AND ALMA McLING, Publishers Subscription, Y e a r......... ________*1 oO ..75c Subscrpitlon, 6 Months Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, as Second Class Matter ANOTHER DAY WILL TELL A REFRESHING NOTE With Owyhee Canyon Days relegated to the back ground by a week of more peaceful living, it is refreshing to recall the manner in which the men of the town put the show across. They were working for the development of the Owyhee project Their purpose pervaded the very at mosphere and they worked long hours with very obvious enjoyment. The show was a huge success. Once again a big part of the budget for the Nyssa Commercial club has been raised. Where will the proceeds go? This is a question that every booster for the show has a right to know. The first big item is Nyssa’s quota for Vale-Owyhee land settlement association. Vale, Ontario, Nyssa and the county court pool their efforts in this association. Its business is to sol icit good fanners for the project tracts which will receive water next year. When these homeseekers come to town,, an agent drives them over the project and exhibits the land for sale. Private profiteering is eliminated by the set )rice on tracts which was fixed by a committee appointed y the bureau of reclamation. It is a worthy project. Other club activities, such as correspondence, represen tation at booster meetings, the dozen an., -ne projects for community service that pop up from time to time, round out the work of the commercial club and open an unlimited field which grows and expands according to the efforts of club membership and leadership. Tomorrow will bring another election day, that quiet, undisturbed casting of oallots which all told means success for some and defeat for others Rich and poor, wise and weak, all of us are entitled to play a pail in this demo cratic land. And, if we are the good spoils for which our country is famed we will give the man who wins the maj ority vote a hand. He might not be oui- favorite today—but tomorrow he is the winner. He is the majority’s.man. The campaign is over. For the first time in our recollection Malheur county has a candidate for congress, Dave Graham, our present county judge. All over the district he has won praise for his clean-cut, frank campaign. His home county should give him a big majority and if he has been successful in making the acqaintance of any number of voters in other counties, he will win. The fact that our county is opposed to the sales tax, sponsored by Senator Jay Upton, candi date of Bend, should prove another factor in favor of Malheur county’s man. Many times have we heard it said TOURIST SEASON ON that Dave Graham would make it known that he was in Third largest in revenue producing industries in Ore Washington, if he is privileged to win. Just another day, and we’ll know the winners.
