9 ' HOCD ' BIVEK GLACIER, THURSDAY,1 DECEMBER 21, 1005 ODELL AN ENTERTAINMENT THAT WAS DELIGHTFUL liy Roswcll Shelley. Odell, Wast Hood River Valley, Deo. v0.fTbe dnma ronndcd up an enter talnmont lust Friday eveuing that was ,ilrllghtlul and instructive, proving lieyoiid question that Odell possesses tiileot of high order. The entertain, went was prefaced with vocal and in strumental soIob and readings that brought tbe house down. Kuch num ,, ber on tbe program was worthy of apodal mention. After the program wan rendered refreshment" were serv ed, including colfee and lemonade. There wan alno a candy booth where home made candies were sold that wore delicious. Then there was tbe gypsie tent that proved ail attraction, being well patronized. Jhind closed tent doors the past was recounted and the veil of the f ture lifted, and while we did not Interview tbe fortune teller yet b we watched the crowd emerging with a 2x4 amilo on their countenance we take It for granted they were sutis lied with what the future holds for them. The invincible U. L. Roger seemed especially happy and we ex pect to hear of him buying another apple ranch booii. About ) people from Pine drove were over and those we talked with congratulated Odell upon its series of pleasant and profit--utile winter entertainments. We sbook band 4 with J. H. Jackson and wife i and Miss Uloasnn and others of tbe Pine drove people. Tbe '"net proceeds of tbe evening was 915 which amount will go towards purchasing song books and other sup plies for the Christian endeavor work. We trust that this is the beginning of many entertainments, that we, with , aU other Odellites will have other op portunities to listen to the talent from behind tbe footlights. Quite a party - ; from Barrett came over. We almost forgot to guy that among tlie llarrett popio we notioed Marsh . lseubcrg. Come again. After several months of investigation by one of Portland's ablest attorneys, ' we have Anally succeeded in securing tbe Insurance due Mrs. Crockett, by a joint policy of her and her late hus band. The insurance certificate was igsued by the Order of Lions of which Mr. Crockett was a member. About tbe time of his death, tills order merged iuto the order of Washington and it was due to the order of Wash ington that all the troublo came about. It is an outiage that insur ance companies should take advantage of technicalities in an effort to evade the payment of an houest claim. Tbe result was, that Mrs. Crockett was compelled to employ nn attorney to compel this company to do just what they agreed to do, Huch disreputable work as this wears the stamp of dis approval by all good citizens and really should lie put out of business by a state law. Last Sunday there was a quiet wed ding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Win J'ihrck. The contracting parties being their son, W. (3. Ehrck and Miss Mae Hull, teacher ol we primary grade in tbe Odell school. Rev. Troy Shelley otUduted. Only a few friends wore present. The young couple left on tbe evening train for Kanshs. where they will pend a few we ks with tbe brides mother. May tb irfo i lfst ex pectations concerning wedded bliss be realized. Having abundant faith in Hood River valley and feeling a special in terest in tbe future of Odell, for the good of the community, I desire lo say that I think the time iai arrived for the orasrulzation of a develorment league. With tbe advent of the rail road and with tbe pro ect of many, investors coming our way in searcli of apple hinds. Huch an organized body of men at Odell would have op portunity to do good w ik along the line of advertising and developing". In unity there Is strength. They are oragnizing almo t everywhere. Mount Hood people are lined up. There is nothing that would tend to unify and mould se timeut quicker than such an organization. When It f ones to ques tions touching tbe welfaie of the whole community, Odell is not I ige enough to draw factional lines. I let tor get in and whoop ber up toget .er. Several times we hate called tbe at tention of the Glacier readers to our want list. Right now there are many things badly needed. ' We neei first some one with a few dollars and some grit to put up a boa-ding house and feed stable. Then a barber's pole would be in order. The men of the community would meet with encour agement and subhtuntial aid if they would undertake the project of start ing a young men's club with a gym nasium and a reading room attach ment. Once get a few of tbe neces sities that go with village life and strangers would come our war. Time and time ugam have we phonei for room for tbe stranger within, and oftener than any other way to no avail. County folk are not prepared to keep travelers and yet when it comes to acting the part of the good Samaritan Odell is in tbe front rank. Time brings its reward and these things will oome to Odoll just as sure as apples grow and sell for t'i per box. Hut tbe tbljg to do is to oome now and get in on tbe ground floor for some one is going into history as having made Odell famous. Last Wednesday evening a lodge of Rebeccas was established tt Odell, being a contingent of Kemp Lodge I. O. O. R Tbey start out under favor able auspices. Kvery Saturday evening U. A. New mnn of Pine Grove is a caller at the Little White store. His call at the store Is incidental to bis meeting with bis brother Odd Fellows of Kemp lodge. This thing has been going on so long that should he fail to call for a box of Kentucky Curve tobacco an Saturday we should think something bad happened friend .Newman and wolud use the phone to fined out. Mr. Newman is a man who does things about right. He is faithful to his frlouds, to his lodge, to bis church, and to his home and withal that is broad minded and conserva tive. Here 'a our hand. V. B. Ulack, who came all tbe way from Texas and who is a brother of J. W, Ulack deceased, informs tbe writer that be lutends to appeal tbe case wherein he is contesting the will of Ay 9 ers Bald? Scalp shiny and thin? Then It's probably too late. You neglected dandruff. If you had only taken our ad vice, you would have cured Hair Vigor the dandruff, saved your hair, and added much to it. If not entirely bald, now is your opportunity. Improve it. !!. n,t At.r. lllr Vlror Tor orr M Tttn. 1 am now l 7r. .ilil wl li hej rowth or rich lirown Imlr. rtue. I think, -IriljtoAror'l Hlr Vl,r."

He further tells us that he baa $5000 to spend in tbe case. We oonoede him the right of appeal and no doubt this I500U talk sounds good to bis attorney. As ex ecutor of tbe will, 1 am simply trying to see that tbe wishes of his dead brother are carried out, concerning which we know more than any living person and along this line we have tbe deoision of the court. For tbe present I deem this suliloient, but when the case Is finally settled the writer will have something more to say. Rev, Mr. Wood, the pastor of the Christian obuicbesof Hood River and Odell, preached bis first sermon at Odell last Sunday morning, The new congregation here seems able to sup port a minister and it is probable that the matter of building a new oburcb may soou be considered. We voioe tbe sentiment that was ex pressed by members of tbe Commer cial Club -it iU annual meeting re cntjy, to wit, that in giving a ban quet for tbe purpose of enthusing and stimulating tbe good wort already begun. To tbe work of the club is due many enterprises that bnve proven profitable. Let tbe good work go ou. Last week Frank Sberrieb and wife of liarrett were visiting Mr, and Mrs. Rosewell Shelley. Mr. Sherrieb is a brother of Mrs. Shelley, but owing to the fact that each day seems to tie bis busy day be seldom honors his rela tives with even a call. Mr. Sherrieb was over attending the meeting, hav ing for its put pose the consolidation of several school districts into one large district, with high school grades. This seems a short cut to solving tbe problem of getting an ed ucation at borne, but tbe trouble la to agree on a place. Will tbey? Owing to the sudden departure of Mrs. W. U.

We promised him to have the biaHs band out at the station. Mr. Kccles says the Mount Hood road was built odt of -ueopssity to accom uiodato the Oregon Lumber Co., but once running, the company realizes that whatever builds the country nbo advances the interest or their raiload. Ho you may my that we aro litre to iet the tratlic, and the only way to get it is to treat the people right. Wo want the business, and we know there is jutt one way to get it.

'" Well, ISro. Moore, we've no objections to tiioso follows at Tbe Italics spending their money down here, ami wheu it comes to planting apple trees, they know where to plant them.

The following Address was delivered before tho Odell Literary sreietv De cember 1'J by Oarson O. Musiker: I would address uiy remarks to tbe young, for I am u firm believer iu young pou lu. . Vou are all aware that we tmve here m the United Sta'es of America a guut country the urcatost nn earth iu many things, and we lire all proud of our -country. What ben made our country so great in so many respect)? Yon might Ihii.k that the answer to this would be rather lengthy, and so , it might, but 1 can coudenxe it to a single syllable. If (iod hud uot loved this world he would not have created it; if be bad not loved man be would never have creat ed bim -would never have endowed the sonl of uniu with that divine at tributelove. Man could uot exist without love. We are told that to err t human, but that to forgive is di vine. What prompts a man to for give? Lore. For without love there would be no frrgivenets, aud if a man never forgave anything be would have nofrieuds.and if a man bad no friends and eery man was for himself alone the Etjl One would get all of them and the race would oease to exist. Tho home is tbe foundation of the goiernmeut. What prompted tbe fathers and mothers of this commun ity to build up these homes around here? Love. Ouce the homes are built tbey must be -secured, and we full to of one accord and build forti fications to protect these homes. What is tho first step? Why, to build this school house, for every school house is a veritable fortification agianst ignorance, vice and crime, and we must have it, for love prompts the effort and crowns the result. But we are not done; we must have ancther entrenchment, and we unite to build that church across the street dedicat ed to Ciod, tur God is lave, liut is this ail? Oh, no; we are not done yet. We go on and build that ball aooss the other street dedicated to frieudfcbip, love and truth, and tbe diffusion of the principles of benevo lence aud charity.. What is the main spring of all this Jove? Love for Ood, for country, for 'borne and for our fellow man. Love is tbe mainspring of our being, and it is this divine at tribute tbut rhiseB man above the brute creation. I sometimes bear people sneei at lovers. 'That couple are in love,' says one. 'Yes, ' fays another, 'they are smitten.' 'Well, now, 'says a third, 'don't thevremlnd you of two sick kittens?' Such re marks come from two classes of per sons first the young and giddy who have never felt the een'iment of the tender passion, and sieoudly, from an older claes who seem to have for gotten that tbey themselves were once yonng. In tte cctme of my duties as a jintioe of the pet.ee, I have cttiicat ed at a number of weddings, and 1 have never felt more HStbough'I ttood in tbe immediate presence of my (Jod than on such cccutiona. "Only this would I add, lot your love be pure, so that when your tin.i of marriage comes you may not ap proach tbe hymeneal altar with un clean, hands or with unhallowed thought."

On Sunday, Dec. 17, a wee lassie was born to Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hooker. Each of tbein was the seventh birth in tneir respec tive families, and by reason of tbe fact that they were born on Sunday it is rea onble to suppose that tbey will want to go to Sunday school as soon as tbey arrive at the proper age. I believe that tbe Crapper district can show as many nice babies to the square mile as any other locality in tbe valley. We can put up a 9rst clasa baby show any time. No "race suicide" here. Crapper is just as famous for its "young and rising gen eration" as It 1 for its high class ap ples and its delioious strawberries.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK That a hotel like the Mount Hood Hotel is a big drawing card for a town the size of Hood River? That it great many of the dollars that come into tho town are left here by the strangers who stop at the hotel. That every cent we get hold of is spent with the merchants in our own town. They appreciate it. It helps the town. II helps the valley. They help us. We appreciate it: Did you ever stop to think that the stranger forms his opinion of the town by the hotel the people can support? That it takes money, and lots of it, to run a place the size ot the Alt. Hood Hotel? There Is to-day a crying need of a re formation In the treatment of the body.
