ROCK CRUSHER IS A
M A T T E R OF O PIN IO N
The Ontario Argus, in its last weeks editorial,
questions the advisability of the purchase o f a
portable rock crusher, which will make avail
able ‘stock piles’ throughout the county. The
purchase o f this crusher is to be made out of the
proposed road bonds for the county.
The editorial lauds the Oregon highway com
mission as one of the ‘most efficient road build
ing organizations in the United States.’ Well,
perhaps we have not been around very much,
hut if that gang is efficient in highway building,
we would like to interpose a question as to why
so much highway building has been done on the
coast, and it is impossible to complete one o f the
most vital roads in the state, the I-O-N. They are
efficient all right. For any road that will give
Portlanders a short-cut to seaside resorts, but the
farmers in this section can increase their haul
ing costs to California markets by about forty
per cent.
As to the ‘grave doubts’ to the advisability of
the purchase o f the portable rock crusher, as ex
pressed in the editorial, there is also ‘grave
doubts’ as to whether the state highway com-
misison, in buying crushed rock from individual
companies, is getting their rock as cheaply as if
they had rock crushing outfits of their own. Just
because the commisison follows the system of
buying crushed rock, is no sign that it is the
cheapest method. The Amalgamated Sugar
company, which is building a $2,225,000 refin
ery in Nyssa, found it expedient to buy their
own rock crusher, AND TH E IR P L A N T W IL L
BE FINISH ED T H IS Y E A R !
The State o f Califonia has found it advisable
to own their own rock crushing outfits for their
highway construction, and if anyone has been
over California’s highways, which incidentally,
gives the farmer a chance to get their trucks to
markets, they will find another ‘most efficient
road building organization, etc’. It is easy to be
an obstructionist even the Bible, the best seller
in the world, has been criticized.
TH E CH AMBER OF
COMMERCE DANCE
Past issues of the Journal have carried stor
ies concerning dances that have been sponsored
by the Nyssa Chamber o f Commerce. These
dances are the answer to the question “ What
does the Chamber o f Commerce do?”
Every member of the Chamber of Commerce,
which means practically every business and
professional man in Nyssa, is anxious that these
dances be for the entertainment o f the people
living in and around Nyssa. There is no thought
o f profit in them. It is simply a plan, as said be
fore, to offer to those who like to dance, the
opportunity to enjov a good dance to the
music o f a good orchestra. The next dance to
be sponsored by the Chamber o f Commerce,
will be held April 28. The proceeds o f this
dance will go toward the Nyssa Baseball team
fund, and it is the hope o f those in charge of the
dance that the public in general will turn out in
even larger numbers than in the past, to help
give Nyssa a real team this year.
Even those who perhaps may not dance this
offers an opportunity to all to help toward a
better baseball team for Nyssa. Tickets for this
dance will be on sale by most members o f the
Chamber )of Commerce, and all that will be
necessary is to make it known that you want
a ticket to the Baseball Dance, to be obliged.
