Tha "eood roads" Item that was romisedlast week wan spoiled partly iv wet weather. Dart I v on account of . r ... . . i . r 1..... lue illness oi rtoaumaster vrouami tiuu largely from the fact that out of eight team that had prom tad voluuUjcr work, ouly four appeared on the icene according to promise. This much discussed road problem is a matter for serious consideration, and one that Is hard to nettle where self I merest la so manifest a It Is here at Udell. Much of the opposition to voting a local tax for road Improvement comes from well-to-do lund owners, who certainly ought to be glad of an oppor tunity to assist In bettering the condi tion of the roads, which is a leading- factor In the development of any coun try. Kutjuataa toon as an effort Is made to levy a tax In accordance with law, these fellows get out and work harder to defeat the tax than a week's volunteer work would cost them. Then they stand up In pnbllo meeting lay, 'If you will refrain from and say. 'If you will refrain from vol lug a tax upon us taxed-almoat-to. death laud owners, we will get out and do volunteer work and put the roads la eood condition." But when the supervisor requests their presence on the road at a given time they abso lutely refuse to oome, and call the enterprising men In the district "sore heads." These are cold facta and the parties described in the above paragraph live close to Odell. It U a downright dls graoetbat the winter roads In our com . .. 1 . - ... 1 1, .. ,wi iiit it i . . .. tl.m. m when a little well directed work would make them good. I don't want to be understood as censuring the road supervisor, for there Is not half enough tax money passing through his hands to dome worn property, ine ouiy way out of it Is to vote a district tax or donate work, neither or wuiuu is imeiy to be done, and the result Is we must use almost Impassable roads, or travel the better roads of our neighboring districts. However disagreeable the task Is of writing the above paragraph I do so with the simple statement that as a newsgatberer I fuel as if I would fall to discharge my duty toward the publlo by remaining silent upon such an important question. The California fever has broken out here and this week the following par ties took leava from Hood River valley to spend the winter under the sunny k lata nf tha Southland ! Kev. Trov Shelley, B. T. Youug and family, P. W. Fuehs, (should be pronounced Fox) Messrs. Beerbach, Sanders and another young man, who for some time has been at the Brock orchard, Otto and William Khrck. sons of Mr. and Mrs. William Khrck. B. T. Young and wire go In search of relief lor their daughter Sadie, who for mouths has oeeu:in a Portland sanitarium. Their friends wish for her speedy recovery and for t lie return oi ine lamiiy. uro. troy Shelley goes to Santa Barbara, t'al., to find relief from rheumatism. We wish him a Don voyage, the speedy relief be seeks ana a sale return to Ms lamiiy. It was understood last week that Kemp lodge, uuder the auspices of the Odd Fellows, would lie Instituted on Saturday night, but there was a hitch lu the proceedings, and It was not organized until Mouday night the 12th lust. Dr. Doane of The Dalles, grand treas urer fur tha state of Oregon, acted as deputy grand master, and assisted by Charles Mcintosh, Instituted tha lodge with the following charter members: W. O. Hibbard, Thomas Laoey, B. T. Young, J. K. Crosby, E. T. Foltx, H. M. Foole, C. C. Masiker, Eoy Marker, George P. Masiker, Guy Masiker. The officers of the new encampment are: Thomas Laoey, P. G. ; George P. Masiker, N. G.;C. C. Masiker, V. E. T. Folia, secretary; J. K. Crosby, treasurer. After the installation there were three candidates initiated Into the secrets of the order. The church trust ees kindly donated the church build ing ror the temporary use or ine wnu Fellows, and supper was served here after the ceremonies. The festivities of the evening continued until six o'clock Tuesday morning. With more than M years experience as an Odd Fellow, 1 know what I say when I bespeak for this lodge the success that awaits the work of all true devoted Odd Follow bulges. Hie com munity Is to be congratulated upon the institution oi a louge so wormy m its work and diameter as is the work of this oiiler. While it Is true that Odd Fellowship does not mtike men over, yet It does have a restraining Influence upon Its members, thereby making of them better citizens, and the principles of which, if lived up to, places its mem bers upon as lofty a moral plane as nerhans any Institution in the world save the church, and has a tendency to reach and Improve a class of men that the church could never gut. For more than two years 1 have been chasing the festive Item and using my utmost endeavor from the light I had to serve, not only the community in which 1 live, but the demand of your valuable paper as well. How well I have succeeded 1 leave to the readers. Supplying a paper with readable news from a country community is not always an easy task, besides sometimes it Is not an easy matter to write at all. With time hanging heavy on our bands it would be a pleasant duty to perform to turnlati news irom ine peer leas valley of Hood Kiver noting the developments that are in progress and those to follow, but we all have our troubles, and duties to perform. Then perhaps a change of correspondents might be for the best Interest of the (lacier as well as this community; so If there Is any ono ready to take the quill for l!Htr, I will surrender grace fully and aid them, and your paper in every reasonable manner to keep our charming valley in the front row where it belongs. Hhellev. lr., returned last Wednesday from The Dalles with the proceeds of the mule Bale he made while there. lUlph doesn't exactly bate mules, Hut likes horses belter. A pint of fresh Olympla oysters from Sherman Youiik's fjlaee reminds us that the Favorite is up-to-date. Hood Kiver should be proud of such a home like resort. Clint Wood Is now manager of the Dukes Valley saw mill. Clint is not only managing the work, but his list is good at the end of a check to pay for it. We regret to announce the Illness of II. C. Crockett. His many friends hope for bis recovery sikmi. The unexpected so often happens that we should try to be ready for any thing that collies. A good many of us need a balance wheel to keep us run ning smooth. (In this line I beg to q note a favorite author of mine. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and lieforu doing so, promise to take the medicine In this prescription. Here it is: ThoUKltM do not need tlm lugs of wonts To fly to anv kosI, l ike nubile liKlniiliig uol like birds Tliev ttpet'd from soul to aoul. II til- tn your heart one bitter thought Still It haft power to bttght; Think love, attho' you toieak It not It gives the world more light. The above paragraph will be found In Willeox'a book entitled, "An Firing Woman's Love." Read the look. J. S. Harbison, while visiting at his brother's, K. K. Harbison, in company with H. K. ami mniily ctlled "on us lwt week, tain t'ied o "josh" us about our methods of advertising the valley, but after all I dont think be meant it, for lie still owns laud here, and doesn't seem anxious to sell it. Ham Is a good fellow and is always a welcome guest of t he writer. My prophecy Is that he will return some day to Hood Hlver valley not as the prodigal son, but lie will come, and come to stay. To feel any other way about Sam would be presuming on his ignorance, a thing no one dare do. There is a legend at Sitka, Alaska, like tills: Old-timers there say that after one lias sient a year there and drunk Indian river water, and leave, they always have a hankering to return; and truly there is something absolutely satisfying In a draught of tbls pure water tlnil carries in complete disguise certain mineral properties. So it inhere. The Hood River fever Is contagions, and nearly every one exposed catches It. BARRETT. John Helm lias a force of men at work digging up rocks, others cutting timlior and L, Dart hauling rock and building an everlasting fence. J. H. Intends to have his place just Al. These are the kind of men we want in Hood River valley men who make substantial improvements. .1. I. Miller is hauling firewood to the Kockford store. The proprietor intends to have things nice and cozy for the customers during the winter inotithB Step in anil inspect the new winter stock of rubbers, wool socks, gloves and imlteits for men, women and children B. F. Shoemaker had a team on the road almost every day last week, haul ing apples to tow n. Tim Ihivs find their way to Belmont church most every night, where revival services ore in progress. Neither rain nor snow keeps the hoys away from the services. T. (loss has the telephone established in hi residence. .Nothing like keeping mice with the tunes and fashions. Ity the wav. Harrott district is noted for being up-to-date. If you do not believe it, just call at Kockford. John Giblxms has been selling a large otiantitv of timothy liav this week to the Lumber Co. Mrs. Goddard is having her house fixed up. The carpenters have been working on it during last week. Mrs. Goddard wants things nice and cosy this winter. Two weeks ago Mr. Camp laid in his winter Hour by getting three barrels Last week he laid in a stin k of sugar and lanterns. Ho is going to have things light and sweet. . MOSIER.

Mrs. James Brown, who has been visiting a sick sister living near The Daltes, has returned home. In spite of the Inclemency of the weather, the Shallow social given by the Royal Neighbors Friday evening, proved a success both socially and financially. After a short program, containing several pleasing numliers, the gentlemen obtained their partners fr supper by buying the shadows of the young ladies sold to the highest bidder by Charles Phillips, who served ss auctioneer. After all had feasted on nectar and ambrosia tit for the gods, the young people enjoyed a dance until the "wee sum' hours." A social dance was given in Mr. Lamb's hall last Tuesday.

In future the meetings will tie helil at 3 o'clock p. m. and all young people are most cordially invited to be present. Rev. J, B. Snight delivered an Inter esting sermon on Hunday morning and evening to an appreciative audience. tie will lie wltn llie people oi moaier again on Christmas day, when he will preach at the parsonage or some otner convenient place In town. MOUNT HOOD. The ground was covered with the beautiful snow Sunday, for the flmt time this winter. The Mount Hood literary and debat ing society met last Saturday evening. We think it will be a good thing to have something lu opposition to the King's club. W. H. Durkee came home last Thurs day from the 'logging camp, where he has been working for the lust month or so. Richard Kdwards returned from California last Friday evening. He says he knows a good place when be finds it. We think the man that wrote the piece about the dust on the road to Mount Hood, must have strained him self some as far as the dust is concerned. We don't deny having some dust lu the dry weather, but we cannot see it as bad as be did. He saw the apples about right, only he did not see enough apples. We are sorry to see that C. R. Bone had trouble with the Hah warden in regard to sawdust. We are In hopes that Mr. Fish Warden may look along the fish streams a little closer, where fish are destroyed by the millions, instead ol going arounu over ine mountains, where fish cannot get In wet weather, aa in me case oi vj. it. Bone and the place where his mill is located. The young folks are getting ready to have a Christmas tree up here, and aa soon its the program hi arranged we will try and get hold of it and send it in. UNDERWOOD. S.
