MALHEUR COUNTY
ENJOYS COOLEST
FOURTH IN YEARS
The weather man set a new low rec­
ord for July, when the thermometer de­
scended to a new low mark of 40 degrees
early Tuesday morning here. It was
cold Sunday night and on the Fourth
the thermometer hovered between 70
and 80 most of the day. It was chilly
Monday night and the balance of this
week has seen much cooler weather
than the scorching last two weeks In
June. Vacationists in the mountains re­
ported cold and snow.
DAD HOLMES SAYS
IT’S TIME TO CUT
SUMMER WEEDS
Weed cutting time has again rolled
around. Friday and Saturday "Dad''
Dick Holmes was out with his team and
mower, cutting the stand of weeds dec­
orating each side of the pavement and
the roadways. The weed crop is as large
as usual and if permitted to seed will
result In still greater spread. When the
weeds continue to stand and become
dry during the later summer months,
they form a serious fire hazard.
Mr. and Mrs. Donald M. Graham and
children picnicked at Camp creek over
the Fourth.
Miss Dorothy Cook is conducting sup­
ervised playground for children at the
Methodist church basement. Her sister
Miss Thelma Is assisting. About 20 Uttle
tots attend the school.
Two and one makes three, and a
two-cent stamp and a one-cent
stamp will suffice for one first class
letter under the new postal rate
requirement which goes into effect
Wednesday. July 6, according to
Dtan Smith, postmaster here. The
present one and two cent stamps
will be as good as the new three-
cent stamps which will be issued
by the postoffice department.
The new postal rates affect first
class mall, in which category letters
going out of town fall. There will be
no increase in postage on cards or
parcel post or letters mailed for city
delivery.
There is an increase in the rate
on third class mail which makes
postage on outgoing newspapers a
little higher.

CACHE IN TULES AND ARRESTS
TRANSIENT SUSPECT.
•Nyssa is not without its Sherlock
Holmes. Baldridge Implement company
was robbed of guns, knives, scissors and
a hair clipper Sunday night, of $75
approximate value. Marshal A. V. Cook
has returned the stolen loot and made
one arrest.
Cook discovered the robbery about
2:30 a. m. Sunday morning while pat-
rollng the alley. He found the rear
window of the Baldridge store crashed
in, and the screen removed from a
window of the Nyssa Packing company.
Cook called Wesley Browne, manager
of the Baldridge store, and together
they checked for missing articles. Noth­
ing was found missing In the meat
shop.
Monday J. Boor gave Cook the first
clue, stating that he had observed two
men enter the tules near the railroad
tracks. Cook searched the spot thor­
oughly and found the cache. He also
made another find. Some lime had been
spilled along the tracks and he had
blots of white on his shoes.
In town he found a transient whose
shoes carired the tell-tale marks—and
the stranger's hair was newly clipped.
The man's finger prints have been tak­
en and he Is held in Jail pending the
return of proofs. Unfortunately, his
companion was not with him at the
time of the arrest and he declines to
talk.
Sheriff C W Glenn Is assisting Cook.
Evidently, the thelves intended to en­
ter the peddling business. They took
two 22-calibre rifles, 50 pocket knives,
ranging in value from 50 cents to $2.50,
all the scissors in stock and a few other
articles which would be easy to sell.
The rear ^windows of Baldridge Im­
plement company had not been barred,
or heavily screened, so the burglars had
no difficulty in entering a window
Browne says the windows will be barred
at once.
ENGINEER BANKS
INITIATES BOAT
AT PAYETTE LAKE
The fastest boat at Payette lake
the Fourth was the new speed boat
Black Demon, recently purchased
by Engineer F. A. Banks of Owyhee
Dam. The boat was Initiated over
the Fourth and provided much en­
joyment for the Banks family and
Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Bohlson, who
camped at the lakes over the week
end.
Another party Misses Georgia
and Edna Dennis, Jack McEachern,
Ray Kendler and Wallace Beards­
ley were at the lakes from here and
the highlight of their trip was a
ride In Black Demon.
The latter party returned from
the lakes in time to attend the
dance at Vale the night of the
Fourth. The Banks party also re­
turned Monday evening.
As Nyssa had no festivities the
Fourth other than fireworks for the
youngsters of the town the night of the
Fourth, citizens of this community who
celebrated spent the holidays, at Vale,
Big Bend, Payette lake, Boise or In the
mountains. There was a general exodus
of campers Saturday night.

Dedication of Owyhee Dam at 2
o'clock Sunday, July 17, will signalize
the completion of the $6,000,000 storage
unit for the Owyhee irrigation project
of 123,000 acres. Highest dam in the
world, a beautiful structure locking to­
gether the colorful rock walls of a nat­
ural damslte in Owyhee river canyon,
its christening is expected to attract
many thousands of people. Preparation
for their entertainment is being com­
pleted by the Vale-Owyhee Land Set­
tlement association, the reclamation
and construction company staff.
Special Train Slated
A special train will leave Dunaway,
five miles southwest of Nyssa, on the
Homedale branch of the Oregon Short
Line railroad at 11 a m. Sunday morn­
ing, arriving at the dam at 1 p. m. It
will leave for the return trip two hours
after the dedication ceremony.
The free transportation up the here­
tofore inaccessible Owyhee river can­
yon will be provided by the Union Pac­
ific railroad system which will furnish
coaches and the Oeneral Construction
company, builders of the dam, will sup­
ply the locomotives that for four years
have been hauling sand, gravel, cement
and supplies for the great structure
which is now a monument to their c f-
forsts, to those of the United States
Bureau of Reclamation gnd the people
of the project who will benefit.
Free parking for auomoblles will be
provided at the government plant at
Dunaway, at which point the crowd
is invited to take the excursion train at
11 a. m. On account of narrow roads
and limited parking facilities at Owy­
hee dam, visitors will find the train
route preferable to auto transportation.
Upon reaching the dam, free busses
wil provide transportation to the top of
the dam where the speakers' stand and
amplifiers are located. The Ontario
municipal band will occupy the band­
stand. Unveiling of the bronze tablet
at the end of the dam will be part of
the ceremony.

cation address; Dr. Elwood Mead, com-

hee project; Senator Frederick W.

attend If congress adjounrs before the
celebration.
After the program, the galleries of the
dam will be opened to the public for In­
spection and visitors will find guides to
explain the operation of the control
gates and other features. The 4200 feet
of galleries are served by an electric
elevator, an Innovation In dams. An­
