MAN IS BADLY INJURED
. IN ACCIDENT AT CANBY
CANBY, Aug. 15 William McMil
lan, of Tacoma, Wash., while walking
south along the highway at Barlow
this afternoon, was struck by an auto
mobile bearing a Minneapolis number.
He sustained painful bruises and pos
sible fracture of a leg. The driver of
the car was N. B. Houck, who was on
his way to California.- As his car
reached a side road the 13-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Nelson,
on a bicycle, rode into the highway
opposite McMillan, and his son, John,
who were walking to Los Angeles. In
order to save the girl from being
struck the driver turned his car to
the opposite side of the road. He
struck ' McMillan and threw him into
a ditch. The driver imediately gave
assistance to the injured man and he
was brought to Canby and taken to ,
the offices of Dr. H. A. Dedan and Dr.
W. E. Hempstead, where bis injuries
were attended, but it will be some
time before the man will be able to
proceed on his way to Los Angeles,
where he is to visit is brother, Jack
McMillan. The remainder of McMil-
lan's family are in lacoma.
The accident occurred in front of
the Berg heme, formerly owned by the
late William Barlow, the highway re
cently being completed near that
place. Had not the driver of the Min
neapolis car turned in order to prevent
striking the girl, she would no doubt
have been killed. She failed to see
the automobile coming in her direc-

- Wagon by Spirited
Horses in Runaway
CANBY, Aug. 16. Mr. and Mrs. Al
vin PheJos and three children had a
narrow escape with their lives Sunday
while driving to Hubbard, where they

ing to extricate the animal, was
thrown to the pavement under the
feet of the frightened animals.

but was thrown from the wagdn as
the horses started to run away. Mr.
Phelps held to the horses and was
dragged considerable distance on the
highway before he was able to check
them and bring them to a stop. The

SURVEYS BEGUN
ON ROAD PROGRAM
FOR COMING YEAR
Comprehensive Improvement
In 1923 Projected; Opening
. Of New Territory Will Be
Possible, Is Expectation.
ROUTE TO BE PAVED
TO YAMHILL COUNTY
Oswego-Wilsonville Highway
To Be One of Major Lines
for Combined Expenditure.
Work on the outlining of the tenta
tive road program in Clackamas coun
ty for 1923 is under way in the office
of the county surveyor, and activities
on the various surveys have com
menced, following the final awarding
of the contracts for the highways
which are being constructed under
the 1922 plans. The work next year,
according to D. T. Meldrum, county
engineer, will include as comprehens
ive extension of the present contratc
ed roads as is possible with the funds
which will be on hand, and the pro
gram will include the opening up of
some territory in the county hitherto
dependent upon seasonal roads.
Grading Nearly Complete
One of the major projects which is
being considered by the engineering
department is Market road number
12, known as the Oswego-Wilsonville.
road. Grading of 9960 feet from the
end of the Oswego bridge is now un
der contract and will be completed
within another week. The survey has
been completed as far. as the Athey
bridge, while the grade between Tual
atin and Meadowbrook to Stafford is
finished. The plan for next year is
to continue the construction ff the
road from Stafford to Wilsonville. The
total distance will be about ' eight
miles, five of which is new construc
tion. The completion of this road, Mr.
Meldrum points out, will open up one
of the richest farming countries in
the county. It will also give a com
plete west side route connecting with
Market road six, to the county line
and thence into Portland via New
berg. Survey Section Finished
The survey-between Willamette and
Teideman Hill is also completed on
this line. Next year, in all probabil
ity, Mr. Meldrum states, arrange
ments will be made for -the paving of
the three mile portion which will
have been graded and the arrange
ment for the grading of the remain
der, much of which, is, entirely new
road. One of the biggest obstacles to
be overcome is the crossing of Hayes
Hill, which presents a difficult prob
lem in the laying of an even grade.
The grade is expected to reach a max
imum of seven per cent. The road bed
is 24 feet, and the pavement will be
of the standard foot width.
The road districts' in fliat vicinity,
Mr. Meldrum points out, have indicat
ed their willingness to levy special
taxes for the laying of the base, and
the county is to meet these approp
riations on a 50-50 basis in addition
to whatever funds from the market
ro'ad appropriations will be needed.
The pavement will be laid through the
use of the bond funds, it is expected.
Damascus Road Surveyed
Another improvement which is pro
jected is the continuation of the Rock
Creek Bridge and Mount Hood Loop
road. This highway, extending from
Clackamas out toward Damascus and
Boring, is paved to Rock Creek, about
three miles past Clackamas. The sur
vey for the continuation of the pave
ment to Boring is to be made in the j
Market road 28 is being completed i
m units ana tne survey is nuw com-
pleted as far as Baker's bridge, on
the Springwater unit. The road
known as the Damascus and Foster
road, is to connect with the Multno
mah county line at Sycamour.
The completion of the survey of
the Monitor-Barlow road, number 9,
is under way, and the Marquam-Canby
road, number 10, will be placed under
survey late in the fall, Mr. Meldrum
expects.
Molalla Road to be Extended
The continuation of Market road
22, Oregon City to Molalla, is expect
ed next year. The survey from the
end of the present paving contract a
half a mile from the city limits has
been completed as far as Beavei'
Creek. The remainder of the survey
to Monitor is to be made early in the
spring. .
The grading and laying of crushed
rock on the Borland road, market
road four, has been completed with
the exception of half a mile. Work
is ready to be started on the South
End road and the Hardscrabble road.
Construction on Molalla avenue is
under way.
The amount of money that will be
available next year on the road work
in this county cannot be estimated,
Mr. Meldrum states, but it is expected
that it will be approximately the same
as during '1922. The market roat
fund this year aounted to upwards
of $100,000 and a $153,950 bond issue
provided for much of the pavement
which was contracted.
Pavement Is Standard
The pavement which is being laid
in the county, the engineer states, is
Of practically the same specification
as that which is being placed on the
state highways. The same restrictions
governing grades and curves are be
ing used, the only difference -being
that instead of the wider pavement,
the county contracts are for 16 foot
construction.
The experiment of laying a narrow
pavement along side of a macadam
road has proved satisfactory in the 1
Monitor district, Mr. Meldrum states, j
but the pavement will not be general-
ly adopted as specification because it
is applicable only to those 'districts
where there is little traffic. The
standard roadbed for znacdam in the
counts varies from 24 to 30 feet, de
pending upon the type or country
through which the road is being laid.
LOCAL BRIEFS

Communities; Funds to Be
Raised By Endowment.
Establishment here of tne projected
Children's Home of the Brotherhood
of American Yoemen is being consid
ered and Oregon City investigated as
one of the three possible locations for
the benevolent institution, according
to J. H. Ezell, state manager of ' the
fraternal organization, who was here
yesterday.
Ezell came to Oregon City from his
headquarters in Salem to confer with
the local Commercial club officials
relative to a location here. Invest
ment of $1,000,000 or more, it is indi
cated, will be wherever the home is

J. E. Hedges of the local Commercial
club and that organization will take
up the work of investigating the "pos
sibilities for securing the construction
of the home here.
One of the requirements is that the
the place must be within an hour of
Portland. This, it is said, will throw
its location either to Oregon City or
in Washington. McMinnville and sev
eral other cities in the state, it is un

the home.
The Children's home, it is explained
by the state manager, is to ije built
with an endowment fund subscribed
by the brotherhood.

Some 1200 acres of rolling coun
try will be required, embracing facil
ities for establishment of a cottage
housing system, recreation parks.
shops, little farms, schools, stores, li-
; braries and banks. The school which
according to Ezell, will be dedicated
to the education and upbuilding ot
the younger generation who need that
care, is to be the forerunner of a home
for the aged and infirm, which the
brotherhood is already considering
the establishment of.
The securing of a suitable site in
this vicinity is to be one of the first
matters undertaken. With this as a
basis the investigation of the other
details in connection with the con
struction of the -cottage home is to)
follow.
