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)

Shelley goes to Santa Barbara, t'al., to
find relief from rheumatism. We wish
him a Don voyage, the speedy relief

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.

sickness or necessary employment.
"Whenever the unexcused absences
of any pupil during any term shall
amount in the aggregate to seven days,
he shall be reported to the directors
and the teacher may suspend him until
the opinion of the directors can be
taken."
Parents, please take notice and assist
the teachers in fulfilling the law, aa
well as aiding in a more regular attend
ance, thus securing more thorough
work in school.
