CORRESPONDENCE.
f ODELL.
The Odd Fellows' bull Is nearlng
completion. Rumor linn t that It will
be ready for tbe hollduy festivities.
There will be a festival given here on
the 28th, under 'the direction of Mm.
Frank Nefl", who has been elected mu
sical director. There is plenty of mu
leal and literary talent In the com
munity, and the adveut of the Neil's
will have a, tendency to develop it.
Thin entertainment will be of a high
order but free to all and well worih
' hearing. Tbe pnblio is cordially in
vited to attend. And It la tbe wIhIi of
the-iiiansgemeut that you bring along
your purses and patronize the bool lis
that will be lu evidence there. The
proceeds of this entertainment will go
toward seating and otherwise fixing
up the church, Wbiuh for about three
yean has been a crying necessity.
There Isn't much suiri'estlon of sanctity
In the appearance of a rough Interior
or a cDurcn witu uo eotntortaoie seats,
. Heubert Morton has sold and trans
ferred his lease upon the Koberts place
(tne oi a uuoii homestead) ana win
soon leave Hood Klver valley. Air.
Morton has by his worthy and gen
erous conduct endeared himself to the
people of Udell. Mr. Morton has truly
proven himself a kind, generous mood
and good neighbor. What greater
monument could a mat) desire? ills
departure from us Is a serious loss to
me community, and on behalf or the
good people of Odell. we wish him all
the success he deserves wherever his
lot may be cast.
Id January, road supervisors will" he
appointed. The friends of good mads
should at once recommend to Commis
sioner Hibbard some suitable 4ersnn
for tbe place. Tbe taxpayers of the
district should be entitled to name the
man.
Recently, while on my way home
from town, J. W. Moore hailed me,
saying he had Just learned something.
As I was looking for news, I asked him
what It was, aud here are his words:
1 "When I commenced clearing tbe rock
from this piece of ground I first hauled
all the small rock off; and in digging
out the big ones 1 am at a loss to know
What to All tbe boles with. I was a
fool." Tell your neighbors that
When they want to clear their land of
rocks to reserve -the small ones U) fill
Up the holes made by removing the
larger ones. We never get too old to
learn. My advice to Bid. Moore Is to
come over to East Hood Klver valley
and oease his warfare on rocks.
The Slanderer. The word slander
probably is the very licst definition of
cussedness that the English language
could furnish, and the slanderer is the,
most dangerous type of humanity that
Infests any community. They Insin
uate themselves iuto churches; thev
orawl in .under disguise into fraternal
organizations, and leave their venom
ous sting of poison on everything they
touch. They are fit reminders of the
one thousand lepers that are today
crawling through the streets of their
doomed city outside the gates of Can
ton, China, who are public charges and
who simply exist without living. Head
Proverbs, 17th chapter.
roioruon evidently was a judge of
bumau nature, and his words of wis
dom are verified even down to the 20th
century. Truth Is stranger than no
tion. This axiom is fitly Illustrated In
the Proverbs of Solomon. Special at
tention Is called to the 12lh verse of the
17th chapter.
Some time ago It was reported that
new road was to be opened up run
ning east from the Little White Store
and connecting us with the Pine Grove
. road near Frank Stanton's place. This
proposed road would proves great pub
lic convenience, and we hope the mat
ter will lie taken up soon and crowded
to completion. Good toads aud plenty
of them help to develop any country.
In conversation recently with James
Steele aud Paul Auhert, we were In
formed that Air. Steel raised orer 100
tons of bay last seasou unil Air. Aubeit
over 50 tons. Air. Steele has now more
than 50 tons to place on the market.
They are located ubotit Vi miles out
from town, and tht-y informed me that
laud In their vicinity was being ollercd
at fiO to $25 an acre. Who said that
this country was lelng boomed? There
is no safer investment on earth than in
Hood Klver valley laud. And the fel
low who waits will pay more, liny
now.
Winn H!ltiard Is now living on his
place. He has (cured his 8-ncre traet
west or tne road and Intends to truce
across the road bis tract south of Air.
Copple's place. He has built a cble
and next year Intends to mnld a suo
stantiul residence where he lives. He
Is now having a lot of rick wood cut
and otherwise Improving bis place.
Surveyors were lu the field last week
running lines lor the prospective Ore
gon Lumber CVh railroad. They were
running nown leai creeK, with K fc.
Harbison s place as a starting point.
The next lines run will probably be up
Udell creek, which is easily the most
practical route to reach the timber lictt
lielnnglng to the company. A railroad
up the valley Is no idle dream but will
soon be a reality unci a paying invest
ment, and in niy opinion there will he
a line up liotli Neul creek and Odell
creek, hioping Fast Hood Klver valley.
Mr. Gai'bade anil wife of Portland
were up lo their Willow Flat ranch
last Sunday, Mr, (iarado will soon
have a family on his place. Perhaps
he may move there himself.
There are rumor of Christina wed
dings in the neighborhood. That's
right, boys; for come to think of it, you
are only a half of a man until you're
married.
tieorge T. Prather informs me that he
has sold SO acres of the old IMvers place. I
I lie sale covers the unimproved por
tion, which will be Improved, and this
means another family In the neighbor
hood. The cutting of the land into
small tracts and improving it means
mucn to in country and increases val
ues peamnitently,
The Little White Store wants to com
mence the new year with a clean sheet.
And If those wfio are owing will kind
ly call and get a receipt in full, we
shall not only greatly appreciate It but
will be in position to continue furnish
ing fresh goods at the lowest possible
prices.

Salmon schiol Wednesday evening. It
was opened by au Excellent program,
consisting of a debate on tbe question,
"Resolved, That the Indians of the

In conversation with J. W. McCoy
we leant that he and Irell Thomas are
commencing work on a new steam saw
mill to be put up in the fine belt of
limner on Cedar Mat, near W. M.
Wood's place. This is, undoubtedly.
a good project, as there is an extra tine
.iioiiy ot t miner Hud or very easy access,
and the demand for lumber will un
doubtedly be very brisk the coming
season.
(i. A. Thomas of this place went to
Portland, Wednesday, to sell a lot of
apples, ot which he has some very tine
ones. Alany of them were three-tier
apples, and it took just 54 of them to
fill a box. They are not only very
large but are highly colored, beautiful
a p (iles, and Mr. Thomas ought to get
fancy prices for them. He will cer
tainly surprise the Webfoolers. who
imagine they can raise some apples
themselves.
HOSIER.
Air. Hrongher, who has moved into
our iieighlkirhood but recently, has
cither brought with him a spirit of en
terprise, or has caught the feeling of en
thusiasm which seems to pervade our
stirring community, as we take notice
that he is energetically at wprk clear
ing a beautiful tract of aliout 10 acres
upon which it is bis intention to plant

allliction and liereavcnient.

courage by riding horseback over the
mountains from Hood River.
DUKES VALLEY.
We are having fine weather here for
this time of year. There has been no
snow to sK-ak of, and the ground has
not been frozen but a few mornings.
I am pleased t ssy tha; tbe sick are
all getting nhiig nicely and in a few
days will be able to get back to their
work. The doctor has quit visiting our
valley, and we hope all will get along
without the aid of a doctor hereafter.
There is a revival meeting going on
at our school house. We would be
glad to see all turn out and take an
interest in these services, as we believe
it is tbe right thing to do.
Our literary will meet Friday even
ing of each week, and we would be
glad to have every one come out aud
help in this work and make a lively
time, as there Is no reason why we
can't have one.
There was a land buyer in our valley
the first of this week, but thriter
did not learn wbat he thought of our
valley. He was looking at W. 6. Dod
son's place with the thought of buying.
We would regret toJ lose Mr. Dodsou
and family, but perhaps if he sells he
would .locate close by, for we don't
think he could leave here and stay
away long, as he has enjoyed the good
health and good water here too long to
want a change.
F. A. Massey also has a man looking
at 40 acres of Ids land with the thought
of buying, but Mr. Massey has 80
acres, and we do not believe he would
leave us if he does sell 40. At least we
hope not.
As Christmas Is drawing near, the
writer wishes the Glacier and all its
readers a merry Christmas and happy
New Year. And may we all try and
be better neighbors and live closer to
Christ than we ever did before. This
is my prayer and best wishes.

I was much surprised to read In a
Utile monthly paper we take, pub
lished In Rochester, N. Y., a descrip
tion of Hood River's display of fine
apples at the St. l.nuis fair. It ran
thus: "Oregon had a display from the
Hood River country such as were never
before displayed at any apple show In
America. Here Baldwin were, so
smooth and glossy red that it could not
be recognized by most apple experts.
Ksopus Spltzenberg had its character
istic shape but its color and general
perfection were a marvel. Koxbury
Russet showed scarcely a trace of russet.
Grimes looked as though it had been
made of wax. Jonatbou was crimson
red. Ben Davis was equally hand
some. Washington made a smaller
apple show of the same character as
that from Oregon. Penned by Pro
fessor H. E. "Van Demau, associate
editor."
