HOOD RIVER, GLACIER,. THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1906. "GET TOGETHER" SAYS ODELL MAN By Roswell Shelley. Odell, Kant Hood River, April 11. During the .utt week there has been much (iisciirti-iou over the new water contracts submitted for signatures. by the Kat-t Fork Irrigating Co., the result beiiiK a public meetitiK held last Saturday evening at Flue drove, at which time a Konorul diHCuauiou of the contract va uiiKHed in. About all that wad accomplished at the meet iuK was the appuintiueut of a commit tee of three representative meu and patrons of the company to meet with Mr. Bone and take up the matter to the end that a compromise be ar ranged to the mutual SHtitfuction of the iutorected parties. At this writing 1 shall not enter iuto any discussion of the differences between the company and the water consumers, but indulge the hope that mutually satisfactory arrangements can be made. Of all the years in the history of Hood River valley, 1905 will be a memorable year. The Lewis and Clark fair will furnish opportuni ty for largely advertising the valley. There should be no seared patches that water will keep green. Kvery waiting inch of water that the Kast Fork Irrigating Co can furnish could surely bo profitably used in keeping green Hood Kiver valley, which almost entitled to be culled the first addition to the Uarden of Kden. (Our corre spondent is too modest, Hood River valloy is no suburb it is the whole thing. Kd. ) This is the opportunity of all Ore gon. Never bg.iin will we have a duplicate of this year's proceedings in Oregon. Let us then put on our best clothos and aid nature in round ing up a picture in our charming val ley to the end that this valley shall prove the Mecca of the tourist who visits the fair this year. R. Slocum, who has a homestead on the hills on the western slope of Dukes valley, called at Odell Sunday. Mr. Slocum has been here about 18 months and is satisfied, so much so, that last fall while on a trip to visit friends in the Kast he took unto him self a better half, who will soon join him here. He has already started an orchard which will be increasd as he develops his laud. These sturdy, genuine homesteaders who apply the law as it is iutended and build homes, are the class of citizenship that builds up a country. Yes, we have evidence plenty that Odell is a village for the old horse 'shoe game is in full blast in the main ttroet and ringers are earsily made by a member of the sporty class. Otto Khrck and Dane Kemp are the cham pion pitchers. They wear the honors this week. How about next? Some very excellent road work Is now being done in Odell district un der the direction of supervisor Frank A. Massee. We are glad to note a lively interest now manifest in be half of good roads, and with a lot of well directed volunteer work Mr. Massoe will leave a good record as a road supervisor for 1905. The more good work done this yoar the less will bo required next year. Besides get ting the benefit of good roads this season. We trust that the object les son taught this year, to-wit '.build well what Is done, will prove an incentive to follow it up until the district is full of good roads. Hubert Morton returned to us last week after quite an extended business trip, (ilad to get back, and full of lraise of our valley. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Bone of Willow Flat made a pleasant call on Mr. and Mr. Shelley of this place last Sunday. Mr. Van Horn, who is largely inter ested in the Kast Hood River Orchard Co., is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Hone this week. Frank 13. Runcorn is spending the week with his brother at Salem, Ore gon. These are busy, strenuous days at Odell with road work and troe plant ing and grubbing and seeding. The pay roll is heavy. Both old aud young men are at work. Not an idle man in this neck of tile woods. If there is a solitary man not employed he is either incapacitated or lazy. There are some old fellows who are weary and sore when the honest day's work is over, yet to ail such there is rest when night comes on and "pins her curtains with the stars." Work to the ahlebodied man is the most precious boon that could be bestowed upon him. In the April number of the Pacific monthly we lind an excellent cut of Mount Hood. Beneath the picture we read an eloquent poem written by Mr. Sutton of.Los Angeles, one stanza of which wo beg to copy to-wit: Scarred by the wounds of aeons, Soothed by the kisses of God, Rearing thy crown of glory Monarch of sea and sod. Mr. Friedly, the accommodating carrier of Route No. 1 informs us that of all the daily papers distributed along his route very few renewals of subscriptions are given him. He desires that we call the attontion of your renders to this matter, and pays that lie is prepared to renew these Mihecriptious, the publishers paying him a commission for the same. This matter should not bo overlooked in the futuie for these commissions would help to swell what is now (con sidering exj euses) a very meagre sal ary. Mr. Friedley is au etllcient, wot thy carrier mid is certainly en titled to all the i erquieites and cour-te.-ies attached to the business. Mr. WhiBiis' suggestion that we meet at the Happy limiting Ground park and celebrnte the 4th of July is timely, ami will no doubt meet the approval of the people of the valley. Let's all get in and whoop it up and make the- coming Fourth a day Jong to be remembered. Nature has beeu b.vl h at the Falls, making it a de lightful place for a day's outing. Come along and get acquainted with neighbors, and have a good time. MOUNT HOOD. C. P. Schmidt and Frank Ries have o.'ch purchased a tew wagon. 1 rospeuty is striking us.

Darling of Corvallis and giaced the initial page of the February number of the College Barometer, a i. agazine published by the student of O. A. C. The etfusiou is not without merit which is "owed" not to any personal knowledge of the writer, w e are told, but to his acute imagination, fed by literary gems gleaned from occasional copies of the Glacier which fell iuto his bauds through tie carelessness of some of the other students. We olfer this consolation to John, that if he is as artful in wooing the gentle Muse when building a pome to his dulciaua she will surely think him a Darling, and. that, if he will visit Hood River during the tedious hours of his sum mer vacation we will show him such sights aud feed him such fruits as were never dreamed of in the halcyone days when Greece was young and the gods and goddesses feasted on the fruits of the Flvsinn fields and made love to each ether whilst making life a burden to mortals. Eureka! Eureka ! "Tis Kden again, A place where angels might wish to remain. Where apple trees blossom and night ingales sing, And humming birds flutter on golden wing. 'Tis here whore the sky is ever azure and clear, And the sun ever lives to give com fort and cheer, For he ripens the grain and flavors the cherry, And crimsons the cheek of the luscious strawberry. The North has its blizzards, its hail storms anil rain : The South has its tropical sun to sus tain; The East has its winter of frost laden breeze. Whilst hero we are fiee from such evils as these. Then come to this paradise haven of rest. As tempost-tossed sparrows fly home to their nest ; Come find sweet repose and midst violets recline. In the shade of the peach tree and wide-spreading pmo. The nights are so cool in this laud of the blest, Inducing sweet sleep in the season of rest ; The mornings so bright and the noon day so clear That forget-me-nots blossom each mouth in the year. In springtime the valleys rich blos soms unfold. The lilies of silver and poppies of gold. True emblems of wealth that the green earth contains, In creek and in canyon and deep hid den vein. Hibernians boast of their valleys and lakes, And Scotchmen may vaunt of their land of oat cakes. Let Irishmen talk of their "Emrald isle" I'll inhale the fresh air of Hood River the while. 'Tis life, it is health, supelative bliss, To live in a laud of good cheer such as this ; So, here lot mo live, and, yes, hero' let me die, In the land of the apple and ever-blue sky.
