ODELL MAN AT THE
GREAT EXPOSITION
By RoHwell Shelley.
Exposition Urouuds, Portland, Or.,
July 18. The red-roofed city, with
1U white pillared building and its
Kmy boulevards bordered with green
Ltwna and studded with statuary and
an endless variety of fragrant and
beautiful flowers defying the most
gorgeous tints of the rainbow, was
the picture that met our gaze last Sat
urday morning upon passing through
the gates into the Lewis and Clurk
grounds. Wending our way north
westerly we see another and more
inspiring picture wherein nature fig
ures. Looking northward from the brow
of the hill at the entrance of the Trail
you get a view of mountain, lake and
river that is truly charming and up
lifting. Here we see the statuary rep
resenting one of the Lewis and Clark
expeditious, halted and lying at his
horse's feet, straning bis eyes still to
tbo Went in search of the promised
land "where rolls the Oregon. " Stand
ing silently and aud reverently there
aimd the din of the speiler on the
Trail, watching the restless, surging
crowd In their eager desire to part
with their money, and listening to the
bourse, vulgar cry of the spellers
along the Trail, pleading for a crowd
inside, our mind goes backward along
the stretch of a century, more than
half of which has been spent in Ore
gon, and we reverently bow our heads
in honor of the brave and daring ex
plorer and the pioneer who came close
upon the blazed trail behind him.
Here we are in this modern, civi
lized 20th century, with all the advan
tages of the older and perhaps metro
politan oities of the East and yet a
wild aad woolly West. Are we con
scious of our preseut frailities and do
we appreciate the splendid advantages
that are ever present with us? The
fellowship of the mountains, the musio
of the water falls, In touch with na
ture whose voice is beard in the rip
ullua of the water, the fragrauoe of
the flowers that comes softly to us in
the gentle breeze, which etiis the lake
beneath our feet.
The first attraction we set is the
famous Homer Davenport miniature
farm, with the finest bred horses In
America, the larget private collec
tion of pheasants known, and an end
less variety of other priceless fowls
that have been collected at the ex
pense of years and a large outlay of
money. Here we find Homer Daven
port, a native of Oregon, born and
raised in Hilverton, Marion couuty,
a man large in "tatiiro, large In bruin
and broad and liberal to the limit, at
borne In a log cabin, which is a fac
simile of the house in which be was
born, happy, and why? Because he
has attained unmeaHiired success along
congenial lines. His purse Is well
tilled, aud his faimly, as also are his
pet dogs, his fowls and bis borses, are
with him, and bis office walls are cov
ered with bis cartoons which have
brought to him both fame and wealth.
These are the things be loves, and
why should be not be content?
All along the Trail (here are feuturei
that appeal to the morbid curiosity,
and all day long and up to 11 o'clock
at night, amid the din andf'onfusiou
and the zealous cry of the speiler do
crowds pass inside and are afterward
sory they parted with their money.
The fair proper has already passed the
experimental stage, and the manage
ment is at this early date assured of a
financial success. While the conces
sionaires Inside the grounds aud the
numerous stands outside the gateway
are going broke. ;mi - lZZ
We are quite at home in the Oregon
building and the agricultural and hor
ticultural buildings, where most of
the counties have good exhibits and
also many of the states are represent
ed. The Wasco county exhibit, in
charge of Mr. Castner, of Hood Kiver,
and Mr. Schmidt of The Dulles, is
complete and well kept. These repre
sentatives are proving good entertain
ers and Instructors concerning our
vast and valuable resources, and cuon
advertising in behalf of our couuty
will surely prove fur reaching in its
effects upon our future welfare. Polk
oounty, a county which is very near
my heart on account of its being my
childhood home, and where 1 spout
the best years of manhood, is in line
with a fine exhibit which is in charge
of Mrs. Wolf, whose intelligence end
energy have twice made it the blue
ribbon county of the state at the Ore
gon state fairs held at Salem.
It is impossible to enter into details
concerning what can be seen in one
day. It would require weeks to do
the fair thoroughly and give a de
tailed account of the same, hut I must
not forget to say tbut the stute build
ings are very creditable. Among them
we note our own dear stute of Oregon.
California, Washington, Idaho, Utah,
New York, Missouri and Massac Im
setts urn represented by state build
ings. California and Washington are
probubly taking the lead, partly on
acoount of their location on the
grounds, and proximity to our stute
geographically.
Another thing I want to say is that
Coos county stands alone as having a
building of ber own. It stands near
the Oregon building and is a neat
piece of architecture aud more expen
sive than most buildings according to
its size, from the luct tbut it is fin
ished outside with dressed lumber and
painted pure white. The interior fin
ish is of native bard wood, which is
capable of taking on a very high grade
polish. Their exhibit is worthy of
note also.

day. The poet of the Sierras at 3 .30
o'clock delivered an eloquent address,
which proved an eulogy on Oregon
aud the pioneers of early days. It
was not only eloquent, but poetic as
well and all the more interesting to
me on account of a personal acquaint
ance with him, dating back to 1807,
when the now famous poet was the
oounty judge of Grant county. 1
hunted prairie chickens with him, and
we Untied and swum in the John Day
river. These were precious days for
the writer, it being my first trip from
home, which was then on a farm in
Polk county.
The old poet was at bis best and
thrilled bis audience, especially so
when he told of his first day's w.irk
in the harvest Holds of Lane county,
working all day long, barefooted in the
stubble fluid, with his legs bloody to
the knees, Hut when tbe day's worn
was over he took home with him a sil

The Charm of Beauty
Is in the hair. It is almost impossible for a lady to be
really attractive and pronounced beautiful if she is not
endowed with an abundance of luxuriant hnir.
There is a great deal in the care of the hair. The
utmost precaution should be exercised in the selection of
combs and brushes.
We have just placed on display the finest assort
ment of Brushes ever shown in Hood River.
They are the kind that wilfnot destroy the hair or encour
age scalp disease.

his voice was husky aud broken.
Many old eyes were dimmed with tears
at the mention of that dear, precious

In order that we may better underlain! the stupendous amount of lalxir pert.irnied lv these tinv works, let us
make a .comparison with a locomotive having six-foot driving wheels. U't it be run until its wheels shall have
given the same uumber of revolutions that a watch balance gives in one vear, and it will have covered a distance
equal to twenty-eight complete circuits ol the earth. All this a watch does without other attention than winding
once every twenty-four hours.
Now, suppose both machines started in good order. The locomotive is oiled every fifty minutes, is carefully
wiped and cleaned before being oiled. So that while doing the work of a watch for one year', it has been cleaned

Special Correspondence.
Mount Hood, Or., July 18.-L. C.
Sherwood, the. Huzelwood representa
tive, was here the lirst of this week
can vanning the country to see how
many would go into the biihlnoss. He
is well pleased with the outlook as
far as he has been at this tiuio, hav
ing sold five separators in about three
hours, and has promise of others with
in the next few weeks. He states that
he will put in a route within the next
two weeks. That's business. Mr.
Fredenburg, it is understood, will
transport the cream to Hood River.
K. Learni re went to Hood Kiver Sat
urday to attend the creamery meet

to Walla Walla last woek to harvest.
They will woik for Ziba Dimmick.
M. Dumas will build a new barn
and put in about 20 cows this full.
Mr. Dumas is an old dairyman, and
is satisfied that we have struck it
right this time by going into dairy
ing. The Mount Hood base ball team has
disbanded for a summer vacation.
They have made a wonderful record
this season, winning every game they
played. The.Odell boys met them six
times on the' diamond and were as
often defeated. The Mount Hood
base ball team is like everything else
here can't be beat.
Another barn raising this week.
This time it is Louey llurkbard. Mr.
llurkhard Is one of the oldest settlers,
aud his place is a credit to any com
munity. We are pleased to note sub
stantial improvements like this.
Miss Daisy Thomas left for a
month's vacation, visiting friends and
relatives at Newberg and other points.
Mrs. Dr. Wbelty of Portland and

BARRETT.
The Barrett boys were pitted against
the illue Stars in a game of base ball
on Saturday last. 1 he Stars took the
honors, being 8 to 7. Caruea for Dar-
rett pitched well, Drown caught Hue
and Thompson made several good
Plays, liarrett showed lack of prao
tice. Saturday, July 22, the boys will
play another game on the liurrett
grounds, near U. fc.. Marknam s, on
noekfoid avenue,
C. Long put up aud baled about
thirty tons or very tine nay. Must say
it was put up in Hue shape. Fred
Miller did the baling, aud bis work
speaks for itself.
Leo Morse was a busy man last
week. The baling crew were putting
up a largo quantity of good timothy
hay. The boys were all busy as bees.
Mr. Lulilmv Informs the writer that
he will make about tllOO off his place
this year. That speaks well for such
a small ranch. Mr. Lab!ey and the
whole family are all good workers.
II. P. Martin has taken an overland
trip with his team up into Crook
couuty. He expects to bring back a
good heavy team of work horses. Yes,
it is true that H. P. does know a good
horse when he sees it.
J The Stranaban brothers, with Abby
ibbous and Thomas Bishop bave tak
i en a trip up the river on a fishing ex
cursion. 1 wonder if the boys will
I have fish for sale when they return
home? ,
Mrs. 11. F. Edelmau presented a nice
, bouquet of flowers to Mrs. K. Bray-
ford of the Rockford one day last

chicken feed you ever saw. Call aud
look it over.
Mrs. Lotia Manu of The Dalles is
visiting with her mother, Mrs. Wood
man, at the white house on Rockford
aud Clark street.
We would remind our readers of the
' I . i . . .. U - .. .k L ...
Items, if you should have any news
for the Barrett district, would sug
gest that you leave them at Rockford
every Monday morning. Then your
news will appear in its proper place.
K Friby has retruued home from
Pendleton. Mr. Friby got kicked by
a vicious horse and will be laid up
tome time.
Von may wonder w hy so many teams
may be seen hauling (eople aud their
goods through our streets. Perhaps
it is bocnnse the prophet who has giv
en out that the (iod of Creation gave
him a vision that our beautiful valley
would be deluged with water, coming
out of Mount Hood. By the way, J.
II. Shoemaker rode to town with the
writer on Monday, July 17, and he
told me he was leaving here and seek
ing higher quarters, which he would
find up at Mosier. We cannot say
bow soon the family will follow.
UPPER MOUNT HOOD
ASK FOR P0ST0FF1CE
J
Petitions have been sent to the pos
tal department at Washington asking
for the establishment of a postotlice
in the Upper Mount Hood valloy, to
be known as Glacier. Thirty-five

ment Tuesday by W. L. Huckabay.
Mrs. Huckabay will likely be the first
postmistress if the otlice is establish
ed. The farmers of Mount Hood have
been assured of a creamery route, and
expect to be sending their cream to
Portland within two weeks. With the
cows already in the neighborhood
and those which the farmers have
argeed to secure at once, the Hazel
wood Creamery Co. will be securing
the cream from 175 cows. Mr. Fred
enburg ill bring the cream to the

aud find out if the company could be
Induced to extend their road to Mount
Hood. He conferred Tuesday with
the company oltlcials in this city,
and was assured that they would
make the trip to Mount Hood and see
just what inducements the community
offers for an extension of the road.
Mount Hood people are rustlers.
Thoy have a cream route in advance
of the lower valley ; expect to bave an
extension of the railway and tele
phone systems, and intend to make

of last week. After visiting a few
days with the families of W. O. and
P. II. Martin, she left on Saturday
for Walla Wallla and Prescott, Wash.
After visiting for a while with rela
tives at those points, she expects ou
her way home to visit the various
points of interest in Utah and Colora
do. To say tnat she enjoyed her trip
would be putting it very mildly. Our
northwestern scenery comes as a rev
elation to her, and she is fully cap
able of appreciating its grandeur.
The strawberry growers are cutting
off the tops of their vines and culti
vating them in jrder to secure a good

WHITE SALMON.
Mrs. Theodore Shepler, daughter of
T. Wyers, sr., is home from Wilbur
looking after the alfairs ou her home
stead. The ring of the hammer can be
heard on all sides in White Salmon.
Five lfew buildings are now under
the course of construction. It is a
question of seeming help. Lnborers
are scarce, and with additional talk
of building w ill mean the importing
of a large niunlier or skilled mecnan
ics.
Mrs. C. O. Jennings has moved in
to her new building on Jewett ave
nue. When it comes to doing things
quick it takes Kosegraut and Ever
hart, the contractors, to do it. It
took just three days to construct the
tiuildmg,an,l Mrs. Jennings to occupy
it.
T. J. Bryan of Hood River. A. H.
Jewett and J. C. Melnnes will com
mence next week ou a canning fac
tory. It will be located ou tbe Jewett
tract near the bridge across from tbe
home site. The aim will be to start
in ou a moderate scale aud as fast as
the business will justify enlarao.
Stock may he sold later on and the
proposition carried on on a gigantic
scale.
Dr. J. W. (iearhurt returned home
from Portland, where he had been
atteudlti! the fair, and also the meet
ing of the physicians.
Mrs. Lewis, wife of Rev. Mr. Lewis,
