Grasty indicated the brochure would go to the printers within a couple of weeks. Orland Mayer, director of indus trial development for Idaho Power Co., Boise, is compiling the brochure of 22 or more pages: Measuring ap proximately 10x12 inches in size, the l front oover most likely will carry a reproduction o f the Old Oregon Trail centennial celebration Aug. 2.

Sharply declining market quota tions slowed shipments of potatoes from the Nyssa rail center during the past week, but not sufficiently to cut the gain in the number of cars shipped during the same period a year ago. Tom Jones. Union Pacific fre ig h t; agent, revealed that, as of Tuesday night, 161 cars of spuds were shipped from Nyssa during the past week j as compared to 123 in 1951. This is down from movements of the week before, however, when 249 cars o f | potatoes were waybilled from here. The market started declining last Saturday, after a steady advnce from the first of the harvesting sea son. The end of spud shipments has not been reached, according to Jones, who said growers, many of whom have not started digging, are holding their crops for a rising mar ket. To date, 1,655 cars of spuds have been shipped from here, a gain of 243 cars over 1951 for the same per iod. Onion harvesting is under way, with six cars being shipped from this area during the past week. Aug. 15 marked the first car shipment of the crop that promises to be heavy .in yield and high in quality. Twenty-two cars of wheat left Nyssa last week, bringing the total shipment for the season to 124 cars. This is a gain o f 39 cars over the "O P E R A T IO N CORN H A R V E S T” same period in 1951. was in full swing this week, with Adding four cars of cattle, the farmers working long hours to keep •total freightage shipped by rail from cannery machinery humming.

AUGUST 21. 1952 Spud Shipping Hit By Slow Market; Onions Coming In An 80-mile-an-hour dash from Baker to Nyssa by Mr. and Mrs. John A Kerby last .Thursday after noon is credited with saving the life o f their six-year-old daughter, Julia Ann, only to have her succumb to polio-encephalitis five days later at Malheur Memorial hospital. The child was reported by Dr. L. A. Maulding, attending physician, to be unconscious and with a stoppage o f breathing when admitted to the hospital. Immediate placement in a respirator served to restore breath ing 20 minutes later. She was thought to be out of dan ger and was in a semi-coma condi tion up to an hour o f death on Mon day Hers was the second death from polio in the local hospital. The other was a 29-year-old mother ol Payette, who died a little more than a week ago. Dr. Maulding said the Kerby chile died of the sleeping sickness type of polio, or polio-encephalitis. Thh type, he said, is an involvment of the nervous system of the brain. It is fatal in 75 to 90 percent of the cases, he said, but if there is a re recovery it usually Is complete and without serious after-effects. Only three patients, two girls and a boy, all five years of age, are now confined to the local hospital with polio. Th ey were declared by Dr. Maulding to be out of danger. One other boy, 2t4 years old, is in the hospital for observation, but no diagnosis has been made of his con dition. Dr. Maulding warned that, al though but few cases have been re ported during the past week, the polio epidemic state has not been lifted. It requires six weeks without reported cases before the area can be declared out of the epidemic class, he said.
