They are supposed to live there for live years and those who do this at never beaten out of their homes, but those who do not comply with this law are uot entitled to a home and ought not to have one given them. The writer was up on Gilliert Edging ton's place lust week. Gilbert baa a homestead and has done quite a lot of work on the same, lie has made this his home almost continuously ever since he took it.

The Mosier box factory is contem plating manufacturing doors and win dows. Why don't some enterprising person engage in the laundry business in Mosier? They surely would be well patronized. The next thing Mosier needs is a drug store and a doctor. ODELL A look at the home ofL. 1). Boyed last week is still another proof of the reward of enterprise. Mr. Boyed 's home is easily the nicest iu East Hood Kiver valley. The house is a model of beauty and at the same time combines the comforts and conveniences of a modern city dwelling. The lawn in front and on the south side of the house looks as if made to order, fitting the house and surroundings to a "T". The water supply comes from a reser voir on the hill west of the bouse, which is filled by means of a pump throwing an eight-Inch stream of water and run by a gasoline engine. With an abundance of water from the Bone ditch Mr. Boyed is enabled to produce one of the tiest gardens in the valley. Com grows to perfection, a IhiiiK not generally conceded to Hood Kiver valley; while all kinds of vege tables and fruit attain a high degree of perieeiion. mere is a stalk of oaull llower standing on a sturdy stalk that is three feet nign, topped out with Hood Kiver going dry at this year's i ,uge cauliflower that will measure 12 election. It may cause more irrigation t 14 im.he8 acrOHSi i while and ten. but we cun stand that. lier. iie pumpkin are scattered over Mrs. Hurry tirnhb and daughter of ;a small piece while each one of them The Da Mca me visit ing at the himie of j seems Contesting the right of the others in tlie same garden.

MOSIER Henry Batebum's Sunday school class, chaperoned by the .Misses Mosier and Gulovson, were most pleasantly entertained on .Saturday with a trip to the ltatehuni larm. By previous ar rangement, the children assembled at the Mosier house, where Mr. Bateham met them with his conveyance, and gave them a most delightful drive over the hills to Ins home. The time was pleiismlly sie ut playing games on the lawn. After the dainty lunch pre- fmred by the young ladies, Mr. Ilute lam turned theclulditn loose into his vineyard and walnut grove, where acres, part of which he has cleared recently, and with his bearing orchard and the new one planted, he has promise of a good revenue soon. He intends to burn a kiln of brick next season and build au apple house, which will be about as cheap as lum ber and far preteiable This charming home is an object lesson to those seeking investment In the valley. Mr. Boyed's improvements are all of a substantial character. What he does is well done. Ho is a mechanic and knows that cheap improvements finally prove expensive. We congrat ulate Mr. and Airs. Boyed on their pleasant home, which will always 1 kept while Mrs. Boyed is there. C. H. Bone and wife were on the road rtCi'iitly with a brand new rubber tired buggy, that is both graceful and silent in its movements.

Strange that some folks are always ready to buck some other fellow's game. I know of hut one sure thing game and that is the red apple game of Hood Kiver valley. Try It and in five or six yeurs you will be a big winner. You will get money out of it without going to the trouble of writing home for it. A concert was rendered last Saturday night at the union cburcli here to an audience of about one dozen. Next time you are coming better give your notice to the Glacier correspondent, and then people will know of your coming. Hubert Morton and Harry Kemp started forth for a fine day's sport of fishing last Saturday, and just about the time they were ready to tempt the tinny tribe to take the fly, the splash dam was turned loose and proved a disturbing element in their day's sport. We all have our troubles but'they say you had better tell them to a police man. The apple picking is nearly over. Mr. Brock of the Watt orchard has yet a thousand boxes to gather which will require his presence for another week. Mr. Brock has apples lill further orders. Mr. Gasbode from Portland, who owns 40 acres with 20 acres of growing trees, part of the Booth place on Willow flat, called Saturday at the Little White Store ou the way to bis orchard. His brother Just out from Wisconsin, was with him looking over the valley. He wants to purchase 40 acres of land. The lust part of this paragraph is for the benefit of real estate men. Go after him and land him. Rumor Is rife that C. L. Rogers has closed a deal on the 25-aere tract near Odell. I've been telling you there were bargains here, and Rogers kuows one when he sees it, and backs bis judgment. But there are others, so come along. H. M. Poole went to The Dalles last week to take charge of the plastering of the Odd Fellows' building there. Fred Crockett and Mr. Anderson went overland to The Dalles Thursday. Fred took a herd of horses to winter quarters near The Dalles. Otto Ehrck spent a few days in The Dalles last week. Who said the wood business was dull?

Shelley & Son have bought the stable recently built by Mr. Poole. Mr. Bone's ?aw mill in Dukes Valley started up last Monday. The mill is now roofed over so they can run wet or dry. This is good news here for it means Uu me lumber. The Little While Store is agent for the Paradise laundry. Goods left here not later than Tuesday will be returned Saturday. Walter Massey, a young man of Dukes Valley, purchased a piece of land a year ago on time, and by dint of energy and bard work lias paid the interest on the whole thing and his fir-t annual payment, and besides this has cleared 5 acres and has it already plowed and money in his jeans. Walter was nut old enough to vote last week, but during the last year has without means ac complished more than the average voter. A new wagon sheet that will fit over bows on the wagon is ottered cheap at the Little White Store. Ralph Lewis of Belmont spent Sunday here. He was driving his yearling coli This ia au Altamont, and will make a fine driver. The writer is the owner o( a lull brother of this one of Ralph's, which in two years should be able to hit only the high places. When he ia hitched up, we ought to chase the fes tive item at long distance. Mike Neffand family, Mrs. Oiler and Miss Winans of Hood River were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neff last Sunday. Now is the eeasons of long evenings, when literary clnhs and whist parties are in order, but we have neither at Odell. Pumpkin pie is the real thing these days. Try one of the pumpkin pies on eale at the Little White Store. If you want nice Christmas books call on Mrs. Koawell Shelley, who has an illustrated catalogue. The prices are right and they can be delivered ou short notice. Davidson Bros, have row after row of sacked potatoes standing in their orch--ard on what was part of the Chris Detli man place. Besides they have acres on Willow Flat all of them having been grown on their newly planted orchards. Notwithstanding the price ia low at present, yet the coat of a crop of spuds is nominal where they are grown in young orchards that must be cultivated, and bring in quite a revenue. These people are wide awake and in a in a few years will have a handsome in come from apple trees recently planted. Willow Flat is widely and favorably known, and why? Because it is in the hands of men with both means and en terprise. MOUNT HOOD The weather bus been very dry for this time of yeur, up to this week. In fact it looks dry for the next two years at least. We don't drink anyway. Warren M. Cooper pot bis hand mashed last Friday, or part of tho fingers on one hand. He caught it between two blocks of wood In some way. Mr. Rluinke is here looking after his ranch. At present he is located at LaGrande running an engine on the road. He will return home this week. The revival meeting still goes on, but we don't think it will last much longer. 8. A. Helmer butchered a fat hog lust week that weighed 405 pounds. How is that for Mount Hood, we ask? The Mount Hood Water company will be incorporated here this week with a capital stock of $3000 to be divided into 300 shares at $10 each. It is the company's intention to file on 2000 inches of water in Hood river. Ayers Falling hair means weak har. Then strengthen your hair; feed it with the only hair food, Ayer's Hair Vigor.
