1A&E SIX THE MALHEUR ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1917. RED CROSS TO ELECT Continued from' page 1.) meeting. . ( The membership of many of the Chapters has become so large that the mailing of individual notices of the Annual Meeting would be costly and burdensome, and the Central Commit tee advises that such meetings may properly be called by publication of notice or notices in the newspapers. A simple form of by-laws is in pre paration and will shoruy be sent you for your consideration. In the inter est of uniformity in Chapter govern ment, it is requested that this form be adopted, or that existing by-luws be amended in substantial conformity thereto. The annual meeting of the Ameri can Red Cross in Washington will be held on December 12th. It will be con fined strictly to the transaction of formal business, which probably will consist of tho election by the General Board (of which Chapter delegates are members) of two members of the Central Committeo whose terms ex pire this year, and of tho considcra tion of amendments to the by-laws of the National Society to cover the re alignment of the organization for war time activities. The two members of tho Central Committee elected by the General Board whoso tcrrris expire this year are Hon. Franklin K. Lane and Mr. John M. Glenn. The Central Committee is consider ing a new rule for Chapter represent ation to cover tho increase in tho num ber and size of Chapters. When this rule is adopted ,it will bo sent to each Chapter with the formal notice of the Annual Meeting of the National So ciety. Ample time will be given Chap ters to designate Chapter delegates to this meeting. Group Conferences to be Held. Instead of attempting to have a general conference nt Washington, there will be group conferences in tho various parts of the United States to which Chapters will be invited to send delegations. The several Division Managers will have charge of tho ar rangements for these conferences. It is hoped that thoy will be held within tho next ninety days and that they will belargely attended. There never was a time when more weighty or more perplexing questions have engaged tho attention of tho Red Cross, nnd full discussion of them with a freo exchange of views, such as may bo had in group conferences, should bo both interesting and valuable. of Malheur county near the junction of the Owyhee nnd Snake rivers, at the point where the Oregon Short Line cnttrs the stnte of Oregon. The location of the city is very pic tuesquc, surrounded ns it is by the largest farming community in Mal heur county. The lanti surrounding Nyssa is very adaptable to fruit rais ing, immense orchards being seen on every hand, whose proiruct is packed and shipped from here. A plentiful supply of water for do mestic purposes is supplied the city by its municipal plant. The Rocky Mountain Bell company built into Nyssa shortly after com pleting its plants at Ontario in 1000, and an independent company organiz ed and built an excange here in 1909. However, both plants were purchased by tho Malheur Home company, the former in 1908 and the latter in 1912, at which time they were merged into one. Nyssa now has a modern mag neto exchange of 115 stations. Nyssa has a fine, even climate, which, with its growing industries and vast resources, is attracting the horns seeker. This explains the" steaJy growth it now has and will have. OWYHEE $0 SCHOOL IMPROVED Owyhee Tcachccs Plan for Big Year ' Rain Causes Shrinkage in Hay Sticks.

OXMAN IS FREE TELEPHONE HISTORY (Continued from page 1) near tho junction of the Malheur and Snake rivers, was established in 1884 when tho Oregon Short Lino construct ed its road into this city. It at once became a shipping point as well as n supply center for a vast territory. It grow very slowly until about 1900, when irrigation projects opened tho fertile land which surrounded it to cul tivation, and it now is a very modern, up-to-dato city of 2,400 people. Until about 1900 Ontario was with out a telephone exchange, ono toll sta tion only connecting it with the out side world. At that time the Rocky Mountain Bell company extended its linos hero and established an exchuuge and later, in 1907, an independent company was organized, connecting with other independents in this terri tory. A year later tho Malheur Homo company purchased both of these ox changes, which it still operates. Ontario is now tho main office of the Malheur company and now has a mod ern central energy oxcriangu of 400 stations. Nyssa Nyssa a Greek name for a species of native trees and shrubbery of Greece is in the northeastern corner Suspicious Circumstances Attached to Basis for Warrant Proclaimed by Judge Case is Ended. The charge that Frank C. Oxmaii, the Durkee, Ore, cattle man, perjur ed hjs testimony against Thomas J. Mooney, convicted of murder, follow ing the bomb explosion at San Fran cisco, wns dismissed Wednesday bj Superior Judgo Griffin. Attorneys for the bomb case defendants announced after the dismissal of action that they would bring no further proceedings against Oxman. Judge Griffin from tho bench announced that he discov ered tho contention of Mooncy's at torneys in asking for a warrant was based only on suspicious circumstanc es. This ends the long i-rawn out at tempt to convict the Oregon man. The many friends and relatives of Mr. O:: mnn in this country are pleased to learn that he has won out and estab lished his innocence. OWYHEE, Oreg., Oct. 3. School opened September 24. Both teachers, Mrs. Thompson and Miss Curtis, were retained from last year and are pre paring to do better work than ever before. Last year the two teachers taught in the same room but this year the board saw fit to make two rooms out of the one old one This com munity is too progressive to waste time and money on the old building and although we feel the need of a new building we are not yet ready to erect a building like we want. So we are using a canvas partition. This serves the purpose very nicely and can be rolled up easily when one large room is needed. Owyhee is dreaming of the time, and believes that the day is not far off when this district and the neighboring ones will form a commun ity school. The advanced division is taking up drawing as outlined in the Course of Study and expects to take up modeling in clay if suitable dobe can be found, while the lower grades will have a sand tabic installed and take up the club work for junior sew ing club. Mrs. Thompson is planning to organize a Junior Red Cross. It is also hoped that the hot lunch system can be installed before cold weather comes on. A number of the children made fine showings and carried off a number of the prizes at our county fair. One young lady, Eugenie Pratt, went to the State Fair for club work. This is Owyhee's third representative to take this trip. Those who received prizes are: Eugenie Pratt, blue rib bon on sewing project, best machine made dress, best machine made apron, three best specimens of darning, and red ribbon on pencil sketch; Harry Pratt, blue ribbon on bird house; I Maude Clarke, blue ribbon on dress; Neata Bigelow, red ribbon on canned fruit; Ruby Bradley, blue ribbon on lamb; Margaret Share, blue ribbon on baking project; Thelma Newbill, red ribbon for baking project; Jesse Tho mason, blue ribbon on pig.

Most of the farmers have finished threshing and are preparing to cut the third crop of hay. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Rust died Sunday of cholera infantum after a very short illness. Interment was made Wednesday at Ontario. Many of trie rriqnds of the bereaved parents attended tho fune ral services and many more extend their sympathy to tliem in their houi of sorrow. D. P.

Several farmers rcpoi; :icavy losses. A few, however, were fortunate enough to have their :.ay measured before the rains. E. Thompson, of Beulah, was in town the past week, attending to bus iness before the County Court. Mr. Thompson is a prosperous farmer of Malheur county, and Is known to put up over five hundred tons of hay per annum. In the course of a conversation with County Judge McKnight, regarding the war and the duty of the citizens of the country, and upon being com plimented by Judge McKnight for hav ing contributed $100 to tho Red Cross War fund, Mr. Thompson said, "I do not look upon that as a contribution or donation. It appears to me to be a duty to do everything we can to sup port the young men who have gone to tho front to perscrve our lives, lib erty and property. "We stay at home following our us ual business affairs, and profit by the high prices, and the least we can do is to support, the best wo can, those who are risking their lives thnt our property may be protected and our liberty preserved. That is a debt we all owe; and I am ready at all times to do what I can to help tho Red Cross." Business Mct-ting.
