling off In Sep lemher. During last month 30 licen se to wed were granted, as against M for September, 19ns and 25 for 1907. APPERSON IS READY TO ARGUE INJUNCTION JUDGE EAKIN WILL LISTFM Tn OBJECTIONS TO IMPROVEMENT .

During the recent rush at the auc tioning off of 300,000 acres of land in Lake County the sudden advent of 1.500 transients would have excited the cupidity of many places, but in Lakeview they were considered vis itors and the charges were in many instances nothing. In no ense were the rates raised above the ordinary. This charging "all the traffic wHl bear" when a crowd comes to a town makes the visitors kuockers instead of boost ers In too many instances to be valu able In the long run. The members of the Sandy Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, are planning for a big picnic and celebration which will take place tomorrow. The Grange will hold exercises in the mornln and there will be sumntoii dinner served at noon. This will he f.,iw. d with addresses on public ques- " "is oy urani a.
