ROAD TO FAIR GROUND
AT CANBY NOW BEING
IMPROVEDBY COUNTY
16 Foot Macadam to Replace
Old Thorofare; Camping
Site Improved
CANBY, Or., Aug. 30. The road
extending from the highway" to the
big gates of the Clackamas county
fair grounds is being improved by
the county. Abe Johnson, road su
pervisor of Road District No. 46, is
in charge of the work and having a
crew of men, who are already mak
ing an excellent showing. The road
will be 16 feet wide, and a new gate
wil' be constructed, also the ticket
office moved to a more convenient
spot.
During the 1920 fair the heavy and
continued rain during the four day s
fair put the road in very poor condi
tion. No trouble like this will be ex
perienced this year.
Mr. Johnson is also to improve the
fair grounds after the road is gravel
ed. The camping grounds will be
cleared of debris, and a scraper used
on the roads leading to the big pavil
ion. The race track will alao re
ceive the attention of the workmen.
Cattle Housing Problem
Owing to the large number of live
stock men who are to bring their
stock to the fair, a problem is fac
ing the management in housing the
cattle, but Secretary Long, says he
will see that the stock is properly
handled if it is necessary to secure
canvas for covering for stock build
ings in addition to those on the
grounds.
It is probable that a band from Mt.
Angel or Portland will be among the
attractions, and it is the intention of
the management to havt plenty of
music during tne aay ana evening.
Band concerts will be given in the
evening.
Long has arranged for a number
of th" amusements from the Oaks
and Columbia beach places. Among
these will be a ferric wheel, merry-
" go-round, candy booths, and other at
tractions that are to be among the
drawing cards.
Edward Fortune, who is in charge
of the horse races, has recently visit
ed the Southwestern Washington fa'r
and also the state fair grounds at Sa
lem, where he arranged with a num
ber of the race horse men for their
horses. The races this year promises
to be the greatest ever put on the
race track at canby.
Grange Will Compete
One of the strongest competitions
will be among the granges of the
county, Oswego igramge is to make an
effort to retain her its reputation by
winning first place, as it has done
for the past two years. Hazelia will
not exhibit this year in the communi
ty display, but members ot the or
ganization, who are also members of
the grange, will devote their atten
tion to the grange booth and give a
helping hand for that organization to
win out.
It is said that Canby w.'ll enter in
Ihe community contest. iNew Era
grange has asked for a different space
than held for many years. The re
quest has been granted, and members
of that organization as well as Hard
ing grange are determined that Os
wego won't get the money away from
them this year. Both have won first
honors at previous fairs.
Concessions App'y
There will be plenty of weenies ta
feed those who desire such, for Mr.
Lon is besieged with requests for
concessions of this kind. Ice cream
cnnes w'll also be sold on the grounds
asf well as, red lemonade, popcorn
and peanuts .and everything else that
goes with a fair of this kind.
H. J. Bigger of Oregon City, is
arranging to have a better and larger
display of flowers, and several other
florists are (contemplating io show
what they can produce. A florist
has been selected to act as judgu
of the flower show, but Mrs Bertha
Hur.?t will have charge of the de
part nient.
Mrs. A. H. Knight wil have charge
of domestic science, and Mrs. J L.
Waldron, of Oregon City, will have
charge of the needlework. Many are
contemplating to enter in these
booths.

show Short Horn cattle and may al
so bring some of his goats. Dr. O.
A. Welsh, Of Oregon City will show

LEASE SIGNED FOR.
NEW FORD AGENCY
A :ease on the Tracy building of
Fourth and Main streets ha? been
signed by Park and Shepherd, local
garage men who will have charge tf
the additional Ford agency which is
to be established here.
The building is to be remodeled
and is expected to be ready for oc
cupancy by November 1- A portion
of the building used for a sales office
was opend last Monday.
Owing to the large number of Ford
cars and Fordsor tractors in use in
the present structure in use after
January 1, 1922. according to County
Judge Cross. No arrangements, ac
cording ta the judige, have yet been
made to solve the probblem that will
loom big as soon as the work of
tearing down the old bridge starts.
A number of plans have been pro
posed, from the building of a pontoon
bridge to the operation of a ferry,
but no official action has been taken.
Opinion at the meeting of-the West
Linn council last night, was that the
matter assumed a state as well as
local importance in as much as it
involved one of the main arteries of
travel. Some provision, they fesl,
will have to be made to take care of
vehicle as well as pedestrial travel
across the river.
Adequately caring" for traffic across
the river for a years period, it is
felt, is one of the biggest problems
confronting the, cities and county in
the construction of the bridge. The
industrial plants which will be af
