WASHINGTON,
D. C.—Peeler
logs, choicest trees of Douglas fir
forests in Oregon and Washington,
are the mainstay of the plywood in­
dustry. These logs are being export­
ed, processed and. in many in­
stances, shipped back to the Unit­
ed States to compete with the prod­
uct of local plywood mills. For a
year efforts have been made to have
congress enact a law curbing the
exportation of peeler logs. The sen­
ate has passed such a bill and hear­
ings are now being held by a house
committss.
The peeler log business is import­
ant, giving employment to thou­
sands of workers in the Pacific
northwest. It is realized, however,
that when peeler logs are shipped
out of the country the cream of the
forest resource is being turned over
to foreigners and gradually reduc­
ing the available supply which is
required for American
plywood
plants and the workers therein.
Principal opposition to the legis­
lation comes from the department
of state (the department of agri­
culture favors the bill) as Secretary
of State Cordell Hull contends that
placing an embargo on peeler logs
will interfere with his reciprocal
trade agreements.
In the past six fiscal years $53,-
387,830 has been distributed to the
farmers of Oregon and Washington
through Triple A of the department
of agriculture. Of this sum Wash­
ington received $32,492,656 and Ore­
gon $20,895,174. This is but one
source of government money which
has been poured into the Pacific
northwest. Under the farm security
administration in the past four
years
Washington has received
$577,986 and Oregon
$1,202.252.
These contributions are for resettle­
ment projects.
With a single exception, every
member of the house of representa­
tives from Washington and Oregon
is supporting a new pension pro­
posal. This is to furnish pensions
for the widows and orphans of
World war veterans, regardless of
whether death was service connect­
ed. It is estimated that if the bill
becomes a law it will require taxes
of $48.000,000 a year to meet the
claims, providing all eligible apply
for the pension, which they prob­
ably would. The sponsor for this
pension proposal is a Mississippi
congressman who served 90 days in
the World war In a training camp.
Chief opponent is a war veteran
who is a member from California,
his contention being that veterans
have already been well taken care
of.

Nyssa Set For
Track Meet
A t Weiser
Sixteen men will comprise Coach
Bob Parke's Nyssa high school track
squad that will journey to Weiser,
Saturday, April 27, to compete for
honors in the Snake River Valley
Conference meet.
Ontario is the top-heavy favorite
in the meet. As Coach Parke puts
it, “They’ve got all the material in
the conference!” Emmet, Weiser,
Payette and Adrian also will enter
teams.
Stanley Ray in the 440, Gerald
Warren in the 880, and Duane
Weeks in the high jump are consid­
ered to be the point winners for the
Nyssa squad. In these men the Bull­
dogs have three potential first
places in the meet. The fact that
the turnout for track was small, and
because track has been inactive for
the past several years, thus making
it impossible to develop material
makes it difficult to put out a win­
ning team, according to Coach
Parke.
The Nyssa entrants and their
events in the conference meet are
as follows; 220, Dean Wyckoff; 440,
Stanley Ray and Clyde Smith; 880
Gerald Warren and Chester Ashby;
mile. Jim Chadd and Ned Hibbert;
medley relay, Bill Fagan, Norbert

the 880 relay, Herb Boren, Dean
Wyckoff, Stan Ray and Gerald
Warren.
Nyssa come off third best last
Saturday at the four-school track
meet in Ontario, with 28 points.
Ontario scored 78Vi; Weiser, 43 and
Adrian trailed with 15*4.
Bill Laxson of Ontario was high
point man for the meet and broke
the Idaho and Oregon high school
record for the 220 low hurdles.
Laxson’s time was 22.8.

Meeting Held On
Milk Control
Less than a dozen persons turned
out Monday night to discuss the
milk control act in Malheur county,'
at a meeting held in the city hall.
Mayor Aiken of Ontario was pres­
ent and gave what information on
the situation that he could, which
boiled down to a few words, was
that the milk control board had de­
cided to withdraw the act from the
county, but before doing so had held
a meeting in Ontario. Following this
meeting. Aiken said, the board
chairman. C. E. Grelle. had withheld
the action subject to a series of
meetings to be held in Nyssa, On­
tario and Vale to find out the re­
action of the various cities.
Little or no information or views
could be gathered from the Nyssa
meeting, except that the local dairy­
men, Herb Fisher of the Gate City
Dairy and Rock Shelton of Shel­
ton's Dairy, agreed that the present
price of milk was about ten per cent
too high and that they were willing
to reduce the price of single quarts
to 10 cents with four quarts being
delivered for 35 cents. Half pints of
cream would be reduced from 18 to
15 cents.
A county committee meeting has
been called by Mayor Aiken, who
was asked by Grelle to sound out
the sentiment of the people on the
control question, for Monday night
at Ontario. At this meeting a formal
resolution is expected to be adopted
on the question of the control. The
indications are that the control will
stay but that a reduction in he price
of milk will be asked for.
WOMAN SENTENCED
ON DOPE CHARGE
Florence E. Pollock plead guilty
to one count of violation of the
narcotic act and was sentenced to
60 days in the county pail by Cir­
cuit Court Judge Duncan. The sec­
ond count was dismissed by the
court.
A charge of check forgery was
also dismissed by the court against
E. A. Wilson.
HERD IMPROVEMENT
CO-OP FORMED
Four Malheur county
farmers
have organized the Willow Creek
Herd Improvement
Co-operative
near Willow Creek, under the spon­
sorship of the community and co­
operative services section. Farm Se­
curity Administration, according to
W. W. Thompson, county supervisor.
Services of a Holstein bull will be
made available for use on member
farms and a limited number of oth­
er farmres in the community may
be enabled to participate. The new
co-operative is set up on a joint
ownership plan with members sign­
ing patronage agreements on a fee
basis.
Managers of the service are Wal­
ter J. Lester and Ralph O. Dillon.
Other members are Wayne Will­
iams and Willard Grose.
Water Users
Elect Officers
At a general meeting of the wa­
ter users of the Owyhee project held
at Nyssa April 18, irrigation prob­
lems were discussed and a formal
organization was formed. I. Bjugan,
Payette was elected general chair­
man; Wayne Kerr, Payette, Wm.
Schaffer, L. R. Anderson of Ontario,
Jacob Kollen of Nyssa; B. B. Bur­
roughs and Floyd Glass of Home-
dale, directors; C. C. Wyckoff, Nys­
sa, secretary-treasurer.
The association went on record as
favoring: (1) closer co-operation
with reclamation officials in carry­
ing on a series of experiments to
determine the most economical use
of water; (2) that the water be
turned in the ditches so that water
can be delivered to the farmers by
April 1st of each year; (3) when­
ever there is water wasting over the
dam that is not claimed by prior
rights below, the water users are
to receive free water as long as the
water wastes. This is the procedure
followed on the Boise project.
Frank Morgan, secretary of the
Owyhee Irrigation board, was ap­
pointed to select an advisory board,
consisting of two members of the
Gem district, one each from the
Owyhee Irrigation board and the
Owyhee Water Users association to
co-operate with Mr. Schlapkohl,
reclamation afficial, and Mr. Mc-
Kennon county agent, in setting up
representative plots of ground do­
nated by farmers to determine the
most economical amount of water
needed for the various types of
soils and crops.
R. J. Newell, engineer in charge
of the Owyhee project, has indi­
cated he is anxious that these ex­
periments be conducted and the
plan is to start them in the very
near future.
NO CLOSING DATE
ON TILE PLANT
The tile plant southwest of Nyssa
under the Bureau of Reclamation
and the Department of Interior, is
still going full speed, according to
John Andrews, plant superintend­
ent. Although much of the work on
the projects is finished, there is
still much tile needed so that so
far no closing date has been set.
Even though the immediate needs in
this area have been practically fill­
ed there is a possibility of other
areas needing tile and In that case
the plant will remain open indefin­
itely.
This plant has produced 67.056
feet o ftile since its opening in 1933
until the first of January of this
year and this does not include
Joints nor culverts which number
considerably.
This plant has supplied all of the
tile used on the Owyhee and Black
Canyon
irrigation projects, the
Dead Ox and Gem irrigation dis­
tricts.
To Canvass
Bulldogs Drop
Farm Labor Two; W in From
Charles Paradis of t h f Ontario
office of the State Unemployment
service announced this week that
workers from the Ontario and Nys­
sa offices were making a personal
farm-to-farm canvass to investi­
gate the present need and the future
passible need in this area of farm
laborers.
“The canvass is to be made,” Par­
adis said, “ that we may more thor­
oughly acquaint ourselves with the
real needs of the farmer and ascer­
tain just how many permanent
residents in the area can be counted
on to assist In the planting and
harvest seasons. This is necessary
in order that the oversupply of la­
borers from other areas may be dis­
couraged if not eliminated. Such
persons become a burden upon the
community when there is insuffi­
cient work to care for all of them."
Mr. Paradis urgently advises ev­
ery man and woman needing or de­
siring work to register at one of<
these employments offices as calls
for all manner of labor are received
daily. Workers are also advised to
provide themselves with light camp­
ing equipment as some work is too
far removed from the cities to make
driving back and forth advisable.
Farmers and other employers who
wish to obtain workers are request­
ed to call Ontario 171, or Nyssa 127,
collect, and every effort will be
made by the office to secure a sat­
isfactory person for the job.
It is also desired that future la­
bor wants by employers be register­
ed at the offices in advance so that
they may be anticipated in advance
and competent and qualified help
found for them.
Driving School
Course Starts
April 3 0
Students at the Nyssa high school
will be offered the opportunity of
learning to drive an automobile in
a modern safety driving school,
when a seven-weeks course will bo
started here on the high school
grounds April 30. The school will be
in charge of E. L. Van Blaricom of
the Traffic Safety division from the
Secretary of State’s office. Van
Blaricom will have the full co-op­
eration of the Nyssa police force.
Students 15 years of age or older
are eligible to enroll, registrations
to be left at the high school. Each
pupil must furnish his own car, but
no drivers license is required for the
course.
Classes are held each week during
the course, one phase of driving be­
ing taken up at each session.
From the past week’s baseball
games the Nyssa Bulldogs emerged
with only o .333 percentage, having
dropped two and won one encount­
er.
The Vale Viking last Friday spoil­
ed the opener here by disposing of
the Nyssa Bulldogs In a game in
which the adjective "free-scoring”
would be a masterpiece of under­
statement. No fewer than 27 runs
rounded third-base and scored at
home safely. But the Vikings made
the circuit five more times than
the Bulldogs, winning 16 to 11.
Vale made 14 hits to 9 for Nyssa.
According to the official count, 12
errors were made in the game with
Nyssa booting 5 to Vale's 7. For lo­
cal fans there were bright spots
in the game—one when Herb Boren
in deep centerfield made a spark­
ing overhead catch of a long, appar­
ently cinch double on the run, and
the other when Frank Wilson, who
replaced Harold Holmes on the
mound, whiffed four batters in a
row, easily the best pitching per­
formance of the day. Even the um­
pire took a beating in the game.
Grant Rinehart, behind the plate,
made good contact with a foul tip
and had to be carried from the
field. Dell Taylor took his place.
In Monday's game with Ontario,
“Missouri” Holmes on the mound
for Nyssa showed shades of Bob
Feller for the first six inning of the
seven-inning game and held the
Tigers to exactly no hits and only
one fly ball out of the infield. His
teammates squeezed two hits out of
the almost equally invulnerable
Ward of Ontario and scored one run.
But it takes only one inning to
spoil the day for a ball club, and
destiny chose the seventh in this
game. Two scratch infield hits, a
solid right field single and an er­
ror told the story. Ontario shoved
across three runs in their half and
took the six-hit game, three to one.
In spite of a beautiful curve ball
that was breaking nicely over the
corners, Harold Holmes left the ball
game, not as a Bob Feller, but as
Harold “Missouri" Holmes. Harold
Taylor's triple was the best the
Nyssa bats could do in the game.
After the two humiliations it had
suffered previously, Nyssa was out
for revenge when they met Adrian
Tuesday, and they got it—to the
tune of 12 to 1. Wilson pitched a fine
ball game, held the Pirates to four
bingles, and his teammates came
through with 12. Taylor again led
the scoring parade with two out of
four.
One more home game is left on the
schedule with Harper here a weex
from Friday. Tomorrow (Friday)
the Bulldogs travel to Vale, and
they take Ontario at Ontario on
Tuesday.

To Meet W ith
Commission
O n Subway
With word having been received
here that the Oregon Highway Com­
mission on May 2 is to make final
decision on the fate of the subway
at Nyssa, the Chamber of Commerce
is sending a delegation of four to
meet with Attorney Devers of the
Commission, in Salem on May 1.
After this conference, at which time
legal aspects of the situation will be
gone into, the delegation will go to
Portland where they will meet with
the commission and advise them of
the status of the property involved.
With only legal aspects to be con­
sidered now, the council last Friday
night adopted a resolution vacating
the streets and plat in the Emison
addition (the property which must
be bought before the subway can be
constructed).
This resolution does not mean
that residents in the affected prop­
erty will be required to vacate the
property at once, but simply that a
hearing will be held on May 27 at
8 p. m. in the city hall, at which
time written remonstrances to the
vacation order will be heard. This
is a mere formality as the situa­
tion now stands as all property own­
ers have either signed up on op­
tions or have indicated their will­
ingness to do so. The only excep­
tion to this being a piece of property
in the Loveland estate.
Armed with these facts in the
case it is the hope of the Chamber
of Commerce delegation to induce
the commission to issue an order
authorizing the construction of the
subway. This will, of course, de­
pend entirely on the view of the
situation that Attorney Devers will
take on the matter.
Those appointed by Bernard Frost,
president of the Chamber of Com­
merce, are Frank Morgan, Attorney
A. L. Fletcher, Ray O. Larson and
Mayor A1 Thompson.
Cricket Control
Program Started
County Agent McKennon return­
ed from McDermltt Wednesday from
an Inspection tour on the Mormon
cricket situation.
The crickets have advanced to a
point within 5 miles east of M c-
Dermitt, McKennon said, the total
area affected being in the neighbor­
hood of 1,000,000 acres most of which
is grazing or public domain land.
Federal, state and county offi­
cials are co-operating in control
measures. Walter F. Condon, super­
visor with the bureau of entomology.
U. S. D. A., is on the ground and
supervising the control measures
which at present consists of dusting
the area, as much as the terrain
will permit, with powder dusters
mounted on trucks.
Every effort is being made to
keep the crickets out of homes and
cultivated lands. Later, if it be­
comes necessary, a tin fence will be
built to keep back the marching
horde.
McKennon said that the chickets
are so thick that the ground Is lit­
erally covered with them, most of
which measure about one-half inch
lnog.
Last year the crickets had ad­
vanced to within about 15 miles of
McDermltt showing an estimated
advance this year of around 10
miles.
