NEED OF SPACE FOR VALUABLE

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.

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. Exact
ly I'.n new suits were filed during the
month of September, which is just
double that of the name month' of
last year. In September, 1907. there
were ;vi net Ions filed. 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.

Several years ago an effort was

Make Boosters of Visitor.
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

Mr. Wemme Is the man who once
had an Idea that the Eastern section
of Clackamas County, Including Sandy
should be annexed to Multnomah
County. In order that, the Mount Hood
