9 HOOD BiVER GLACIER, THUKriDAY, MAY 11, 1005 ODELL MAN ON TRIP TO FALLS By Roswell Shelley. Odell, East Hood River Valley, May 9. It was our pleasure to spend last Sunday at the Falls, wife and 1 being guests of W. Ross Winans and wife. Mr. Winans entertained us hospita bly, taking pains to show us over the grounds, about the home and took us to his "Happy Hunting Grounds" park, which lies three-quarters of a mile up the river from the bridge. and on the west bank of the West Fork of Hood river. Nature has been lavish there and the name defining the Indian meaning of heaven is an expressive and appre ciative one. Once there you find a beautiful natural park covering five acres lying level and reaching from a blulf almost propendicnlar rising 50 font or more and oval shaped, down to the water's edge, fringed with a pebbly beach. The river here, by moans of a shrap bend, meets the bluff a short distance below, forming a sort of an amphitheater. There one is seemingly shut off from the world, for across the river Is an overhanging perpendicular bluff, rockrlbbed and forbidding. This beautiful and secluded spot is entirely unknown to the visitor at the Falls, there being only a trail landing to It. Here Is the spot where Mr. Winans proposes to celebrate the 4th of July, and be assures us that he will grade a wagon road from the bridge to the park before the 4th and dedicate the place to the publio in the future, on the condition that no timber be cut and everything about the grounds be preserved In Us natur al state. To grade this road and to beautify the grounds will require quite an out lay of money, but we are assured it will be done; surely the publio will appreciate It. Mr. Winans Is the owner of HKX) acres of land In a body there, and when his present plans are carried oat he will be in a position to make a bar rel of money and the publio will be assured of both pleasure and receroa tion as a reward tor a trip there. Destroy the insects or they will destory your fruit, flowers and foliage. Why not have your rose bushes, house plants, small fruit, etc., free from all aphis, codlin moth, fungus growth and other pests? If this is done they will look bright and clean and healthy, so they will be a source of pleasure and profit to you. Walt's Formaldehyde Tree Soap answers all the purposes for which you are seeking. It des troys aphis, codlin moth, fungus growth, mildew, etc. It is a compound scientifically prepared from the most powerful germicides and insecticides known to the horticultural world. It comes in one-pound bars neatly wrapped, with full directions for use. Any desired amount of spray can be made at one time easily and quickly. It costs but 12 ."-cents per bar. Use it once and you will use no other. ...WE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE AGFNTS... REIR (& CASS, Smith Block. Reliable Druggists. I i Who has had over forty years experience in Iowa is opening JEWELRY STORE HOOD One of the many features of his plans is a lake in easy reach of his house, which can be easily and cheaply made by throwing up a short levee. When done be proposes to stock it with fish and have boats for pleasure seekers, sand the beaches and have a famous bathing place. This lake will be fed from crystal springs from the east, so that in winter a flue quality of ice can be cut from the lake and stored for summer use. In addition to this it will prove an excellent blace for the fellow who is safe on skates. Another feature is that a dam across the river in order to get power for manufacturing purposes. When all these of Mr. Winans' contemplated elans are worked out. truly the Falls and the "Happy Hunting Grounds" park will become a popular and pleas ant resort. And when this magnifi cent water powre is harnessed by elec tricity, thousands of spindles will be put in motion. Then Winans will no longer be called the dreamer that he Is accused of being today. For then his fondest dreams will lie real- j tized while some of the rest of the fol lows will still be asleep and perbap: nothing short of Uapriels' horn will wake them. When the larger Hood Kiver valley is developed to one-half its capacity it will astonish the oldest inhabitant. Mr. Wiunns evidently built better than be knew when he got what he calls the key to the valley. At the end of 15 years residence at this ro mantic spot, Mr. Winans is yet a young man, and as full of hope and vigor as most meu '20 years younger. He is devoted to nature's wilds and hence is content. His large family of children are lovers of the old home and he is beautifying and making it an attractive place for them. His summer hotel will soon be com pleted which will have 21 comfortable rooms and plenty of ground outside to fiitch tents upon and as we are lonn ng towards outdoor life perhaps tents will be in demand, lie says he will feed all who come, and when once ad vertised, surely they will come, and when this quiet, restful place is found, they who are worn in body or nerve, will come again. Another practical matter I desire to speak of. There are hundreds of tons of rock already crushed by a process of nature lying on the hillside A Question of Life or LABAwAY, IN- RIVER within easy reach of the new railroad that cun be placed upon the cars at a nominal figure that will cheaply solve the problem of good roads in Hood River valley. Tint county court, we think, would do well to look this mat ter up before taking steps toward pur chasing rock crushers. Not much time should he lost if we celedrate the Fourth at the Falls in a becoming manner. lietter start the ball rolling by appointing committees. There should lie :tUX) to 4000 there on that day and everybody have a good time. " There will lie an ice cream social on the laun at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. l. Hoyod on next Friday evening. The proceeds from the sale of refresh ments will go for the benefit of the church. The public are cordially iu itod. Mr. I'inkorton of Athena, who last year bought 40 acres of land from L.' U. Boyed, recently moved his fami ly there and they are tenting near Mr. Hoyed's. Mr. I'inkerton will re turn to Athena to harvest bis crop, but dually improve this Jund and make his hon.o I. ere, for he likes Hood River valley. Railroad work is progressing. Bights of way are being necured on a satisfactory basis. The surveying par ty is now boardi ig at W. R. Winans and working south from there. Last Sunday we met Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ciribblo of Mount Hood. They were out for a ride looking over the valley and seemed to be enjoying life. The country merchant has the best of the town merchant when It comes to outdoor life. Mr dribble is one of the successful ones and we give him the glad hand. Mount Hood and Odell bese pall clubs lined up last Sunday at Odell for a game, but owing to the rain storm the game was not finished. Mount Hood quit in the lead. What s the matter with Odell? The floodgates of heaven were opened lust Sunday and water was turned on without money and without price, and notwithstanding it closed the b'tll game and caused people ulong the road to seek shelter, it brought its reward to all growing crops. Mrs. Rov Solemn Is a recent arrlv al from Illinois, joining her husband Death "1 j here on their homestead near Dukes valley. This is Mrs. Slocum's first , trip here and she is already in love fwith the untamed West. On this prop- ' osition here s our Ssif. I James English lost a valuablo ani- ! mnl last week by reasou of a broken leg. Jim has our sympathy, for it i was the finest bunch glass uorse in i this section, it wasn't barbed wire this time, but the result of a kick j from another borse. i Miss Jones of Barrett, an old friend j of Mrs. Shelley's, with some friends I from North Dakota, were callers at I the Little White store last Thursday. 1 Her friends were delighted with the valley and Mii-s J' lies was sur prised at the development of Odell. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Morse were call ers at Odell laht week. They wera ac companied by Eastern friends who wore visiting them. A rather serious runaway occurred last Sunday on the Falls roud ut the Wow -rs place. Mr. Smith und family who resido on the Butler place acioss t o river with some friends were in the hack. The team ran into a tree throning the ladies out. How badly injured they were we did not learn. Last Friday the Odell district closed a successful school year, not withstanding sickness in the school retarded the progress of the pupils to some extent. Friday afteruoou the children were givi a picnic which they heartily enjoyed. V. V. Wlljls.tio priujipnl of the school, has moved to Mount Hood, having leased the Dumas place for the season. Several substantial improvements are in contemplation by the board of directors, which will be considered at a special meeting to lie held sometime prior to the annual meeting in June.
