NO. 34. HOT AS PRIMARY ELECTION NEARS NYSSA, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1934. I-O-N LINK NEAR McDERMITT NOW NEAR COMPLETION Newell Construction Company is making good progress on the grad ing of 22 miles of the I-O-N high way from McDermitt north toward Rome, said Archie Howell of Nyssa who returned from McDermitt this week. About 17 H miles of new road has been built. Nevada has com pleted the I-O-N to the Oregon line. When the rough, unfinished link between Jordan Valley and Rome will be built is the question that confronts this county although the highway commission agreed last year to build the road between Jor dan and McDermitt as soon as funds became available. In McDermitt Howell met Mr and Mrs. Louis P. Thomas of Oak land, Cal. who returned via the I-O-N In spite of the washed out places in the road which resulted from recent rains. Howell and Thomas discovered during a visit that they were former "buddies” at the Mare Island marine base during war days.
