Ibeg leava to copy the following from the Albany Herald : I'll. Dtwper men reluming from Hood Klver li.v. only plttaauiit things to nty of that enterurlnlng tectum and lis flue apulx. on dlaplay during I lie editorial convention. Hevsrel iaier very properly olwerve thai any part of the Wlllametuj valley can pro. duiw applet a good aa tlioae of Hood Klver. The trouble I. that at Hood Klver everybody praynand the orchards are well cared for, while In the valley hereabout! It In the excep tion for thla sort of oare to prevail. Ilrnoe the wormy applet. The moral la plain enough. The foot of the matter It that the foregoing clipping g not only uiislead- MH uui uiiiiuc. Rim uv m tuiiifiuii i in'.' tlaulturlst would dare rink bin reputa tlon on luub statement. To Illustrate: Recently the writer wan at Vancouver Wash., and in company with a Mis souri friend drove out to Fruit valley near Vancouver, where the country la covered with prune orchards. While driving along, my frieud, who had visited Hood Klver, asked why these people did not raise apples Instead of prunes. My reply was mat tuey coum not proa new a gooa appie, so on in speotlng a pruue dryer aud it stuck, 1 asked tne owner, a man rrom Maine. If be could pmduoe the Spltitenberg. ins answer came quioK aim positive "No, It Is impossible to grow a Spltzen berg here, there Is so much moisture 'that the worms will breed faster than you can extinguish them, besides the climate otherwise will not put the color on them nor furnish the keeping qualities." The prevailing price for the Hood River apple should forever set at rest an controversy concerning tne quality of our peerless apples. The Willamette valley could Improve on their present quality or apples, hut never in a ttums' and years can they compete with the noou iviver proauci. The members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows are planning to puna a nan at uaeii. we neariuy welcome such a move, and ouly hope they will succeed. Hucb an enterprise will add another link to the chain of prosperity of Udell district. The pres ent ball was uot Intended for public use, and the only motive the owner of it bad in suggesting a conference with members of the lodge was that a public ball seemed a necessity. It can, how ever, be put to a more satisfactory use, ' and. the oew one will be welcomed by the owner ol the one already built. Lare Koherts or The Dalles was a visitor at Odell over Suuday. Rev. W. A. Elklns of the Valley church preached ait Interesting sermon last Sunday at the Union church at Udell. Come again. Apple picking is well along. The quality Is O. K. and the yield away Ix-youd the expectations of the growers. William Ehrck has already delivered over 000 boxes dowu town with plenty more to louow. These Indian summer autumn days are still "the tain or the town." Octo ber is surely the banner month of the year. With Its mellow rays of sunshine aud Its golden reward of apples it passes Into the history of 1904 with regret by those whose rheumatic joints are limbered up by its genial warmth. Fill up the woodshed and chink up (he cracks for now comes drear Nov ember with its fog and gloomy fore bodings. D. L. Davidson of Willow flat is on record with the very finest potatoes in East Hood River valley. Samples of his wonderful crop are on exhibition at the Little White store. Fine sam ples of spples can also be seen there, from the orchards of William Ehrck, Mrs. Poole, Alfred Wood, U. W. Latt erty, Claude Copple and B. T. Young. We are ever ready to show up the product of the valley aud extend an invitation to all growers of fruit or any kind of farm products to furnish us with samples, and we will advertise the grower along with the ranch prod uct. Japs are in evidence again clearing land, digging spuds etc, There must be a demand for them or they would not be here. They seek out enterpris ing neigh borhoods that are being developed, The pay mil of Hood valley is increasing by leaps and bounds, and a few years will tell a wonderful tale when all the new orchards are in full bearing. Mr. lllack spent several days lust week at Walla Walla attending to his business a Hairs there. Dan Smith just now came ln and here is what he says: "Four years lost March I bought 40 acres from the Lenie place, and one year later moved on it. In its then wild slate I paid :HI Tor the 40, and today, lHsldes Improve ments of buildings and fencing, I have 15 acres cultivated, 300 trees planted, 3 acres of clover and the balance in garden truck and small berries; and today I could take $3000 for the place. This oiler I have refused antl I con sider It well worth 4H)0." Another evidence of the growth of our section. It only requires nerve, muscle and a very small capital in order to acquire a home hem that, In a few years will make the owner independent, If there were more ban Smiths here the country would be better oil", A drive last Sunday to Mr. Strong's place, up the river from Mr. Tucker's, discloses the fuel that Mr, Strong Is building to stay. He Is Just now colli' pluling a large house, the work of plas terlng being about half none, lie also bass large barn aud other outbuildings, all the work of this summer, lie selected a home site In the thickest of the forest. Ills hulldiogs are well up the hill with a north slope toward the river, turulsiiiiig a commanding view of the country northwest. The ground Is largely covered with oak and pine considerable of which Is slashed. The land Is fertile choice fruit laud, but I think Mr. Strong Intends to turn his attention to dairying, a business he well understands, and which will prove profitable. Mr. Strong Is a new comer, but Is fast establishing his faith In the countrv by his work. "Hy their works ye shall know them." Very soon this country will be full of Ideal homes, and such a home in the country has greater freedom and more attractions than one in the eity, If vou wat t to see a picture of country homes climb to the summit of the range between here and Mosier. There, with one sweep of the vision, you will get a glimpse of the valley that you will never forget. It reminds me of the Illustrated sermon of Pastor Klklns, wherein he pointed out the rough, thorny road that islgzaggcd around until It readied tne pinnacle upon which the cross was planted. This was the pathway trodden by Christ, and such must tie the road that all must travel If they ever reach the pinnacle of success. Once there you are above the mists and fogs of the valley. There It was that the divine leader was surrounded by pure atoms' phere amid the halo of glory of the cross. C. R. Bone has a force of men hous ing his mill in I Hi kef Valley and will ; soon be at work cutting out the flume j lumber for the ditch which covers the : territory west of Odell. This is good ; news, as such a move insures us water for next season. j EVENING SHADE. ! After an absence of a few months we can uot but notice the improvements that are going on around us. A new piece of clearing here, a new barn or fence there something at every turn. The supervisor of road So. 3d is busy building a new road and straightening and Improving the old one. Very little Interest in politics, with the exception of local option. In the near future we will attempt to give an account of the growth aud develop ment ol tins section of country Its orchards, meadows, livestock, in fact everything that helps the growth of this young but thriving settlement. The social season is opening. There will be preaching every evening for a week at the school house. The direc tor of the Mount Hood ball gave a very enjoyable party Saturday evening, which was wen attended. The logging camps are running and are furnishing a local market for con slderable of the surplus products of tins locality. Cyrus Cooper, an old-time friend of the writer, Is visiting at the home of ins sister, Miss ivan cooper, principal of our school. Apple growers are busy picking and preparing their product for market, and express themselves as satisfied with the results of their labor. UPPER MOUNT" HOOD.

The entertainment given by the Bar rett school at the Valley church on Saturday evening was quite a success. The church was filled to its capacity. Great credit Is due the teachers aud pupils for the services rendered. J. H. Shoemaker had a team on the road almost every day last week haul ing apples.' J. H. must have a very large crop. ' J. J. Gibbons wan so busy lust week with his apple crop that lie did not have time to go to town on Saturday to get shaved. father Moorman and wife and Rev, Evans were visiting at the home of F. C.
