HOCD RIVER GLACIER, THUKeJDAY, MAY 4, 1005 HOOD RIVER WAS "IFATPORLLAND Bv Roswell Shelley. dell, Kast Hood River Valley, May 3. So goon after returning from the metropolis, and after spending three days there amid the dizzy whirl of the city, we find it a little difficult to get down to commonplace matteri at Odell. Yi't let me say that considering the fact that Udell is situated in Hood Iiiver vu I ley w e are content that we have a hitching post here. THAT PORTLAND TRIP was up to the limit of our expectations, for some time we had looked forward with anticipation of a riitht pleasant time, but never pictured it hulf what it proved. While it would afford me great pleas ure to go into detail concerning the many happy incidents of the trip f now remember that the Glacier man was there and as his word painting exceeds mine several times, I beg to yield the onill to him. However, Defore passing from this theme, which is such a pleas ant recollection, permit me to say that on Thursday, on our trip to the Lewis and Clark grounds, Hood River was the butt of many a jolly lent, every one of which advertised us. While in the forestry building the pioneers of Hood River, were being disciiHsed and the w riter jHjinted out 8. F. iilythe as one of the sturdy pioneers of Hood River valley. Mr. Oeasling corroborated this statement, adding that when Mr. Iilythe came to Hood River there were only two people here, to-wit: Mr. Smith and Mount Hood. In striking contrast with this state ment, we find thai at the session of the Oregon Development league and all along the line Hood River was "It," "The real thing," etc., and It is safe to sar that Hood River's demonstration In the parade and on the platform will not soon lie forgotten. Much credit is due the Hood River Commercial club for the splendid showing made, which will no doubt produce handsome results in the future. We met many old valley friends there, and secured one of the Blue Ribbon county badges. We shall keep it as a souvenir. W had a residence of 37 years in Polk county and it was a pleas ure to greet many old friends from there and elHewhere. We knew the teven Cooper boys and met five of them on this trip. About the only compromise we could make with the Polk county boys was that they would buy Hood Kiver berries and apples if we would agree to drink beer from Polk county hops. WATER MEETING AT PINE GROVE We understand that nothing definite was decided upon at the meeting last Friday night at Pine Grove. While on the water question we beg to quote J. II. Shoemaker. In speaking of their approaching election to be held May 6, at Barrett school house, he expressed confidence that the bonds will be voted, raying: "We are np against the last proposi tion in sight, having threshed out three or four schemes. We are in the last ditch, or will be In a short time with of the season. Quite a number of town peoble were in attendance. Forty num bers were sold and the orchestra were satisfied w ith the result. Odell ; rapidly taking front rank . .i i i I ii.. . a among me Hiinuros oi toe vmiey, cji I'Kon, III., near Chicago, and in Denver, Colo. She comes directly from Denver to Hood River. Mrs. Talmage's child hood days were spent in this vallev and after such a lapse of eventful years, to return to loved ones and to the familiar which we are justly proud. The Gla-! old haunts of nature is a joy unspeaka- cier man did himself proud last week, ble. the dear old song of "Home, not havinir the slitrhtest intimation from ! set Home" is full of meaning to her. . i " i i. - i i. ii,.. ..... f,:,.. ...;n i, ..i... i iici iiimijai luif.io win W3 K mil him concerning his write-up here and it- being Saturday morning before we read the Glacier, while reading about his visit to Odell from a personal stand point a feeling came over us that we were glad we were absent from home when the paper was issued. But we will forgive you, Ned, if you promise to cut out personalities next trip. The following persons from Odell were delegates to the Oregon Development league in Portland hint week: J. M. Mc I Donald and wife, ('. L. Rogers and Ros j well Hhelley ami wife. Orders for cedar posts will be filled by the Little White Stere on short notice. people arranged and w ill keep on hand a fine The Little While Store have plows and scrapers Headed toward ijne 0f H0da wttt,.r made from the Shasta Green Point and Sandy Flat, and ex-! mineral water and known as the Shasta pect to have the water running through Mineral Water Soda Pop. This soda me uiiciie in tune lor uie inm crop. We give it as our opinion that to vote to bond the district in question will prove an economical and practical solu tion of the water question. There tuems to bo a growing sentiment in fa vor of public ownership of public utili ties, and in this case, where it seems necessary that the water should become a lien on the land, it surely seems that land and water should meet in the same, ownership, so that the water should be a part of the land instead of the land becoming a part of the water. The Odell Bros., R. I). Shelley, Dane Kemp and Fred Crockett left last Satur day for trip beyond the Falls up Hood River and perchance to Lost lake. Big game and little fish are to be the tro phies of this, the first outing trip from Udell for 1105. When Roosevelt gets Ross Winana' Glacier and reads the re sult of this memorable trip, he will, no doubt journey Westward, his Mecca lie in Hood River, and make up his rough rider crowd from the ranks of the Odell sports, (iet ready boys. The dancing party given at Odell last Friday evening proved the social event pop lar excels uiiytlnng else, in the market on account oi ils mineral prop erties, besides is put np in the largest bottles of any concern in the state. Call and try it. II. M. Poole and wife are now at home on the old Kemp place. Mr. Poole recentlv leased aliout 30 acres of this place, including the houne and barn. Tliev are now at work trimming up rose bushes and otherwise beauti fying what was once a beautiful place and always a nice home site. The place will soon be fixed up and will again be an attractive home. The railroad graders are now at work on the Odell place and the work is be ing rushed. Rev. W. A. Elkins of the Valley Christian church conducted services at the Union church here both morning and evening laHt Sunday. Mrs. Guy Talinage, who ib a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Troy Shelley, re turned last Saturday to Hood Rives aft er an absence of two and a half years Since leaving HoodKivcrHheand her hus band have traveled extensively having I i veil in Salt Lake, Houston, Texas ; Or- YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS Tho dispensing of Doctor's Prescriptions wo regard as our most important duty because we fully realize how much depends on the care, accuracy and skill of the phar macist in preparing your medicines.

She avers she has come to stay in Oregon. Con fidentially she tells me she has been talking Oregon all along the line, until she has been accused of being on a sal ary in behalf of some real estate con cern. Correction. Mr. Shelley, the Glacier's correspond ent at Odell, states that he inadvertent ly omitter to give credit to Miss Blanch Yvilson last week, concerning her work in training the Sunday school children for the Easter exercises in the Odell church. Mr. Shelley endeavors to faithfully cover the news items from his neigh hor liood, and wishes the co-op jration of the Glacier renders in furnishing him accounts of such huppenings, in order that he may get bis information at firsthand. The Glacier would appreci ate it if the Odell people would assist the correspondent in such matters. WHITE SALMON. Captain H. C. Cook, who has been ill for the past two weeks, is recovering. The captain was threatened with an at tack of pneumonia. Assade Hamuel of Hood River traded his 10-acre tract near White Salmon for a 40-acre tract belonging to G.W. Smith of Pine Flat.

Woodworth with a force of vol unteer workers is laving In a bed of rock from the Barrett ranch on down the road toward the Rockford store. This is just what should be done, es cecially where there are rocks. This way of everlastingly railing men out to work on the roads, and then to have no roads is decidedly unsatisfactory. We shall have roads like those the Romans made if the work here is done well. I presume there will be some knocking to be done. Well, knock on ; we shall have good roads, anyway. By the way, why not have a good roads meet in the Barrett district? We should organize a local association and arouse ' an interest in good roads throughout the valley.
