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. ". No citizenship papers can
be Issued for one month prior to any

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.
