Now that it is winter and
vacation time on the farm,
Robert Cornett, first settler on
the Owyhee irrigation project
finds time to come to town and
get acquainted.
He reports
that he has 70 acres seeded tn
rye from which he anticipates a
fair yield next year.
He is
dry farming a season to get
his land in good shape for
water from the Owyhee reser­
voir in the spring of 1933.
Cornett is the first settler
on the Owyhee.
He built a
small house on his 160 acre
tract north of Owyhee School.
A well has been drilled and other
improvements made.
About
80 acres is cleared and he will
clear another 80 this spring.
He may sell the second 80
as he finds that 160 acres is
almost too much for one man.
50 YEARS AGO
After many years of hopeful
and patient waiting, the settlers
under the High-Line are now
beginning to see a change for
a brighter future. Everything
seems to be pointing to the
possibility of the early con­
struction of the Owyhee project,
which, if constructed, will lift
a heavy weight from the heart
of many an idle man, as well
as those who own land in the
district.
If the work on the
project is commenced at an
early date, it will be not only
a welcome stimulus to Nyssa,
but the entire Snake River Val­
ley will be benefited and room
for thousands of new homes
will be made possible for home
seekers.
If approved and completed,
the Owyhee project will supply
water for approximately 150,000
acres of land, of which 100,000
acres are in Malheur County
Oregon near Nyssa, and 50,000
near Homedale, Idaho.

Rules of conduct, on the
street, from Grandma Burgers
Cookbook of the year 1800,
sent in by Mrs. Dale Witt.
When crossing the pave­
ment, the lady should raise her
dress with the right hand, a
little above the ankle.
To
raise the dress with both hands
is vulgar, and can be excused
only when the mud is very
deep.
A gentleman should give his
seat to any lady who may be
standing
in a public con­
veyance.
For this favor she
should thank him, which cour­
tesy he should acknowledge by
a slight bow.
A true lady will go quietly,
unobtrusively about her busi­
ness when on the street, never
seeking to attract the attention
of the opposite sex, at the
same time recognizing acquain­
tances with a courteous bow,
and friends with pleasant words
of greeting.
No gentleman will smoke
when walking with, or stand­
ing, in the presence of a lady
on the street. He should re­
move the cigar from her pre­
sence entirely, even though per­
mission be granted to continue
smoking.
In a street car or omnibus,
the passengers who are seated
should strive to give seats to
those who are standing, render­
ing such accommodations as
they would themselves desire
under similar circumstances.
