Friday s offerings sold at $8.75 for the best. There was a big run of hogs on the Eastern markets last week and prices broke from J5c to 60o. The supply of sheep was liberal with the majority of offerings medium to poor quality. 1. .... One lot of 80 10. lami'e urouin and a lot of yearling wethers, weigh ing S lbs., brought $4 65.

In fact there are few more beau tiful site to be found anywhere, sur rounded as It Is by many of tne imesi farms In Clackamn county. A vast, fertile farming community Is tributary talt, being roosted In the heart of the Willamette Valley tnan wnere n .. ter soli can be found anywhere In the I'nton for general purposes. Including fanning, fruit growing, truck, farming, poultry raising and bo culture. The vast valley of the Molalla Hlver. a branch of the Willamette, to Its South la all tributary to Canby and Its many acrea of fertile soil, some -of which Is in hih state of cultivation while other parts are practically undevel oped, offers a rare opportunity to homtiseekers, who are In quest of a location where no risks are to be taken and where dimes will grow aouars quicker than any place you can plant them. . . Any one who will frequent tne ue pot when the trains to nmii being loaded with the produce being shipped to this city by express will be convinced that to locate near Can by means to be able to raise abund ance for one' own use and to be able to dispose of the surplus at a good profit. The railroad employe on the main line of the Southern pacific which runs through the town claim that no other town Its slie along the road ships out as much veal, pork, poultry, eggs, vegetables, berries and potatoes as doe Canby. From the quality of the strawberries and loa-an berrlea raised at Canby no one could claim for them a nome out side of Csnby; for better berries never grew than these raised st Canby. The Kellogg people of Three Rivers, Mich, the famous growers of the thorough bred plants, recognized that in no Dlace to their knowledge wss the soil and climatic conditions as favorable for raising the strawberry plant as on the Canby prairie, and therefore they have a well established nursery ner. Canbya being close to Portland Is a rreat advantage. Canby Is only twen ty-four miles from the metropolis, of the Northwest, with botu raiiroaa ana river trausoortatlon. This makea It au easy matter to market without de lay and cheaply all produce ana Is renerallr-mnceded thst Portlsnd prlrt ajr gofxt".

Canby I also an Important shipping nnint of cord wood, piling and mining timbers. There Is still abundance of timber close ln. which makes it possi ble to secure the best building mater ials at the lowest cost Much surracea lumber, cord wood, mining timber and ntlins- are shipped by the carload to B-trn nntnts. These who are seek. Ing land which can be Irrlgsted will find that such land may be had along the Molalla River. While the population is only snout seven hundred, yet It Is constantly growing. During the past year more than twentv new buildings hsve been erected, and probably about ikhj.imiv have been expended for buiming pur- nnaes Our contractors tell us that from Indlcationa the number of build inn to he constructed this season will exceed that of last year. City people are seeking nulet homes in our beautl ful Ktle town," where there are no ss- loons and where peace reigns supreme, The fact that the people of Canby abolished the saloon has led the best class of people to seek homes here; therefore Canby Is & town of homes. Csnby Is slso a Tusy little buslnens town. We have three large depart ment stores, two large hardware es tablishments, three commission hous es, a creamery, a cannery, a Jewelry store, a bakery, s printing office which vets out a weekly paper, three real estate offices all of which are doing a thriving business, several conret-tion-ery stores, a large furniture store, an undertaking establishment and a bank with over $200,000 on deposit, two blacksmith shop, a pool hall and an up-to-date livery stable with an auto mobile garage. These hiislnes places certainly prove Canby a live town. Besides we have the town lighted with electricity and have a fine mutual t.lsnhona svstem. which Is maintained at a cost of leg than $2.50 a member per year. No aloons but many churches prove that morality I at a high ebb. There ar four churche consisting of the Methodist, the Christisn, tne Norweg ian Evangelical and the German Evan gelical. We also have gooa scnoois whereby the child may remain at home and complete a thorough high sehool Oood roads the yesr around are not wanting about Canby; for fine gravel roads than which none better may be found ln the 8tate are to be fnnnil leadlns- Into Canby.
