HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1904.
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,

The widow of Charles K. Hltton the
oldest son of N. K. Hltton, and who
died several years ago, was present to
lend sympathy to the bereaved ones.

readers for such sn extended notice as
the nbove, but the only one 1 offer Is
that such lives make up a largo part of
tne History or Ueur old Oregon, and
consequently should bo carefully

our lair and progressive state.
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 .... It.. ....I
ley acetic. There is an inspiration In
all of these UDliftlinf scenes that must
be felt for It is beyond the power of the
pen or artist's brush to describe, , The
pioneer of Oregon is to he honored In
life and his memory cherished after
tioain, lor ins niavery and courage In

It. J. Tucker, who Is connected with

returning from a trip to Willow Flat
and Puke's Valley. Although Mr.
Harbison has spent years In Hood lUv-
er valley, It was bis first trip to Duke's
Valley. He Is thoroughly Imbued with
the thought that It is a irreat nrlvileire
to lie permitted to live in Hood Kiver

report of his brother Sam, who owns a
largo hirm In l.lnn county near Tan

Hay is turning out well and the

The Glorious Fourth has come and
gone. There being no celebration Here
most of our people spent the day qui
etly, In small parties, by going back
into tne Hill country. oine ceieuraieq
in Hood Kiver, some few went to Tho
Dalles, and so fur as we nave Heard,
everyone came home satisfied. During
tne evening one could see ine any
rocket and itomaii candle lighting up
the heavens. We heard or one in
stance where the supply of firework
was kept loo near tue scene ar action
and became prematurely discharged,
causing a . little excitement for a short
time and depriving the party of the
pleasure of firing one by one, ' . ,
Your correspondent with a small
party spent Hie day on the headwaters
of Mosfer creek. Having the crack
fishermen of the country in the party
we feasted on the speck ltd beauties
until all were satisfied, and during the
evening wended our way homewards,
where we spent the time exploding
fireworks. If you want to spend a

Hay balers are much in evidence
these days, making almost house to
house stops, as almost every farmer ' i
raising more or less. Hinee C. it. Hone
commenced to supply the East Side
with irrigation water two years ago this
portion of the valley has niailc rapid
progress toward supplying sll the forage
needed. M r. Hone has given the East
Sale good service, for which we are duly
thankful. Next season lateral ditches
and pipe lines will be completed which
will he aimtutautly aoie to supply all
of this side of the valley, and in a few
years iwrhapa sooner wo confidently

enriching the meadows And supplying
fertilizer lor our orchards, as well as

ey. ... . . . ;
At a meeting of the tsx-navers df
Pine Grove school district held last
Saturday evening, It w as voted to double
theeapacitv of our already commodious
school building. It is the .intention to
add another story which, wflen flnUhed,
will relieve the .crowded conditiotf
our school has endured for the past
school year. The 9th and 10th grades
will be added, which ought to give ns
on of tbe best schools in the - county.
Three teacher will be employed. "

George Robinson is building ' an ad
dition to his residence and otherwise
improving his property. 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 old slough of des.
pind near Sherman Young's place hai
been made firm with something more
substantial than "twenty thousand
cart loads of wholesome instructions.'!
The Hears A Porter hills have been
graded down and across the ravine ele
vated tooie four or flv feet with a
heavy layer of gravel - over ail. Much

Our county roads, as usual, are crowd
ed with scrub stock. First class fence
are needed to keep the starved brute
out of fields and orchard and if a gate
1 left open a half minute, some mangy
critter dodges through, A herd law is a
crying necessity, .
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. The esti
mated cost is in the neighborhood of
$1200 including all furnishing and a
furnace. Money on long time at low

It Is true, as was mentioned in last
week's Glaoicr, that top-grafted and
budded trees have turned out very
poorly this season in this section. Cut
worms are deserving of a good deal ol
censure, but they are mil wholly to
blunie ior the trouble.- It I noticeable
that work done by orchardist them
selves or by some painstaking neighbor,
who did not know any "secrets" is
making the best showing. 'Early Aug
