AUTO EXAMS HERE MAY 25 C. M. Bentley, examiner for drivers’ licenses, was probably the busiest man in Nyssa last Thursday when numerous motorists called at the city hall to take the test. He recommended more study to many, advising that instruction booklets would be supplied the city hall and Journal office. "After a study of the manual, the applicant should be able to complete the written quiz and visual acuity test in 20 minutes,’’ Bentley stated. Prior to June 9, the fee for driver's license is 50 cents and $1 after that date. Motorists must have their lic­ enses renewed if they were issued Be­ fore July 1, 1931. Mr Bentley will return to Nyssa May 25th. P ail Ryan, 4, says he Is throogh with automobiles and women. His father left his car parked near the home, so Paul decided to take Rose Marls Oieg- er, for a ride. Taro minutes later they crashed into another parked car down the block. The pair escaped with brute- FISHERMAN LANDS 340-POUND FISH; SETLINE IS LEGAL To Ralph Englehom of Arena Valley goes the honor of hooking the biggest fish of the season to date, a 340-pound sturgeon pulled from the waters of Snake river. The big fish was nine feet, 3 inches in length. Englehom was fishing from a boat. "If I hadn’t shot him, he’d have taken me and my boat clear to the Columbia river,’’ said Englehom. “We surely started that way in a big hurry.” Malheur county sportsmen, who yearn to catch a sturgeon, will be allowed to use the setline as they do on the Idaho side of the river as the last legislature legalized the setline in Oregon. Pud Long caught the biggest fish in Nyssa last season. Who will be the lucky nimrod for 1933?

The inflation rider, fully approv­ ed by Congress, will allow the President to expand the currency and credit and alter the gold backing of the dollar. Senate and house conferees will meet today in an effort to agree upon amendments, including the disputed proposal for permitting Secretary Wal­ lace to proclaim a minimum price to be paid for farm products. An amendment authorizing the Re­ construction Finance corporation to loan the reclamation bureau $5,000,000 for construction work on the Owyhee, Vole and other projects, is a rider to the farm, bill. Frank T. Morgan, secre­ tary of the Owyhee district, stated to­ day that he is confident the loan amendment will be approved by the house. It has been approved by the senate. On the heels of the inflation bill came another advance in commodity prices today. Hogs advanced 10 cents a hundred, butterfat 2 cents per pound. Police Officer Ted Chambers arrest­ ed a man and woman who gave their names as Jack Vershclla and Anna Carico of Tacoma near Dixie Tuesday, after receiving a tip th at they had stol­ en cars in Jerome, Ida., and later in Ontario.

STEPHENS BABY DROWNS IN CANAL LITTLE MARCIA STEPHENS DROWNS AT PRICE, UTAH; FUN­ ERAL SERVICES ARE HELD HERE Nyssa friends were grieved Friday to hear of the death of little Marcia Step- ens, aged 3, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Stephens, who was drowned In a canal at Price, Utah, last Thurs­ day afternoon. Funeral services for the little girl were held it^ the Methodist community church Sunday afternoon with the Rev. Floyd E. White in charge. Mrs. Ray Kendler and Kermit Lienkaemper sang, accompanied by Mrs. C. C. Hunt. Pall bearers were Thelma Cook, Ethel Mary Boydell, Harriet Sarazin and Olive Hunter. Floral offerings were very beautiful and a very large crowd attended the services. Interment was In the Ontario cemetery by the Nyssa Funeral Home. Mrs. Stephens missed her little daughter last Thursday afternoon, first believing she had gene to some neigh­ bor's home. A search failed to find her and passing hours brought the fear that she had fallen into the canal un­ observed. Her body was recovered from the canal in the early morning. Mrs. Stephens Is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thompson of Nyssa. Marcia was bom In February 1930, in Nampa where her parents re­ sided until Mr. Stephens was transfer­ red to Price, Utah, by the Pacific Pro­ duce company. MAGOFFIN BRINGS E TO COMPLETION 3-YEAR TUNNEL JOB ON OWYHEE IS FINISHED WITHOUT COSTLY MISHAP; CLEANING U P R E ­ MAINS. Without a fatality or serious Injury, the most hazardous and the longest tunnel Job on the Owyhee Irrigation project was completed Tuesday even­ ing by S. 8. Magoffin company of Van­ couver, B. C„ after three years work. Magoffin built the lower half of Tun­ nel No. 5, 4 >4 miles long, which will carry gravity water to the large acre­ age of land under the Oem unit in Idaho. Considered one of the most hazard­ ous tunnels ever built, the Magoffin sector passed through a strata of water bearing sand 6700 feet, over a mile, in length. This section was lined with steel plate throughout and the section Just preceding it was timbered. Only a few feet per day could be excavated in front of a timbered protection, so soft was the strata through which the boring was made. Water was previously drained through pipes laid in the tun­ nel floor. When the tunnelers first struck the soft strata, a tragedy was narrowly averted when water and sand poured into the heading and burled a work­ man beneath its weight. He was ex­ tricated by others in the crew and suf­ fered only minor injuries. Despite the use of gasoline locomo­ tives that carried men and supplies in­ to tile tunnel, no one was overcome by carbon monoxide gas during the three years of work. Engineers say the ven­ tilation system was extremely efficient. The section which passes through the steel liner plates has been lined with concrete in circle formation. It is 9 feet 6 Inches in diameter. Through the balance of the tunnel, in horseshoe shope, diameter Is 9 feet 3 Inches. The upper half of Tunnel No. 5 was com­ pleted last year by J. P. Shea company of Portland. I t will be recalled th at Shea made a world’s record run In tun­ nel work on the Owyhee. Magoffin hauled gravel for the lining in the lower half through the Shea unit. John Magoffin and Prank Purvis have been in charge of the contract here. After cleaning up, they will be ready to bid on some of the new work on the Owyhee. DR. SARAZIN’S FATHER, AGED 98 YEARS.
