NEW ELECTRIC
COMPANY FOR
CANBY IS PLAN
OLD FRANCHISE NOT TO
BE RENEWED
Preliminary Action Taken by
Council; M. J. Lee Would
Form Company
The approval of an ordinance on
first reading, providing for the award
ing of a franchise to M. J. Lee, is the
outcome of the electric rate war, in
progress at Canby.
This action was taken at a meeting
night, preparatory to the making of
provisions for the service there after
the expiration of the franchise of the
TVIolaJla Electric Company November
5. The proposed franchise to Lee
and his associate is for a term of
2d years
The Molalla Electric company re
cently boosted the rates in its dis
trict over 100 per cent. The former
rate was 75 cents per 60 k w., and the
new rate was set at $1.70.
Consumers Protected
Consumers in the district protested
loudly against the increase which the
company said was made necessary by
the increased cost of delivery. The
new rates went into effect July i.
Mass meetings were held and a num
ber of the consumers took out their
lighis in an effort to boycott the
company. The city of Canby also cut
down its consumption in an effort to
secure the reduction of the rate.
The boycott plans failipg, agitation
was started toward the interesting of
a new company in the field. M. J.
Lee, to whose company the proposed
ordinance would grant a franchise, is
a resident of Canby and was one of
the men who was instrumental in
fighting the rise.
New Lines Planned
Even under the old system, the
service, according to the consumers,
was not satisfactory. The equipment
of the Molalla company was old and
the results did not come up to stand
ard The new company,, if the fran
chise is granted, contemplates the in
stallation o a three phase system, to
replace the smgie phase system whic'i
is in operation at the present timi;.
No attempt, it iis said, is to be made
to revamp the equipment at hand at
present, but an entire new set of
transformers, poles and wiring Is to
be installed.
The Molalla company purchased its
power through the P. R-- L. and P.
company at woodburn. The new com
pany proposes to purchase power in
the same way, acting only as a dis
tributing agent, but will run its lines
from Oregon City. It is claimed that
in this way they will be enabled to
offer power at a cheaper rate. The
proposed franchise makes the provi
sion that the initial rate shall be, the
same as that in force at Oregon City.
The rate here is at the present time
approximately the same as the rate
at canby before the rise went into ef
fect. Business Man is to
Leave Canby Soon
CANBY, Sept. 21. Frank Hopp, who
has engaged in the harness business
in Canby, together- with shoe rM. air
ing and making a specialty of recover
ing auto tops, will leave soon ' tor
Oregon City, expecting to open his
establishment there about October i.
Mr. Hopp recently purchased a portion
of the Knapp property in Oregon City
located at Tenth and Main streets,
and has erected a fire-proof one-story
building.
Before coming- to Canby Mr. Hopp
engaged in the same business in Ore
g&n City as in Canby, and during the
big conflagration when almost a half
block was destroyed by fire hi3 place
of business" was amor.g those burned
He has done well :n Canby, but desir
ing to return to his home city, has
erected the new building. He .has
sold his place here, and his family re
turned to Oregon City. Mr. Hopp rcak-in-r
the trips to this city each day to

good business, while other residents- of
Canby had concessions.
Rooming houses, hotels and homos
were filled with fair visitors, many of

ed beautiful flowers from their home

for the first time entered his Sh:rl
Horn cattle.

tion never failing- to come through
with an exhibit of livestock.

Deplorable Conditions and
Atrocities Told of by
Young Woman
Their father cut to pieces, and their
mother burned to death by the Cos-
socks their home, once spacious and
beautiful, in ashes their neighbors
dying like animals from the cholera--
people about them fighting in vain
against starvation such is the Russia
that is described by Lydia Sommers,
niece of Henry Kerbs, of this city
Kerbs has just received a letter
from Lydia Sommers, written at At'a-
hoka, Hoboysehckar. Caroar. K. h.
Russia. Lydia is the daughter of
his Eister, Mrs. Katherino Sommers.
Kerbs had not heard from his sister
for over 15 years, and his efforts to
get. word of her were unsuccessful,
Mhen a letter in January of this year,
readied her three daughters in Rus
sia. The return letter, mailed June 22,
is full of the pathetic stories and ac
counts of the deplorable conditions
and hardships which Lydia, and her
two sisters, Lottie and Katie, have
undergone at the hands of the op
posing faction of the Bolshevikl.
Tragic Story Told
The Sommers girl tells of the tra
gic death -of her parents and Uie
loss of their home. The Sommor
home was one of the best in the
country, and what now remains cf
their place was a shed where the
pigs were housed, which is now hous
ing the .three attractive daughters of
Mr. i'and Mrs. Sommer. The girls
have prayed to hear from their uncle,
they say in the letter, as tliey knew
their uncle was in the United States
but did not know his address. They
say their prayers were answered,
and there was great rejoicing when
the letter came, and are anxious that
their uncle send for them to come to j
God's country America. In the let
ter they say "Uncle we will gladly
write our oath in blood to do our
part in America if we can get there."'
Katie is 23 years of age: Lottie, 21
years -and pretty Lydia is 1C years.
"No one knows what we have suf
fered," write rlie girls in the Rus
sian language.'" There is no grass
on the ground now for the people
have eaten this, and they have even
eatert the leaves and the bark from
the trees. A few days age it was re
ported that grass was to bo found sev
eral miles from here. Many started
for the grass, with hundreds fallinc
by the wayside After some had
reached the place they were too weak
to eat.
Animals Nare Eaten
"fhere are no dogs, cats or cows
and not even any horses now. Tho
people here have eaten everything in
that class, and most of the rats have
been eaten. We are even eating
rats, when we ar lucky enough to
get them. Gophers are now bei.ig
aten and these will soon run out.
for all are trying to get enough of
these to eat to keep from starvation.
"There are thousands oC people
dying from hunger, and ycu will find
these lying on the street dead, ' and
clothed in burJap, while some have
little clothing' on.' It has" gone so far
that now some of the people have
commenced eating the dead after
they have laid on the streets for
days. Cholera has broken out here,
which . is due to the bodies lying on
the ground. The stench is terrible,
and still people are eating some t
these bodies. The! death rate has
averaged from tfu to 150 a day. There
are no coffins or graves to put
these unfortunate people m."
Cost are Enormous
It cost the three girls $10 Cten rub
les) to send the, letter to their uncle,
and in giving some idea sua to the
cost of articles in the aiflicted city
they say that a pair of shoes will
cost $250,000: a shirt, $500,000, a ons
cent copper of- United States money
is worth 10,000 rubles.
They tell of the bridges that hav
been blown up and that the railroads
are unable to come there, and as
there was no -note paper to write
the letter on the girls found a page
from a note book which they have
written on, and on the rear side of
a tax receipt of their Jate father datod
December 23, 1883, they have con
cluded their letter to. their uncle
They said a minister loaned them the
ink in "which to write it.
Mr. Kerbs has telegraphed his
mother, Mrs. Clara May, of Russell,
Kansas, of the .terrible sufferings
her grandchildren have undergone,
and. she will assist her son in send
ing for the children of Mr. and Mrs
Sommer. Mr. Kerbs has taken up th
matter through his attorney, Judge C
Dimick, in an ef of rt to brinjg; the girls
to the United States whic lithe girls
call "God's country."
Girls to be Ailed '
Mr. Kerbs said "if it takes my last
cent I am going to try and bring
those girls over here, for they are
dear to us and my dead sister's child-
"I heard of America when I ' was
mere lad," saya Mr. Kerbs, and
always desired to go there, and when
I was 15 years of age 1 came over
with my mother, and have been in
America for the past 32 years, and it

God's country, and if the girls have
not died sinoel writing the letter,- I
am going to do my part by " them)(

Business
During 1919 and 1920 the country appeared to be
on the top wae of prosperity. But actually business
conditions were never moft rotten in our history. Our
people were .dancing and joy spending on the brink of a
precipice. We were doing business on a vast and top
heavy structure of inflated prices and loans, and a col
lapse was as sure as the setting of the sun.
Some clear sighted prophets predicted trouble and
made themselves vastly unpopular. But the great ma
jority of business men looked ahead with unbounded
confidence, and predicted that prices were going to a
still higher level. Those who showed conservatism were
laughed at for their old fogy inability to see things in the
terms of the present day.
In time of great expansion most people are unable
to look below the surface and perceive the indications of
coming contraction. And similarly when a period of
collapse has run its course, the same folks can not look
below the surface and observe the signs of coming expansion.
That is emphatically the case at the present mo- j
ment. The indications of coming prosperity are so ob- !
Vious that only a blind man should be oblivious of them, j
The month of August has been showing heavier car i
loadings and increased net earnings on the railroads. .
That means more business for railroad equipment fac- i
tories. Building operations have increased over last j
year. Larger sales are being made at higher prices, of ' j
basic stuff like scrapped material, canned goods, pig
iron. etc. The movement of silk" goods and shoes is
more active. -
The people who on the top of the wave could not !
see the first movements of the buyer's strike, are unable f
now to see the signs of the growing swell. . But those I
who looked ahead, who prepare for the coming activity, I
who advertise their goods and push their business, are j
the ones who will gain the advantage of the returning
wave when it reaches us. !
many friends, who are taking an in-
terest in the matter and will give i
1heir assistance in trying to bring
his nieces here.
Community Club at
Milwaukie Discussed
MiLWAUKIE, Sept. 27. Fred Hoes-
ley was confined to his bed several
days last week with a severe; attack of
grippe. He is able to be about again
and expects to resume his work at
the Viley B Allen company in a few
days.
The parochial school h.it opened for
the fall term with, a large registration.
The addition is nearing- completion
which was necessitated by the increas
ing attendance The church and t,ne
nanse have been repairrtod which
adds very materially to their appear
ance. The mass meeting called for tte
purpose of considering tht: reusability
cf organizing a community club was
calh-d to order by P. M Fisber. M.
E. Shrock made a" few int-oOuctory
remarks after which b? introduced
the main speaker Fred E. lockley,
who spoke on community welfare. He
emphasized that a community does
not consist of brick and moiter in its
banks and business houses, but what
makes a city is its citizens, saturated
wita. goed live community spirit.
Mr Lockley was followed by Mr.
Shrock, Mrs. Froman, Mr Stein, Mrs.
Eisert, Mr. Wakefield, J. V. Grasle,
Mrs. Johnson, Mr Collier and Rev
John Bernards.
A motion was made and unanimous
ly caried that the moderation with tae
help of a committee select even men
who will volunteer to act as incorpor
ators and proceed to incorporate as
provided by law.
Following this the proposed new
place of amusement on the old P. R.
Ij. & P. Co. property recently purchas
ed by the Hippodrome people of Port
land, came in for its share of attention.
It certainly was very good for the
soul to listen to the mothers relieve
themselves of rigUteous wrath at the
idea of such a place of amusement be
ing thrust cn Milwaukie The follow
Ag resolution was adopted
- IVhereas it has come n our notice
in ihe public press that the Arena has
beei sole, and the parties who have
bought it iDtend to use it for a mo
tion picture show and a public dance
hall especially for Sunday dancing.
Therefore be it resolved by the M.l
wauiiie people in regular session as
sembled at the High School Building

Development of Clackamas
As Vacation Center
is Forecasted
That the opening of the Mount Hood
country through the construction of
the loop road, will mean the building
up of that district as a summer res
idential section, is indicated by the
Remand for small tracts of land
there, -and the number of plats that
are being recorded of residential
size, acording to J. G- Noe, county
recorder.
A plat, recording the location of a
tract consisting of 18 lots, was filed
Wednesday. It rovers a portion of
the territory along the Salmon river,
about three-quarters of a mile from
the new road.
A' number of locations of this kind,
have been recorded says Mr. ,Noe,
and they point to the fact that this
district is experiencing a growth as
the location for summer homes.
A large number of the tracts are
small, but all are divided into lots,
and are laid out in portions of the
country that afford scenic advantages.
A number of individual filings in this
district have been made, and the sdte3
are (being used for country lomes
of people who live i nthe most cases
in cities outside of the county.
This movement, says Mr. Noe, is
indicative of the growing demand for
summer locations in this vicinity,
Mount Hood, with ita wonderful
scenic attractions, and the beauty of
its surrounding country, is becoming
a mecea for those, who seek refuge
from the mid-year heat. Most .of
these locations, he says, are being
made in Clackamas county. The plat
that was filed Wednesday is the third
in the past months which is in the
nature of a resort. .
This means that the hitherto un
touched possibilities o f Oregon's
mountain regions as a drawing card
for pleasure seekers are beinig real
ized. The movement of acreage in
this section, which is being convert
ed into residential plats, is an out
growth of the improvement of the
highways, it is believed. With the
opening of an easy means of access
to the mountain fastness the way is
cleared for the buildings of a chain
Jt vacation resorts that will (rank
with any even in Oregon. .
