CORRESPONDENCE
ODELL.
On Tuesday evening the 22d, a few
of tbe many friend of t'hrlH Dcthmnn
and wife surprised them on the ocea
lion of the 2011) anniversary of their
marriage. Tbe following persons were
among the party : William Ehrck and
family, Hans I,age and family, Henry
Lage and wife, William Hoohy and
wile Mr. Kolls and wife, Mr. Dragsott,
Mr. MoUill and sister, and lien htge.
Coffee and light refreshments, were
served and Jolly good time was hud,
and not until one o'clock ln the morn
ing did the crowd take leave of their
hoot and hostess. Chris Is 20 years
older than when he was married, yet
the only evidence of this fact Is the
sprinkling of grey in his whiskers. II
Is said that a man Is as old as lie feels,
and u woman as old as site looks. As
the crowd took their departure it was
with the wish that Mr. and Mrs. Deth
man should be spared to enjoy many
anniversaries of this kind, and thai
firosnerlty and happiness be their lot
n lire.
Nearly all the lumber for the Odd
Fellows" building is on tbe ground,
nd the work of building has legun
and will be crowded. Kd Hawks is
superintending the work of building.
The completion of this hall will meet
a long-felt public demand at Odd I, and
we are glad to note tbe beginning of
such an enterprise.
We note with regret the illness of
the family of K. L. Massey of Willow
Flat, and hope soon to hear of their
recovery.
Thanksgiving, with all It means
with reference to reunion of loved ones
at home, with good things to eat and
good cheer, has come and gone. It is
a good thing to rest from labor now
nd then, pausing to look backward
over tbe past, and with unfaltering
trust look forward toward the future,
laden with Its duties and responsibil
ities, and pledge ourselves to more
faithful effort along the linos of honor
able manhood. Tbe difficulties over
come In the past should furnish
Inspiration for better future work.
A very creditable school entertain
ment waa given last Wednesday night
at the school house, V. V. Willis and
Mlsa Blanche Wilsou having trained
the pupils for It. It was along Thanks
giving lines. Tbe only thing to mar
the peace of the large crowd was some
disturbance in the crowu uy a lew
Itersons large enough to be men.
'omition decency suggests order at
any public gathering and especially at
a school entertainment, where the
audience Is largely made up of parents,
whose children are on the program,
and who are easily emburraxsed by
such conduct. To young bloods whose
brains are in their heels, it is little use
to Ulk, but as a newagntherer, the
publlo will be Informed concerning
such matters. However, we trust it
will not be necessary to speak of such
a matter again. "A hint to tbe wise,"
etc.
Harry Kemp's blacksmith shop was

George W. Lafferty came here only a
few years ago from LaGrande and pur
chased 30 acres of land one-half mile
west of Odell. Today, with painstuk
ing effort, he baa one of the nicest
little plaoes in the country. This year,
from 20 acres of -the place, with ouly
four acres of bearing orchard, a small
patch of strawberries and some hay,
lie has had revenue of f HOO. He now
has only one-half acre to clear and the
whole 30 awes will he cultivated and
immensely productive. He recently
dug a straight ditch through bis place
nd filled the old creek bed, thereby
reclaiming an acre of fine meadow
lund. Mr. Lad'crty is thorough in his
farm work, and realises Hint land Is
too valuable lo have any waste places,
especially in small tracts. We are ever
ready to note the work of any euter-
firlsing rancher, and prophesy that Mr.
nllorty will get well paid for hi work
III case he ever wants to sell, or, If not,
III revenue while he keeps his place.
The young people of Odell, about 40

I am sending a cony of the Glacier to
my brother, J. M. Shelley of Kugene,
and lust week lie wrote me like this:
"We read your Odell notes will) pleas
ure and enjoy ynur boom Items." Of
course we forgive this brother for such
a statement, tor we realize it Is difficult
for him, living us he does in a slow,
plodding, nuiHH-covered country like
the Willamette valley, to understand
the marked conlrust between the lund
of Wehfools and that of Hood Hiver
valley not only the best advertised
valley In the Northwest, but from a
revenue-producing basis, the very tesl
on record. And why? It Is tilled up
wan a clans or wideawake, enterprising
people, who, by reuson of rural daily
mall and telephone service, are abso
lutely up-to-date, and acquainting
themselves Willi improved methods In
ranching, they they produce the best
possible results; while the products of
the valley nnd their wav into the nest
markets of the world. This solves the
problem of land values here, and re
moves every semblance or boom from
the Odoll notes,
The clearing of land and the plant
ing of thousands of apple trees in the
country, together with the erection of
the substantial tirlck blocks in Hood
Klver this year, with others, that are
now forcing their way to completion
through the storms of winter, are sil
ent, eloquent witnesses, attesting the
growth and development of this most
wonderful valley. While I have pleas
ant and tender recollections ol my
childhood's home in tbe valley of the
Willamette, we are creatures of circum

during the years of maturity we ran

The little sawmill in tbe south end of
our valley is running at its full capacity.
This is a good thing and what is needed.
It gets the timber off of the land, and
where now grows the fir and pine will
grow something more profitable to the
owner. Hut this mill is a detriment to
those who own land along the creek
below the mill, as this mill runs all the
sawdust that it cuts into the creek, and
is filling up the channel and spreading
over the valley. This little creek has
always been the pride of our valley, and
we don't like to see the sawdust running
into it. Furthermore, it is against the
law.

enough and a little to spare; our hearts
have swelled up w hen we contributed

been stricken with famine. Then we
have contributed to others ot our own
land, where floods and disaster have
have swept over localiti-s, such as
Heppner, the Chicago theatre fire, the

thanks unto Him who has safely kept
