opportunity to the 16 districts which
would be included in the union high
school if the movement were success
ful, to express their views.
Already five meetings have been
held and the unanimous vote has been
for the proposed union high school.
The last meeting was held at Marks
Prairie and after speeches by Judge
Dimick, M. J. Lee and Mr. Vedder It
was found that the sentiment of the
meeting favored the Union high
school i?ea.
The above numbered districts have
o total assessed valuation of about $2,
611.122.4o and all of this property, witn
the exception of No. 86 (Canby), is
now paying 3.3 mills for high school
tuition. This amounts to $6,8ol.81,
and the levy to pay the tuition of the
high schools fdr the school year of
1921-22, and als oto take care of un
paid bills.
The districts to be included in the
union high school district are No. 86,
Canby; No. 73, New Era; No. 63,
Browns; No. 81, Union Hall; No. 18,
Mundorf; No. 119, Lon Elder; No.

irie; part of No. 22, Oak Lawn, and
part of No. 59, Whiskey Hill, that lies
in Clackamas county, also that part
of No. 303, Aurora, which lies in
Clackamas county.
The total cost for the Canby high
school for 1920-21 was $7,793.55, and
the district will receive $4,337.05 from
the tuition fund. The tuition bills
for the ei'ght standard high schools of
Clackamas county and the bills from
Marion, Yamhill, Washington and
Multnomah counties amount to about
$67,000.00 and $21,722.36 will go to
the adjoining counties.
In forming a union high school in
Canby there would be created a
school board of five members, and
only one director can be elected from
any grammar school district. The
law, governing this, prevents any dis
trict from getting control of the
board in fact all members of the
board may be selected from the out
lying districts.

CANBY, March 1. "Paradise Corn
er" seems a good name for a settle
ment, but even at places of such
names dastardly acts are performed,
for at the home of Mrs, S. P. Pratt, of
that place, she recently lost a hand
some and faithful Shepherd dog by th
name of Rover, and another little pet
dog known as "Tanny'f recently
brought to Paradise Corner from Can
ada by Mrs. Mary Storey, mother of
Mrs. Pratt which were poisoned with
strychnine. A few days later, the party
or parties, who probably not content
with poisoning these pet animals, again
visited the farm and removed from
the two horses' front feet the horse
shoes that had recently been placed
on the horses when she purchased the
animals.
As the dogs were killed near the
barn, a distance of about a half a mile
from the Pratt home, and also where
the shoes were removed from the
horses, Mrs. Pratt, who recently pur
chased that tract of land containing
the barn, has decided to have the bara
buildings moved nearer her home,
where she can keep watch in the fu
ture. Already the barn lias been

farm work, including plowing and
seeding, besides other heavy farm
work, including clearing land.

PORTLAND, March. 1- "Th Ore
gon city bridge is all right and is go
ing to be built as planned," said State
Highway Commissioner John B. Yeon
yesterday.
"We have everjT confidence in the
engineers who designed and then
passed on the plans. The work will
be continued and we expect the
bridge will be ready for use this com
ing summer."
Yeon explained that after a number
of complaints came in regarding the .
crossing, the state highway commis-1
sioners, in order to make doubly sure, I
engaged Sam Murray, engineer of the
O. W. R. R. & N. Co. to check over I
the plans and view the site.
Few Changes Made
"We had every confidence in our J
own bridge engineer, McCulloch, but
we wished to make certain in every
detail, so engaged Murray," declared
Yeon. "Murray suggested a few minor
changes and additions, all of which
we have ordered, and .the work will
proceed now without any additional
fussing."
It was explained that the bridge
plans were carefully checked over by
the war department before permis
sion was granted - to build. This,
Yeon says, is proof that the structure
will not obstruct traffic.
"The pier they are kicking about is
not in the deep water at all," said
Yeon, "but rests in shallow water
near the shore. It is out of the chan
nel and will not obstruct any kind of
traffic whatever. Some wanted the
pier over on the bank. If this was
1 done, it would serve no especial good
purpose, and would cost an additional
' Sfin Oftfl Wo will not rn v nnv more
attention to this."
Design Said O. K. .
Yeon declares that the Oregon City
bridge is the strongest structure ot
its type that the state highway de
partment has ever designed. He says
the arches are of steel and concrete;
that they will be ten feet by four feet
at the bottom, and six feet by three
feet at the top.
There will be a concrete cover over
the steel to protect it against any
heavy drift that might hit it during
extra high water.
It is also pointed out the arches are
strengthened by concrete sway braces
