Mayor Philip Streib, of Milwaukie,
will not be a candidate for re-election
November 5. He has served three
years and given much time to the
general improvement of Milwaukie,
about $75,000 in street work- having
been accomplished while he has
been in office, and he says that it is
time some one else should take up
the work. Some criticism of the ad
ministration and the recent adverse
vote on the bond issue 1 and amend
ment to the charter caused the May
or to decide to retire.
E. T. Elmer will probably be nom
inated for Mayor at the citizen's con
vention, which will be - held about
the middle of October. Mr. Elmer is
manager of the Milwaukie Mercantile
Company and he is the only man now
mentioned for the office.
The citizens and Council committee
are working on a charter amendment
for extension of streets and for an
issue of, bonds for establishment of a
municipal water plant. A meeting
was held Thursday night and some
progress made. The amendment will
not be ready to submit at the Novem
ber election, and a special election
may be called several weeks later.
Proceedings of the committee are not
made public at present, but the com
mittee is working under advice of an
attorney and will try to frame a
street extension amendement that
will be approved, and will fix the
amount of water bonds at about $20,-000.

Oregon City day at the Clackamas
County Fair at Canby, was one of the
most successful ever held in, the his
tory, of the County Fair. Several
coaches were added to the regular
Roseburg Local, to accommodate the
crowds which went from Oregon City.
The Oregon City band, led by Arnold
Kohler, furnished music at the fair
as well as on the- train. The concerts
held in the new band stand were lis
tened to by many persons. Crowds
swarmed about V the stock barns,
where judging was going on through
out the day. One of the attractive
exhibits was that of Grant B. Dimick
who; had Poland "China hogs. The
barn erected by Mayor Dimick, was
crowded throughout the day. The
amusements in the "Joy Circle" at
tracted the children, as well as many
of the older persons. The pavilion
in which the vegetables and needle
work were exhibited was also crowd
ed throughout the day.
The grandstand was filled to capac
ity in the afternoon, where a splend
id program was held. The first race
was the 2:20 pace, for a purse of $150
which after a hard struggle was won
by "Dolly Smith" owned by H. D.
Cox.
The second was probably the most
interesting as the horses belonged to
residents of Clackamas County
raced. One . of the favorites
was "Mack," belonging Sheriff
Mass. In the first heat, "Bonnie
H.," owned by C. J. Hood, won by a
length from "Mack," time being 1:30,
one half mile heat. The second heat
"Mack" came under the wire in the
lead with "Bonnie H." second, "Laura
Chella'' third and "Jerry", owned and
driven by A. Bluhm, fourth. The fin
al heat was won by "Bonnie H." who
won the race, with "Mack", driven
by Sheriff Mass, a good second. The
third race was a 5-8 mile dash which
was won by "Anna Phaeon," ridden
by J. Hargreves, "Letricia", Huddle
son' up, second, and "Sallie Good
win," Fred Merrill, up, third. Ed.
Fortune was starter.
