The Malheur Memorial hospital nursing borne addition is in grave danger ot falling by the wayside. And, at best, if con structed, is due to be changed materially form the original plans for the building, equipment and grounds. This came to light in the board meeting at the hospital last night. The construction bids were opened Wednesday of last week and the low bid figures were much higher than anticipated and way beyond available funds. This shortage is at least 365,000 and does not include alternate “A” (cool screens) and alternate “B” (parking lot) in the approximate amount of 311,000. ----------------------------------------___ be built and equipped with the funds available.

PLANS GO AWRY This total of $450,116 was sufficient, according to archi tect's estimate, to construct the building, pay for approxi mately $50,000 in equipment, plus their fee of $18,000 and the bond attorney fees in the amount of approximately $6,- 000. But the low base bld of $444,995, would use all the money with the exception of $5,000. It appears that the estimates were very unrealistic, leaving the hospital board with this dilemma. If the project should be drop ped the district would still owe approximately $18,000 fees for the architects and $6,000 for the attorneys. And Tuesday night they had no plans for meeting these costs. Six firms from Nampa, Cald well and Baker submitted bids ranging from the low of Van Auker Construction of Cald well of $444,995 to a high of $504,643 by Nelson Bros, of Baker. The median, eliminat ing the highest, was $456,351 and the average $467,000.

ANOTHER HARVEST SCENE. These piles of barley are only a small portion of those on the ground at the Farmers Feed and Seed plant in Nyssa. According to Plant Manager Rulon Trost, it has been estimated that the piles of grain contain around 4,000 tons, or 8,000,000 pounds, or about 133,333 bushels. Trost could not be reached prior to presstime Wednesday for the total tons of grain stored in the warehouse, but the outside piles represent the overflow—so this year's harvest must have been a very successful one, and it is nearly over for 1967.— Journal photo. This may not be a very imposing scene and shows very little of the operations of the Nyssa plant of Idaho Canning company. But it shows where the 500-600 tons of sweet corn processed daily by the plant starts. The two tractors push the corn onto one or both of the conveyor belts carrying it into the plant for husking, trimming and made ready for the finest canned sweet corn in the country. A sample of each load is tested after being dumped to determine if it shall be used for cream style or whole kernel. The company is running two ten hour shifts, employs near 400 people and has a $30-$50 thousand payroll each two weeks. Manager Bob Moss, Payette, says the corn continues to be of the finest quality and weather conditions are real fine. If weather remains normal the crop will be pro cessed about the 18th of September.
