Hrtrrett District. !
iUkkktt riu.Mun.
This is the Barrett district. Why is
It so called?
Because one of its earliest and best
citizens was Dr. P. U. Barrett. It was
named for him.
What are. its peculiar advantages
over other sections?
lis extraordinary fertility of soil; its
adaptability to the raising of all classes
of fruits, cereals and vegetables; its
location being close to and along the
timber line, it Is protected from high
winds and - thus' becomes one of the
great apple-producing sections and is
second to ho locality in the raising of
t he straw berry which has made Hood
River valley famous.
Has it any other special features?
Yes. It is settled by one of the most
intelligent and progressive classes of
people in t he great Northwest, whose
beautiful homes are surrounded by all
the modern appliances that in this age
make farm life so attractive. They
also enjoy all the advantages Ihatcoulil
obtain even in t he city. A line graded
sihool, with three of the best and most
popular teachers in the county, whose
(jtialiricalions and efficiency have been
most favorably coniiimiited upon by the
school authorities of Wasco county.
Bariett's spiritual needs are looked after
by two church organizations, the
Christian and Methodist, both having
large and commodious church build
ings, and both being supplied with act
ive, intelligent and hard-working pas
tors, whose work in this vicinity is evi
denced by the fact that nearly all of
our people have become church goers,
and vice and intemperance are perfect
strangeis in the ili-tricl. Y"e are also
Convenient loa general store; there is a
telephone line, a rural lice postal de

vice; nn irrigating svstem owned and
controlled within the borders of our
district, In-sides another large ditch
controlled by Hood River people, thus
assuring us ot plenty ot water for irri
gating purposes. Besides, the purest
and lst of water can be obtained in
unlimited quantities by digging from
live to 20 feet in any portion of the dis
trict. Have you any special attractions
that other sections lack?
Yes. The most hospitable people;
the most beautiful girls; the homeliest
bachelors (one, at least); t lie best and
prettiest babies; the most progressive
female politicians; the best live stock of
all kinds; and last, but not least, the
most renowned bear hunter on the
Pacific coast. What moredoyou want?

About 30 friends of Mr. and Mrs. H.
C. Crockett gave them a surprise party
last Thursday evening.and a very pleas
ant evening was spent.
W. II. Sears has fitted up Mb barn
and converted it into a hall, and is hav
ing dancing parties there. Last Friday
nit'ht he save a dance. He has a piano
on the platform for the musicians, and
everything in Bhip shape for a good time.
The social side of life is somewhat
neglected at Odell. There should lie a
hall built here. In such event lodges
would probably be organized, besides
there is a demand for a place for public
meetings. If some one would start the
enterprise and incorporate, it would be
an easy mattur to get the necessary cap
ital with which to build.
C. O. Roberts returned Sunday from
Portland where he had been for a week
in attendance on the stock and fruitcon
ventions. He reports a good time and
thinks permanent good will result to the
state from the gathering together of
such important conventions.
Two parties were here Sunday looking
over the valley after having spent the
week in Portland. The work of the
Fruit Growers' convention led up to
their visit here and they were highly
pleased with the valley.
The Davenport mill at Charlie Davis'
place will start up, next Monday, for a
short run. Tlie buzz of the saw will be
a welcome sound again.
F. L. Massee and sons have a contract
with C. L. Rogers to do some grubbing
on Willow Flat.
Mr. Black, one of the purchasers of
the Wyman place, who has been absent
for several weeks for medical treatment,
returned last Wednesday much im
proved. A nice picture of the Odell corner can
now be seen at the Little White Store,
showing the store.the warehouse, Behool
house and church. It is the work of
young Mr.ColliiiB and is very creditable.
Grubbing, cutting wood and clearing
up land is the order of the day here.
There is no excuse for idleness in this
neighborhood as there is work galore.
The road question is the absorbing
topic now. There is plenty of talk, but
talk is cheap. The only way to build
roads is to go to work and do it. It is
my opinion that the bonding system is
the only feasable plan, butitisqthtstion
able whether this could he done. When
the roads become actually impassable
then it will become a necessity to fix
them.
Hay is now being drawn from town to
supply the country. The usual order
of things seems to be revesed here. But
be it said to the credit of Hood River
valley, that there are few places that
could stand such pressure. It is usually
the case that the country suppl es the
town market. But present indications
point to the time at no distant date
when the valley will supply the demand
for hay. Where five tons can be cut
from an acre, surely present conditions
should not long prevail.
Frank Neff is getting out a lot of oak
wood on his place a mile west of Odell.
This morning a Yellow Hammer lit in
the topmost branches of the grand old
oak at the Odell corner.-xThe bird had
evidently been held in captivity before,
for it had a cord tied around its neck
about two feet long with a bunch of pa
per tied fast to it. As the school chil
dren gathered they discovered it, and
plucky Alfred Dethmau climbed the
tree after much difficulty and released
the captive. The string was cut and
the frightened bird flapped its wings and
flew away. Alfred was the hero of
hour.
