Because of the snowfall during the last few weeks, the possibility has developed that the Owyhee reservoir will fill this year for the first time in four years. A forecast issued January 1 by the weather bureau, United States department of commerce, for the western states, indicates a snow fall on the Owyhee watershed of 95 per cent of the normal. If the rainfall for the rest of the season is normal, the Owyhee river discharge will amount to 590,000 acre feet, or 95 per cent of normal, according to Paul House, irrigation manager of the Owyhee project. Prospects indicate that the reservoir will fill, but whether it does will depend entirely on weather condit ions. The reservoir has not filled the last three years. As the report of weather con ditions was issued Nyssa was shiver ing in four-below zero temperatures. The mercury in the reclamation bureau instruments dropped to four minus Tuesday morning and one below zero Wednesday morning. The four degrees came within two degrees of the six below zero reg istered January 4. The highest temperature Monday was 11 degrees and the highest Monday 20 degrees. Snow during January amounted to 11.5 inches and moisture during the month reached 1.27 inches. Water stored in the reservoir Amounted to 377,140 acre feet Wed nesday. The storage capacity is 715,000 acre feet. §1TY JOURNAL .w» Dr. J. J.

Cochrun and with other frlenda tn this vicinity Nyssa honored its pioneer phys ician and Oregon's governor and first lady on the occasion of the Nyssa chamber of commerce ban quet, held in the high school build ing Monday night. In presenting a $150 wrist watch to Dr. J. J. Sarazin on behall of the chamber of commerse. Secre tary Harold Henlgson said "It is our good fortune that 45 years ago a pioneer came to Nyssa—a pioneer who had the fortitude to stick it out through the years. His trials and tribulations have built for our community a legend. "A few years ago he and a few others created a chamber of com merce. That was not so easy when you consider that the membership included two bitter enemies who had to be seated at opposite ends of the table at luncheons. Our pioneer as president of the chamb er of commerce had tlie task of welding this material into an or ganization and come out alive at the end of his term. "Since that time he has been one of the chamber of commerce stal- warts. In 1909 he began a 25-year battle for the Owyhee project, which has made the wasteland the most productive part of Oregon. In 1945. he was one of the sponsors of our new hosplUl. When he could have uken things easy, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work soliciting hosplUl funds. I could go on enumerating his praises and accomplishments, but let our secret be revealed. Dr. Sarazin, on behalf of the Nyssa chamber of commerce I present you with this watch". "I don’t know where you received all of your information” , Dr. Sar azin said. "This is all a surprise to me. I don't i^ow how to tell you. but I thank you with all my heart“ . With Oovernor Douglas McKay and Mrs. McKay as guests of honor, James W. Leslie, president of the chamber, presented Wilton C. Jack- son as the toastmaster front Texas. Rev. Donald S. Campbell gave the invocation and Mr. Jackson intro duced the guests, who were Included in the 150 persons attending the banquet. Oeorge C. Henneman, chairman of the city council, expressed the belief that the outstanding accom plishment of the chamber of com merce Is the “creation of good fel lowship through working for our own betterment. We are honored to have as our guests Oovernor and Mrs. Douglas McKay. I don’t think the governor of the state of Ore gon has paid us a visit in the last 12 years and the first lady never has. We welcome you and thank you for your Interest in our com munity". President Leslie said “ In consider ing the 1950 prospects for our chamber of commerce we might best start by looking at the achieve ments of our 1947, '48 and '49 groups and by considering how our activ ities correlate with those of other civic organizations. Three years ago we had no hospital, we had very few paved streets, our school system fell far short of accommodating the potential enrollment and our water supply was a problem. "Now, at the start of 1950, we have been enjoying our paved streets and improved water supply long enough that we are apt to forget that the problems ever existed. These things have been accomplished because of the faith of you people ln your home town. In voluntary contributions to the hospital and in voting additional tax levies you have made a tre mendous investment ln the future of the city of Nyssa. Whether we are farmer, merchant or wage earn er. whether we are chamber of com merce. Lions club or hospital associ ation members, we must keep faith with the vision and courage of those who planned these Improvements. As a chamber of commerce we are keeping faith when we stimulate business and encourage new enter prise. Let's keep faith with both the past and the future by recogn izing and accepting these responsi bilities in 1950". President Leslie Introduced the governor, who spoke principally on the development and conservation of natural resources in the state. Speaking of the unbalanced ec onomy in the state, the governor said 75 per cent of the Industry and 80 per cent of the people In Oregon live west of the Cascade mountains and suggested that the situation should be changed. He pointed out that in a growing business or state expenses go ahead of profits, and fCeatlnaed on Page 9) Here fi-wtn Idaho Falk— Mr and Mra. D. H. Stoddard arrived in Nyssa Monday evening to visit at the home of Mr and Mra. Howard Love Joy and family. Governor Douglas McKay told a capacity crowd seated ln the home economics room and one of the halls of the Nyssa high school building at the annual meeting or the Nyssa chamber of commerce Monday nigm that he hopes Oregon will continue to grow, but that it will be able to retain “ those things that Oregonians cherish” . Ttii governor, whose grandpar ents came to the Oregon territory when there were only about 400 persons living in the northwest, said “The future of Oregon is so bright I want to talk about it. We are in the process of growing for three reasons. As a natural place to live nothing can surpass it for people who like the out-of-doors. Oregon is growing because business is decentralized. We have better living conditions and we have 650,- 000 new customers ln Oregon. To day, on the Pacific coast we have a big market. Truly, this is an empire. Oregon is going to con tinue to grow, but I am anxious that it grow systematically and that we do not lose the things we cherish in Oregon. “ Wealth and Industry do not al ways bring happiness. They some times bring wreched tenements, crime and smog". Speaking of the conservation of W. V. Richmond and Edward Ker were re-elected as directors of the natural resources, the government Farmers Supply co-op of Nyssa and said "We have only a thin layer Ontario at the annual meeting held of soil between us and starvation. ln the Boulevard Orange hall last There are three tilings we must re member—we must use the soil wise Thursday.
