Representatives of the Gem Irri­
gation district in Idaho and the
Owyhee Irrigation district met with
bureau of reclamation officials Tues­
day night to perfect final details of
the proposed repayment contract be­
tween the districts and the govern­
ment.
The Owyhee Irrigation district
will schedule an election to give
water users an opportunity to vote
on the contract, but before the elect­
ion is held the Owyhee district will
obtain sufficient copies of the con­
tract to be distributed to the water
users in the district. It is also plan­
ned that after the water users have
had an opportunity to examine the
terms of the contract, a mass meet­
ing will be held for the purpose of
discussing the contract and answer­
ing questions of water users.
In anticipation of favorable action
on the contract by all of the districts
under the Owyhee project, the
bureau of reclamation is proceeding
with the preliminary steps necessary
to obtain the approval of the con­
tract by the congress of the United
States.
The board of directors of the
Owyhee Irrigation district will meet
soon to set the date for the elect­
ion.
All the other districts in the pro­
ject are scheduling elections for a
vote of water users on the contract.
Concern Seeks
War Contracts
L. H. Barnhart o f Portland, dist­
rict manager of the Western Union
Telegraph company, was in Nyssa
Wednesday Investigating the desira­
bility of making a change in the
method of handling telegraph bus­
iness here.
Mr. Barnhart said setting up an
entirely separate Western Union of­
fice in Nyssa would not be feasible
because of the comparatively small
amount of business handled by the
company here. The cost, he said,
would far exceed the amount of bus­
iness available.
However, Mr. Barnhart said he
would be interested in securing an
agent to handle the business. Under
such an arrangement, an agent
would handle Western Union mes­
sages as well as attend to some other
business in the same office or build-
ing.
A change in the Western Union
arrangement Is desired by some bus­
inessmen, who said railroad employ­
es are too busy to give proper time
and consideration to the Western
Union affairs.
A. Moses Giving
Historic Spot
Archie D. Moses of route 1, Nyssa,
is offering to donate two acres if
land on his farm as a memorial park
to the pioneers, according to infor­
mation received Wednesday from
Walter E. Meacham of Portland, ex­
ecutive-secretary of Old Oregon
Trail, Inc.
Mr. Meacham said “It was on the
site o f Mr. Moses’ farm that the
emigrants of 1960, who had been
attacked by the Snake Indians,
made their starvation camp and re­
sorted to cannibalism beiore they
were rescued by the U. S. army
under Captain Dent.
"Dr. R. A. Tacke of Ontario vis­
ited the Moses farm last fall in my
company. This Is a very generous
offer and a patriotic one. I have
written to Dr. Tacke, our regional
vice president for Malheur county
about this offer.
"This little plot of ground can be
made Into a real "story spot” for
Malheur county. It can be made a
mecca for history-minded tourists
and will also serve as an object les­
son in American history.
‘8tory spots” make traveling in­
teresting so the more we develop the
greater attraction the Old Oregon
Trail will have” .
John R. Palmer of Nyssa told
members of the chamber of com­
merce at their weekly luncheon
Wednesday noon in Carl’s Doll
House that the Snake River valley
has a good chance of getting war
contracts through the activities of

was organized about two months

chamber of commerce.
A more active participation of
the Nyssa chamber of commerce in
raising funds for the Nyssa Night
rodeo was decided upon at the
weekly luncheon of the chamber
Wednesday noon.
Wilton C. Jackson suggested that
chamber of commerce members col-
leot the necessary money from the
merchants and turn It into a special
fund, from which it would be paid
for expenses. Heretofore, the money
has been collected by the Owyhee
Riding club members and used
largely for paying the cowboys' pur­
ses.
Loyd Adams, a member of the rid­
ing club board of directors, said the
new plan meets the approval of his
organization. He added, however,
that the riders would be glad to help
solldt If they were needed.
Adams said the club could “ put
the rodeo on a paying basis If it had
the crowds". He pointed out that
700 more admissions a night would
pay the $2000 that the merchants
have been contributing annually for
the event. O f course, the increased
atttendance would not cause an In­
crease in the cost of staging the
rodeo.
Lynn Snodgrass, an active member
of the rodeo committee, said “In ­
asmuch as we were late In getting
started, the chamber of commerce
assistance in the solicitations would
help us. We need to be at work on
the grounds We need all the rid­
ing club workers on the grounds to
get them ready for the show.
"The rodeo is on a paying basis.
We have never lost money. We have
been putting the money back into
the rodeo grounds. We are fortun­
ate to have an outstanding rodeo
man like Harley Tucker working
here on percentage. Except for the
shareholders, we are pretty well
paid up out there. We have the best
show in the valley, but people don’t
know it. If we could get that stand
full we would make money”.
Thomas O. Jones, chamber presi­
dent. said he will appoint a com­
mittee to work with the riding club
after this year’s rodeo to draft a
satisfactory financial plan for the
event.
J. L. Herrtman told the group be­
fore Mr. Adams talked that he is
in favor of the formation of a rodeo
association, to be headed by leaders
of the chamber of commerce and
riding club. Later he said "I would’
like to see us keep on putting money
into the rodeo fund. These riding
club men have put In many hours
of work that are worth a lot of
money. If we had no revenue from
the celebration like some of the
other towns In the valley that stage
celebrations we would have to pay
more".

side La Orande. he may obtain an
application for a social security ac­
count number, Form 88-5, from any
