Alfred Wood of Odell made the Gla
cier office a pleasant visit Saturday.
Mr. Wood is an old timer on the coast
He crossed the plains in 1853 and spent
ten years in the minis in California.
Utter he came to idano and nai ueen
through nearly all the mining excite
ments occurring In eastern Oregon,
Idaho and Washington. He is a staunch
old republican and voted for John C.
Fremont when he was in California,
when it was worth the price of admis
sion to be able to put a republican bal
lot in the box. Mr. Wood says they
had a big black sheep tied up at the
polls and a banner fastened to it bear
ing the words, "Fremont's wooly horse."
Mr. Wood has been living in Hood
River 17 years and has been a subscrib
er nearly all the years that the Glacier
has been published. Ho has the high
est praise for our predecessor, the only
objection being that he didn't vote as
he shot. Mr. Wood is past 75 years of
age, and is hale and hearty, the rough
ing it of his early days seems to have
had no ill effects upon his rugged con
stitution. He lias seen wonderful
changes in the West as it has developed
from a savage covered wilderness to a
thriving, bustling, civilized country.

The Glacier man took a stroll np in

the old Armour place now- owned by
W. Anderson. This is one of the
finest stock and hay farms in the Bel
mont district and is equally as good lor
fruit under the intelligent management
of Mr. Anderson. He has some of the
finest strawberries and rasplrnes the
Glacier man has ever seen. Ho is also
interested in raising pigs. His orchard
is seeded to clover and he has 111 fine
shouts and a brood sow wading in clover
to their backs and they are all looking
thrifty and will bring linn a neat sum
this fall. Mr. Anderson hassome clover
and timothy almost waist high in his
meadow. There is no reason why our
farmers cannot raiBO all the hay we
need here instead of sending the money
out of the country for an inferior lot of
stuff that is often unfit to feed to stock.
