JOURNAL 77ieNYSSA VOLUME XXXXVI NO. 11 THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA. OREGON. THURSDAY. MARCH 29. 1951 State Offers To Widen Section Of Highway From Main To Locust Iva Garren Killed When Struck By Fast Freight On Nyssa Bridge City, However, Required Al Goodell Urg es To Lav Sidewalks On • Sucker Creek Road Arcadia Blvd. Support In Nyssa Police, Others Search In Reservoir Filling; Snake River In Vain Water To Go Into For Tiny Body Canals In 2 Weeks Charles Reynolds ol La Grande, state highway commissioner; R. H. Baldock of Salem, state highway engineer, and Ed Chldsey of La Grande, district engineer, announc ed in Nyssa Tuesday that the state highway department will widen the paving on highway 20 from Mam street to Locust avenue in Nyssa and install curbing and drainage a- long the section known as Arcadia boulevard if the city will lay con crete sidewalks on both sides of the thoroughfare. The state had intended to resur face the section In connection with the resurfacing project between On tario and Nyssa but proposed to lay paving only 22 feet wide. The cost of widening the paving and instal ling curbs will run between *20,000 and $30,000 in addition to the cost of the work already planned by the commission for that area. The city council will decide at its monthly meeting April 10 as to whether to agree to the sidewalk project. If the council agrees, the sidewalk work will be done under the Bancroft act, which provides fcr payment of the cost by property owners involved in cash or 20 annual installments. The total value of the project will amount to approximate ly four times the cost to the property owners. The city would be required to do the work this season. Babler Brothers and the Rogers Construction company expect to re sume work on the Nyssa-Ontarlo section within the next 30 days, starting in the Nyssa area. The highway commission expects to let a contract this spring on the Nvssa-Adrian section. The project will include resurfacing and some realigning of the highway. The highway officials met in the Moore hotel in Ontario Tuesday noon at a luncheon to discuss with Malheur county officials road prob lems of the area. Representatives of Nyssa, Vale. Ontario and Adrian as well as members of the county court attended. County Judge 8. Stanton presided at the luncheon. County Commissioner Alva Good ell told members of the Nyssa cham ber of commerce at their weekly luncheon Wednesday noon that they should work for construction of the proposed Sucker creek road. He thinks prospects for its construction by the state highway department are good. Goodell said the highway depart ment is faced with the problem of securing rights-of-way in its pro posed plan to improve the Nyssa- Adrian section. Other reports here this week indicated the highway commission expects to let a contract for the project this spring. The chamber of commerce voted to contribute $150 for the Malheur Jersey show to be held in Nyssa May 26. Mrs. Charley Grider thanked the chamber on behalf of the Jersey Cattle club for the contribution and for past favors.

Fire Destroys Shed And Onions Bybee Brothers, whose warehouse located at the intersection of the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Park avenue was destroyed by fire last Friday morning, announced Wednesday that they are undecided as to whether to rebuild on the site. They will soon start clearing away the debris and may build a temporary storage facility. The $25,000 to $30,000 fire not only destroyed the building but also packing shed machinery, hundreds of empty sacks and 600 sacks of onions owned by Herbert Fisher, lessee of the building, and damaged two Pacific Fruit Express company refrigerator cars. 8. P. Bybbe said the loss was well covered by insur ance. The value of the building, bought by Bybee brothers in 1943, was estimated at $10,000 to $12,000. The total of the Fisher loss was placed at about the same amount or more. Damage to the lefrigerator cars was approximately $3,300. One car contained 300 sacks of onions and the other 450 sacks of onions. Firemen, who answered the alarm at 1:45 a. m . said the building was completely on fire when the alarm was sounded so all they could do was save the J. C. Watson company packing shed located immediately to the north of the Bybee shed. Andy Swan, who first discovered the fire, awakened Roy Bibbey, who noti fied firemen, who said there is no way of determining the cause of the blaze. The J. C. Watson company gave a dinner in the Morocco club Monday night for the firemen for saving the Watson building. The west wall and part of the roof of Dr. L, A. Maulding’s garage at Third street and Ehrgood avenue were burned Tuesday morning. The fire, causing damage estimated at $300, was started, firemen said, from a trash blaze, A hay stack on the W. A. Bybee farm on the Adrian highway was destroyed by fire Saturday after noon. The hay was said to have been owned by Vaughn Stringer.

H Rader at Ontario, branch manager who made the presentation. Canyon county sheriff's officers, grappling in the Snake river at (he railroad bridge south of Nyssa, hud not located the body of Iva Garren this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and de cided that further search was use less. Iva Adaline Garren, small daught er of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Garren, was killed when struck by the loco motive of a fast freight on the rail road bridge over the Snake river south of Nyssa about 10:37 a. m. Wednesday and state police officers and others were still searching for her body over a long stretch of the river at dark last evening. The father of the girl, who was two years old in January, said the accident occurred after he had car ried some seed across the railroad bridge from Bridge island, on which he is living. He carried the seed because the nearby ferry recently sank. When he started across the bridge, Iva and two of her brothers were playing on a road on the large Island, which Is crossed by the rail road track. According to the report o f Elmer Williams, engineer on the diesel en gine, Iva and ait least one of her brothers must have followed Mr. Oarren onto the bridge, because when the engineer sounded the en gine whistle one boy ran o ff the tracks. Thinking there might still be others on the bridge, Williams sounded the whistle and rang the bell. He finally saw a tiny object about eight or 10 feet in on the bridge and decided it was a child. He desperately pulled the emergency brakes as he reached a point about 500 feet from the child and continu ed to sound the whistle as he prayed that the girl would move. As the lo comotive bore down on the child, Williams reduced the speed of his machine from 50 to 25 miles, but he could not stop It in time to avoid the accident that threw the girl against a bridge girder and into the river about 30 feet from the south end of the bridge. State and city police, railroad o f ficials, Nyssa volunteer firemen and county officials were called and soon Nyssa residents owning out board and Inboard motor boats began cruising up and down the river In search of the girl's body. Oordon Schmelzer and Joe Driscoll of Gordon's Air Service at Nyssa flew over the area most of the after noon In the search. Late In the aft ernoon, Driscoll and his Observer, Dr. Roscoe Kellogg, thought they saw the body In the river below Ny ssa and landed at the Ontario air port to give the report. State police have since been searching the area between Payette and Welser In boats In an attempt to find the body. The Canyon County Sheriff's pos se spent most of Wednesday after noon dragging the swift and swollen river Just below where Iva's body fell from the trestle. Besides her mother and father, Iva is survived by five brothers and sisters. Juniors To Give Play Friday Eve.
