C. N ew s B u re a u of th e N yssa G a te C ity J o u r n a l WASHINGTON, D C —One of the three places in the United States where army tanks will be assembled is Fort Lewis, near Olympia, Wash. Monterey, Calif., and some point on the Atlantic coast are the other two places. There will be 26 battalons of tanks (assorted sizes) and there are 36 tanks to a battalion. The 936 tanks have been ordered and officers are just discovering that they have a problem. The tanks are 10 ton, 20 ton, and 50 ton. with 75 ton tanks in con templation. The moving forts, for they are exactly that, will be ship- pe in parts to Olympia or Tacoma where, on government land, they will be assembled by mechanics. So far so good; but here is the hitch: Smallest of the tanks, the 10-ton- ners, may be able to negotiate bridges, but there is not a bridge in the Pacific northwest, with except ion of the railroad steel bridge in Portland, that can stand up under the 20-tonners to say nothing of the 50 ton tanks. The tanks can be shipped in parts to the assembl ing ground, but the army will find that the 20 ton tanks will never leave the immediate vicinity of Fort Lewis. The large tanks can negot iate fields, of course, but they can neither ford a river nor cross on any existing hiway bridge. These 20 and 50 ton babies cannot be moved on trains for they cannot clear a tunnel. ROY n i f i d u i u lto Fastest Growing City In Oregon FR (1M 1 rnum Hale Held For Circuit Court George Hale was bound over to the circuit court on an arson charge by Justice of the Peace Williams last Thursday when he appeared on an arson charge growing out of the fires that destroyed the Methodist Church and parsonage. He is be ing held in the county jail in lieu of a $500 bond. District Attorney Max Taggart said that in view of Hale's confession, there was little peed of bringing the matter before the grand jury and that Hale would probably ap pear before Circuit Court Judge Robert Duncan in the latter part of this month, probably around Aug ust 26. Various rumors have been making the rounds that the youth had con fessed to the fires at the gymnas ium, the Nyssa Dance hall and the Nyssa Trader, all of which is with out foundation, according to Chief of Police, A. V. Cook. David Duaine Maxwell, 8 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Maxwell, formerly of Melba, Idaho died Mon day in the Holy Rosary hospital from the results of a shot from a .22 calibre rifle. The young boy was given the rifle by his father with instructions to take it to the nearby house. On the way to comply with his fathers instructions the lad tripped into an irrigation ditch, firing the rifle, the bullet lodging in his abdomen. He was rushed to the Sarazin Clinic in Nyssa, was given medical care and then rushed to the hospit al. where he died in the afternoon. Funeral services for the youngst er were held this afternoon in On tario. with interment in the Ontar —Nyssa Fall Festival Sept. 6-7— io Cemetary.
