Year ........................ $150 Subscrpitlon, 8 Months .....................75c Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, O regon, as Second Class Matter OUR SHORT CUT ROAD TO MARKETS Portland wants another short cut road to the sea al though several splendid arteries provide a drive of little more than one hundred miles to coast resorts. It seems there is federal money in the pot which is destined for one or more additional Oregon highways. Salem looks with favor upon the development of Will amette valley feeders and through roads. In southern Ore gon, the plea is straightening and reconstruction o f the Pacific highway. Pendleton and John Day have joined hands in the promotion of the north and south link which would connect with the Yellowstone Cut-off highway. We would suggest that the highway commission drive over the I. O. N., the road that would provide a short cut to markets, before appropriations are made. If there is money to spend, why not build a road that is needed by men and women who are tilling the soil to earn their daily bread. Why not help those who are denied railroad and highway. Such an investment would reap benefits twofold. The work would give employment to men and would provide a needed outlet for a deserving portion of Malheur county. Nor is the Jordan Valley country a small portion— in area or in population. Hundreds of people would benefit by construction of the I. O. N. This end o f the county would reap far more benefits than is sometimes conceded. Not a short cut to the sea but a short cut to markets is our plea.

Voice of the Press THE COMING CONVENTION One o f the great big events in Oregon this year is the national convention of the American Legion. From across the continent, from the south and north the buddies will come. Many o f them will see the Oregon country for the first time and many o f them will pass through Nyssa, an eastern gateway into the convention state. We wish to make a good impression on the Legionaires from all parts of the United States. Could we find a better plan than that devised by the Vale-Owyhee Land Settle ment association which has suggested a tasty cantaloupe, a mealy potato or an appetizing ham? Delicious foods will advertise Malheur county and perhaps a few of the boys will tarry to see the fields of the greatest crop producing county in Oregon. We can show them the results of sunshine, soil and water. We can show them the world’s newest and highest irrigation dam at Owyhee. Legionaires will find us carrying on and full of cheer. Why not? When you stop to think o f it, conditions today are abundance and plenty. Blessed Mother Nature is flood ing forth her bounties of the harvest season, her fruits, her grain, her glorious and inexhaustible crops. Cheering tidings these— so, Cheerio!
