second hottest day of the year, the
thermometer registering 90 degrees.
The hottest day registered 100 de
grees, this being on May 31st.
Today's weather has somewhat
damaged the berry crop, causing many
of the berries to dry up, and the
growers had pickers in the patches
harvesting those that were market
able, for which there was a good de
mand. The strawberry season will
probably close this week in this sec

price for the season has ranged from

NEW BIDS TO BE ASKED
L
New bids for the city hall are to be
advertised, for the administration has
decided, following the assurance from
the architect that the structure can
be built within the $35,000 limit on
hand and that the previous bids were
exorbitant. Edmond Bergholtz, who
prepared plans for the new city hall,
at a meeting of the city council and
one of the bidders on the work con
vinced the council that his plans
were complete in detail. It had been
charged by one of the -original bid-.!
ders that the plans were not carried
out so that an Intelligent bid could
be made by contractors without pre
paring the detail plans themselves.-
The original bids exceeded the ar
chitect's estimate by several thousand
dolars. The- council will now ask for
bids on separate units of the con
struction, ignoring the general con
tractors in their request for the sub
mission of bids.
The contractors maintained that
the reason their bids had, exceeded
the estimate lay in the fact that steel
and cement were higher than when
the estimates were prepared and
gravel had advanced.

CANBY, Or., June 28 Throughout
this section of Clackamas county the
wheat kernels are rapidly forming,
which is due to the warm weather,
but the growers claim that the ker

LICENSE FEE OF $5 FOR
BUSSES SET BY CANBY
A license fee of $5 a month for all
interurban busses stopping in Canby
has been set as the amount to be
charged under the ordinance' which
was recently adopted to tax the lines.
The Oregon City Canby bus line is
the first one to agree to the license
and yesterday took out a year's fran
chise. A similar ordinance is in force in
Oregon City, but the amount of the li
cense fees to be charged has not been
determined and the finance committee
of the city council i3 negotiating with
representatives of the stage line in an
effort to-fix the exact charge.
Mrs. Theresa Grimps, wife of Fran
ce Grimps, Sr., died at the Oregon City
hospital Monday morning at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Grimps underwent a major oper
ation for goitre at the hospital on
Saturday morning. She has been suf
fering for some time and was removed
to the local hospital a few days ago.
Mrs. Grimps was 63 years old, and
a native of Germany. She has resided
in the Hubbard section for the past 30
years, where Grimps owns one of the
best farms of that section.
Deceased is survived by her hus
band and four children, two daughy
ters and two sons.
A historical pageant, drawn from
the events which surround Oregon Ci
ty and the Willamette falls, will be
held here some time during the pres
ent year, as the initial performance to
what is to be made an annual event.
This was definitely decided at a gen
eral meeting held in the Commercial
club rooms last night, when the detail
of the permanent organization wMch
is to handle he pageant, was outlined.
Today, every ciric and social organ
ization in the city is to be visited and
arrangements made for a represent
ative from each body to serve on the
general committee. The plan is to
put one organization in charge of a
division of the pageant production
which is most vital -to its interests.
From the complete committee an ex
ecutive body to direct the financing,
etc., is to be drawn.
Mrs. Adah Losh Rose, nationally
known pageant director and drama
tist, has completed the draft of the
pageant and in a few days the pre
liminary historical work toward the
dramatization of the story of the dist
rict, will be begun. The first pageant,
which wil be held this year, will be
gin with the arrival of Lewis and
Clark at the Willamette River and
trace the course of events to the time
of the election of Governor Abernethy
as the first executive of the state.
The plan for the pageant is ulti
mately to include a presentation of
the rich history of the entire west.
By 1929 the date of the proposed cen
tennial at Oregon City, it is expected
to have it in complete form and scope, ;
after ha'vtng been produced each year
in increasing proportion.
The value of the plan, it was point
ed out. is to be made largely educa
tional, to each the people qf the
state the history of the western coun
try in which they live. The pageant
in a few years is expected to take on
the size of a statewide affair, making
the annual event here one of the fes
tival events of the year.

Fire breaking out about 2 o'clock
Sunday morning from an undetermin
ed cause completely destroyed the
frame barn at 5th and Washington
streets, used as a garage by the Wil
liams Bros, transfer company, with a
property loss of $40,000. The adjacent
house owned by Mrs. Henry Temple
ton, an occupied by Bert Hall and
family, was gutted and almost the en

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henery
Templeton, 2 doors east of the confla
gration, was baaly burned and a loss
of several hundred dollars sustained.
The home of David and Arthur Wil
liams, owners of the truck service, was
damaged by fire and water.
Seiler Is Hurt
During the fire Harry Seiler, cap
tain Of the call team of the department
and a former chief, was severely burn
ed by an electric wire, and for a time
little hopes for his recovery were held.
A. E. Anderson, hoseman on the call
team, was thrown against an iron
fence when the pressure on the line he
was handling twisted the hose, break
ing three ribs, fracturing another, and
receiving serious injuries about hie
head. Seiler, who was handling a hose
on the front of the building, was near
ly overcome by heat and smoke, when,
he was forced back from the flaming
structure, and in an attempt to get
around to another side of the building
he stepped on the arc light circuit
wire, which had snapped and fallen to
the ground. The line carries . 5,000
volts, and the fact that it was ground
ed is said to be responsible for saving
the fireman's life. He was uncon-
loose j scious for over two hours, and had a
large hole burned to the bone in his
leg. Seiler is recovering rapidly.
Electricians Give Aid
Electricians who were present pull
ed Seiler from the wire and had it cut
off at the pole to prevent further in

around, and barely escaped without
several fatalities. In pulling the in
jured man from the grounded wire,

spending some time in pulling people
back from danger. In the ensuing

GOOD JUDGMENT
Some people show good judg

exercise discretion In caring for
their bodily functions, attending
"to the wants of everybody else

Your most precious body func

you preserve this in such a way
that you maintain it unimpaired
all the way through life you can
be sure that you have good judg

to witness he fire was immense, and
almost uncontrollable, the firemen

four year term in the state peniten
tiary. The sentence was imposed by
Judge J. U. Campbell in the -circuit

the Seattle pugilist, he bought a $5
garment, and took change on a $20
check.
Man Is Recognized
Placing a call at the local phone of
fice, he gave the name of Shannon.
The operator happened to know the
real Shannon, and as a result, when
the officers looking for the chek
passer called, she informed them that
the man had been there. As she
went home across the bridge, she
passed Morgan, and on reaching the
othep- side phoned the police. Mor

effort was made by neighbors to pre
vent its use as a stable for the teams

ed by Henry Templeton asking that
the use of the structure as a stable be
enjoined, and the circuit court, with
Judge McBride on the bench, granted
the injunction. The case was appeal
ed to the supreme court and the low
er decision affirmed. Following this
decision, no further attempt to house
horses in the building was made, and
the barn was used- for the storage of
goods and as a garage.
