HOLD RIVER GLACIER, THUhtJDAY, APRIL 6, 1905. I ODELL MAN AT BEULAII LAND By Roswell Shelley. Odell, East Hood River, April 4. A trip last Friday to Deulah Land to witness the trial of Mr. Vanderbilt's new Wallace power sprayer was full of interest to um. The sprayer works to protection, lie has the standard machine, with pressure from 80 to 120 pounds. They make the duplex ma chines for pressures of 150 to '2U0 pounds. Mr. Vunderbilt Informs us that there is a saving with this machine of 10 for each spraying of his orch ard. This being the case, it is easy to be seen that the machines will pay for Itself in one season. This will surely revolutionize the spraying business of the valley. The tttundaril machine oosts 1150 f. o. b. at Champaign, Ills., and freight in car lots would approximate 110 to $12 for each sprayer. Months had elapsed since our last peep at the Beulab Laud ranch, (which, by the way, is always a treat to us) and we find many substantial Improvements since our last visit. Ills new red barn is 30x48 feet and complete in every detail, lie is fin ishing up an apple house 30x32 feet with a packing house as an addition 12x32 font, and a store room for boxes up stairs 20x20 feet, and two sleeping rooms. on the upper floor. His apple bouse will be tripple walled, circulat ing the air freely, yet keeping the temperature moderate. His packing house walls on the south aud west will be all window lights, furnishing plenty of light and sunshine, through out the whole, bis apple and packing house will lie a model of perfecton. This apple house will be painted white. On our arrival there we found the hostess, Mrs. Vanderbilt, busily en gaged preparing lunch for their force of workers. This she was doing out of necessity because of the fact that it seems next to impossible to get good help for household work, and yet she was doing it willingly and well. The stacks of chicken already out and pinned on plates ready for broiling wits tempting, but duty called us borne before the lunch hour. We uudersood that afterward liro. Moe and wife were there to enjoy the lunch. Kvery room lu the house but the kitchen was torn up, and being re modeled. The floors and walls throughout the bouse are being paint ed and the floors varnished until they shine. The lowor part of the house 1h tinted a light treraootta. while on the second floor we find the following colors: One, ecru; one, light green ; one, lightj blue ; the balance of them being terracotta. Their luxurious furniture brought with them from the Hast was piled out side on the wide-spreading porch that runs from the southeast corner to the northwest corner of the house. This wide zigziglng porch is one of the de lightful features of the comfortable, luxurious home, commanding a view uortward of landscape, river aud snow-crowned mountains rarely equalled. The rounding up of the picture is found in the wide-spreading green lawn, the well-kept orchard, of which cherries and (teaches are in full bloom. Mr. Vanderbilt, in addition to having paid a large sum of money for this ruinous ranch, Is still bucking bis judgment with his money In mak ing it one of the most, if not the most charming and attractive places inlall of the .fur-fumed Hood River valley. They have innumerable roses to bedeck the place, lu addition to more than 40 acres of fruit trees now growing he Is planting 12 acres more this spring. lu addition to his rev enue producing property, be has imported game cocks and other fowls t lint represent lu the market 50 to the bird. He has also imported sever al settings of eggs that are highly prized i iv nun. We commend Mr. Vanderbilt for his enterprise as well as judgment on his investment among us, and shall always consider it a favor to have the pleasure of writing of the beautiful aud pic turnsquo homes of this the banner little valley of all the Northwest. Ii. A. E. Clark is here to stay. Ijst week he purchased a wagon from the Little White Store, and a team You (should be just an ciuvful in rhoosiii"' .your Drug gist ns in choosing a confidential firm. You ought to have as much confidence in his honesty as in his ability, bmuise health and oftentimes life depends on his integrity ami ability in compounding the medicine your physician orders. There are found one, one to him. However, if vou are not perfect lv respectfully solicit a trial, feeling very confident that when you get acquainted with us and our kind of service you will hav; no occasion to go elsewhere. Come in and siv anything or not. Smith llros. from Percy Shelley. He got three bead for the low price of two, there being a young colt in the deal. Mr. Clark is a judge of horses and has made no mistako. He knows a colt's tooth from that of an old horse. Referring to the Glacier's item in the last issue relative to the German who once conducted a distillery which gave the creek the name of Whisky creek, we beg to state that it was our pleasure to meet what you termed us the old German, and here are his words "while that article was in the Fress I whs walking the streets of lood River." Then he continues in this vein: "You tell the Glacier that I am back again and dot 1 look for locate in, and dot I tbinkf I locate at What do you cull this comer? I think I locate at Odell." Hut the name of Odell creek will not be changed. "Talk about the devil and he is sure to appear." ISy the way John Schletzel is not an old man, but a very nice looking gentle man, and he says be is not so old but that be has teeth. The subscription paper for the pur pose of advertising the valley is meet ing with favor here at Odell. The poo pie are not subscribing very largi sums, but they manifest a lively in terest in the matter and seem to want to have a bund in it. This is not only a very worthy matter, but has been taken up by the Hood River Com mercial club at a very opportuno time. Never in the history of Hood River valley or the state at largo was there such a splendid opportunity to adver tise our valley and its resources with so mull an outlay. The future effect up on the fctate and section will prove far-reaching in its results. Nothing pays better. Push it along. Mr. Smith, who is running the Gar bade ranch on Willow Flat, informs us that he got a valuuplo horse cut In a barb wire fence. There should be a state law against the erection of a barbwire fence. More accidents happen to horses from this source than all others and the majority of nil the horses in the valley are scurred. Rev. Troy Shelley, after several months' absence from home, preached last Sunday at 11 a. in. to a large audience on the following text : "The wages of sin is death." He was earnost and forceful. While the text refers to a spirituul deat h, yet he applied It to the physical side of life also. One thought especially im pressed us, to-wit: "1'liat the wages were always paid, and that, too, with out a check on the bauk; that the devil was a faithful pay master j that a life wrecked by sin could no more recoup his spirituul stock than could the old man on the brink of the grave regain his fortune after having amassed a large sum of this world's goods aud losing the same through some financial crisis. It la a pleasure Indeed to take a look through the country during these balmy days of spring. Lust Sunday afternoon wife and I made a trip through the Willow Flat district, noting substantial improvements since our last trip there. We intended call ing upon and swapping yurns with your correspondent there, but he was out, no doubt rustling news notes, so were compelled to forego the pleasure. As your paper is ably represented there we will not enter into any de tailed account concerning our im pressions of the drive, but desire to say lu general way that in the lust three years, development work up there exiuals. if not exceeds any sim ilar area of territory in the valley of Hood River. The investments are of a substantial character as well as made upon a large settle, and lu i very rapid manner. Many aocom pUshes results quickly, and there Is no spot in all the valley that attests this fact more clearly than does the Willow Flat country. C. R, Hone and wife are comfort ably quartered In their summer house aud received us oordlally. Air.

Mr. Hayter was our guest lust year rliilo attending the press association, and knows whereof ho speaks: "1 note with much pleasure the steady development of the fumous Hood River vuliey. The excellence of its products bus indued won for it world-wide fame, and yet its era of prosporiy has only just begun. A railroad circling the valley will prove of Inestimable importance in hasten ing the progress of development, and your people positively cannot afford to be without. 1 am sure that the en terprising business men of Hood Kieer and tho wide-awake farmers nnd orchard ists of the vuliey fully ap preciute this fact, and that the im provement will lie carried forward to an eurly completion with the i-ame zeal and enthut iam that have char acterized every undertaking of Hood Kiver people In the past.

RAPID INCREASE APPLE ACREAGE Special Correspondence. Willow Flat, Kast Hood River, April 4. The Odell correspondent and wife were driving over the Flat last Sunday, noting the immense amount of improvement that is at pres ent and has for the past two years been doing. There is no one locality in the valley that commands the finan cial support that is found behind the development of this comparatively small area. Two years ago, 40 acres would include all the land under cul tivation. Today there are 2H0 acres under cultivation and nearly all of which is or will be this spring set to apples. Old settlers and new as well, after becoming acquainted with ex isting conditions, liavo repeatedly SHid to us that Willow Flat presented the best commerciul proposition to be found in the Hood Kiver vuliey. And further, the average increase in the cultivuuble land of 120 acres per year amply corroborates the above state ment. The recent rains have materially retarded the farm work in general and the setting of trees in particular. While we are thankful for it in behalf of those who cannot get water with which to irrigate, it has also lessened the task of irrigating for those who are in reach of witter, The work on the roads has also been seriously in terfered with, aud at a time of the season when time is a most important factor. "Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long" Your Odell correspondent has surely been studying the biography of J. Q. Adams, judging from the number of his wants, rather than that of the poets. lint his wants as enumerated would be a blessing to the communi ty if the right men were to take up these various propositions. To tho ranchers who live seven or eight miles from town these conveniences would ave many a long hard trip that now has to bo made to the metropo lis. We have been credibly informed that there is a movement on foot to establish a bunk at Odell. Such a move would doubtless be of much ben efit to the community. However, we are inclined to the belief that' a farm ers' independent telephone company, if proprely conducted, would lie of vastly more benefit to the valley. If every farmer 'were a subscriber it would be only a questionof time until tho business men of Hood River, ever alive to their best interests, would be subscribers to such a system, where the cost of maintenance and operation would be reduced to a mini mum. Such systems are operated at a profit all over the Kuut and in many parts of our own state.und give better satisfaction thun Is possible from pri vate companies. Why not have one here? Every one who is interested in the advertising of the valley should cull us soon us possible on one of tho mem bers of the advertising committee. Don't wait to be asked to ' subscribe, but hurry up. Hunt up your nearest committeeman, ask for the list and subscrllie. The Lord loves a cheerful giver. ora Kay will lu a short time move to the place be recently purchased of F. H. . Naylor. Mr. Kay has given the house an overhauling aud expects to erect an addition in a short tune, As soon as practical he expects to set out upples. The place is located on the road laid out last full between Troy Shelley's place and that of O. H. Rhoudes, giving him as soon us the road Is opened a direct route to town by wuy of the F.ast Side. District Clerk Frank A Mussoe, iias received the new planetary orrery which the school board recently pur chused. With this instrument tho teacher will bo better enabled to dem onstrate the various revolutions of the solar system. MOSIER.

After having spent sevend monthsin Tho Dalles, Mrs. F'red Evans und her infant sou returned home last week. A sister from Furmingtou is visit ing Mrs. Stewart, partly with tho hope of regaining lost health. Judging from the amount of fishing poles in evidence Saturday, the Iwgiu uing of the fishing season, Mosier creek must have been llshed dry. The Rev. Tabor, from The Dalles, delivered an interesting sermon Sun day morning and evening to an appr eciative congregation. Mr. Gibert left on the first for bis home on Pine Flat to take his semi annual vacation. His vacancy will lie tilled by Mr. Walkers of Seattle.

Mr. A. P. Batoham purchased lust. week, in The Dalles a span of spirited horses. The fact of their being a high-lifed team was no doubt strong ly impressed on Leo Root last week. While in his attempt to shoe them he was almost hurled into eternity with out warning as to whether it was well for his soul. After the usual routine of business in tho Royal Neighbors lodge, the Woodmeu were invited to participate lu a tutuqucl. Saturday evening the Misses Mi dlewarts entertained their friends with a lively hop. On Wednesday the people of Mo sier were favored with a theatrical performance by a minstrel show.
