The fire occurred on Sunday night
at 12:30 o'clock, and when-first seen
seemed to have started from the sec
ond floor, where was stored a large
quantity of hay. It is believed that
tramps may have been sleeping there
and carelessly thrown a match, ignit
ing the hay.
The general alarm was sent into
the telephone office by Mayor Maple,
his home being close by. For some
time there were several buildings
threatened, and in many places the
dry grass caught fire from flying
timbers, but these were - soon ex
tinguished. Although the gymnasium
was but a few feet away, the build
ing was saved, and largely through
the efforts of Robert McClure, a 17-year-old-boy,
who made an entrance
into the building, and climbing thru
the sky light, directed the firemen.
Mr. Wait had no insurance on the
building, which Is a complete loss.
It was built some time ago, and had
been used by the Canby Bus com
pany as a storage building, while the
second floor was: used in storing hay,
but owned by other parties than tb03e
owning the automobile busses.
It was the Intention of Mr. Roae
and Mr. Lee to put on a number of
these busses as stages between Ore
gon Ciiy and Salem during the state
fair and also between Oregon City
and other points to Canby during the.
Clacamas county fair.
One large bus was out of repair
and was not in the building, at the
time of the fire, as was also a large
grey buss that had been in operation
for a number of years, and of less
value than those destroyed.
Highway Commission to Bear
Biggest Part of Cost
Of Paving Road
Vinyard Hurt by
Canby Fire Truck
CANBY, Sept. 7. Roy Vinyard is
suffering from three broken ribe caus
ed by an accident Sunday night when
he was run over by the fire company's
truck while on its way ' to the fire,
which destroye-1 the big barn of C- N
Wait in which the busses were stored
Ke was given immediate attention,
iind although is suffering Irom the in
juries, he is getting along nicely, but
will be on .-the look-out for the fire
wajoc net time, since Canby has
such a speedy company.
Decision on the part of the high
way commission to pave the portion
of the Pacific highway through Can-
by has been reached, and the en
gineers instructed to go ahead with
the paving. The work is being con
tinued upon the tacit assumption that
the city of Canby will agree to the
proposition made by the commission.
Remonstrance Presented
At the commission's meeting A.u-
gust 30, canby presented a remon
strance against having to pay such a
large amount some $12,000 for tbe
pavement. The matter was taken up,
and the commission suggests that the
city change its boundaries so as not
to include the highway between the
Molalla bridge and E. street.
Under this arrangement, canby will
only be required to bear 25 per cent
of the cost, amounting to $3,000.
The city at present, has $1600 ui
cash, voted for expenditure upon the
highway, and arrangements will be
made to provide for the payment of
the remainder by the appropriation
of 2 mills of their road money, or
$600 each year.
Court's Advice Asked
The financial arrangements will be
contingent upon the agreement of the
county court and the matter of chai
ing the boundary to as to exclude the
6n right of way, will be taken up at
the next regular election there.
When the contract for the paving
of the highwiy was awarded, the por
tion through Canby was let with the
stipulation that it might be canceled
if no agreement with the city was
reached as to the payment for the
work. Canby protested against be
ing called on to carry the expense of
all the portion through the city upon
the grounds that the municipal bene
fit did not justify the expenditure as
the road ran along the edge of town
and because sufficient funds were not
available.

the accused dentist in asking for a
change 1 of vepue to Lane county on
the allegation that their client could
not obtain a fair trial in his home
county, due to prejudice.
I believe there are many men m

Seriously injured, and perhaps dy
Ing, Dr. J. P. Graham, 706 1-2 Thur
man street, Portland, is in the Ore
gon City hospital under indictment
from the grand jury, on a count of re
ceiving, possessing and transporting
liquor.
J. La. Smith, chauffeur and auto
salesman, with offices at 228 Henry
building, Portland, is being held at
the county jail In default of $3,000
bail on a similar charge, and also on
the charge of driving a car "without
being able to operate the same."
A warrant for the arrest of John
Doe for a similar liquor offense is Jo
the bands of the local police.
Graham was injured early Wednes
day morning when a Hudson machine
in Which he was riding struck -the
bank at the bottom of the New Era
hill, and turned over on its side, pin
ning Graham beneath. Smith was
driving the car, which was laden with
booze. The sheriff's office confiscat
ed six sacks of bottled whiskey, be
lieved to total 75 or 80 quarts, which
were found in the machine.
Skull is Fractured
Dr. Graham has a compound frac
ture of the skull, his right arm rs
nearly cut in two. and he Is suffering
from a number of other injuries. He
had not regained consciousness at a
late hour Wednesday, but talked in
meaningless grumbles, according t j
hospital attendants. His wife was
summoned to Oregon City and
speaks nervously of the doctor's con
dition. He visited at her home in
McMinnville during the week-end,
and she knows nothing o -his trip in
Smith's machine.
Dr. J. C- Wiley, or Portland was
called to the case Wednesday morn
ing. Dr. k. L. Holt of Portland, a
friend of Dr. Graham's came here dur
ing the afternoon. Dr. E. F. Tucker,
of Portland, was called Wednesday
and a consultation upon tbe Injured
mans condition was held.
When the car, which judged by its
wrecked appearance in a local gar
age must have been traveling
at a fairly high rate of speed, ran off
the road at the bottom of the New
Era hill, four miles south of here, one
wheel was torn off in the ditch arid
it skidded into the bank, turning ever
on its' side
According to H. J. Forsyth, of the
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho Air-
plan? company, when the machine
passed him about a half mile abovo
where it was wrecked, it was going
between B0 and GO miles an hour.
Forsyth and several friends were re
turning to Portland from a huntinig
trip.
Machine is Wrecked
A few minutes later, Forsyth came
upon the wrecked machine. SmiHi
jumped out to the road when the ma
chine stopped and exclaimed Every
th'ng's all ri?ht. I jvt want seme
water." Forsyth and his companion';
examined the ca.-, and discovered a
man's foot dangling from "vnder the
running board. The raan wa3 hleod
ing and gasping for brnath. Help of
passing autoists was enlisted and Dr
Graham released from beneath the
machine, and rushed to the- nospial
here. Smith was held until Sheriff
Wilson arrived.
The third passenger of the machine
according to the story, jumped out
when the car hit and" c.lled Smith to
follow. According to Smith's state
ment he would not abandon the f'.oc
tor, whom he said was a friend of
his. Smith refused to state who the
third member of the party was. The
officials are at present investigating
and refuse to make any statemeni.s
as to thier beiiets on tne identity or
tho third man. It is believed that ho
niioned to Oregon City for a car in
which he drove to Portland, after hid
ing in the brush during the t'me that
Smith was held anrl arrested.
3m"th was taken before tbe grand
jury hpre. and upon his testimony,
all. three men who were in the booze
car were indicted, ar-.d their bond
fixed at 53,000. In a statement to
Sheriff Wilson Wednesday morning
Smith said:
Blinding Lights Said Cause
"T don't care to fiay where we wer&
coming from or who was in the .cir
We were going to Portland. On the
New Era hill a southbound car, with
glaring headlights, blinded me, ani
in trying to avoid it, I turned in too
close to the side of the road. A pro
jecting rockledge struck the car and
we were thrown over to th outside
of the road.
A. Safety Valve Day
After reading the speeches of William Jennings
Bryan and Samuel Gompers delivered last Monday at
Chicago and Baltimore, respectively, we incline to the
belief that Labor Day is utilized as a safety valve for ora
tors. All over this great country men swell up until the
first Monday in September and then blow off steam.
Each speaker, in his own way, analyzes conditions as he
sees them, and it is amusing to note the contradictory
conclusions.
Bryan has probably made more speeches than any
other man in the United States. He is a gentleman of
initiative ideas, seme of them absolutely unsound, and
he has been repudiated on several occassions by the
people of this country. Whatever he says, therefore, no
matter how reasonable it may appear, must be carefully
scrutinized, and not accepted as truth. It should be re
membered that Mr. Bryan was talking last Monday to
labor, and he may have adjusted his thoughts for the oc
casion, so the peerless one took the retailer for his tar
get. "Woolen goods," he declared, "are selling at retail
1 00 per cent above the price they were before the war.
Meat on the hook, which the butcher buys, has reduced,
but meat on the block, which the butcher sells, has not
been reduced."
We cannot approve of Mr. Bryan's utterances,
which certainly are not based upon a study of retail
prices. Food and wearing apparel have not declined to
the pre-war level, it is true, but they have decreased mat
erially this year, while wages in some classes of employ
ment, have remained at the high standard established
during the war.
Mr. Gompers may be trusted to sow the seed of
class discord at all times. He holds his job that way. He
may be expected to assail the open shop movement, and
he took advantage of an opportunity to defend his polit
ical affiliation. He cannot excuse. labor for refusing to
follow the Cox flag at hjs Iictation, and he blames the Re
publican party for the unemployment of millions.
"Before election," he said, "I issued a statement in
which I stated the issues that were involved, and I said
that the people would get what they voted for."
The personal pronoun is in the ascendant, it seems. j
Compared with the analysis of Mr. Hoover, who points
out the inevitable slump following war-time prosperity
and the inevitable return to normal conditions, the rav
ings of Mr. Gompers are peevish and figidity.

and this made it impossible to steer,
and the machine turned over. Dr.
Graham was caught beneath it.
"The other passenger, whose name
I don't care to give, jumped out un

Then he ran off in the dark. The doc
to has been a good friend of mine,
however, and I decided not to leave

MCNEILL'S ISLAND, Sept. 7.-Roy
Gardner is still on McNeil's island.
t This became virtually a certainity
th's afternoon when bis footprints
were identified leading from an ap
ple orchard on the western end of tha
island, which he hadi raided during
the night.
The discovery was made late today
because of the fact that the searchers
were sent on a wild goose chase by
the report that a woman had seen a
skulking figure in her orchard. When
a 16-year-old lad reported tohavo'
seen a similar figure, little credance
was given the statement.
Posse Investigate
Sixteen foot concrete, without
walks, was last night selected by tho
council as the type of Improvement to

the latter without curb3, but with
walks. The cost of the HaVrison ave
nue improvement is estimated by J.
R. Stafford, in charge of the engineer
ing work for the city, as $1275.50. The
cost of 15th street is computed at
$7,061. The Improvement will have
to be advertised and ordinances pass
ed before the contract can be let.

improvement of Harrison from 7th to
Division by the construction of an IS
foot macadam surface with six foot
walks from 7th to 6th streets and

costing 40 cents each and that the
monthly bill ran to a considerable
amount. He did not favor running a

be plenty to furnish an adequate, re

In order to reduce the cost, the city
recorder was authorized to advertise
for bids to see if meals cannot be
furnished at a more economical fi
