HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1904. CORRESPONDENCE ODELL. For mine time there have been ruin ore of tbe organization of a lodge of tbe I. O. O. F. at Odell. There are quite a number or member or the Order In thin vicinity who dexlre a home nearer than tbelr present lodge, to wit Hood River. If those in lerexted will pall at the Little White Store. Mrs. Shelley will take the matter up, and If agree able to them, will submit a proposition to lease them the entire upper story of the ball building at Odell, giving long lease, say Ave years, on such terms as would piobably prove mutually satisfactory. -The ball would be 24x48 reel on tue ouisiae, wun ante-rooms already cut off. Tbe ball could be speedily arranged comfortably for lodge meetings. L. D. Boyed last week closed deal on 40 acres of his home place for a satisfactory cash consideration. This leaves him with only 40 acres of bis original 160 acres, and be says be bos refused an $8,0K) oiler for this 40, upon which his building stand. Mr. Jioyed bas perhaps tbe finest appointed home In East Hood River valley. His bouse Is modern and well furnished, and with an abundance of water he bas the finest lawn in the neighborhood. Mr. Boyed bat set tbe pace for beautifying borne. Have look at It, then go and do likewise. Mr. Egbert of The Dalles was here last week looking tbe valley over for a market for nay. Jiut tlie valley being supplied with a better quality than lie could furnish, I think be returned without making a sale. Mr. Egbert runs a feed yard at Tbe Dalles. The writer has 131 acres of very deslr ' able land for sale at an extremely low figure. It Is cut up Into three tracts or 60, 65 and 28 acres, all abutting upon tbe Mount Hood road, splendidly " Improved and with plenty of natural water. This Is positively the bent bar gain In Hood River valley. For Infor mation call at tbe Little White store. Cbas. Halgbt, an old timer In Oregon from The Dalles, had business here last week. He sold Jobu Lawless a pair of wild bones. I have known Mr. might more than 30 years, having traded horses with him when I was boy, John Lawless is a horse tamer of no mean ability and If you will turn your eyes toward tbe jingling bells of John's wood hauling team this week. you will see these bronchos; but not so wild as mey were last Sunday when lie nrsi Daiterea mera up. The voters of Odell school district, at meeting last Friday, voted to estab lish the ninth grade. This Is as It should be. If this move bad been made few weeks sooner, a number of pupils would have been saved the ex pense of attending school In town. Jiut better late than not at all. At this meeting a proposition .was din cussed concerning the supplying of spring water to in aistrict as wen as other parties who were willing to pay for water for domestic use. '1 his prop osition meets witb my hearty approv al, and I stand ready to aid such an enterprise In every way possible. The creek water, which the school children must now use. Is not pure, and the health of tbe children should be pro tected regardless of tbe expense. It Is estimated that $300 would pipe pure spring water Into the school house and from there It could be easily distributed to a few parties who would gladly pay tbe price of city water. Once estab lished It would soon become a paying proposition financially, besides proving a monument to tbe names of the par . ties founding the enterprise. By all means crowd this matter to a finish, and furnish the children with abso lutely pure water. On Saturday, the 15th Inst., the Order of Lions will give basket social at tbelr ball here. The social gather ings of the Order are becoming a popu lar feature with the "400" of Odell. There Is talent both of a musical and literary character among tbe lodge members, and a fine program will be rendered. The exercises will be public and everybody Is Invited. Come along. At a surprise party last week, Mr. and Mrs. I rank A. Massee entertained a large number of tbelr friends, Includ ing people from Odell and Dukes Val ley. Mr. and Mrs. Massee without atiectatlou proved a charming host and hostess. Their many friends are Indeoted to them for a very, pleasant evening, and wish them success and happiness. C. R. Bone, who frequently swaps lies with tbe Little White store man, baa some very excellent schemes In his bead concerning the future of our fur famed valley of Hood River, which to my mind are praotloal. If he will only consent to my outlining some of them for the publio good, I will gladly do so. So after I press the button and turn the x-ray on him. If they call him Colonel Sellers It will not be my fault. Truly, I believe there will be a won derful tale unfolded for our valley In me near ruture. Ho set your bouse lu order and be ready for it. Work on the new bridge at Tucker's oegau last Aionaay. Charles Pflughaupt and family re turned last Thursday from the hop neius or juarion county, lie reports a short season's pick, but with his large family of pickers be did very well. The party he picked for bad a force of 100 pickers and dried 1)0,000 pounds of bops. At 30 cents, tbe present prloe, it would amount to $27,000. The expense of placing hops on the market will not exoeed seven cents, so allow ing one-fourth off this would net the grower $21,000. Not a had income with bops at tbe present price. The growers are on velvet. But take the years together for the pioneer hop grower of the Willamette valley, and I imagine they aie not much to the good now. The business is hazardous and the crop perishable. Better grow the famous Hood Hiver apple. B. T. Young Informs me that our old neighbor, C. A. Wyman, is In the Tort land sanitarium with inflammatory rneumaiism. ins mentis nere are sorry to learn of this and wish for him a speedy recovery. Like most people who leave Hood River, Mr. Wyman now regrets having sold out here. We are glad to note the substantial character of the valuable brick build ing almost completed In town. Every citizen of our valley should feel Justly proud of the enterprise of the owners of these structures. This kind of im provement is an unanswerable argu ment in favor of the future growth aud prosperity of the town, and adds value to the land in the country. Columns could be written concerning the Improvements of 1904, in town and country, and we await the result of the Glacier's report of the bouse to bouse canvass recently made. Tbe fruit fair, together with the press association, which will soon be with us, means much to Hood River, and I SHggest that we resolve ourselves into a com mittee of one, and each of us extend an Invitation to some distant friend to visit us on that occasion. Art Davidson broke camp at Willow JJt Saturday and returned to bis Hood River home. Mr. Davidson and wife have spent the summer there, white Mr. Davidson whs superintending tbe aeveinpment or tne uaviaaon tiros, land on the flat. CASCADE LOCKS John Cates and Mrs. Yetriek sur prised their friunda here by getting married lant Imirwday- Itiev were married in Portland, but no one sum pectcd it after their return, until the announcement came out in the Portland papers. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson made a trip to l'ortlaiid last Saturday, returning Tuesday. L. A. Clark has rented his house here and moved with liin family to Portland, where they will spend the winter. School opcued at Wyeth last Monday. Miss Noble as teacher. Another teacher will be secured to teach Miss Noble's room here. N. D. Sanforn was at Washoutta! taut week, where he purchased a lot of fruit and vegetables for dmtrilmtion among lus patrons at Cascade Locks. William Butler, postmaster and mer chant at Butler landing, as transact ing business in Cascade Locks during tiie week. MOUNT HOOD. Mrs. Douglas Riggs went to The Dalles last Saturday. Most all of this settlement went to Hood River last Saturday. Sherltr Sexton made a trip lo this part of the world, last Monday, and one of the Mount Hood apple growers went to J lie Dalles Willi lilm. John Rush of Hpokane, Is visiting his brother, II. if. Rush at Mount Hood the last few ituys. Roy Henson took a load of lumber to town lust Monday. J.R.Steele was In town last week on a trade. He tons of excellent buy for sale, and he thinks it will bring him $15 per town. Our school Is progressing nicely. Mr. Neff, the county superintendent, made a visit to the school here lust week. The old hayseeds are beginning to talk about going Into the dairy business In flood Kiver. w by nor; There is no place In the West where clover can be raised as cheaply as It can in Hood Klver. So why not have a creamery to go with our fruit. All people are nut fruit men and all are not dairymen; so it can be divided up a little and make business for all. October came In bright and warm May it so continue. t. Ides and Joe Pelllier have returned from the harvest fields. Tbe directors of tbe Mount Hood hall have the lumber on the ground to complete the building, - The Middle Fork Irrigation Co. had another ditch meeting last Saturday. More meetings than water, we think. William An dross has finished his logging contract for the Mount Hood Mill Co., having put In about two hundred thousand feet on trucks. ' W. M. Cooper, Jhe forest ranger, came down from Lost Lake Saturday. He says It rains almost every day at tne lake, tie also vtates tnat he and Ike Neulelgli are engaged in opening a trail from Lost luke to Bull Ituu lake. He thinks when that Is complete their pay may lie stopped. If so, he says for one, he will stop work for Uncle Samuel. Robert LeaBiire, while rolllnir lovs on his place, mashed his foot and has been currying It lu a sling or the lust weea. The Upper Mount Hortd correspond ent seems to try to mix us up on that bruin hunt. We will state that we were Informed that bruin wus no less than 75 miles away and still running, and to guard against any danger we laid off for another 24 hours; then we went hunting the other wsv, and fol lowed the lead of our Daniui Boone of cougardom, lOoburn.) DUKESVALLEY. The past few days being so warm puts us in mind of summer again. Perhaps this is what they call Indian summer. If it keeps this up we will have to go to irrigating again. O. B. Hartley was doing business in our town lust Friday. Mr. Wright moved on his homestead last week, and says he intends to live there for five years before proving np. That la right. Such people as that de serve a home, but those who are trying to hold homesteads for some other party, or Jor speculation deserve to have their claims jumped. A party of young folks from Dukes Valley ami Odell gathered at tho home of Frank Ma8ee on Willow flat, lust Friday evening ami enjoyed themselves for a few hours with games, music and candy pulling. Everyone enjoyed the process of the candy making, which was done by Mr. Hocra'ft, an expert confec tioner. Everyone went home feeling that the evenimi had been well snent. and hoping for more like it in the near future. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hocraft, Mrs. Redmond, Mr and Mrs. A. T. Dodge, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Dodge, George Walter and Jethro Mas see, Master Willie and Mies Ellen Dodge of Willow Hat and Duke's Valley, and Otto and Willie Ehrck, Mr. Mury McCoy and Fred Crockett of Odell, Our literary society mot la9t Suturduy evening after an adjournment of seven months, and elected the following olll- cers: W. U. Dodson, president; UeorgeJ A. Massey, secretary; J. O. Cameron. treasurer; mark Cameron, sergcant-at arms. A short program was rendered. Motion was made bv W. C. Dodim to change the night of meeting from Sat urday to rrulay evening. Motion was carried. This was done on account of tho Lion's lodge meeting on Saturday evening. There was no debate as tho evening was mostly taken up with bus iness, uur next meeting will be on Kridnv. Oi'tiilu-r 7 Tluii nntuiili) tli neighborhood are cordially invited to come and take part with us. ' Two voting ladies, one of them from Dukes Valley and the other from across tho river, took a trip to Odell lust Fri day with a team and buggy. They got to Odell all right. They wanted to see a couple of young men that were work ing in the field close by. They did not want to hollow at them and they did not want to get out and go to them; so in order to attract their attention they cramped the buggy so short that the wheel caught under the box, and then t hey hollowed good and loud. Of course the young gentlemen came running down to see what was the trouble. It took the boys a long time to extricate that refractory wheel. They finally got things fixed up all rigid, and the girls went home happy ; but we would ad vise them to try some other scheme next time, because it is a terrible strain on the buggy to cramp it so. mi me young man that came to our literary last Saturday evening must think we are rather a tough set up here, for when he came he tied his horse with a chain, took his Jines out and wrapped them in his buggy robe ; took his seat uuaiuou aim wnip and brought them all in the school house, and deposited them by his seat and kept a close watch on them during the evening. You don't need to go to all that trouble, Lloyd, This is not Belmont. When you "me to Duke's Valley just tie your bone with any old thing; leave your things in your buggy; get in and enjoy your self, for we are white, if we do live in the backwoods. BINGEN Last Thursday three loads of cbeese from tbe trout Lake cheese ructory were shipped from Bingen to Portland. Farmers hauling heavy loads do not like to haul to other bindings on' ac count of bad roads. Our hotel man, E. H. Suksdorf, is visiting at Spokane this week. George Tarns, having completed bis fences and buildings on his acre lots, bas gone to Portland to bring up bis chickens. He bas a fine lot of white leghorns, and under his care they will surely help to supply the market. This seems to be a good place for cniciteng. miss Henderson, starling in ine business last spring, raised over four hundred chicks, about all PI: mouth Rocks. Most of them she sold for a good price. mX week, Professor Piper, chief of the department of grasses, lu the agrl cultural department at Washington, D. C, and Mr. Westgute were the guests of Mr. Suksdorf. Professor Piper has beeu traveling In Alaska this summer. It has beeu stated that last Saturday. people from Hood River oould not get horses and team at White Salmon to go to Husuiu. If they had come to Bingen, Tains Bros, would bave sup plied them. We have heard that a company Is going to build a cannery ut Bingen next spring. If such Is tbe case, it is a good move. A better place could not tie selected for such an Industry. Being surrounded by the best fruit lands on Columbia near a good shipping point; the best roads leading lo the town, such a selection for a Gunnery must be a wise one and prove suucessrui. CHENOWITH. Mrs. W. O. Orser has gone to Port land to visit her daughter Sadie and friends. Curl LusJc and John Coulter were In Chenowltl) Thursday looking for stray cattle. B. F. Fuller has gone down the river to luy In his winter hay. Miss Jessie Hughes of Mill A, was over visiting Mas. C. II. Tubus Thurs day. Frank Wilcox got his foot mushed Iwtween his logs, but is able to be around again. ' Elmer Wulker says the Chenowith Fiost office will be moved to his ranch i) a few days. UNDERWOOD.

An uncle and aunt of Mrs. Holland bos come to muke this place their honip, John Dark returned Monday night from McCoy creek mines. Tuesday he went to work on Rohard's store. Your correspondent did not learn whether or not be brought out any gold. FRANKTON. The entertainment and basket social given by the Frankton school last Fri day evening was a success from start to nnisli. the attendance was large and so were the pocket books, judging from the way the baskets sold. The proceeds (roni the Bale of baskets amounted to $112 25. After paying for the flag they will purchase books for tho library. Mrs. Dan Garrabrant's brother from sonthern Oregon is visiting at the Gar rahrant home this week. Our neighbor, Conrad Rum. after those long years of single bliss, has joined the matrimonial band, and here after will work in double harness. Mrs. R. F. Absten returned Fridnv evening from a two weeks' visit down at Portland and vicinity. There are rumors of other weddings in the near future. We haven't the dates but they are coming. "Widders" are becoming a scarce article on the Frankton road. It is not often that lightning strikes twice in the same place, but it did this time, and it was Sister Phoebe who jumped the broomstick. The guilty couple were very sly about it, but if reiiorts were correct from camp Rorden, they were caught in tho act, and as they didn't care a Repp the ceremony proceeded regularly and with due solemnity. But those jolly old bachelors lu the neigh- hood of this diplomatic manipulation, who were left holding the sack, will un doubtedly wear crepe for the regular period and receive (lie condolences of their friends. Cheer up, boys, there are as tine "widders" in the (see) as ever were caught, but remember they are as tricky as a circus mule. Take the ad vice of the Immortal Pickwick and "be ware of the vidders."

Mrs. Joe Humflee't wn a visitor at the Rockford store on Thursday, and we noticed she carried quite a bundle of shoes and dry foods. Jxxks like a pro viding for the winter months. Mr. Boorman and wife were visiting at the Sherrieb residence. F. C. Sherrieb has built a very larire shed and has stored away a large quan tity of good timothy hay. It pays to take care of your hay and farm imple ments. I would suggest that some of the valley farmers get interested in the raising of bops. They might put in one acre by way of experiment. If hops do so well in the North Yakima country I believe they will do well here. Hops are scarce now ; buyers are offering 80 cents a pound. The demand from for eign countries is good. We have a man from Australia wanting to buy a ship load, but cannot get them. The Valley Christian church has a neat woven wire fence in front and at the side. The members of this church are to be commended for the interest they have taken in their church. Rockford store received a wairon load of nails and sugar on Saturday last. Buy your sugar now for we expect an other advance. PINE GROVE. Pine Grove school began Monday. September 20, after being delayed a week. Many were the improvements on the school building this year.
