HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THUhSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1805 ODELL j IT IS NOT A BACK NUMBER liy Roswell Shelley. Odell, Kat Hood Kiver Valley, Deo. l!t. W'lio said Odell was a back Dura Iter? Three rears ago when 1 nnder took the work of reporting the doing! here there were people here who were peBslrnlrtlo to the extent thut thoy mid a grocery store would not last. There were Inroads mndo on the houndary of the acbool district in or der that the parties get into a more eiiterpriHing neighborhood, There were follows saying land is too high for an investment. Yet, nevertheless, vuliieit have doubled and tripled in some in stances and today more people are looking this way than ever before and more land is changing bands than at any time since our roiddonce here. And still the end is not yet. The ad vent of tne railroad will equalize val ues. Then it will happen that the east Hood Kiver valley apple land will be sought at double the prices now being asked. Mr. Holland, for merly of Idaho is here looking the situation over carefully, with the view of Investing. He spent hint Saturday at Odell and will return sgain before selecting a bitching pout. This is his ijeoond visit here and he Is already convinced that Hood Kiver valle has a bright future. The news of tho death of Sonator .Mitchell was unexpected and without further oomrneiit than to say that as the curtain of death has been drawn closing the lust act of his eventful life, may we not indulge tho hope that the mantle of charity be thrown about him. Let both frioud and roe remem ber only his many acts of ki 'duext towards his friends and constituents and the lurge harvest of his work con ferred npon the state of Otexon dur ing Ms 21 years service in the United States Senate. f 'The literary program last FrHay evening was truly a treat to the large crowd that gathered. The two lower rooms were thrown together and ev ery seat whs occupied and a large crowd standing. There were several Pine Orove people present, among them woie Chris Pethman aud family who seemed to enjoy the exercises. There Is one feature of the program that we think should be cut out and that it the question box. At this meeting there were a lot of sensoloss foolish and meaningless questions that no one is or should be prepared to answer, Then there were questions of a personal character addressed to roxpeotahle, intelligent young ladles present whlnh showed a luck of self respect on the part of the party ask ing the question, Such tilings are humiliating and disgutitiug and bring no good to the society aud should not bo tolerated. If this question box Is to be continued there should lie a committee who should pass upon the merits of the questions and act as a fanning mill blowing all the chalf over. Tho critic evidently ovorlook ed that part of the program. If he had performed his duty I would have beeu saved the disagreeable task of a self appointed critic. Last Friday busliiecB called us to the Mount Hood country in company with C. K. Bone. Ou the way wo noted Improvement! and changes since onr last trip there. The sloppy condition of the roads and the grey, bleak hills do not furnish inspiration that Is contagious like the summer days and the shady drives when off for Cloud Cap Inn or a shady moun tain retreat, lint tho Mount Hood country always has attractions for the writer and for all such as under stand aud appreciate the luxury of lile in the open. The extension of the ruilroad to that section means much to the settlers there and to those H'eking cheaper homes than can Le secured iu the lower valley. Itailroad connection there will prove au ereuer and will no doubt increase the p pit lation of the Upper Valley and form a nucleus for a very respectable vil lage In the near future. We extend a glad hand to these people. We were generously served with lunch at the home of Mr. and Mm. Luitue. 'J lu te open banded ranchers dispense bo pi tality that has the genuine ring lliat proves it is not counterfeit. The recent freezing and thawing weather does net have a very grod eifect on the roads. The clay hills are working np as they always do and the oontrast between the graveled portion of the Davidson hill is very riotlcoa bio. proving the fact that gravel will make roads and although requiring a lot of work yet it pays. We join with the agitation for a rock crusher. Mr. London of Loudou Jc Powers, of Portland, who owns the Mason much in the Upper Mount Hood coun try, iu company with Mr. Kaxer of Portland, also called ht the Little White Htore Saturday afternoon, on their way io town from their ranch. Mr. London is a drummer end a good salesman, but he now has one piece of goods he does not oiler for sale, to-wit. the "apple ranch. Ills friend Mr. Kaser has bis eye fixed ;n this country with a view of invettlug. Mr. London, like many other non-residents, li proving a good advertisor, and that is one reason Hood Kiver valley is so well known. Every one who knows It talks it. Wife and I spent a pleasant hour last Sunday in the home of Prank Neff and wife. Their borne is one mile west of Odell ou the foothills overlooking the valley eastwurd. which Is dotted with green Holds and apple orchard, with the village of Odell to round up the scene. Prank gave us a onneert with bis graphophnue and also delighted us with views of Hood Kiver and mountain scenes which he had taken himself, with charming pictures from within and without and with the uonerous anri genuino hospi tality extended onotheie in that mod ern country home. We congratulate all such as are able to live independ ently in such a country pluco. The Christian endeavor society an nounce an entertainment for next Friday evening, the Kith Inst., which they say is to eclipse all programs for tiie winter's engagement. We under stand a drama is to be put on wherein hero and heroine will distinguish themselves, aud we lint-glue we read between the lines and see the ardent lover, the bloodthirsty vilJiau.

Paul Neil has gone to Hood River to deliver groceries for Mr. Holmau. Attorney N. R. ISrocka of U olden dale und A. A. Jayue, an attorney ot Hood River, were in town Monday on buisuoss. They were on either side of a land contest case which waB be ing heard before Commissioner Mo nues. In conversation with Mr. Field, one of oui hustling real estate men, we ilnd that real estate transactions dur ing the past two weeks amount to over J10,(XH), and still thoy come. We un derstand that Portland parties are now negotiating with Mr. R. Lauter baoti for the balance of bis farm ad joining the town on the west, and if tho deal goes through the land will be platted and placed on tho market. 'The chlgger may ohig with all bis might, and the mocking bird mock aud sing, but tho White Sulmou crop it takes the cake, and the apples, you bet, is king; the crickets may crick aud .he froglets frog, m:d tho farmer may siug his strain, for in White Sal mon potatoes are ou the top a rosult ot the recent rain; the chiuch bug may chinch and the hot winds make you tire, but if any one says there are such things here, just call him a hor rible liar. Oklahoma may boom and Texas may howl, and Missouri may shoot off her chop, but White Sal mon's the place to get a good borne aud r;ait-e a tremendous crop.

Her pluco was very ably illlotl, however, by her tister. Mrs. Ileutieison, who was visiting her from Portland. The old gentleman was in the lest of spiiits aud illustrated how the heath en em braced Christianity to the great, delight of the gentlemen present. A nice collation was served. CASCADE LOCKS.

There was an addition of seven names to the enrollment of the school last week. If President Roosevelt would come to Hood River and spend a few days visiting the schools both in tbe city and country, I do not think that he would lose any more sleep on ac count of worriug over the subject of "race suicide.
