The city has also purchased a Ford truck which they expect to make into a water sprinkler for use on the city streets.

This year Dr. Sarazin’s office has already treated some 125 patients, while the number last year was around 40. So great has been the demand that the supply is prac tically exhausted and word from the government laboratories at Hamilton. Montana, is to the ef- fec that the supply has been ex hausted there too. Damp, cold weather is best for tick growth, so we may expect to see a good many this year. One death has been reported, that of George Bradley. Western Union operator of Sunnyside, Idaho. Whiskers S ta rt. Sprouting For Big Celebration Timely Advice Given to Growers of N y u a ’ i Spinach Crop on Can _ For the Harvest. Of timely interest to Nysslans, is this advice on the wearing of b e taken from ‘TV : . ,.ubu • 1881 by the ubllshlng Hous ' of New York, mo ujubt many Nyssa men will gather gems of wisdom from the pen o f this writer of over 50 years ago. He says: "The style of the hair on the face should be governed by the character of the face. But whatever the style be, the great point should be to keep it well brushed and trimmed, and to avoid any appearance of wildness or inattention." ‘The full, flowing beard of course requires more looking after in the way of cleanliness than any other. It should be thoroughly washed and brushed at least twice a day, as dust is sure to accumulate in it, and it is very easy to suffer it to become ob jectionable to one's self as well as to others. The mustache Should be worn neatly and not over-large.” In conclulon our advice to those who shave is like Punch’s advice to those about to marry, "Don’t!” There Is nothing that so adds to native manliness as the full beard if carefully kept; and no man need be ashamed of showing his manhood in the hair of his face.” Mrs. Char. Gardner has been sick with the flu the past week. Water through the tunnel! The first water to go through the tunnel onto the new project will start its Journey Friday morning of this week, according to R. J. Newell, pro ject engineer, which marks an event waited for many years. Water has been rising in the dam at rate of over three feet a day for the past three days, the exact figure being 3.85. Thursday morning the water was approximately one foot from the tunnel mouth with the water ex pected to hit the tunnel mouth by four o'clock today. From 9,000 to 10.000 foot of water is running into the dam as the spring run-off started in the snow covered, moun tains. The water in the dam has raised over 18 feet in the past sewn days. The first head of water will be small to prime and puddle the tun nel and ditches. Mr. Newell states that in his opinion water sufficient for irrigation' purposes will be able to be turned in the ditches not later than 10 days. Water will be turned in both the main laterals, the King- main leading toward Adrian and the Mitchell Butte lateral leading toward Nyssa. The spring run-off is now well started but if warm weather hits the upper country the present 9 to 10,000 foot run-off may be increased. In 1932 the big run-off can-led as much as 20 000 foot of water every 24 vours. The first water through the tun- means the fulfillment of a team of many years standing, the first organization leading toward the construction of the Owyhee dam starting in 1904. In 1924 and 1925 Congress made appropriations to start the construction of the Owyhee project, and the dam was built at a cost of $6,000,000,000, The tunnels leading the water from the dam through the hills to the mouth of the main canals were constructed at a cost of $4,000,000,000, and oanal construction has added another $3,- 000,000. The project is completed to a point where 15,000 acres of new land will be under water this spring. The Vale and Owyhee projects are the first ones to be constructed by the United States government and offered for settlement at an "un improved land price, with specula tion and commissions for selling ab- olutely eliminated.
