commission men, and while the govern

with some dealers still trying to sold
up for the former high prices. Those
quoting the recent declines are selling
all the cheese.
Orape Market Is Overloaded.
This season has proven an exceptional
one for the grape Industry. The pro
duction everywhere has been the great
est In years and practically all markets
have been glutted aa a result of the
enormous receipts.
A report from Stockton, California,
says: "For the first time In the his
tory of the country the grape output has
Decome so congested that it js neces
sary for the railroad companies to put
on special freight trains from Stockton.

Portland's bank clearings for
September show the splendid In
crease of 20 per cent over the
same month of tha 'preceding
year. The last month's clear
ings aggregated 330,172,440.01.
aa compared with $26,098,609.86
In September of 1906.
No other city on the Paclno
coast with the possible excep
tion of Spokane, Washington,
has shown so large a percentage
of gain in commerce and bank
ing. The percentages of other
cities hsve averaged 8 to 15 per
cent, which is slso a great gain
compared to the Increase ordi
narily ahown by eastern cities.
September In fruit and agri
cultural regions Is a month
usually showing less gain of
bank clearings than any other
month in the year, for the rea
son that ready cash Is con
nerved for taking care of the
great crop movement that be
gins about thla time. The clear

believed, show the greatest In

Portland Union Stockyards, Sept. 80.
The future of practically the entire
livestock market depends almost entire
ly upon shippers. For instance there ia
a most excellent demand ruling at this
time for well-finished hogs but the fact
that the receipts are most of Inferior
grades, causes lower prices to rule than
would otherwise be the caae.
Of this President Caughtrey says:
"If we could get finished hogs we might
be able to obtain a better price, but the
fact is the present run of poor hogs Is
keeping tne market down.
. "Sheep are firm in all lines.
"The cattle market Is very well main
tained around the high figures, all re

Klamath Falls, Or., Sept 30. Assess
or J. P. Lee haa Just completed the 1907
assessment ron ror Klamath county.
It shows a total valuation of 37.561.779.
as against 36,094,094 last year, an In
crease of nearly 31,500,000. T'oiber
lands bear all of the Increased valua
tion, and more, for this year the non
tillable lands are assessed at 35,182,828,
as against 33,495,915 last year, while
tne improved property of the county,
together with the improvements thereon
and the cattle, horses, sheep, etc., are
valued at 3219,828 less than a year ago.
As there has been a great deal of money
spent In Klamath county the past year
in jmprovemems, me general opinion Is
that the total assessment, outside of the
non-tiuaoie lands, should have at least
equaled that of a year ago.
A burglar, evidently with more nerva
than mentality, made an unsuccessful '
attempt to hold up A. B. Ross, Janitor
of the Multnomah Athletic club, at 3
o'clock this morning within the sacred!
confines of the clubhouse. Instead of
obeying the command of the thug to
elevate his hands, Ross took to his'.
heels, despite the fact that the nigh- -wayman
was armed with a revolver of!
heavy calibre, and upon resetting tha
street blew lustily on his police whlstla .
for help.
Special Policemen Fitxslmmon ana. ,
Hemsworth who were standing at tha .
corner of Nineteenth and Washington
streets hurried to the scene and after
making a search of the building noti-, ,,
fled Captain Bailey at headquarters. A
wagon load of patrolmen was .dis
patched to the clubhouse, but although
every nook and corner of the ground
was overhauled no traca of the house-
breaker was found. v
Muddy footprints were found On one ;
of the fire escapes, however, Indicat
ing the manner In which entrance waa
effected to the building. According to
the Janitor's story he was sweeping tha
first floor and had occasion to turn
around, when he spied the crook on the
stairway. "Hands up" said the fellow,
but Ross lost no time in beating a
hasty retreat and summoning the po
lice. v
There is considerable speculation aa to
the burglar's motive in breaking Into
the club building. The only thing of
value which he could carry away are'
the silver trophies and these could aot
be disposed of unless melted. r,.
