NEW SETTLERS WANT NAME FOR THEIR HOME DISTRICTS— pleased to see the movement started W E this are week for the naming of several new dis tricts on the Owyhee project. Here we have a new country growing up, and an opportunity to give each district a truly distinctive name which will mean something. It is likely that these names will still he used a hundred years from now. In other pails of the country we have the King- man Kolony district, Owyhee, Oregon Trail, Ar cadia, Cairo and many others. Just how each dis trict was named would make a story in itself; but it is just as important that these new districts be properly named. A meeting has been called for Saturday evening, February 27 in the city hall lo discuss the matter. All interested new settlers are invited to attend and put their favorite name be fore the group. Several different names have already been suggested: Imperial Valley, Mountain View, Mountavista, Morgrow, Fertile Gulch, Lucerne, Nyssa Heights . . . and others. One road in the roject is now known as Yakima boulevard; P b< ecause several former residents of Yakima are living along this road. When a country is new, it is so easy to name each district in accordance to its physical char acteristics. After some hideous name has been tacked on and used for awhile, it is next to im possible to change it. You new settlers get to thinking about a name for your district. If you care to, you can send your suggestion to the Journal and w.e will see that it is presented at the meeting February 27th. Better yet, plan to attend in person and help make history. ----------------------------------* --------------------------------- DON’T LET YOUR DOG BECOME A SHEEP KILLER— HE killing of 68 lambs, the mutilating of several others, with a resultant loss of ap proximately $600 at the Chas. Marshall ranch short time back has brought up the question of stray dogs and the license system. It is obvious that something should be done to prevent these things, as they have a habit of happening several times every year. Sheep are easy prey for dogs and it is cur ious thing that the most damage is usually done by stock dogs, which work faithfully attending stock in the day, but gang up on their charges at night, generally in some other flock than their master’s. A dog usually stalls his career of crime in fun, ganging up with other dogs to worry stock. Once started the only sure cure is lead poisoning. Bird dogs are rarely stock killers, especially in a country where game birds abound, as the sport of hunting birds is more alluring to them tnan any other sport. The best way to keep a dog from becoming a killer, is to tie Shep up at night. If he is missing from the ranch or home, examine his mouth for traces of wool when he returns. If he has started his career of stock killing, it is not often that a cure is effected; and in that case the only way to save yourself and your neighbor from serious loss, is to keep him tied up . . . or shoot him. It sounds callous, but so is the loss of 68 sheep in one night. T --------------------------------- * --------------------------------- COMMENTS BY CLARK WOOD In order to check the floods, a flood of checks will be required from Uncle Sam. There were two sides to the maritime strike, but no winning side. — 4*— Still unaware as to whither we are going, we are still blithely on the way. — I*— Evidently at issue is the question whether or not the supreme court is supreme. The crook tried and found wanting is usually the on.e found with what he wanted. We aren’t sure the permanent wave is of me dieval origin, but its’ the vogue now in the mid- die ages. Not that it matters, but our enjoyment of a coffer dam seen at a recent movie was marred by a damn cougher. > It Happened In Nyssa Years Ago Interesting bits oi history gleaned from the files of years ago. r Taken from The Gate City Journal February 18. 1927 The Nyssa basketball team was defeated by Vale 31 to 19 in a fast game at Vale. The Nyssa and Vale girls played a 20 to 20 tie game. It was decided to play the tie off but Marla McElroy of the Vale team was painfully injured and there was no substitute to take her place, so the ;ame stood a tie. The KUngback and J. P. McGinnis family and Pearl Marx listened to concert from Boise over the radio In the John Jarvis home Sunday afternoon. Mrs. F. Fry is teaching for Mr. Marshall of Oregon Trail as he has not sufficiently recovered from a minor operation which he underwent Saturday. Frank McKnlght, the sheepman, was in town Tuesday on business. His flocks are on the Owyhee at the Morgan and Beaumont ranches. The city council met in special ses sion Thursday night of last week to discuss the purchasing of a tractor for street work. No action was taken, however. A. E. Rust of Ontario was a busi ness visitor in Nyssa the first of the week contemplating an addition to his Main street property now oc cupied by the Rosebud. Nyssa defeated Ontario 35 to 11 in a basketball game. The players for Nyssa were Marquess, Haley, Thomp son, Hyde and Newby. The second team defeated Huntington 32 to 9, the players being Cahoon, Hoxie, Klinkenberg. Benton and Pratt. The Nyssa Boy Scouts defeated the Huntington Scouts 22 to 4. The line up for Nyssa was Brooks, Newby, Dunaway, Garrison, Reberger Newby and Johnston. Miss Bernice Voorhies has return ed to the College of Idaho after hav ing recently recovered from scarlet fever. J. R. Hunter returned this week from an extended business trip in the interest of the McConnon com pany, of which he is district man ager. Taken from The Gate City Journal February 20, 1920 Robert Long and Bert Davis were chosen captain and manager of the high school baseball nine at the meeting of the baseball boys Friday afternoon. George Wards new dwelling has taken its first bath in paint a already and another coat will soon follow.

Cotton has the agency for the Fordson tractor. Ford trucks and cars and announces he can make quick deliveries. United Air Lines is understood to be offering shares of stock to its flying personnel. That’s one way of keeping the stock up. If another tax is put on barreled beer brewers feel they will have to go into the atomizer business so their customers can at least spray their throats with the malt bever age. BW<4 See 23; WUSW’4.
