MAY 25. 1950 To Government To Scholarships New Auditorium Higher Schools Make Survey Of Given Students Used First Time Owyhee Section At Baccalaureate Federal Officials Suggest Establishment O f State Park Representatives of the national park service and bureau of recla mation told members of the Owyhee park committee at a meeting held in Carl's Doll House Wednesday night that 15000 has been appropriated for a survey of the area, which the local committee hopes will be designated as a state park. The federal officials said their organizations will draft a master plan for proposed recreational facil ities In the area and will give assist ance in attempting to have It designated as a state park. CHvlng background to the effort already made for establishment of a park, Hugh Boyle of Boise, rep resenting the bureau of reclamation, said “the primary purpose of the bureau of reclamation is to store water. “It is not the responsibility or function of the bureau of recla mation to carry on recreation. We call upon our advisors In the nation al park service, department of the Interior. They say what they think we should do with the facilities. We asked the national park board for a preliminary survey of the area. They did that and made a report about six months ago. It suggested the development that might take place there and suggested organ izations that could handle It. The park service said the Owy hee area is not of national signific ance and therefore suggested that the state take it over. Later we met with the local group and the matter was discussed with the park service. We have set aside $5000. which we are turning over to the national park service for making a master plan. They are going as far as they can with that small amount of money. They have assured us that they are going to make a study and will pass on recommendations that might result In development and use of the area. The $5000 is not being charged to the water users". Sanford Hill of San Francisco, chief of planning and construction in the regional office, explained the (Continued on Page 2) Phone Project Starting Soon H. P. Stommel of Boise, president of the Malheur Home Telephone company, told representatives of farm groups and business people at a meeting held in the city hall Wednesday afternoon that con struction will be started within the next two weeks on expansion of the telephone system In the Nyssa area. The engineering work has already been completed. The project, costing approximately $70,000, will Involve extending service to an additional estimated 407 fam ilies, making a total of 535 telephon es in the Nyssa-Adrlan section. Mr. Stommel said the material will include 1100 poles and 230 miles of open wire In addition to the main cable feeder plant, which will extend from Nyssa to the town of Adrian, a distance of 12 1/4 miles. Starting from the Nyssa office, the cable will consist of 202 wires run ning into the rural area for a dist ance of approximately seven miles. At that point it will taper off to a cable of 102 wires extending for a distance of 2 3'4 miles. The last three miles of cable Into Adrian will have 50-wire capacity. Mr. Stommel said the company plans to Install the cable so that re lief can be provided on existing lines and installations made for service to customers living Immedi ately adjacent to the main cable lead. The project will require use of two additional positions of switchboard, which. It is contemplated, will be installed later this year. Much of the office equipment is already In stalled with the exception of the two positions. The project, starting in two weeks, will probably be entirely completed by the end of the year, unless un- forseen circumstances prevent, Mr. Stommel said Re» urn From CaKfornl»— Mr. and Mr».
