Canby Streets Are .
Lighted Again After
Year's Rate Battle
CANBY, Nov. 7. For the first time
in a 'year the Canby streets were
lighted by electricity on Friday, when
the 36 lights that have been "dead"
in this city were turned on.
Owing to the advanced rates of the
Molalla Electric company, which sup
plied the city of Canby with elec
tricity, the lights were discontinued
in August, 1921. The rates at that
time went from 75 cents a light to
$1.50. The council refused to pay,.and
decided to do away with the lights
until a satisfactory agreement could
be made.
At a recent meeting of the Canby
city council plans were perfected to
connect the city with the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company,
when F. G. Robinson, owner of the
plant, refused to consider a proposi
tion offered by the people of Canby.
Later Robinson agreed to recon
sider the sale of the Molalla Electric
company. A committee, composed of
C. H. Sheldon, W. H. Bair and M. J.
Lee, has proposed to purchase the
plant, looking at the financial side ef
the electric light proposition, which
has been of interest to the general
public, when not only people of this
city but surrounding country were
affected.
It was propose at oue time to erect
a plant for the city of Canby, but the
cost would amount to several thous
and dollars more than what the Mo
lalla plant could have been purchased
for. This" idea was abandoned some
tiem ago.
At a meeting &f the city council
held Monday evening the electric
light subject ocupied several hours'
discussion.

interest of the Tompkins-Hawley-Ful-ler
company. This company has just
won a $30,000 law suit in ePnnsyl
vania. The cause of the suit was the
enfringement upon a patented device;
used in the manufacturing of light
weight paper and tissue paper, the in
vention made by Fuller. As a nam-?
ber of the Eastern mills are using the
device without authority of the Tomp-
kins-Hawley-Fuller company. The

LIVE WIRE COMMITTEE
WILL AID CHILD HOME
That the securing of the Yeomen's
Children home in Clackamas county,
representing an investment of ul
timately over $10,000,000, is dependent
upon the effort put forth by the com
munity and the civic organizations
here, was the statement of H. Ezell,
state manager of the Yeomen, who
spoke at the meeting of the Live
Wires of the Oregon City Commercial
club.
Oregon, Ezell stated, has all of the
advantages needed for the site where
the school is to be established; low
infant mortality rate, mild climate,
and the natural advantages of good
soil and fine scenery.
A site five miles south of Oregon
I City has been selected as one of
three to be advocated in Oregon,
Ezell said. The local site is said to
present the most ideal location yet
found.
"The idea of the children's home,"
said Ezell, "originated in the mind of
Mark T. McKee, one of the Yeomen
officials. He saw the need for a home
to care for the children of Yeomen
whose parents had passed from this
life. A fund of $4,000,000 Is at present
available and the plan is to make a
wonderful village, with all the beaut7
and wealth of environment that can
be created, to make out of these un
fortunate children future citizens of
which the nation can be proud.
"The plan of the home," the speakei
continued, "will include agricultura'
land, shops, schools, stores, banks
and : numerous little cottages, scat
tered among the groves, rather than
dormitories of an 'Institutional' de
sign. In charge of each cottage will
be a man and woman foster parents,
practically, of the children, to replace
as nearly as possible the parental
care and love which has been taken
from them.
"It is our plan to create the most
beautiful village that can be con
structed, which can be a model to the
entire world. The home will be of
national scope, taking care of the
Yeomen children from over the entire
country.!-
A committee, J. E. Hedges, W. P.
Hawley, W. T. Wright, John Hum-
phrys, F. J. Tooze and H. E. Hoss, was
appointed to co-operate with Ezell lh
the presenting to the board of direc
tors the details concerning the local
site. The Women's club, Pomona
grange and other organizations are
to be asked to aid.
