CANBY THIRTY YEARS AGO.
Cheapest Method to Build Roads
The proposed bond issue is based on a valuation of
$30,000,000. With good hard surface roads the valua
tion will increase, with a consequent reduction of the
millage. Based on the present valuation the average
millage for the 20 years is 4.445 mills per year. For the
first 1 0 years the average millage is 3.789 mills per year.
For the first year the county court could not handle more
than the bridge and a portion of the hard surface, with an
expenditure not exceeding $300,000, which would be
the total of the bond sale the first year.
The second year the contemplated bond sales would
again be $300,000, with a like expenditure on hard sur
facing. The third year under the proposed plan the bond
sales would total $600,000, and the fourth year the re
mainder of the bonds would be sold and the work com
pleted. Under the pay as you go plan of 7 mills per year,
the first ten years would entail an expenditure of 70
mills as against 37.80 mills under the bond plan, and in
10 years the county would expend 70 mills as against
88.90 mills in the 20 years under the bonding plan.
It would seem that it would be well worth the 1 8.90
mills to have the roads six years sooner, which is possi
ble under the bonding plan.

County School Superintendent Cala-
van has announced the amounts com
ing to this county from the aeml-an-
nual apportionment of the state and
county school funds. This money
comes to the county every six months
to defray the expenses- of conducting
the school system ot the county. The
county money coming in at this time
amounts to $60,315.38 while the state
funds total $22,031.96. The county
funds are raised on a per capita tax
of $4.14.
This Is the largest apportionment
in the history ot the county. But it
is very small in comparison to the
state of Washington where the amount
reaches the sum of $10. The reason of
this In part is that Washington state
has held an extremely large portion of
her school lands until they became
very valuable before selling while this
state sold much ot her school lands
for $1.25 per acre.
ment, occupied exclusively by th
heating plant of two furnace. There
were no good stored there, a far a

Montgomery and hi brother Dick -cured

They returned In a few minute ro-
parcntly was under the antryway to
porting that th source of th fir ap
th church, where th heating plant I
located, and the firemen Immediately
put three stream of water on the
flame. For a tlm they apparently
gained upon th fire, but at 5:15 th
flame broke through th rear of th
church roof and within a minute th
entire roof wa a ceething maaa of
flame.
It waa then Portland waa called up
on for a t i stance, and on, angina
company wa cent out by auto
truck. In the meantime th horn fir
department brought out every reel of
hosa tn th city and connected with
every fir plug within a two block ra
dius. At 6:20 th fittst company of tha
Portland fir department arrived and
immediately went Into action. It was
seen at this time that th Eddy atora
waa a ma of flame inside, although
no flamea broke through until later.
Earlier in the evening rain fell at
intervals for about tour hour but
shortly after midnight the shower was
over. Throughout the night there was
no wind and the flames and smoke
rose in a direct line into the sky. By
6:30 the heat on the Main street side
of the church was so intense that
great clouds ot steam arose from the
flooded street By this time the en
tire church structure had burned prac
tically to the ground but ' the lower
part occupied by the Price store was a
roaring cauldron About 6:20 the belt
on the church fell with a clangor.
It was impossible to save any ot the
stock ot the Price firm, the smoke be
ing too great, even in the earl? stages
when the fire was first discovered, to
permit anyone to live within tbe
doors. The crowds of volunteers on
the scene saved considerable ot the
Eddy stock, however.
Early after the discovery of the
fire, Assistant Fire Chief Walter
Young in attempting to force an entry
into the basement of the church was
overcome by the smoke for a time but
recovered quickly. Gilbert Thomas
had his hand crushed in trying to
force a Jammed door
It is impossible to estimate the loss
within thousands. The Price stock
is a total loss; the church edifice and
furnishings completely destroyed.
The Eddy stock, with the exception
of what was carried to safety, is also
a total loss. The best estimate that
can be given will place the total loss
in the neighborhood of $200,000, only
partly covered by Insurance.
