SEVERAL SEEN RECENTLY REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Slakes Comparison With Same Per iods for Past Six Years and Covers Marriage, Divorce and Naturalization Department. county Clerk Fields has Msued an offlclal report of the amount of busl ness transacted at the Courthouse dur ing the last six months. He has also stated the amount of business trans acted aeml-annually for the lat six years. It shows that the county con tinues to make a large profit from the County Clerk's office, amounting to $11,155.58 between January and June 30. 1908. The total receipts were IS1. 35S.10, while the expenditures reached 120.200. 51. Although the amount of business transacted during the last six months was nearly three times that done In the came period In 1902. before Mr. Fields was elected, the expense of conducting the office for the last six months was $3700 less than It was six years ago. At that time there were three clerks, one of the county depart ment, one of the circuit department and one of the recording department. The loss to the county during the first half of 1902 was $9960.47. During the following six months this had been reduced to $3318.29. The profit In creased from that time on. Business took a large Jump during the Lewis and Clark Exposition, In 1905, and has gained ever since. Steady Improvement Shown. Despite the predictions of pessimists that last Fall's financial flurry would hamper the real estate market, the number of deeds and mortgages has remained normal, the receipts for the first six months of 1908 being only $60 less In the recording department than they were In 1907. They were nearly $3000 In excess of the receipts from this department during the first half of 1906. During the last six months 13.320 In struments, deeds, mortgages and arti cle of Incorporation, were recorded. Marginal releases were made to the number of 2072. On the other hand, the number of certified' copies Issued has decreased. During the first half of 1907. $840.75 was received, while during the first nan or ihuh the receipts were only $035.25. In the most of the counties of the state the County Clerks add the amount which they receive for making cemnea copies to their own salaries. county Clerk Field does not do this. The semi-annual report shows an in crease in both marriages and divorces. The latter have jumped from 176 to 210, while Cupid's success Is shown by an Increase of newlyweds from 836 to One hundred and five persons were committed to the Insane Asylum,' while In the same period of 1907 the number was only i3. Deputy County Clerk scnnelder Issued 745 hunters' licenses tins year, prior to July. For the first np.n ot 1307 the number was 627. The numDer of opium licenses issued has de creased from 59 to 45. The dental licenses nave increased from 3 to 22. The med ical licenses Jumped from 11 to 21. Naturalization Falling OH. While the number of aliens filing their declarations of Intention to become citi zens has increased the last six months from 428, the figure in 1907. to 530. the number of citizens admitted has been very small. During the last six month there were but 57. The falling off began September 25. 19S, when the new National citizenship lawa went into effect. The number admitted haa Increased but slightly since that time. Before the laws of 1906 went into effect the alien was only required to swear that he was a moral man. and that he would support the Constitution of the United State and of the states. Two witnesses, which he usually had little difficulty in procuring, were required to swear that they believed he would make a good clt laen. The alien was required to sign nothing, not even an affidavit. If at any time he desired certified copies of his papers, he could procure them from the County Clerk without trouble. This gave opportunity for fraud at the polls. But all this Is changed now. The alien cannot now obtain copies of his paper without application to the Bureau of Im migration and Naturalization, at Wash ington. L. ".

WIVS $100 WAGER OX VOYAGE Captain McKay Out foots Master of Jordanhlll Around Horn. NEW YORK, Aug. 11. Deep laden with Oregon pine, the four-masted steel bark Acme, an American ship, with an Amer ican crew, la anchored within the grate lui shelter of Staten Island. She arrived there yesterday after a voyage of 111 days from Portland, Or. The trip was replete with Incidents. The stirring time for those on board really began on the trip from Kobe, Japan, to Portland, where she went to load for this port. For seven cays the vessel rode a terrific sea. practi cally on her beam ends, with her crew working like mad between decks shifting Daiiast lo Drmg the Acme back to an even keel. So far over did she go that her main and lower topsail yardarms dragged In the sea. Captain A. F. Mc Kay was obliged to have the crew chop away the stand rigging to the fore, main and mizzen topgallant masts with their yards. The Acme's time in making tha trip from the Pacific, said Captain McKay, might be marked by moons, for they sailed under five full moons on the way around. Thirteen days were spent rounding the Horn. The extremity of South America Ttas hidden all this time under a dense fog. The Acme is one of the biggest sailing ships under the American flag. Her crew Is American, many of them having gone to San Francisco to help rebuild that city. They shipped to get East. The conclusion of the voyage referred to in the foregoing telegram means the winning of a wager by Captain McKay. When about to leave port, he laid a wager with Captain Keneally, of the Jordanhlll that he would reach port on the Atlantic flrst, and as the Jordanhlll Is still at sea the master of the Acme wins. CRptaln McKay Is the owner of a tract of land at Hood River and ennouneed"'before leaving Portland that he expected to return at the con clusion of the present voyage and locate permanently in Oregon.
