A big lot of 25c Straw Hats going at 10c at Spiers. As usual, when any event of real importance is heralded, Nyssa immediately gets busy and so far outdoes the efforts of the rest of Malheur county that the contest centers itself entirely upon the products of this community. No sooner had the announce ment appeared for a better babies contest than Nyssa began to stir around. Babies began to arrive, not singly, but in pairs. In three days, from the 6th to the 9tb of August, the vital statistics of this town recorded six births aud no deaths. Two a day, just for a starter; two pairs af twins and two singly. And there is nearly a month left before the show is staged. And such babies! Who con]d possibly ask for better? Bouncing, lusty, red-cheeked Nyssa infants, who will grow into upright men and women, whose later efforts wil] place this country far ahead of rivals in the products that count. Here are the happy parents: Mr. and Mrs. John F. Smith. re- rently of Caldwell, now residing near the bridge; twins, both girls. Born Angnst 6th. Mr. and Mrs. Merle Cheeley: twins, a boy and a girl.

Kingman Kolong people are anxious to have such a mode of transporta tion provided for them and have promised their support. Mr. Cheeley states it would be possi ble for him to cut the cost of milk hauling from remote places right in two, and believes it would also help to encourage farmers in dairying at points where freight ing now make it prohibitive. ---------------------- -------------------------- — Bad Fire at Weiser.

For the third time in as many months the ill fated corner at the conjunction of Idaho and First streets east was in flames and this time such headway had been gained before the water could be turned on that the thr.*e frame buildings were burned to the jround. The Van Graven build- ng occupied by N. J. Sheffield, the Salvation army building occu pied by Chris. Luck and tho Vial iuilding occupied by E. L. Oakes were the three to go. -W eiser Sig nal.

Councilman Misrepresented At the regular meeting of tho Common Council of Nyssa, Ore gon. held Aug. 3rd. the Council passed an Ordinance authorizing the Common Council to loan the Alfalfa Cheddar Choese Company #1130.00. In making the report for the printer I inadvertently said “ passed by the Common Council by ‘ unanimous vote and consent," when I should have said, “ Passed by the Common Council by ¿‘ majority’ vote and consent” .. I regret this error and assume entire responsibility for it, as it misrepresents Councilm in Spier, who has steadfastly voted against the proposition at every reading. B. F. Farmer, Recorder.
