Davidson held the record on spuds at the Little White Store, but now comes William Ehrck with larger ones than Mr. Davidson's d grown without Irrigation. Mr. Khrck liai one of the best ranches in the valley. It is developed beyond the aver age ranch and now he has it upon a revenue producing basis, o that he no longer has to lack employment on the outside. but is already able from the pro duct of the place to live independently, and In a few mora years will have a princely income, lie hag eight acres in bewaring apple, and altogether has 43 acres in orchard nearly all of them good keepers, besides 37 acres to grain and meadow and 80 acres uncleared. Mr. Khrck is one of the few farmers who keeps a few hogs and supplies his own table with meat. He is what would be termed an old-timer here, and is just now beginning to realiio handsomely from the fruits of his hard labor per formed years ago. His present condi tion is not the result of chance or luck, but the reward of hard, well-blaiined labor, Such object lessons as Mr. Khrck'i proves conclusively that intelli gent effort along proper lines will make of Hood River, a few years hence, a garden spot the owners of which will be raking in the coin until we shall he the envy of tbo Northwest. In furtherance of this thought we have only to cite the sale last week of the 85-acre tract for $12,000 by Mr. Hoard man on the East Side road. A little showy improvement, a little use of the paint brush pays. There is no potter apple land in the world than in the neighborhood of Odull. But it is not chamting hands at fancy prices, and why not? You may answer the question. Mr. Boardinsn also sold 20 acres near Chris Dethiuan which netted him $2000. II. M. Poole has secured the contract forplaatering the Odd Fellows building at The Dalles. This building has about 4000 yards of plastering, the contract being for $1100. Mr. Poole has had large experience in this line and has little trouble in securing contracts.C'har ley Davis of Hood River will do the lathing on this Job. Jim Reel passed Odell last Sunday on bis wav to his Mount Hood ranch. Mr. Reel got this homesUad about four veara atto and during all the time since lie has made his living on the outside and has succeeded in clearing 18 acres of land. He has 250 trees planted and 400 more on the ground in nurxery row to plant in the spring. Mr. Roes will Koon have a comfortable home upon which he can support his family, and which will be valuable. He has ac quired this place while many other fel lows nave spent uieir eariiiuga uii a uv illg. At a meeting of the Odd Fellows of this community last Saturday night it was decided to begin at once the con struction of a hall on the north went cor nor of the Kemp place, and directly across the street from the Little While Store. The new lodge, we are informed, w ill ue known as "Kemp lodge" a very appropriate name, as Mr. Kemp now de ceased was a member of the order. The building is to be 20x00 feet with 22-foot walls, furnishing two doors, the upper one for lodge purposes and the lower floor it to have a store room In front and living rooms in the rear. This is valuable acquisition to Odell, and one that will be welcomed bv all her enter prising citizens. A public hall is a ne cessity and will form a drawing card We are informed that the hall will be open to any respectable entertainment, It is Duiding much needed nere. The business of the Little White Store is growing right along and already there is a nucleus here fur a very resectable village within a few years. There are undeveloped enterprises that only await wide awake people with small capital. It requires no prophetic linger to point out the bright (uture iu store for us. What we do want is a few more men to put their shoulder to the wheel and hasten the already plainly marked des tiny of Odell. With the perpetuation of the good school we now have and keep ing pace with the times, our climatic and scenic conditions will draw families here who want school advantages with other pleasant surroundings. ; Some of your readers are inclined to poke lun at your correspondent at ooen and call him a boomer. I respectfully plead not guilty to this charno. I admit 1 am enthusiasiie in whatever 1 under take, and mark vou. no permm can enthuse others, unless he has some enthusiasm to transmit, and judging the future by the part two short years l have been permitted to live in Hood River valley, no one can truthfully gain say the wonderful possibilities that await us in the nearby future. This reminds mo. Two frogs got into a can of milk that wasn t watered. One was a pessimist ; the other an optimist. The bessimiet gave up without effort and was drowned, while the optimist kept kicking all night and when morning dawned lie had churned a ball of butter and was on top. School opened last Monday after a lay-off of several weeks, ami we trust there will be no further adjournment during the school year. Roswell Shelley has bargains in land close in. The price is right and the terms liberal. It might be to your interest to investigate. The work of clearing for the planting of apple trees in the spring is on again. The pay roll continues. If it isn't one kind of work it is another. BARRETT. Hay, Jim, where did you get that hat? Why at Rockford store.

The entertainment and basket social at Columbia school last Friday evening was a record breaker. Frank ton thought they had done wouders, but Carrie and her little band got there with both feet. All that kept them from making $100 was the fact that they didn't have baskets enough. They realized $42.D5 from the sale of what few baskets they did have. Three dollars was considered a mild bid on a basket. The Frankton school board at a special meeting Thursday evening decided to hire another teacher, as 125 pupils ot all ages and grades from the primer up to the tenth grade was more than the three teachers could handle, and give each one the attention they required.
