A fore, of eight men has made a big showing od the hall building that Is In course of construction, and before the close' of the present week the roof will be on. H. M. Poole waa borne from The Dalle over Sunday. A aerlea of meeting la being con ducted of evenings at the Union church under the direction of the U. It. church. Rev. Ruoades, the pastor at Hood Klver, la doing the preaching. Clare Crockett and K. D. Shelley went to The Dalles overland Saturday, Mr. Crockett taking a herd of horses to winter pasture and Shelley, jr., Joining him to Investigate the mule market. The grubbing season Is again on and a number of parties are getting ready to shoot out trees and plant a more profitable kind. Chris Dethman will clear uo 20 aorea; Mr. Cames 10 or 12, and others will follow suit. The big outfit, the Kast Hood Hlver Orchard Co., is using quite a force on the hill leading to the Willow flat country The number of Japs seem to be increas ing and much development work is laid out for this winter. A look at the country between here and Nell creek shows rapid and sub stantial development. Kggermont Is prominent this year in tne worn im provement. Henry and Thomas Avery are now quartered in oozy, oom Tort able bomes that are modem in their style of architecture, with all the nec essary outbuildings. They are Ideal country homes, and a oouutry home Is far more attractive than a city home We congratulate the A very s on their filcturestfue and comfortable surround dm, as well as their systematic work in taking care of their ranches. That kind of work brings Its reward. Theirs la a neighborhood of good homes and the spirit of Improvement mani fest there will spread all over our val ley, so that within a few years Hood Klver valley will be the envy of the Northwest. Last Saturday a farmer from Illinois, . I. .. I -l .... .1.. V, nM utan.-toit Into the store and about the first words he uttered were to the effect that the valley waa under the spell of the boom er, aud saying our apple exhibit wa not a fair one that we ought to put culls and all In when we made a fruit exhibit; that the price ot land was too iiign; mat ne would sooner iarni in Illinois than raise apples In Hood Klver; that Illinois could produce as foou apples as nooa Kiver. in reply asked bim, "Why don't you?" "The proof of the pudding is chewing the nag" Instead of chewing the rng. When I told him that land was readily worth Its producing power, and that our producing power was demonstrated beyond question, he passed nut of the the store saying he didn't want to stick his foot iuto a trap that he could not get out or. wnen ne investigates conditions no doubt he will change his mind, and should he ever return to Hood River will probably Invest in apple land. Not more than two miles from the Little White Store, good apple land cab be bought for $-"0 an acre. We expect to furnish your readers next week a good item on road woik at Odell. The Little White store Is in receipt of a fin line of working gloves, but they didn't come to stay. They are already going, so come along and select a pair while sizes are complete. They re direct from the factory aud the prices are right. I beg leave to correct an item In last week's notes oonoerning Harry Kemp's blacksmith shop removal. He did n't move out of Odell but only a few rods south of the old stand, where he Isj ready to greet hi old customers and make new ones. There is not on of us who forgets the reading or recita tion of "The Village Blacksmith." This intensely thrilling tale is fully portrayed In the play entitled "Shore Acres," In which ynu fuce the brawny, bare-armed blacksmith at his forge, In the true dignity or mnniiootf. Harry Kemp is a character, and when I am on the retired list, and writ my first novel I shall use him as leading char acter In the plot. ' Dan Smith's brother from Illinois Is a recent arrival ut Udell, and has come to stay. This Is Ills third visit before locating. Recently one morning we heard the music of the hunter's horn, aud their seven or eight hernials, and on looking saw the Odell brothers and Juke Lenss mounted and on their way to the hear pastures. We failed to learn the result ofthechase. The sound of the hunt er's horn is always a welcome one, for It reminds us of primitive, carefree days, when wild game supplied the table; when there were no street cars to avoid nor telephone hells to unswer. While at the Tanglewnod home last Saturday, Mrs. 0. U. Robert showed me nice, ripe tomatoes grown in their garden. She has just been having fresh pens. Junglcwoou Is a lovely summer home, and this season is prov ing a nice winter home as well. It is a quiet, secluded spot, and with pure air and trystal-like spring water, fur nishes a delightful retreat for one who Is tired in nerve or body. Will Kemp Is just completing a cot tage and barn on what will soon be known as the Kemp heights, l'erlmps he will rent the cottage, hut perhaps not. When Harry and Dave Kemp Improve their tracts, and Nettie fulfills her promise by building an old maid's bungalow on lier place, then will the name be in full force and ell'cet. Whoever saw a drunken Jap? There was one at Odell last Sunday taking up most of the sidewalk, which is a HO foot road, with a bottle of what Mark Twain calls "eternal punish ment," In his pocket, and when swag gering around aicainst a glass dooi the writer cautioned nuu not lo break It. 11a remarked, "all right, me no care. Five dollar, ten dollar, all right." BARRETT. We hear singing on our streets in the early hours of the morning, and on looking out Into the darkness we nun the sweet singer Is tin less a person than Charley Wallace on his way to work. Well, Charles Is generally good tempered, so he Is sine to make melody when extra happy. The Stnuiahan boys have the U'le phoue fixed In their house on (heir ranch. HupMse the boy will tie Interested over the phone during the evenings. One of the Dunn boys has purchased 10 acres of land from 11. 1. Slew art and will shortly put up a house on the land, this will lie anotlicr addition to Darrett. Roekford is up-to-date In rubber goods, mittens and gloves for the win ter. Step in and inspect the stock. Thomas Bishop's new house Is now completed, being nicely painted and neatly built, it makes a nice showing ill our district. Thomas lielieves in having things for their comfort. Miss Norman, our esteemed school ma'am, bad to take a lay-off Monday on account of sickness. The little tads say you must hurry up and come back again. It Is quite common now to see the apple packers moving from one place to another with their blankets and quilts slung over their shoulders. Will Davenport intends to winter about 2000 sheep in the valley thU winter, so we can get a.mutfcm once in aw li lie. MOSIER.

Miss Mattel Kittdell attended the Principals' club held in Hood River Saturday. Messrs. Mark and Vannier, with their families, from Dakota moved out to their lately purchased property In Pine Grove the U. D. Boardtnun place, the latter part of last week. This means another increase of pupils in the district. If the increase of pupils is as large next year as it has been this, we will need to use our other room, so needlessly built, as some said, when it was cheaper to build on only one more room. A. I. Mason returned from Portland Inst week, accompanied by his old schoolmates, Mr. and Mrs. Raine ot Missouri, who wanted to see some of Hood River's first class apples. There will be a school meeting held at the school house Monday evening, Decemlwr 12, at 4 o'clock, for the pur pose of levying a tax for school pur poses for the coming year.

E. church have been largely attended during the past week, and Sunday evening the crowd was so large they were obliged to prepare seats oilier than those which the church affords. Twenty-five new members united with the church Sunday evening; some on probation and some by letter. The meetings will continue during this week. All are Invited to attend. M. II.

Cox, who lives two miles north of White Salmon, is known to be a good trapper. Just lately he trapped 12 coyotes, 12 skunks and one wild cat weighing 20 pounds. The people around White Salmon have been losing chickens this fall. No wonder this wild cut weighed 20 pounds. For coyotes you can make fences, but wild outs will climb over them and get your chickens right in the park. We all feel glad that Mr. Cox caught those 25 chicken thieves, and hope he will gel some more. Report your success to us, Mr. Cox. Stockmen are hunting up their cattle on the mountains lately. D. Underwood from Snowden was in town lust week with a load of lum ber for the road. Mr. Kverhurt and Mrs. Rosegraudt went to Portland last Sunday. They received word that their father a get ting worse In the hospital, and Is not expected to live long. The singing class organized here Is getting along nicely. New members come in every day. The concert to be given Friday, December 8 will tie the best musical program ever performed in White Salmon. There will be solos, duets, (piartets and choruses of every description, rendered under the direc tion of PAifessor W. C. Aylsworth, who proves himself to be a master of music. Mr. Martin, who came here this fall from Cascade Locks, Is setting out some strawberries on the land he bought from Captain Cook. Captain Cook made a trip to Golden dale last week. There is some talk of a brass band being organized In the near future by Mr. Bowman. Frank Egan, M. C. Fox aud the sou of Dr. Uearhart went on a hunting trip last week. When they came buck tbey drove so fust that your correspon dent was not able to see all the game they brought In. We saw many guus In the buggy anyway. R. Adams Is clearing up eight acres of laud, Mailt and Bowman having the contract. That the White Salmon dock re ceives an enormous amount of freight every day is shown by the Regulator line, which bandies from $800 to (1000 worth of freight and passengers every month here. The Dalles Transporta tion Co. has also from $50 to $75 every month. They do not handle so much freight as the other company as they bave no ware house here. Tills all shows how White Salmon is growing. FROM THE INTKkPRISK. Work on the Underwood road has been stopped for the winter as the weather is unfavorable for that kind of work. The road Is practically finished with the exceptlen of some rock work and a small bridge or two. A. Balslger this week removed bis stock of merchandise from the old Thomas building near Main and Bow man streets into the neat and com modious store belonging to Mr. Ever bart on Jewett avenue. The people of White Salmon should get in and petitiou the county com missioners for the improvement of the Bald mountain grade. It is an im provement that is badly needed and the cost need not be excessive. Some change in the survey is needed so as to avoid some heavy grades. This work has got to be done sootier or later, and It may as well be done soon er. Get everything ready during the wluter so that work may begin with the first bright weather in the spring. Following Is the report of the White Salmon school district No. 10: PRIMARY GRADES. Numlier enrolled 41 Days attendance 620J Days taught 17 I'PPKR GRADES. Number enrolled 28 Days attendance 4i2' Days taught 17 School money 1b drawn on the basis of attendance, which makes the income of the district about ten cents a day. Owing to the shortness of the day the noon intermission will be shortened to one-half hour after the present week In order that those living at a distance may reach home before dark. - C RAPPER. Mr. Gatchell has moved from the Barrett neighborhood to the place for merly occupied by J. W. Jones. The property is now owned by MissSwigert of Portland. Considerable improve ments are being made on the premises. The construction of a commodious 10 rooni house is well on the way to com pletion. Burch A Poole of Portland are the contractors. We extend hearty welcome to our new neighbors. Nathan Hackett is somewhat nnder the weather. I- B. Wilson and Harry Hackett, whose illness was chronicled last week, are both able to be out again. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bailey visited with E. E. Lyons and family one day last week. The Crapperites are making arrange ments for a grand Christmas entertain ment. They met on Wendesday even ing and named as committee on ways and means G. A. McCurdy, Herman e Prigge and Charlie Reed ; commfttee on program Mrs. Lyons, Mrs. McCurdy, Mrs. P. H. Martin, Miss Maud. Strana han and Miss Inez Martin, In order to allow more time for the preaching service, the Sunday school Will in the future be opened at 2 p. m. sharp, instead of 2:30. MOUNT HOOD. The weather at present is fine up in this neck of the woods. We hear lots of shooting on the hills north of here the last few days. We suppose that bear and deer are suffer ing some at least. O. A. Knox took a band of horses out to Bunch Grasalast week for the winter. We have a doBe of the shorts as to notes this week, as we are logging and can't find time to attend the Kings' club and get newa to send in. Warren Cooper took a band of cattle to Bunch Grass last week for the win ter. It pays better to sell hay and pay for wintering than to feed at home. W. A. Oiiield, our most venerable trapper, came down from Mount Hood loaded with furs. In the outfit he had one fox skin and the rest were martens. He reports the weather warm and only about six inches of snow. He says there have been four or five wagons up to the Inn Bince it was closed. He went to work and opened all the ditches so the road would not be damaged very much. E. Henson is still trapping bear, and as soon as he gets one he will have bear meat and oil tor sale. But it is getting so late we think you may as well bring in your traps, "Dad" for this fall. UNDERWOOD. S. Freeman has been culling on friends this week. W. M. Woods and George Tyrell left for Chenowith Monday. Frank Larsen Is the new mail carrier. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Thornton were driving around the country in their new rig and took dinner with his sister at Chenowith. Willie Underwood returned from Mc Coy creek mines Monday. Mrs. Sorenson lost one of her horses by founder or poison. The young people had a pleasant little party at Charlie Thornton's Sat urday night. Church was held at the school house Sunday by a Lutheran minister. Mr, Sather evpects to give singing lessons at the school house, commence ing at one o'clock. A good many of our people were out hunting Sunday, experiencing the same luck as our editor did when be was over. Professor Cromweil purchased a thoroughbred English setter this week. Mrs. Ed Underwood returned from her visit at Cascade Locks Saturday. Odell ews Notes. BY THR SCHOOL CHILDREN. The Odell school gave a Thansglving entertainment Wednesday evening, November 23, aud met with a full house. ' Miss Sadie Young, who has been ill since about the middle of March, is still 111 at the Portland sanitarium at Mount Tabor, but Is getting somewhat tter. Afer several days steady downpour of ram we echo the thought: "There is a land that is drier than this." Miss Bertha I-afl'erty, after a visit of a week, returned to towu. Several new scholars were enrolled In the Udell school, Monday morning, j Our number is now 59. Attendance; was somewhat irregular during the apple harvest, but now that the rush j is over we hope for a better showing. The pupils who do the best work are those who make atteudaooe their busi ness, nnd do not stay out for trlviul reasons. Look Out for Tramps. It is said that 100 tramps were run out of Arlington Friday, and we believe they were headed this way, says The Dalles Chronicle. Arlington waj wel come to our share of them and we wish she had kept them. Oregon seems to be deluged with that undesirable ele ment about this time, and though our officers are working hard it is a difficult job to down them. Keep the doors well barred and the cupboards too, for we are informed that on Saturday night us Mrs. R. G. Baker went out to bring in some groceries which had been left by the delivery boy, a man who was just starting away from the porch dropped two cans of fruit and lit out. It is well to observe the saipo pre cautions here, as a number of similar depredations have been reported about town during the past week. Rolls! Dolls! Dolls! The place to buy your little girl a doll will be at the Christmas doll sale given hy the ladies of St. Mark's Guild on December 14, where you can buy a dressed doll cheaper than you can dress it yourself; dulls from the smallest to the largest and most elegantly dressed. .
