Baseball Season
At Canbv Is Ended

ball game to be prayed by the local
nine was that of Sunday, when the
Oswego nine came here and defeated
the horns boys. The score was 4 to 0.
There was a large number of root
ers from Oswego, while Canby was
well represented.
Harvesting Prunes
Around Canbv Ends
CANBY, Or., Oct. 4 This w.eek will
wind up the harvesting of the prune
crop in this section. The last to have
been brought in were from Albion
Erickson's place located in Canby.
These were exceptionally fine qual
ity for this time of the year, most
of the prunes being sound and good
for shipping.
The prune crop this year fell short
in the Canby section, while there were
other growers who had most of their
crop on their hands. There was lit
tle demand for this variety of fruit
at the canneries this season, causing
a slack in the market. Owing to th
continued dry weather prunes this
year were smaller than in former
years. "
The weather also caused the Ever
green berry crop to fall short, and
this year's shipment was much less
than that of last year.

BRITISH WILL PAY WAR
DEBTSTATES M'KENNA
NEW YORK. Oct 4. Great Britain
is determining to pay in full her war
debt of more than $4,000,000,000 to
the United State. Reginald McKenna,
former British chancellor of the ex
chequer and a leading authority on
international finance, declared in a
speech here today to the convention
of the American Bankers' association.
Other European nations have bK
able to pay only a parof their detn.
which, with the British obligation, now
total approximately $11,000,000,000, the
Britisher said. For these countries he
urged a definite postponement of any
debt payments.
Germany, he predicted, never will
be able to pay the huge reparations
assessment of S32.OO0.0Q0.00O. At
tempts of any allied powers to force
Germany to pay this amount would
wreck international trade, he urged.
McKenna's statements, although he
said ne was speaking personally, are
regarded as significant in view of the
fact that negotiations to refund the
British debt to the United States are
to be started soon with the American
debt refunding commission.
Fire Department Is
Called To Quench
Two Flue Blazes
A fire alarm was sounded Tuesday
evening, when a small house near
Third and Washington street caught
from a defective flue. The fire com
pany responded to the call, but the
flames had been extinguished by the
occupants of the house and several
neighbors, who gave assistance
A still alarm was turned into the
company on Sunday, when the flue
of the Peerless Bakery burned out.
Owing to the approaching winter,
Fire Chief Priebe asks all to see that
their flues have been thoroughly clean
ed out for in most of the cases, where
the small fires have occurred in this
city, are from flues that have needed
cleaning. He also reuests that roofs
be cleared of leaves, for when sparks
drop in the dry leaves, will endanger
the house.

AID FOR STATE FAIR IS
HELD NEED OF COUNTY
Exhibit, Considering Handicap
Was Excellent, Says Head
Of Farm Bureau Federation.
uiacKamas county is m need of
both more funds and better organiza
tion to take care of the state fair
exhibits, in the opinion of O. R. Daugh
erty, chairman of the executive com
mitter of the county farm bureau.
Daugherty aided in the placing of
the Clackamas county exhibit and
found that in consideration of the
material on hand and the amount of
time allowed, the record made by this
county was a very creditable one.
Clackamas county scored 875 out
of a possible 1100 points. Practically
the entire exhibit was taken from the
county fair. The shortness of the
interveening time between the two
fairs made the moving of the exhibits
to Salem a difficult one and hindered
the proper placing -of them in the
booths.
Daugherty suggests that sufficient
funds be provided to enable a man to
collect the" exhibits over the "county in
ample time for the state fair, point
"ing to the fact that in order to fill
several of the classifications, hurried
trips to farms nearby were made be
fore leaving the county.
The .excellence of the products of
the cougty is demonstrated, Daugherty
points out by the fact that all of the
agricultural exhibits took first place.
Rollins Suddeen scored first on a half
bushel of potatoes. Dave Long scored
first in both cabbages and cauliflower
and Daugherty himself scored three
firsts in tomatoes, his exhibits being
of such fine quality that no seconds
or thirds were awarded in competition
with them. Theodore Reusch scored
first in two classifications of club
work. A number of other high indi
vidual scores were made including a
first in the sweepstakes cattle compe
tition.
Clackamas county, Daugherty be-
ieves, could place an exhibit for $500
to $600 that would rival any in the
state despite the fact that other coun
ties appropriate from $1,000 to $2,000
in many instances.

ELECTRIC STORM BOLT
Harry Bond Home at Meldrum
Damaged; Girl of 3 Sounds
Alarm; Neighbor Gives Aid.
During the terrific electrical storm
on Tuesday evenitfg at 6 o'clock,
bolt of lightening struck the top of
a tree where a radio antenna had been
arranged at the home of Mr. and Mrs,
Harry Bond, of Meldrum. A short
circuit caused from the antenna and
the electric wires crossing set fire
to the Bond home. Mrs. Bond, who
was in a rear room was summoned to
her living room by her three-year-old
daughter, Kosetta, and where she
found the shades and curtains ablaze.
Snatchine the curtains and shades,
she managed to extinguish the flames.
but not until the wall were badl7
damaged.
The home of Mr and Mrs. Mort
Parks close by, also had a narrow eS'
capej, efcid ythe crossed .wires play
havoc in their home
The first man to appear in the
neighborhood after the lightening was
Louis Doolittle, who set to work and
soon had the lighting system in order
by installing new fuses.
This Is the first time that electricity
has struck Meldrum, but a heavy bolt
struck Gladstones park a number of
years ago, shattering several large
trees that were near the big audi
torium. The heavy bolts of lightening of
Tuesday night were experienced
throughout Clackamas county, with
little damages.

COUNCIL CHOSES
CITY HALL SITES
TO GO ON BALLOT
Present Main Street Location
And Caufleld Property At
Corner of Seventh Street
And J. Adams, Selected.
FUND TO PURCHASE
LOCATION PROVIDED
Decision Is Marked by Little
Discussion; Light Interest
In Problem Is Manifested.
The two tentative sites for the pro
posed city hall which will be placed
upon the November 7 ballot, to allow
the people to decide which will be
used for the municipal building, were
picked by the city council Wednesday
night.
The sites, are:
The present city hall property on
Main street, between Eighth and
Seventh streets, adjoining the alley
in the middle of the block. (North 33
feet of lot 6, Block 24.)
The twe half blocks owned by Ray
mond Caufield at the corner of Seven
th and John Adams streets. (East
halves of lots 1 and 2 block 63.)
The former site is owned by the
city at present. The charter amend
ment to locate the city hall on the
Caufield property provides an appro
priation of $5,000 out of the existing
property funds, for the purchase of
the site.
Final Date Set.
Final action upon the ordinances
to place the issues on the ballot is set
for October 14 at a special session.
The discussion over the location
evoked but little interest. Jaded by
the past two years' haggling over the
matter the council became phlegma
tic. F. H. Cross suggested the pur
chase of the old Caufield property,
and after some discussion, Carl Green
suggested the placing of a measure
on the ballot only deciding between
a down town and up hill location and
leaving the actual selection to the
council later. L. A. Henderson favor
ed the picking of definite sites so that
the vote would go to the actual selec
tion and leave no doubt. The discus
sion evolved to general cross table
banter which was stopped when Kras
siag put a motion for the selection of
the Raymond Caufield property, and
the present city hall locations as the
two issues. Seconded by Metzner, the
motion carried and the two necessary
ordinances passed on first reading.
Salaries Slashed.
The salary of two regular firemen
was reduced to the charter rate. Three
months ago, a petition for an increase
was allowed from $110 to $115 but due
to the fact that the charter provided
the former figure as a salary, the ex
tra amount was allowed the regular
men as Ifor call men's services. Coun
cilman Mount drew attention to the
condition, and moved for the refusal
of the extra claim. The motion was
seconded by Jack. After some dis
cussion it was placed to a vote, and
carried by Mount and Jack s vote, as
none of the other councilmen voted.
The economical streak extended to
the refusal to vote $186.46 requested
by the park committee to meet a de
ficit of that amount above the $600
appropriation made by the city for
the auto park.
Bonds Are Sold.
Bonds in the sum of $9,000 were or
dered sold to the Western Bond anii
Mortgage company at par, accured
interest and $164 premium. These
cover improvements -under the Ban
croft bonding act.
The ordinance providing for the sub
mission to the people of the increase
in the fire levy from two to three mills
was passed on final reading.
An ordinance providing for the im
provement of Third street from Cen
ter to Washington by 40 foot maca
dam was passed on first reading.
Three Contracts Booked.
The contracts held, by the Oregon
City and the Gravel company for the
improvement of Division, Harrison
and Fifteenth streets were ordered
revoked and the city engineer instruct
ed to proceed and make the improve
ments, charging any excess to the con
tractor's bondsmen. No work of ma
terial nature has been done on their
improvements, despite promises by the
contractor, councilman Metzner aver
red, and property owners appearing
objected to the fact that the streets
were still impassable.
The much touted jay walking ordin- ,
ance met sorry fate upon its Intro
duction. After a lively discussion
over whether the law to prohibit pe
destrians from cutting corners would
include only Main and Seventh streets
or the whole town, it was killed by
a four to three vote.
