CORRESPONDENCE. , ODELL. $ With the passing of the Fourth of July, the spirit of patriotism in ti e hearts of true Americans runs high. The music of the band and the popping of firecrackers in the hands of the small hoy tends to heighten it and it is well that It should be thus, and It always will tie, for the love of country Is akin and next to the mother's love. Mont of our people who did not at tend a public celebration took their families and lunch baskets and went to the falls, or to some retreat In the depths of the forest and spent a quiet, pleasant day. The writer of these notes and wife received the sad Intelligence last Fri day of the death of a dear sister in Yamhill county, and taking the early morning train in company with Broth er Troy Hhelley Hrrlved at the house of mourning lale In the evening. Our sister, Mrs. Mary L. Hilton, widow of N. K, Sltton who died about two years ago, was u pioneer of and spent her whole lire on the border. When the funeral hour came on Sunday al U a. m , there were over 70 carriages carrying friends and relations, who accompanied the remains to the last restlim ulace ou a hill overlooking the vallev of North Yamhill. Mrs. Bitlon was a devoted mother as well as a de vout christian, as was demonstrated In her every day life' and attested by scores of relations una menu's uunng the last sad parting hours. Kev. Co berg and A. J. llunsaker of McMinn villo olllelaled. The floral offerings were profuse and of the choicest vari eties, being presented by loving hands from dill'erent points In the state. There were children preseul from three dill'erent families: her own, those of her first husband, James I.. Jaughlin. and those of her second husband and first wife. Mr. and Mm. N. K. Hilton, and five children being the fruit of the second marriage with .N. N. hiiion. Then there were grandchildren and oreat Grandchildren, all anxious to " pay a lust tribute of love to the mem ory of one whose whole life work had beer, a work of love and sacrifice, No more fitting monument could lie reared over the grave of any one than was manifest on this occasion, and as an unworthy brother we pause and drop a tear over the bier, containing one who was both mother and sister to us, as well as mother to my motherless little ones during the last oceauu. There are left of the Hhelley fumlly, which was Mrs. Hilton's maiden name, four brothers and two sisters,, whose hearts are shadowed with grief, as fol lows: lion. J. M. Hhelley of Kugene, Rev.

The spring crops In the valley of the Willamette are exceedingly short on account of the absence of ruin during tne spring season, nut wtttiai the coun try looks itood to one who has snenl the best portion of his Ufa there. Not- wtthstaudlng it was a sad message thai called us back, yet to walk over the same consecrated places of childhood the same old meadows fragrant with the new-mown hay. to linger and listen to the musioof the pcacetul waters of ;ine same old lirooit, men looking up ward and beyond the evergreen hills to Uio silent, towering, grand, snow capped sentinels nohitlnir onward. piercing the very heavens, pointing us to that place beyond and above all earthly troubles, where our tears ure dried and where the scales of justice balance. To one whose early life was Sieni in iiregon, and who has been culled to other tiluees for Years and then returns to the old haunts, there is an Indescribable fellowship in the .rmn.l ..1.1 It ....

Perry Well is doing the carpenter work. An unusual amount of good work has been done on our road this season. The big 011 at the west approach to tbe river bridge has cut down the town bill nntil it is no longer the terror of teamster with heavy loads. The horse trough placed against the cliff at that point i also a fine thing andt It 1 to be hoped that it water will never be allowed to dry up. The steep pull at the Reynolds place is now being diminished by mean of a widened and elevated grade at the foot. The graveling of tbe long East Hide grade, which wa made possible by our special road tax, I a most satis f&c tory piece of work. It may "squash ' $ little during the rainy season, but tbe foundation for a permanent good road is laid and repair will be comparatively inexpensive. .

The need of another room at Pine Grove school has been apparent for some time and by a vote of 19 to eight at tbe special school meeting last Hat urday evening, it was decided to ele vate the present building and make a large single room beneath. This will not only make ample school room but will make a fine hall (or Christina tree and other entertainments.
