CANBY AND
IWO PORTLAND WOMEN
A
HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Two Portland women were injured
Sunday morning in a treak accident
which happened on the Wilhoit
Springs road, -about one mile east of
Canby. The injured, Mrs. Ed Mozor
osky. Royal Arms apartments, and
Mrs. Sam Bernstein, 234 Whitaker
street, suffered scalp wounds and
were brought ,to Portland by the Ar
row Ambulance company. Both were
taken to the. Emmanuel hospital for
treatment.
According to information brought
to Portland by other motorists, the
two women, wjth their husbands, were
headed for the springs in a large new
sedan. Without warning the front
wheel suddenly left the axle and roll
ed into a nearby berry patch. The
car was thrown with considerable
force against a bank. The occupants
were badly shaken up and cut by fly
ing glass. "
Large Berry Crop
Sent to Canneries
CANBY, July 18. That Canby has
now become one of the most import
ant shipping points for berries has
been proven this season. 120 tons of
berries have been shipped to the can
nery at Woodburn. Since July 3 to
17th, there have been 86 tons of Lo
gan berries shipped out of this city
through the Oregon Growers" Pack
ing Company, with O. B. Long as local
manager in shipping. The picking is
still continuing in the yards. The
berries shipped so far represent one
half of the output this season. Ap
proximately 90 acres of land in this
section of the county are planted to
Logan berries, and uext season will
see more, for many farmers are con
templating planting larger areas to
this variety of berries. Had not the
hot weather continued the yield would
have been much larger this season, as
many berries perished before they
could be harvested.
Picking of logan berries will con
tinue for at least a week longer, and
then will come the evergreen berries,
when large shipments will be sent
from this section. Among those spe
cializing in the Evergreen berires is
Dr. W. E. Hempstead, of Canby,
whose farm is located near the banks
of the Pudding river. Dr. Hempstead
has these berries arranged in well
cultivated rows and growing on bea
ver dam land. His crop will be large
this year.
Last year the Schmidt Produce
Company of Canby shipped from Can
by 86,113 pounds of Evergreens to the
Graves cannery at Woodburn. The
largest shipment in one week was of
the week of August 26 when there
were 22,929 pounds of berries ship
ped to Woodburn by the produce com
pany. With the crates and boxes
furnished to the growers, the can
nery company paid out $3644.32.
Two Districts Will
Be Left Out Of
Canbv Hisfh School
ml CJ
CANBY, July 18. At a meeting
held in the auditorium of the Canby
high school on Monday evening it
was. decided to omit two districts of
Clackamas county when establishing
the union high school at Canby. The
special election to vote for the union
high school is to be held in July. The
districts to be eliminated from the
list will be Needy and Union Hall.
One of the main reasons to eliminate
the Union Hall district is on account
of road conditions in- winter making
ft impossible for some of the stud
ents to attend- school in this city.
The districts to be included if the
high school proposition wins out will !
be Canby, New Era, Macksburg, Lone
Elder .Mark's Prairie, Central Point,
Mundorf, Union Hill, District No. 91
Oak Lawn and Barlow.
In the election of school director it
will be necessary for each district to
choose a man, and five chosen from
the eleven districts, who will serve
as a school board.
Good Hop Yield Is
Forecast at Canbv
CANBY, July 18. The prospect for
a good hop crop in the vicinity of
Canby is encouraging to most of the
hopmen.. John Smolnisky, owner of
a 10-acre hop yard about four miles

the season, and has secured the ser
vice of J. J. Sandsness, a realty deal
er of Canby, to assist in getting pick
ers. Mr. Smolnisky says his hops

Motor Vehicles Decrease
The year 1921 saw a decrease in the
sale and operation of motor vehicles
in the Philippines, but the first quar
ter of 1922, according to dealers,
shows some improvement, says Dis
trict Office Manager, Logan, Manila,
reporting to' the Department of Com'.
merce. There were 1.865 new motor
vehicles registered 'and 11,476 re
registered during 1921, making a to
tal of 13.341 as compared to 13,493
during the previous year, a net reduc
tion of 152 vehicles.
A considerable number of motor ve
hicles were out of operation due to
the high price of motor fuel, high
wages of drivers, heavy charges for
repair work, and the bad condition of
the streets and highways on account
of the government's retrenchment
policy. Road maintenance is now ce
ceiving greater attention in the cities
and provinces.
There are approximately 6,000 miles
of roads in the Philippines, about 4,
000 miles being of first or second
class construction adn suitable for
motor traffic. "At the clase of 1921,
there were 16,859 licensed drivers of
motor vehicles in the Philippines.
Engineering Lockout Settled
Advices received at the Department
of Commerce would indicate that a
considerable amount of business will
be lost for this season by, the British
motor industry because of the eleven
week engineering lockout which end
ed in June by the acceptance of the
employer's proposals by the various
labor unions. Manufacturers state
that many prospective purchasers
have withheld their orders for the
year and that other large orders have
gone to makers in the United States,
Italy, and Germany. Certain makers
are well stocked with chasses. The
Rolls-Royce and several other large
plants were forced to shut down in
early May. A few non-federated firms
turned out more cars duriing the lock
out than ever before in their history.
America Leads in Imports
The United States furnished 5,600
of the 7,283 passenger cars and trucks
imported into Denmark during 1921,
according to information received
from Consul General Marion Letcher,
Copenhagen.
New Luxury Tax on Vehicles
Acting "Commercial Attache S. H.
Cross, Brussels, writes that a luxury
tax in the form of a 5 per cent stamp
tax on the retail price of all motor (
vehicles, except those used exclusive
ly for professional or commercial pur
poses, has recently gone into effect
in Belgium. Demonstration cars
bought by dealers are subject to this J
tax. Accesories are also taxed and
repairs are taxed insofar as the value
of parts used.
Car Service in Victoria
The railway authorities in the State
of Victoria are about to use railway
motor cars for the convenience of
the traveling public, having in, mind
the low cost of such service, says a
report from Consul General Sammons,
Melbourne. The first car is a 5-ton
motor truck chassis built by the A.
V.. f!. Co. of England, which has been
built over to carry 43 passengers and
haul a trailer with capacity for 12
passenger and 2 tons of freight at a
speed of 25 miles per hour.
American Cars in Siam
The number of passenger cars in
Slam in 1921 reached the total of 1,
rDO, sixty per cent of which are of
American make, according to advices
received at the Department of Com
merce from Consul Davis, BaEgkok.
Seventy-five per cent of the 150 trucks
r.nd 20 per cent of the 450 motorcycles
are from the Umtad States. These
figures are based cn actual registra
tion in Bangkok and careful estimates
outside of that city.
AmeHcan Cars Dominate
Most of the motor vehicles in the
Straits Settlements and other British
Malaya are used inte cities, very few
being owned and operated in the out
lvinz districts. Vice Consul Black-
ard, Singapore reports that the ma
jority of the cars and trucks ara of
American make. There are 6090 pass
enger cars, 339 trucks and 1,502 mo
torcycles in the Straits Settlements.
In the Federated and non-Federated
Malay "Sfates combined, there are 3.
475 passenger cars, 33 trucks and 1,
045 motorcycles. The latter figures
cover only the larger and more popu
lated states, but motor vehicles in
other states than these given are
practically negligible.
Road Construction in Panama
Snmethinsr over S1.000.000 has al
ready been expended on hard surface
road construction in the Republic of
Panama and more than $3,500,000 is
still available for continuation of the
work, according to a recent report of
the Chief Engineer of Roads. The
work is proceeding under two con
tracts, at the rate of $235,000 per
month, and 63 kilometers have al
ready been completed while prelimi
nary work has been finished on 63.5
kilometers, says Consul Orr, Panama;
in a report to the Automotive Divis
ion of the Department of Commerce.
No Motor Trucks Imported
. Motor trucks are not being import
ed into Czechoslovakia at the present
time, according to a report to the Au
tomotive Division of the Department
of Commerce b Consul Winans,- on
account of the low value of that
countrys currency and the high"" im
port duty amounting to J5 per cent
ad valorem, and a 2 per cent turnover
tax. Motor trucks of local manufac
ture having a capacity of 2 to 3
tons are selling for about 11,000
Czechoslovak crowns (about $2,000 U.
S. Currency). Motor equipment, how
ever, is being imported from Ger
many and Italy, whose rates of ex
change permit the purchase of goods
In Czechoslovakia.
Alcohol a Motor Fuel
Consul General A. Ganlin, Rio-de
Janeiro, reports to the Automotive Di
vision or the Department of Com
merce that an alcohol mixture can
be used successfully as a motor fuel
and at a lower cost than gasoline,
according to tests recently completed
by the Saciedad Nacional de Agricul
tura, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
. The experiments were made with
two Zenz cars, weighing 2,150 kilos
each, over a distance of 45.1 " kilo- j
meters, and In comparison with a light 1
, American car weighing 830 kilos, U3
j ing gasoline. .
I The first car received 20 litters of
a mixture composed of 65 parts of
alcohol (95 degrees), 25 parts of
ether, 9.5 parts of kerosene, and 0.5
parts of pyridine. The second car re
ceived the same amount of a mixture
composed of 83 parts of alcohol (95
degrees), 10 parts of ether, 5 parts
of kerosene, and 2 parts of pyridine.
The first first car made an easy
start and an easy run; the second had
difficulty in starting, and the motor
ran smoothly only at the end of the
trip. The consumption of the first
car was 98.5 cubic centimeters of the
alcoholic mixture per kilometric ton;
that of the second, 129 cubic centi
meters. The light American car con
sumed 126 cubic centimeters of gaso
line per kilometric ton for the same
distance.
The selling price of alcohol at the
Campos sugar mills in Brazil is about
275 reis per litter (about $0.27 per
gallon at the average 1921 exchange
rate of $0,125 per milreis), while the
price of gasoline is 750 reis (about
$0.75 per gallon).

STATE FIRE MEW
TO INVESTIGATE
5THSTREETBLAZE
Marshal's Office Is Expected
To Probe Cause of Latest
Loss Here; Incendiarism
Is Hinted by Local Police.
EFFORT TO ESTABLISH
BLAME PROVES FUTILE
Burning of Clackamas. Auto
Company Is Still Subject of
Quiz; Church Fire Puzzles.
Officials of the state fire marshal's
office are expected in Oregon City,
within a week to investigate the cause
of the fire which early Tuesday morn
ing destroyed a quarter block at Fifth
and Main streets with a loss of more
than $50,000.
Local fire and police officers have
hinted that an investigation might re
veal the fact that the blaze was of in
cendiary origin, but the evidence
which they possess they declare is as
yet insufficient to warrant an arrest,
being based wholly on developments
of a suspicious nature.
The burning of the Fifth street cor
ner is the fifth suspicious fire which
has happened here since March 24.
On that date the Clackamas County
Auto Company at 11th and Main burn
ed with a . $200,000 loss, one of the
heaviest fires in the state during that
month. The cause has been a com
plete mystery and the investigation
has been hindered by the complete
ness with which the structure was
razed, but the matter has for some
time been in the hands of the state
fire marshal's office.
Three other fires of a suspicious na
ture happened subsequently. An at
tempt to burn the Barclay school was
made, and a simiilar attempt aganst
the Presbyterian church. Both -of
these fires without a doubt were,
"set," the firemen declare, but as yet
no attempt to fix the blame has been
completed successfully.
Mystery also surrounds the burning
of the Williams Brothers barn at Fifth
and Washington streets about a
month ago. The fires, it is pointed
out, have appeared with no consisten
cy, save that all have been about 2
o'clock in the morning, with the ex
ception of the Busch building fire,
which occurred at midnight.
