HOCD KIVER GLACIER, THUKdDAY, APRIL 27, 1905 CROPS LOOKING FINE AT ODELL By KoBweU Shelley. Odell, Kant Hood River, April 25. Tbe recent warm weather bas quick ened nature, and life is infused into all growing crops and they seem to grow by leap aud bounds. A look at tbe blooming apple or chards and the berry fields of tbeWest Sido was one of the luxuries of a drive last Sunday. Of tbe many beau tiful, almost perfect berry fields that plcHne the eye along the West Side, perhaps that of K. N. Benson presents the most charming appearance. Tbe pei feet curving of tbe rows around thit hillsides; and knoll after knoll, rising one above the other with tbe neatly trimmed poplar trees to tbe west rounds up a picture, and probably one that calls forth tbe loudest praise from tourists. With white blossoming orobards and berry fields studded with green aud white; with green Held and meadow and ever green hills, and above aud beyond, the snow crowned mountains towering high above the valley at one sweep of the vision, we gii.e with wonder,yea reverence, upon a picture In nature that no artists brush can duplicate. Last Sunday K. N. Iilythe of the Qbioier paid Odell a visit, being the guext of the Little White Store People. In the afternoon we took inl some of tbn country adjacent to Odell. We called at the home of Chris Detbman and found him comfortable in hit easy chair, a thing we are all seeking but not ail of us find a location ou easy street. Chris Is there and we con gratulate him upon tbe enjoymeut of his comfortable home,and his revenue from the red apple. Mr. Dethman suggests a novel scheme for advertis ing Hood Kiver valley, which is In sultance as follows: Select a tree loaded with fruit aud take it up and transport it in a wagon ; transfer it to tbe boat and ship to Portluaud. On arriving there form a procession, beading tbe procession I Smith Block. I a w atch LARAWA Will tell about his Stock of Fine Jewelry with a Hood River pioneer dressed in working clothes grubbing hoe in band and finally bring up the rear with this wagon bearing the applo tree laden with fruit. While standing be isde the tree will be this same old pioneer, not now wearing a laborer's garb but a prosperous, well-dressed gentleman of whom there are many in Hood River valley. This is but a brief outline of the plan, which, if successfully carried out would prove tbe very best advertising scheme that probably could be suggested. The result would follow that no stranger looking at this unique procession would ever forget Hood River valley. Chris always has something up bis sleeve but this is a trump and trumps always take the trick. George T. Prather was a caller at Odell Sunday. Mr. Prather has sub stantial Interests in this section and Is glad to note tbe prosperity of Odell. Hubert Morton, who bas spent about two years here, having trans ferred his lease on the Odell ranch, left last Monday for a visit to bis childhood borne in Scotland. lie bus been absent from home over three years, during which time his father died . Mr. Morton has made tunny friends here who will be glad of bis return, which will probably be in August. In our paragraph about the Ulucier man, we should have said he was a welcome visitor. Perhaps he will tell you about his trip. The latch-string is always out. Come again, Ned. Last Sunday Easter services were conducted in the church and a very excellent program was rendered, in which the Sunday school scholars all had a part. The church was packed to the door and the services were heartily enjoyed by those present, credit for the success of the is enter tainment Is largely due to M.D. Odell tbe superintendent of tbe Sunday school and Mrs. Frank Nelf , who had charge of tbe music Recently the sound of the hammer has been heard in the church and we now take pleasure in noting the fact that the carpenter work of the church is finished, and the church comforta bly seated with as nice seats as can lie found in any country place. Mr. Nelf and lioyd secured a bargraiu in seat- WHY Aro ho many people troubled with headache, biliousness, liver, kidniy and bowel trouble? Do they epecinlly abuse these organs so they become overworked and cannot fulfill their proper function? In most of cases no; Nature Requires a Cleaning of the System. Like the best of well kept houses there conies 1 imes when a general overhauling is necessary to restore things to their former perfect conditions. To do this nature requires some aid. SYRUP OF FIGS has been found to be one of the best preparations for this purpose. It is pleasant to take, is perfectly harmless, gen tle in its action, and works as a thorough cleanser ami invigorator to the whole system. It costs but 2.r and 50 cents per bottle. Headquarter for Swift's Arsenic of Lead REIR CASS, ReliablelDruggists. This tSpace ends some tiino hud in Portland. This being done from the proceeds of lat winter's concerts, Messrs. Odell, Neff aud others contributed to tbe work of putting them in, which was done Jin ahighly atii-fiietory manner. Ou behulf of ttio people of Odell we feel justified in saying that we think there in a feeling of pride over the fact of the completion of a work that has to long been in progress. Report says thiit work ou the lateral went of Odell w ill soon commence. We hope it Im true and that we may have water this year. The railroad companyfhas been in evidence recently, arbitrating damage claims for rights of way, Work of grading is going steadily ou and this is assurance that tbe irou horse will soon follow. HASH liAUi GAME. Odell vs. Mount Hood lined up lust Hunday for the Hint gan e of the sea son, at Mount Hood. Odell went into battle with a pick-up nine, not having yet organized, while Mount Hood was ready. It proved a hot game the score standing 5 to 1 in favor of Mount Hood. They piny at Odell in two weeks, at winch time the Odell boys say they will fun them out. Wo are requested to my that the dance ball next Friday evening will bo appropriately decorated, the color scheme being "Lewis and Clark." The orchestra hopes to make this a event long to bo remembered. Call at the Little White Store iii spect and burchase one of those oil cans that never overfills. It is a mon ey savor. Only a few in stock. Hubert Morton and Archie Ander son were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hun corn at dinner last Sunday. Work is crowding the ranchers just now. A scarcity of teams prevails, consequently hoiiio of the ground will lie very dry before it is plowed. Hay your berry crates and fruit boxes at the Hood Kiver bo f.-ietory. They til'c homemade ami the fruit sells at, top prices when parked in them. Hood Kiver fruit deserves good boxes, and when yon buy from the Hood Kiver box foctiiry you are sure of a supply when you want them. Our prices are rijdit. Havidson Fruit Co.

Dumbs is livaing about one acre planted in potatoes. What do you think of that? We'l, ye-; of course spuds pav very well.

Spight delivered an interesting Faster sermon to an attentive eonirre tration. The teachers of the Iiaptist Sundav school presented the nu iiibers of their class with many beautiful Fast er eggs, which had the tendency, as the Faster eggs always have, to gladden the hearts of the children.
