CORRESPONDENCE:
ODELL.
Mr. Clarke, who recently purchased
15 acres one-half mile weeUof Odell, in
busy at work on his new home.
A large number of people panned
Odell from Mt. Hood Monday on their
way 10 i lie Danes as witnesses In tneijlie Dalles. Those not having the
Williams murder trial.
William Khrck had the misfortune to
lose one horse of his valuable team.
Good horses are valuable and it will
require $150 to replace this animal. ,
The Jolly days of strawberry picking
will soon lie onrthe forerunner ol which
is tents already by the roadside as well
as dancing platforms half shielded by
the pines along the west side road
These are the days when outings and
picnics are in order. Come out to Odell
and on up to the falls and see the
grandeur and beauty as displayed in
nature. Lunch baskets were in evi
dence last Sunday.
adie Young, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. B. T. Young, who has been ill for
so long, is now convalescent. We are
very glad to learn of this for Hadie is a
good, ohedieut child and is the flower
of the home.
We note inanystranKerson the streets
of Hood Kiver, and if the prices paid
for t tie land that has changed hands
recently, near Odell, is a pointer for the
future, we would say to prospective
purchasers, hurry up a little for "he
who hesitates is lost."
Prof. V. V. Willis, who is principal
of the public school at Arlington, spent
Saturday and Sunday at Odell. At the
end of another week the professor will
move his fatuity to Odell for the sum
mer, and if they like the valley will
locate permanently and buy a home.
We welcome such men as the professor
as Odell will be the gainer.
The service furnished by the rural
phone is not at all satisfactory. With
a sixteen party line and eavesdroppers
along the line with receivers down it is
almost impossible to transact business.
Who is at fault 1 do not know, but it is
no to the coiiinanv to correct certain
evils and improve the service, and give
us what they promised when the line
waa organized.
Death visited one of the homes of the
Little White Store Monday and tore
from the bosom of the parents, the
infant son of Mr. and Airs. R. D,
Shelley. At such times it is dilflcult to
render satisfactory sympathy, for time
alone heals such wounds. ' Hope and
faith points upward to a time, some day
and somewhere, when all wrongs will
be righted and where tears will be dried
and all earthly sorrows effaced. To all
such w ho are bowed down with grief
we beg to say : "Be of good cheer. Look
forward and not backward, and in God's
good time all things will be equalized,
but the scales of justice do not balance
here.

Graduating Exercises.
Graduating exercises' were held at the
Pine Grove schoolhouse Saturday even
ing. A class of four girls and an equal
n umber of boys, having completed the
work of the eighth erade and success
fully passed the examinations, received
ineir diplomas,
. The evening was a pleasant one and a
large and appreciative audience was
present to listen to the carefully pre
pared essays and orations by members
of the class.
The exercises opened with a song of
welcome Dy a number of school girls,
and an invocation by Rev. W. L. Dil-
lingur. Then 'followed the essays and
orations, interspersed hero and there
with musical selections.
-as tve uo," ny Liueiia Hunt, was a
very meritorious effort. In "A View
From My Window," Lizzie Mohr pointed
out in an interesting way some of the
natural charms of the Pine Grove coun
try,
"Ten Years Hence," by Elmer Board-
man, was well conceived and rendered.
Nellie Perry's subject was "American
Progress," and showed careful thought
in us preparation, as uiu likewise Kaiph
uraway s "opportunities lor Young
ivxpiorers. uur ineignrjoniood, b
Edith Winchell and "Progress of Japan''
by Bliss Clark, were worthy and credit
able productions.
Following the last oration, Ralph
Ordway, in a neat and appropriate
speech, anu on nenait ot the class pre
sented to Miss Riddell a beautiful cake
basket as a token of regard and apprec
iation for ber faithful services. This
number was not on the program and
was indeed a surprise to Miss Riddell.
The diplomas were then presented by
Acting Superintendent J. T. Neff, a
parting song was sung and the exercises
closed with the extending of congratu
lations to the graduates, who had ac
quitted themselves so worthily.
One member of the class, Alphonse
Mohr, was unable to 1 present on
account of sickness.
Th people of Pine Grove are justly
proud of their school and vie with each
other in loyalty thereto. The excellent
work of their teacher is appreciated by
all.
The large and attentive audience,
including every member of the board
and the clerk, showed the interest taken
in the school.

To the Editor)
The art it I r which created such a sensation lb
our community wet-k ano last stundav morn.
Ins I am led to believe was the direct result of
whiskey as It Is In the majority rsuch cases.
If Hood Kiver had been as free from Intoxi
cants aa manyplacealo theHonth there would
probably have been no such disturbance al
the church or public highway.
It Is wrong to suppress the truth when It is
so important that the youth should be made
fully to understand what a power for evil In
toxicant may have, and bow necessary Ills
for moral, spiritual and flnunclal prosperity
to have It eliminated as a beverage from
every district In tlie state.
To be brief, any article which Is so effective
to extract poisons whisky, Is not a favor

- ' Spray Your Trees. .
Now is the accepted time. Delay is
dangerous. This warm weather is, the
most favosabie conamon ior me active
0ierations of the codlin moth. At this
time the moth nAtkes its first deposit of
-eggs and the most favorable place is in
the calyx or blossom of the apple or
pear, and great care should be taken to
have the calyx of every apple filled
with the spray after the blossom falls
and before the calyx closes. Too moeh
attention cannot be given to the matter
of preparing materials. The slaking of
the lime is where many make failures,
this operation causing no end of trouble.
To slake the lime so as to put it in the
best "possible condition only enough
water should be but on it to keep it
from burning. If too much water ia
put on and the temperature of the
slaking lime is kept too low it will not
slake well, leaving a large amount of
core. After it is well slaked it should
be thinned and thoroughly strained1' so
as to remove every particle of grit, dirt,
sticks etc., which would clog the nozzle
or pump valves. The arsenite of statu
is made by putting say two pounds of
carbonate of soda in two gallons of
water with one pound of white arsenic
and boil until it forms a clear liquor.
It is best, however, when it can be done
to buy the prepared arsenite of soda
from some one who prepares in large
? Identities as they usually have better
acilities for preparing the arsenite and
consequently will have lietter results.
Then take one and one-half pints of
this arsenite of soda and six pounds" of
lime slaked as .above to 50 gallons of
water, or better still, instead of the
lime water, use 50 gallons of modified
Bordeaux mixture.
The next consideration of importance
is the pump. The best of material is
but wasted if not properly applied and
this cannot be done with a pixir pump.
It is falsa economy . to buy a cheap
liimsy pump. Get the strongest and
best pump of a capacity to suit your
need. Nothing but the best is good
enough. ' ;
After the first spraying it should be
repeated every ten days or two weeks,
and when the apples assume some size,
particularly at thinning time, a careful
watch should be kept up throughout
the entire season. In no industry does
the old maxim of "eternal vigilance"
so aptly apply as in that of growing
apples.
In short, the following' rules strictly
adhered to will certainly bring succcbh
