Frank Neff has moved and settled in his new bouse on bis 40-aere tract, one mile west of the Little White store. Mr. anil Mrs. JNett are to tie congratulated on their splendidly appointed home. Mr. Keff Is the architect and builder and 1ms spared no expense or work In making It com fortable and attractive. His selection of this home site Is uo mistake; over looking the valley to the east and sheltered on the west and lying under the Hone ditch, lie will soon convert this forest land into a paradise. The land is One for apples. It la an east slope and was formerly covered with oak, 163 cords of four-loot wood having been cut from about eight acres lust winter. The stumps will be pulled next winter and their places will be tilled with the red apple that always brings a fancy price. A reservoir will be built on the hill and 111 led from the Rone ditch, where water will always be in store for Irrigation purposes. The grounds about the house will be plant ed to flowers and small fruits, which will not only beautify the borne but furnish the table with choice berries and fruit. The blooming flower gar den will prove the home attraction, while the famous apples will bring in a princely revenue. He Is just now adding to his Improvements, a shop and an outdoor cellar. A peep at the interior finish of the house at once convinces one that Mr. Nell' is a me chanic. The permanent cupboards and tlx lures having been made part of the building is well worth looking at. The kitchen treasure is a home product and complete in evpry detail. Such Improvements are arguments in favor of the future of the valley, and such families as Mr. Nell's are valuable acquisitions to any community. These charming autumn days have theelleetof making everybody good natured, for these cool tiighsa and sunny days add not only health to our people hut untold wealth to our vullev. in placing me prize-winning color on the apples and at the same time giving them the keeping quality. These perfect sunlit autumn days are welcome guests ana serve not only to lighten our pathway through the winter that must follow, but also teach us another and perhaps a more impor tant lesson, that amidst life we feed upon death, for were it not for death in the vegetable kingdom and the reuniting of ita forces In springtime we could not live at all. Then let us tie thankful for the punning seasons. While 'tis true to some of us, they seem to come too often, yet if present opportunities are improved we are always ready lor I lie next one, no matter then if it be the last one. The unqualified success of the fruit fair is a mutter of comment tiy all those who witnessed, and I take this opportunity to publicly thank the management of tiie fruit growers, for the industry and generosity displayed in making it the greatest apple show in the world. The result of such work will surely prove fiir reaching In its effects on ihe future of our valley. 1 have already reud a glowing account of the same from the pen of J. C. Hay- tor, who runs the Polk County Obser ver, (my old county.) This Is the only eouutv paper I read save the (Jlaclcr. Utheis, no doubt will follow suit. 1 beg to say here that 1 am proud of the liberal and generous policy adopted by the press association In declaring their columns open and free in la-half of the lx-wlsand Clark exposition. Much good will result to the state at large ; and to Portland in particular by such a course. The country editor has much to do In the way of blazing the road to the future greatness of bis country, as well as In moulding pu. die sentiment. Ho give him a kind word and help him lu ail lauduble enterprises. In company with 11. C.Crockett and I wife, wife and I attended the Dukes Valley literary last Friday evening. After a musical and literary program was rendered the local option question wub discussed. The leaders on the question were: D. L, Davidson on the affirmative and Gilbert Kdgington on the negative. After listening with Interest to the arguments pro ami con, we came home fully convinced as to how we should vote on the question. If all the parties who cheered the local option speakers had a vote, local option would undoubtedly sweep Dukes Valley, but notwithstanding the appar ent feeling it) favor of the affirmative the decision wbb rendered in favor of the negative. Dukes Vulley possesses both musical and literary talent, and as most great men come from tiie country districts Dukes Valley should be heard fiotn. They are to be com mended for their enterprise In furnish ing profitable entertainment during the long winter evenings. The Little White Btore has just re ceived a nice line of gents shoes ,t prices that are correct. Cull and have a look before purchasing your winter footwear. Two daughters of II. M. Poole, who reside in The Dalles spent (Sunday at Udell. Mrs. J. L. Atkinson from Portland, who owns the Booth place, came up lust Saturday to look after the business of the farm. This famous ranch has been withdrawn from sale and Mrs. Atkinson is going to clear up addi tional land and enlarge her apple orchard. Mr. Walerbury, who lias charge of the ranch work, through his painstaking efforts, has developed it into one of me very nicest places along the Mount Hood road. The work of apple picking is pro gressing nicely, the weather conditions being tine, as are also the apples. The apple is king here and long may it rule at fancy prices. J. L. Tousey of Portland spent Sun day with his family at his mountain home nearOdell. Owen Davis left last week for Oak land, Cel., where he exects to attend business college during the winter. Mrs. Rose Shelley recently closed a deal for five acres of land adjoining the Little White store. It was a cash pur chase and ine consideration satisfactory. There are other bargains on the same place; the very best bargains in all the vulley. For Information see Ros well .Shelley. In order to close up the wood busi ness for the season the Little White store offers a few ricks of good pine block wood delivered in town at reasonable prices Why go to town for goods when you can suve flic hauling bv trading at the Ut'le White Store? The store is here lo stay ; and why? Because its prices are Invariably right. No trouble to show goods. Then If you don't pur chase it is our fault, not yours. Iietler look at the swans in land near Odell before it is too late. Klec.tr ic power will iu a few years solve the distance problem. The land talks for itseir. Huy quick. "He who doubts Is lost." These' moonlight nights afford excel lent opportunity for evening amuse ments and the young folks of Udell are improving them. It was our pleasure to meet the Rev. W. A. Klkins of the Valley Christian church last week. His father and I were boys together In Polk county and my only recollection of the pastor Is that of a little boy, but twelve years makes men of boys. We wish Mr. Klkins success in bis new field. A few of your readers have missed the Odell notes for the past two weeks and have requested me to tire away again. After reading these protracted notes perhaps they w ill ask me to cut it out again. Always room for Odell notes. Ed. DUKES VALLEY. We are having some pretty weather present, and this is what the farmers want, for this ia the time of year to gather their apples and prepare, for winter. , , ; A. T. Dodge and 0. W. Murphy are cutting their third crop of clover, but it is not as heavy as tiie first and second crops were. C. W. Murphy had bad luck with one of his fine horses last week.

On next Friday evening we intend to have a sham trial. One of our most prominent young ladies has sued a young man for breach of promise. All the young men and girls ought to hear this and then they will know what to do in a case of this kind. W. C. Dodge and wife were visitinu with Murk Cameron and family last Sunday. F. L. Massey is clearing and plowing. Mr. Massey is a rustler, and we have reason to believe, will make a good home and have a self-supporting farm in a few years ; not only this but it will bring him a flue income, for such men ub he are the ones that succeed. C. R. Hone is still clearing land. We understand that Vanllorn was out last week, and was well pleated with his interests, as he is a partner with Hone in the land that is being cleared. As Boon as the land can be put in shape it will be set to apple trees. Mr. Editor, as I. K. K. is too busy this week to write, Unkle Joker v. ill drop you a few lines to let you know that Dukes Valley is coming to the front. If yoti;don''t believe it just drive nnand see Mr. Macsee and Charles Murphy cutting their tiiird crop of clo ver. Barney Cooper is on our Btreets twice a week with a butcher wagon and is selling some tine meat. M. Cameron has his house about completed on the land he purchased from V. (i. Iindson. We would like to have more good people settle in Dukes valley. There is plenty of good land for sale cheap and the rattlesnake and coyote are la-coming conspicuously scarce. ' Any one v. idling to buy hay can find plenty in mikes vulley and on Willow Flat. Mr. and Mrs Koswell Shelley of the Little White Store and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Crockett of Odell were at our lit erary Friday night. Welcome; come again. Now, Mr. Glacier man, as this is my and family took a trip to Cloud Cap Inn last Sunday. All reported a fine time.

Mark WeygandtandJ.L.Groff went to Hood River, Friday, and moved Mr.Hag geman up to his homestead on China hill. By all appearances Mr. Hagge man has come to stay. We have heard of a young girl from Mount Hood who asked a certain party of Mount Hood the best way to make a young man propose after he, has kept steady company for more than a year and yet keeps "mum" on the subject of marriage. The best way in our judg ment is to always be busy when your young man calls around. Show him you know how to make a pie.cook a din ner, and keep the house neat and clean, then if he is too slow to take the hint, put on your big brother's No. 10 boots and help him to remember that lie swung on your dud's gate and used the coal oil, and it is time to speak up or move. If this don't go right to suit you, Miss, there is a young man in Upper Mount Hood who says he will never get married unless a girl proposes to him tir.-t. This is Leap Year, girls, and now's your chance. Don't alt propose at once. The people of Mount Hood are busy digging their potatoes nowadays. J. L.
