w HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAYJBEPTEMBER 15, 1904. CORRESPONDENCE. ODELL. A dancing party was given by the or der of Lion in the hall, last Saturday night, that proved a success socially and financially. The net proceeds are to be given towards the purchase of an oriian (or the lodge. At 12 o'clock the dance waa cloted and aupper wag served, which was furnished by the lady mem bers of the lodge. A number of grey headed boys were present, and all went merry. Odell is on the map. H. 8. Galligan drove swiftly by, Sun day morning, on his way to the Ashing grounds near the falls. Hit long fishing rod waa conspicuous, and as he sped by he engaged some fish to us. Kince which time lie has not been sighted. Mr. Vanderbilt of Beulah Land re ports his improvements almost com pleted, which consist of an addition to his house, a new barn and woodshed, the piping of water into his house, and other numerous and valuable changes about the place. Mr. Vanderbilt is a wide-awake, progressive citizen and a valuable acquisition to our section, pos sessing means with which to improve his ranch according to his tatte. There is room for others of his type. Union apple pickers are on their an-, nual tour packing the famous apples for market. Mr. Copple and Mr. Ehrc !itrtninftd them last week. Thev are uninvited guests hut nevertheless wel come. Mr. Strong, who last spring bought land from It. R. Tucker, has (or some time past been hauling lumber for a new house and barn. He is building a house 28x28 feet and a large barn. He is located one-half mile west of It. C. Crockett and in a fine apple bolt, but as his inclination runs toward dairying, no doubt he will make some experiments along that line. His money was made from the dairy business, and it is not new to him. William Ehrck, M. I). Odell andll.C. Crockett last week appraised the prop erty of the late Daves Divers. The Divers home is a valuable piece of prop erty and will no doubt bring a good fig ure under the hammer. Da mo rumor has it that another store building will be commenced this week iu Odull. Competition is the life of trade, and doubilecs another store will increase the trade. Come along. The air is full of matrimonial rumors, but some way they don't materialize. The Early Crawford peach has been in evidence for week, selling as low as 14 cents at the ranch. Hits is a good peach season, and the f.ast Hide pro duces the very Ixjst quality. In a Dos received from Mr. Waterbury, grown on the Hooth place, a 20-pound box con tained only 64 peaches. They were de licious, a sample of which can be seen in the economy jar at the Little White Store. V. V. Willis, principal of the Odell school, is comfortably housed in the new cottage built by Charles Davis. Last week Mr. Dano of Hood River was out this way with Dr. Laraway and his son Ralph of Iowa, Mr. Oakes of Oklahoma and Mr. Hartman of Wis consin. They were looking the valley over with a view of investing. The doc tor has already purchased land and the other members of the party are likely to follow his example. The arguments for this valley have long since been made, and it requires little time to render a iust verdict. The case is with the peo ple, and strangers quickly make up their miuds, hence the spirit of progress and development that is so manifest both in town and country side. &very Dries. laid In the walls of the magnificent and substantial buildings now in progress in town is an unanswerable argument in favor of the bright, prosperous future of Hood Ktver valley. Rev. J. W. Jenkins and daughter, with some friends, were guests of L. D. Boyed and wife last Friday. Mr, Jen kins has a small tract of land adjoining the Boyed place that he has been offer ing for sale, but after looking it over and noting developments in the neigh borhood, has concluded to keep it and plant it to apples. Sure thing games are seldom found, but there is nothing safer than an apple orchard of the right kind of varieties. Mr. Talbot of Memphis, Tenn., uncle of Mrs. Littlefleld of Fine Grove, was a caller at Odell last week. He is im pressed with the West and enjoying a well-earned vacation. A cousin of John Lawless, from Cal ifornia, spent Sunday with John. John has had the California fever, but his cousin advised him to stick to Hood Kiver. He was delighted with Hood River valley, as is the verdict of all who investigate the conditions from an in telligent point of view. The Little White Store people will commence this week moving 150 cords of A I four-foot oak wood. Now is your chance, if you want some of the best oak wood in the valley. Not a doughty cord in the lot. Live oak wood is scarce WHITE SALMON. Rev. Iewis, the new pastor of the Congregational church of this place, was here last week from ilerkeley.t al acquainting himself with the members of his Mock. Key Lewis and his family will occupy the new parsonage next to tne cnurcn. The White Salmon public school opened iu the new building last Mon day, with an enrollment of 21 pupils in the upper room and 84 In the lower room. Professor C L. Colburn, for merly Klickitat county's superintend-1 eut, Is principal of the school.and Miss Georgia Job union, who gave eminent allafacUtm last year, la again Instruc tor in the primary grades. The total enrollment la expected to reach 00 or more later in the fall. There are about W children of school age Iu the dis trict.

When the barn is com pleted, it la reported that the famous bear hunter will entertain the people or tne neignooruooa wun a social hop. Miss Emma Clan ton, school superin tendent of Klickitat county, spent sev eral days last week visiting the schools of the western part of the county. She expressed herself as very favorably Im pressed with the hue Salmon soli (Mil T. F. and A. J. Slieltler are down from Sherman county on a visit to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver C Dean. The Washington hotel Is rapid! nearlng completion. It is a tine build ing and would be a credit to any city. Uarpeutert are how adding wide verau das that cover the building oil all sides. The yard is filled with oak trees, and a reservoir near by will supply plenty of water to keep a green lawn. With the attractive location this hostelry prom lees to afford, the management should have no trouble in keeping it filled with visitors from Portland during the Hummer months. The large number of Portland people who annuallyspehd their vacation at White Salmon is sur prising, and it add no little sum to the per capita circulation of the com munity. The most successful and happy so cial event In White Salmon circles was the entertainment at the new school house a week ago last Frlduy night. 8. W. Condon in a neat speech told of the work of the directors In securing the new building, and Professor Colburu spoke of duties of the school teacher. There was imported Ice cream from Portland, delicious cuke and splendid coffee prepared by the women of White Salmon, and after the supper the young people sient the remainder of the even ing in dancing. The receipts of the evening's entertainment added 58 to the building fund, while in addition to this some fO were promised by sub scriptions. While Sulmon iieopleare justly proud of the new building. No finer one can be found in the county. The dis trict was bonded lust spring for $1500, and by popular subscription this build inn sum was increased to (1800. The carpenter work was done by contract ors Kverhart A Roscgiant, and Itjmnsl be said that these gentlemen 1il a line piece of work. It is really reniurkable that so much was nwomiilished, and such satisfactory result oMiilned with the limited amount or luuils at uie disposal of the directors. To the tireless and unremitting efforts of Mr. Condon, member of the board of dirgctors, Is due the thanks or the community. Through him, possi bly more than to any one else, the movement for a new modern school house culminated In tangible results. There are those who stoutly opposed his efforts then, lint they will yet ac knowledge their gratitude fur his pul lie services to fie district and the com munity. The building Is so constructed that as the district grows umi no.n- needed addilions may be added to tne north side of the house without spoil, lug the architectural beauty of the aiMminnt Iteiieuth the building Is a large baeeinenl.whlch may at unytime be utilized to uccomiiiodate classes.
