OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1921.
CANBY AND
Plans Are Made For
Canby Auto Resort
CANBY. Aug. 23. C. H Porter, en
gaged in the garage business in Canby
tor several years, where he lias pro
perty interests, and later following
the same business in Oregon City '.la
til moving to Portland about a year
ago, where he has been connected
with several automobile establish
ments, was in Canby Tuesday, pass
ing through Oregon City. Mr. Porter,
while in that city, compelted arrange
ments for again taking possession
of his 40-acre tract of land, located on
the cew highway close to the new con
crete bridge spannitag the Molalla
river at canby. At the present time
the place is rented, and will oe va
cated within a few days, wnen Mr.
Porter will move back
It is the intention of Mr. Porter to
beaut.fy the grounds, erect a dancing
pavilion and establish a free automo
bile camp and get everything into
readiness to accommodate the many
tourists coming to Portland to at
tend the 1925 fair. Mr. Porter says
'I could remain in Portland and estab
lish a similar resort near that city,
"but I prefer to be a big fish in a little
..... -- . ... j
puddie' than a little fist m a big PUd-
die' and I am going to carry cut tne
plans. I have had m view fcr some
time, and I believe I will have one of
the most desirable and attractive
resorts in the state when completed."'
Mr Porter will commence immedi
ately in making the improvements on
Ids place. A beautiful grove over
looks the Molalla river, one of the
most scenic stream in the state, which
will be fitted up for an automobile
camp. Stoves for the convenience of
the motorists will be placed there as
well as other1 conveniences. A dancing
pavilion will be one of the places of
amusement for the tourists. A nine
room house is already on the place,
and ihis will be remodeled and fitted
up for a hotel for the guests at the
park providing they do not care to
camp
A private water system is already
on the 40-acre tract, and the wen sup
lying the pure drinking water, which
is ice-cold the year around, is consid
ered one of the best in that section.
The water has been tested and found
pure.
A filling station will also be on
the grounds for the convenience of
motorists passing that way.
Mr. Porter is enthusiastic over his
new enterprise, and says that the
western states will see more tourists
in 1925 than at any time in its history.
Blackberry Crops
Exceptionally Big
CANBY, Aug 23 The Evergreen
blackberry harvest is now at its best
in the county, and surprising is the
large amount of berries that are
grown in the county, and being '
brought into the Canby market. j

w-ek for the berry market, but this j
wek has been still better, for the I
berries commenced coming in Monday !

,tV5mVtr.rt The berries are shinned !
to' Woortburn and other canneries at !
Portland, Sherwood, Sheridan and Til-
lamcok.
Latt week the Schmitt Produce
Company received 22.1'29 pounds of
these berries at Canby, and thee
were shipped to the Graves Cannery
at Vv oodburn, and from the present ;
indications there will be at least tw" j

which was lio pounds.
The Evenarreen berries, where
grown on the lowland, are of unusual
size, resembling the Lawton berry and
of delicious flavor. Many are finding a.
ready market in the stores, but the
growers prefer to sell these in larger
quantities and are disposing of them
to the canneries.
Evergreen berry vines are growing
wild in various parts of the county,
and the bushes are laden with ripe
and green berries. From appearance
of the vines the crop will continue for

LEASING OF
CITY HALL
IS PROPOSED
OFFER MADE FOR MAIN
STREET BUILDING
Contract Under Advisement
of Finance Committee;
Report Monday
A ten-year lease of the city hall on
Main street is under consideration of
the city council.
At a meeting held Wednesday af
ternoon a report was made by Coun
cilman Albright, chairman Of the fi
nance committee recommending the
signing of a lease for this period with
Ropel and Ruconich at $150 a month
The matter was referred back to the
finance committee to draw UP the
lease, specifying all minor terms of
agreement, action on which is to be
taken at a special meeting at 7:30
o'clock Monday night.
Lease Taken Over
The proposal made by Ropel and
Ruconich, is to lease the city hall
building, taking over the three year
lease held by Busch and Sons. Busch
and Sons own the two buildings to
the south of the city hall, and in re
turn for the relinquishment of their
lease, ask the city to deed them a
.line foot strip to the rear of the city
hall to give them access into the
alley This would necessitate the
moving of the west wall of the city
jail, as at present it projects approx
imately six feet into the proposed
nine foot strip asked.
Ropel and Ruconich at present oc
cupy the south building owned by
Busch and Sons, and contemplate the
moving: of their butcher shop into the
city hall building, should the agree
ment be concluded. They plan no
striking alterations in the building-at
present. Busch and Sons at present
occupy the ground floor of the city
hall.
This stipulation is to be made in
the agreement that the city council
will retain the use of the council
chambers for a period of one year,
and if the hall is desired after that
lime they still have the priviledge of
using it upon payment of $l(j a month.
The building is now renting at $75
a month.
Offers for the purchase of the
building at prices given between
$15,1:00 and $16,000 are understood to
have been made although they have
taktn no chrystalized form. Objec
tions to the leasing of the building
are made upon the ground that the
old city hall is not compatible with
the desired type of structure which
should grace the main thorofare.
Those favoring the leasing of
the
building point out that $18,000 rental
over a ten year period is a financial
proposition that the city cannot af
ford to overlook.
Manager of Grain
Growers is Here
C. A. Barnes, organization manager
of the Oregon Cooperative Grain
Growers' association was in Oregon
City, Wednesday, arranging with the
local members of the association for
shipments of their grain to the cen
tral 'warehouses.
The organization has nearly 300
members in this county. Wheat from
these ranches is taken into the ware
house in Portland. The organization
acts as a marketing association, and
arrangements have been made to piy
'he farmers seventy per cent imme
diately upon delivery. This percent
age is based upon the prevailing mar
ket quotations. When the wheat is
finally sold, settlement is made with
the farmers, the difference in the
fluctuations of market price being
allowed for in the final payment.
The association according to Mr.
Harnes, has 14,000 members through
out the northwest. The wheat crop
this year, he says, is short. This is
due to a depletion of the yied, some
tiree or four bushels to the acre
balow the original estimates for the
stason, and the fact that the acreage
this year has fallen short of previous
plantings.
Brakes Held Most
Important to Car
The most important feature in the
design of a safe vehicle if the braking
system. The efficiency of the brakes
depends on the pressure applied, the
length of brake application, velocity
and condition of braking surfaces.
With light cars and medium speeds
the limitations of hand-operated
brakes are not so noticeable, but
when one considers the modern, fast,
heavy truck and trailers, one has a
cond'tion "n which it is impossible tt.
provide safety in operation by using
only the hand brakes on the 'ear
wheels of the truck.
To bring a truck and trailer to a
stop in a reasonable distance, using
only the brakes on rear wheels if
truck, may require as much as twenty
times the pressure that can normally
be applied by a hand brake. By using
brakes on all four wheels of both ve
hicles they can be stopped in three
tenths of the distance traveled when
using truck brakes only. Some of the
latest automobiles are being adver
tised as having brakes on all four
wheels, and some are experimenting
j with air brakes.

Willamette Valley
Towns Hit by Pest
Although authorities on bugs and
beetles have repeatedly stated that
the elm beetle was likely to kill many
of the fine elms in Salem, unless pro
perly sprayed, says the Salem States
man in speaking of a c.mditicn which
is paralleled in Oregon City,
then? has been no concerted action
either by city or county authorities
to do the general spraying that will
be so necessary within the next 10
days.
S. H. Van Trump, Marion county
agriculturist, says he has no funds
with which to spray, although the
Valley Motor company still offers Its
bean sprayer and truck to aid those
who are interested In preserving the
stately elms.
The first attack of elm bef-tle
stripped bare many of the finest elms
in the city, but as is customary witn
trees thus denuded, they began t o
put out additional leaves. Now, just
as these leaves are beginning to de
velop, the second crop of beetles Is
about ready to hatch, and according
to Mr. Van Trump, unless these bea-
I ties are destroyed by spraying, tho
life Df the tree is seriously endanger
cd. During this time of year a tre-3
cannot live without breathing and I
his is done through its leaves, h e I
nays.

MAN BEATEN
TO DEATH AT
TROUTDALE
FORMER C W. EMPLOYE
IS MURDERED
R. F. McNeil Believed Victim;
Robbery Given as Motive
for Horrible Crime
The body of a man supposed to be
R. F. McNeil, former employe of th-J
Crown-Willamette paper company
was found by passersby in a clump
of bushes between the Troutdale de
pot and the Sandy river, at 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning. The man had
! been beaten to death, his head crush
ed in and blood in the immediate vi
cinity of his body and the presence
of bloody rocks evidently used to
battfr his skull, give rise to the
theory that a serious struggle took
place.
Once Employed Here
McNeil was employed at the paper
mill here between December 1920
and March 31, 1921 He was about
55 years of age, and is unmarried. He
was working on a construction gang
ht the mill, and leaving there went
to Portland where he stayed at the
Foster hotel, 66 North Third street.
The pockets of the victim's eothes
were turned inside out and the con
tents of his suit case strewn about
the vicinity.
The spoi where the crime was com
mitted is a small tract covered with
underbrush much frequented by "ho
hos" as a renezvous where they camp
while waiting for trains to and from
Portland. It is believed that va
igrantc camped here set upon the man
and murdered him in the belief that
he had money or other valuables on
his person.
Fugitive Sten
The two murderers are believed to
have boarded an eastbound freight
train early Wednesday. Police au
thorities and railroad detectives at
all O.-W. R. & N. points have been
requested to arrest the two killers.
About midnight Tuesday, the two
men asked various railroad crews
about trains going east. They were
seen about the station a short time
before a eastbound freight left the
yards.
The body was discovered Wednes
day morning. The sheriff and cor
oner were notified immediately.
Multnomah county officials are
conducting an investigation of the
case. Rpbbery is believed to be the
motive for the crime.
The man's connection with Oregon
City was made by a letter in his
pocket, containing a circular from the
Bank of Oregon City. The officials
of the local bank say that McNeil had
aii account there last year, the last
transaction of which is dated Ma
27, cf this year
