Its! . t . 0 0 G O HOOD RIVEK GLACIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1905. CORRESPONDENCE ODELL. The cold snap last week proved an angel's visit to the Little White Store two ule. Ubas. Davis kindly tendered the use of his ice house and together we succeeded in bousing about ten tons of ice. made from spring water on Mr. Davis' place. This will enable as to furnish an abundance of oold soft drinks next summer, when tbe tber mometer runs tbe mercury np. It bas been three years slnoe an opportunity was had for storing ioe, and this time there were only three good days to put It np. Alfred Wood of Odell last week old 20 acres of land for a cash con sideration of 11500. The purchaser had looked the Willamette valley over turning his back npon tbe very best land three, aud chose Hood River valley as his place of investment, pay ing double here for uncleared and unimproved land, that cleared and Improved land there would cost, and whyT Well, perhaps I may not be correct in my theory, but it is my opinion that it was not alone on account of the advertising of our products, but that the elements of the soil, whicb have been proven here by an anal ysis of the same, show up cer tain properties that give tbe apple tree a vigorous gowtb. developing a peerless apple, and at the same time E lacing color upon it that cannot e duplicated on earth, and last but not least transmits the keeping quali ty that results in its finding its way into the world's best markets. Tbe biennial legislature has passed into history, with some of its members under criminal Indictment and oth ers under suspicion. It is comfort ing thongbt that two years will pan by e'er they infest tbe state again. In this connection I beg to quote from benator Malarkey of Multnomab explaining his vote on the Jayne bill, to-wlt:"I want to tell you the morals of the state have been debauched more by trading of rotes In this senate than by all the whisky that could have been poured out in Oregon." Surely Senator Malarkey was in position to know whereof he spoke, and we are candidly of tbe opinion that he spoke the truth, and it might come to pass that a certain section of tbe county that we are at home in might be called upon to answer for oertaln conditions of bargain and sale during the days of disreputable work of the session of the legislature. Time brings Its reward. Three years ago tnese violators or tbe law deslunat ed as land frauders thought they were secure from harm by tbe government, entrenohed as they were behind offi cials In congress; but alas I their strongholds have been shattered, and by oommand of oar honored Dresl deut, aided by such men as Ueney and Burns, there Is little doubt that In April a verdict of guilty will be found. Then it will come to pass that in Ore gon, which has been deluged by a flood of disgrace by men In high places, we may see the fulfillment of tbe words of an almost Inspired presi dent, tbe Honorable Theodore Roose velt, to-wit: That tbe country shall have a "square deal" administration. Oregon is on the map although it is disgraced, yet give the people aohanoe under the nominating primary law nd IU good same will yet be re deemed. Sure thing gmes la politics will not always be allowed to run. At tbe next state election this game will be closed in Oregon and it will be done by the voters, who are tbe people and who should assert their rights. Mra. O. D. Boardman was a visitor at Odell last week.

Tbe Menominee Lumber Co. has closed their big logging camp, com monly known us Colter's logging camp, which is situated aoout V2 miles below Trout, Lake on tbe White Salmon river. This Co. controlled tbe logging camps of Trout Lake which suspended operations some days ago. The settlers of this valley object to this company operating a dam on tbe White Salmon river which is located near what is known as the Harvey Byrkett ranch. The dam Jis operated by gates which can lie lowered and raised . When tbe dam is tilled tho gates are raised and a tremendous volume of water rushes down the stream which forces the logs to the Columbia river. The settlers claim by the use of this dam destruct ive Hoods are let out, that wash out their irrigation bead gate and in other ways, injure the irrigating ditches, U'ing a great detriment to their crops. Thy Menominee Co. claim they cannot move tbe timler of this vulley unless assisted by the use of this dam. Both sides .claim they are in the right. Afraid of Strong Medicines.

Defeat of the Cascade county bill fa irly reeks with politics. To be sure it is a nood thinjj for The Dalles, but if press reports are to be given any credence, the public officials who de serted their posts of public trust to lobby aiudnst the new county will surely be remembered by tbe Hood Kiver voters when they seek reelec tion. As regards increased taxation we wish to cite an instance now in process of closing by the county court. An estate iu Hood River is now being settled up. So far the ex ecutor has been compelled to make two trips to The Dalles on business connected with it. The necessary ex penses aro approximately 95 per trip. If tho new county bill had passed this flu could have lieen saved to the estate. In addition, this same $10 would have more than paid the in crease iu taxes hy maintaining a set of county officials at home. Aud the end is not yet. Every estate in Hood Kiver to be settled up while the seat of government is at The Dalles must pay tribute to tho transportation companies and the city of The Dalles. ould it not lie better to say and en force it, "Millions for defense (main taining our own county) but not one cent for tribute?" The discussion at literary Saturday night of an independent telephone system leads us to the question : Will it lie a benefit to the valley? There are many good arguments in favor of such a system. The main feature is tho lessened cost to the farmers on party lines. llusiness phones can be furnished at ono dollar per mouth for good first-class service, io the farm ers ou party lines the cost need not exceed one dollar per year after thr line is installed, lji this case it is supposed that the farmers furnish the labor and material for such party lines. We have in mind party lines owned by the farmers and built by them at a cost of less than 10 for each patron, this amount included cost of phones. Why pay the Hell Telepbono company rent at a price to enable them to declare dividends when the people can furnish their own phones and get as good service at actual cost? There was a fair attendance at the literary Saturday night. The pro gram, though short was exceptionally well reudered. Tbe question box was the most interesting feature of the evening. J. O. Cameron dis-; cussed the evils arising from dancing, i Thomas liroderick discussed the bene-1 received a full assorted carload of Cnrrioc and Spring Wagons direct factory.

Roy Slocom discussed some of the features of the homestead laws as applied to leased laud. M. Cameron bandied the proposed rail road proposition without gloves. D. L. Davidson wag asked concerning tbe benefits accuring to Dukes valley by reason of the defeat of the Cas cade county bill. There was also the usual numlier of foolish questions which kept the bouse iu the best of humor.. Tbe question box will be used again next Saturday night. This being election night, tho fol lowing otiicerg were elected for the ensuing four weeks: D. L. Davidson, president; Thomas Broderick, vice president j Geo. Massey, gecretatry; M. Cameron, treasurer ; Len Dodson, seargeaut at arms. Excellent music was furnished by A. T. Dodge and sou and Pete Lentz. Everybody "is cor dially invited to attead and if you hive any good live questions bring them along with you. Our recent inquiry concerning the railroad has beeu answered in tbe form of a subscription paper to raise money for buying right of way and paying damages to the East Side ranchers, through whose farms the road will go. Now, we are not knocking against the railroad, but wish to analyze tbe situation as it appears to us. Tbe Oregon Lumber company have timber enough on tbe headwaters of Hood River to justify the building of the road without regard to any other freight. , That the road will pe built on one of tbelroutes is reasonably well set tled. The plan to build along the West Side because it is the cheapest route is prima facea tbat the backers are indifferent to any freight busi ness other than their own. There can be no question that Willow Flat and Odell will furnish in a short time more revenue freight than all the other parts of the valley com bined. Now if tbe company is look ing for the most possible revenue in connection with their logging opera tions it would lie sheer madness to build along any route but the one that would furnish the most produce. The wood shipped out the first year would return a handsome dividend on this extra liO,000 or 970, OK) neces sary to build by way of Odell. CRAPPER. The weather wa too cold last week for news gathering, indeed tbe blood of the old Florida Cracker is too thin for zero weather. William Eccles, president of the Oregon Lumber company and Jlr. West spent a few hours a few days a.o iu the neighborhood looking over tht country and talking railroad Since the receut cold snap there has been an unusual amount of sick ness. The cases of grip and other diseases caused by the cold weather are too numerous for reporting. Nathan Hackett, who went to Port B from the Bikes, Buggies, Runabouts. was ever tinned. Whatever land threo weeks ago, is still ' at that place suffering with an attack of the grip. Miss Omez of The Dalles is visiting with Mrs. Lindsay. Tho revival meeting at the Crapper school house closed on last Sunday night. There were not a great num ber of conversions or accessions to the church but in a general way the meeting was quite encouraging. Evangelists Coburn and lirymer are very earnest workers. They held quite a number of cottage prayer meetings in the neighborhood during the meeting. They have also adopted the almost obsolete custom of visiting from bouse to house. And although they do not carry hatchets, they sometimes push their evangelistic work into the saloons. They expect to rest a few days at Belmont and Hood River. From the latter place they expect to go to Dufur to engage in a series of meetings at that place. Rev. II. C. Clarke is also a very earnest and successful worker. There have been over 100 conversions and accessions to the church on the lielmout circuit since he took charge of the work last fall. The total num ber of members is more than double what it was at tbat time. It litis been decided tbat the machin ery, as well as the amusements on the "Trail" at the Lewis and Clark ex position will be stopped on Sunday. Tbe exhibit palaces w ill be open to the public and all oilier features of the ex position will be running as on week davs. Feed your hair; nourish It; give it something to live on.
