CORRESPONDENCE.
ODELL.
Last week D. L. 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.

kind of work it is another.

few baskets they did have. Three
dollars was considered a mild bid on a
basket.
