The NYSSA VOLUME XXXXII Frost And Long Hurt As Plane Hits Power Line Machine Owned By Gor don Schmelzer Damag ed In Forced Landing T» Bernard Frost and Robert (Pud) Long were injured Wednesday af ternoon ahortly after 4 o’clock when an airplane operated by Frost clashed into a power line on a forced landing at the Home- dale beet dump. Mr. Frost, manager of the Idaho Power company a t Nysaa, and Mr. Long, famous Jordan Valley trapp er, were brought to Nyssa by R. Q. Whitaker and Gordon Schmel zer and were taken to their homes. Frost Is suffering from a slight concussion and severe cuts and bruises and Long is suffering from bruises and lacerations. Both of them were knocked unconscious when the plane struck the ground. Mr. Frost, who has a private pilot's license, was taking his friend on his first airplane ride when the accident occurred. They had circled over the Owyhee res ervoir and traveled over Long’s coyote-trapping grounds in Jordan valley and were en route home when Frost realized that a strong head-wind was rapidly diminishing the gasoline supply in the plane. He turned toward Parma with the idea of landing there, but saw tne beet dump and decided to make a landing. He circle the field once looking for power lines and did not see the line running across the end of the field. The plane, owned by Gordon Schmelzer, Nys sa airport manager, cut the wires and crashed to the ground about 50 feet away and was badly dam aged. When the men ’’came to" a con siderable crowd liad gathered. Frost and Long were given first aid treatment by a Homedale doc tor before they started home.

The main factory building, 250 feet by 55 feet, is a two-story fire proof structure, is constructed of concrete and brick in tlie latest design. Machinery is now being received and installed and is expected to be ready for operation by June 1. The plant is designed primarily for corn, hut other products will iie processed later, according to Fred Moss, head of the concern. A large warehouse for storage will be completed, probably by May 15. It will contain 15,000 square leet of floor space, with a celling height of 20 feet. It will have a storage capacity of 3000,000 cases. The warehouse, which was built as a first unit, will set Just north of tne present factory building site. The plant will be one of the most modem of its type In the United States. It was designed by an eastern engineer, who has had years of experience in plant con struction, Mr. Moss said. The plant ls to be completely motorized and constructed for operation under tlie most sanitary conditions. The lat est facilities for receiving and quick handling of the produce are being installed. In addition to the main build ings, the company will construct a lunch and recreation room suffic ient to take care o{_the entire per sonnel. Landscaping and general beauti fication of the property will be done as fast as conditions will per mit. The company will have a payroll tor approximately 350 persons, girls and boys and older persons, pro viding funds tor local people to assist them in meeting school ex penses and general living cOBts. Mr. Moss said the company, which is contracting about 3000 acres of corn, will start operations In the first part of August and run to late September. This period of employment In connection with the sugar beet operations, which will Immediately follow, Mr. Mass feels, will be a boon to this vicinity. Joe Talbot, head fieldman of the company, and Fieldman Clarence Spaulding discussed certain phases of the company operations at the weekly luncheon of the Nyssa chamber of commerce Wednesday noon. They said that representa tives of the company will be at the A1 Thompson and son feed store a t Second street and Good avenue every Saturday until April 10, beginning this week. Acreage is now being signed up by fleldmen who will locate In Nyssa as soon as housing facili ties are provided. These fleldmen are thoroughly trained to give full advice as to planting and preparation of the crops, Mr. Moss said. The concensus of the business men was that “this being the first year of the cannery’s operatlens the community should support the enterprise, which will need a large acreage, and again show Its 100 per cent loyalty to Its own Indus try ‘T h e farmers should be happy In having an Institution of this character, which provides a cash crop th at Is easy to grow and is profitable, and serves as an adjunct to cattle feeding and farming con ditions In the area”. FARMERS ASKED TO CLEAN BARROW-PITS OF WEEDS, WILLOWS The Nyssa road assessment dist rict has Issued an appeal to farm ers to clean the barrow-plts along their property of weed and willows. “If farmers expect to get their roads graded they had better clean up the barrow-plts, according to County Commissioner Alva Oood- ell. The roads will be graded first where the weeds and willows are cut". Fanners should also check cul verts to see that proper drainage Is available. No Irrigation water ls permitted In county barrow-plts and the county court expects to enforce the law this year, Mr. Ooodell said.
