CANBY SCHOOL NOTES
.CANBY ELECTRIC
CASE HEARING IS
SET FOR JAN. 24
CANBY, Jan. 16. (Special) Griev.
ances of this city and the towns in
this vicinity over the electric rates
and the present service, will be aired
at a hearing beiore the Public Service
Commission, to be held in this city,
January 24, according to advices re
ceived here from the officials of the
commission. Representatives of the
entire district will present their com
plaints against the Molalla Electric?
Company, at present operating al
though their franchise has expired.
Some six months ago, the Molalla
company increased its rates more
than 100 per cent. This affected not
only canoy, Dut ail or the towns in
that district. A general protest was
made, and a number of the consum
ers even went to the extent of boy
cotting the company. Included in
this list was the city of Canby, which
discontinued its street lights until
some re-adjustment would be made.
PLANS ARE CHANGED
With the -expiration of the fran
chise or the Molalla company shortly
before the end of the past year, Can
by voted a franchise to M. J. Lee for
the installation of a complete new
system, which would give three-phase
power which the old company had
never been able to supply. Lee, how
ever, was not able to fullfill the terms
of his contract, and a municipal sys
tem is now contemplated. The coun
cil is scheduled to have a special
meeting the last of next week, in or
der to give final approval to an or
dinance authorizing the referring to
the people of a $10,000 bond issue for
the establishment of a municipal
power plant.
Under the plan outlined it is con
templated to erect a power plant on
the Molalla river. The present sys
tem buys power from the P. R. L. and
P. at Woodburn, and Lee's plan was
to change the lines so as to bring the
electricity from Oregon City. The
council has decided that it would be
more advisable to build a plant of its
own.
DECISION WEIGHTY
The action taken by the Public
Service Commission regarding the
Molalla Electric company's present
rates, will have considerable effect
upon the action taken by the council,
although the ordinance has already
passed its first reading. It is under
stood that if the commission will or
der a readjustment of rates and the
improvement of the service, the mun
icipal program will be either aband
oned or incorporated with the present
system in order to aid extension. This
action, however, is not definite, and
will depend largely upon the senti
ment whicn 3 developed after the
hearing.

W.C.T.U. TO MAKE DRIVE
FOR FARM HOME FUNDS
Petitions, asking that pool halls be closed on Sun
day, are to be submitted to the council when, at its next
regular session, it will give the new pool hall ordinance
final consideration.
In the ordinance, as it is now drafted, there is no
blue law provision. By unanimous consent of the coun
cilmen at the last meeting, the Sunday clause was strick
en out. A movement actuated by the most laudable of
motives, the betterment of conditions, is on foot to get
the council to change its mind.
Oregon City, being a strictly industrial town, is in a
peculiar situation. There are many men who have no
place to go but the mills and their rooms. Sundays af
ford them no employment, and to many the pool hall be
comes a club the orbit of their social intefcourse. Clos
ing them on Sunday would throw these men into the
streets or send them into neighboring cities, giving rise
to a worse. condition than even now exists.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the atmosphere
surrounding some of the popl halls should be improved.
Closing them on Sunday is not the solution. What is
needed is stricter regulation and more enforcement of
laws already old upon the statutes.
There is nothing inherently bad with the pool hall,
save its abuse, which officials should be able to prevent.
All proprietors of these places should not suffer for the
sins of a few. But the few must be hammered into line
with no uncertain severity.
If there is any place in Oregon City where vulgarity
and disregard of law exists, the city will have the power
to close it under the sections. of the proposed ordinance.
This is vital, and is the only workable solution to one of
the pressing public problems. It gives the council such
absolute control that they only should be blamed for the
existence of any questionable hall.
,A place that is morally so bad that it can not run
on Sunday, is too corupt and vicious to be allowed to op
erate on a day of the week. If it is to be open for six
days, it should be regulated so as not to be objectionable
upon the seventh.

IDEA NOT POPULAR
lltMl
A direct appeal to the citizens of
Oregon to aid n providing a real home
on a real farm for homeless children
is being made by the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union. The site has
been chosen and the maintenance for
the first year is assured.
Mrs. E. B. Andrews Is In charge or
the work in this city and is assisted
by Mrs. Ella M. Shandy.
Both boys and girls will be cared
for in the home, which will be located
on a farm three miles from Corvallis
and the Oregon Agricultural college,
There the children can live out of
doors and study, work and play under
normal conditions. The children will
live in cottages managed by house
mothers and the atmosphere of a
Christian home will be maintained.
"There is a most imperative need
for a real home, as distinguished from
an institution, to care for our orphan
ed and dependent children," says Mrs.
Ada Wallace Unruh. campaign di
rector. "The advantage of having a
large and permanent- organization as
a sponsor for this undertaking cannot
be overestimated."
The child welfare commission and
leading social workers have all in
dorsed the movement for this home.
Liberal gifts have been made for the
preliminary work, but it is hoped that
more funds will be available soon for
the payments on the farm and for the
construction of the. cottages.

The Milwaukie high quintet has
shown up strong against some of the
fastest squads in the state leagues
but the locals are as yet an untried
quantity. Several practice games
have been played, but what the O. C.
H. S. can do on the open floor is but
guesswork. The local high has never
had a basketball team before this
year, and Coach "Doc" King has had
a man's sized job in putting the lads
into formidable shape. The Willam
ette Independents and the Alumni are
the only teams the local boys have
met, but they have been undergoing
some heavy practice.
Maager Mayrield has arranged a
strong schedule. Among the schools
to be played are. West Linn, Gresham
Silverton and other good teams.
Two wrestling try-out bouts will
also be put on Friday evening to help
entertain the spectators. As there is
much competition in wrestling this
year it is necessary to have try-outs
decide who will represent the school
These two bouts will be as good as
any staged at the high' school.

Several months ago Henry Kerbs
of this city, received a letter from his
nieces, the Misses Dora, Lydia and
Lizie Sommers, telling of their terri
ble experience they were having at
Samar, Russia, and that they were on
the verge of starvation, and begging
piteously to be brought to America.
Their father and mother, the latter",
a sister of Mr. Kerbs, had been
killed by the Cossacks. In this letter
the. girls told of eating rats and other
varmints to keep from starvation, and
that their home iad been destroyed
ad they were living In one of the
small outbuildings on the farm, which
was at one time one of the most at
tractive places of Samar.
The uncle immediately notified his
mother, Mrs. Clara May, of Kansas,
telling of the terrible experiences her
granddaughters in the far off country
were having. Mrs. May lost no time
in forwarding $2000 for the transpor
tation of the girls to America.
Relatives in America have anxious
ly awaited the arrival of the three
Sommers girls, but word has reached
here that Lydia and Lizzie had died
from starvation and hardships under
gone, and that Dora had gotten as far
as Sweden on her way to the United
States, when she became critically
ill, and feared that she would not be
able to make the trip for some time
if she survived.
Lydia Sommers was 16 years, Liz
zie, 18 years, and Dora, the eldest,
who is trying to come to America, is
25 years. . "
A letter written by Fred Kerbs,
cousin of Henry Kerbs, of this city,
says in the streets are great heaps of
dead, and no place to bury the bodies,
owing to the snow and ice. Conditions
he says, are deplorable, even worse
now than several months ago owing
to the terrible cold weather.
Henry Kerbs, who is a native of
Russia, is now an American citizen,
and had hoped to give his three nieces
a home in Oregon City, which they
had longed to come to. If Dora Som
mers survives the shock of her ter
rible experiences undergone in Rus
sia she will come to Oregon City to
make her home at the Kerbs resi
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene, Jan. 12. (Special). In Clacka
mas county extensive use is being
made of the educational slides and
films loaned free by the University
of Oregon.
During the past year the schools of
Gladstone and Oafe Grove, and the
First Congregational church of Ore
gon City have used films. The schools
at Colton and West Linn use both
slides and films; the schools of Es
tacada, Milwaukie, Molalla and Ore-,
gon City use slides.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity has over 100 moving picture
films and 170 stereoptican lantern
slide sets which are loaned free to the
communities of Oregon. These cover!
a wide range of subjects and have
been selected for their educational
value. They are suitable both for
general showing and for class room
use. Many of the slides picture the
scenery, resources, history and indus
tries of Oregon. Microscope slides on
botany and zoology and rock and min
eraj sets are also available for free
loan to the schools of the state.
In 1921, audiences aggregating more
than 200,000 people viewed this free
pictorial material sent out by the uni
versity. Two hundred Oregon com
munities are now taking advantage of
this service. Many rural communities
during the past year have shown the
slides, using gas lanterns in the ab
sence of electric current for projec
tion purposes.
Advocation of a commission form
of government, looms as the change
to be suggested by the committee
which has under consideration the re
vision of the Oregon City charter. An,
executive session of the committee
with the city council has been called
for Friday night, at which prelimin
ary steps in the charter revision will
be outlined.
The committee was appointed by
Mayor James Shannon about a week
ago, as the culmination of agitation
here toward the ironing out of the
eternal administrative tangle in which
the affairs of the city are kept under
the present regulations.
PRESENT SYSTEM RAPPED
An attempt is to be made to mo
dernize the form of municipal gov
ernment here. The present council
manic form, it is said, is weak in a
number of ways where no provision,
is made for the increased volume of
municipal business or the diversified
lines into which it has been drawn.
A business manager form of gov
ernment, is also suggested, but it is
understood that sentiment generally
does not favor this "system, as it em
bodies too radical a deviation from
the present system.
v WORK IS PRELIMINARY
No definite action, other than the
outlining of possible proceedure is
expected at Friday night's meeting.
Although the council is represented
on the committee by three of its
members, it is probable that the en
tire membership will be called in on
the majority of the discussions before
any actual plans are laid for a change.
The committee is composed of five
citizens, three councilmen, and two
attorneys acting in an advisory ca
pacity. They are: William Andresen,
C. Schuebel, M. D. Latourette, Linn
Jones, L. A. Henderson, Councilman
I. c- Bridges, Councilman J. E. Jack
and Councilman R. Petzold,. District
Attorney Livy Stipp and City Attor
ney O. D. Eby will act in advisory ca
