HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1905.
BARRETT.
It teem to me that idfut steps
should tie taken (or the purchasing of
a rock crusher. It has already been
demonstrated what good roads cau be
u mle with rock and gravel, but the
it; I; broken up and then put on the
lend would be eeu much better than
gravel. It will take a email tax on
each taxpayer in the valley, but what
is that iu coiupai iwou to good roan a.
It would Mutually save tiiouey to the
farmer. He would mnke better time
going to towu and his berries would
not be shook up iuto a jelly. If there
in a good roadti committee why not
call a meeting of it, t hen if there is
no giod roads con .nikue, the Com
mercial Club can cult a meeting, then
we will know tho sentiment of the
peoplo of the valley.
II. C. McKfin.ey is a very busy man
with his grubbing machine. It seems
as though he was turning the earth
right up. II. C. tays bis little team
and cable cau move any root and it
looks that way to me.
Mrs. W. Nichols aud baby have re
turned homo after boing out on the
homestead tor several weeks. VV ill of
course, will be at borne for the holi
days and eat Christmas pudding.
Why do yon spend your money for
that which is not bread and your la
bor for that which satislieth not;
listen unto me whilst 1 tell you that
you cau buy shorts aud barley just
as cheap at Rockford as any place,
save time, money and axle grease by
calling at Rockford.
Joel Hloimt brought in a strawberry
plant in full bloom, last Friday.. Joel
says that if that was in Colorado, they
would blow it up. Yes, they might
do that but they cannot raise Ho id
Kiver strawherries iu Colorado, neith
er ran they rai?e anything liko our
apples.
Ho wind Shoemaker has completed
the grubbing contract and has pulled
out of the liurrett district aud with
his outfit hs goue on the eat side to
work.
On Saturday, December 23, at 10
o'clock, there will be an election held

at the Barrett school.
J. T. Harnett says he just put in
two good solid hours one day last
week, pairing a horse's foot and took
out a few corns and now the old plug
foels a heap better. Yes, of course,
J. T. can do tbo work if you only
give hiui the chrmice and by the way,
J. T. ia very reasonable in charges.

his baru, to that us the bay is fed out
be can move the stanchions a little
closer.
V. S. tiribble is jumping sideways
these times, getting bis holiday goods
ready for sale.
Mount Hood is coming to the front
very fast. It ia only a matter of a
short time when wo will make people
open their eyes and respect Mount
Hood, as a dairy country, also as a
fruit couutry, as it has passed the ex
perimental stage. As for vegetables,
although we don't raise- them so large
that two policemen can sleep on one
beet up here, jet it is bard to beat us
in all kinds of vegetables.
As for dairying, M. Dumas Gas one
for you. He is milking three cows and
shipping the cream to Hazelwood, aud
on the 11th i f December, he got bis
cheek for f.Xio. How is that? All
tho rest of us who me shippiug cream
are well plowed with those returns and
are giing to try and he better fixed
for the 'business by another year.
There ate ubont seveu shipping cream
with a prospect of more going in in
the spring:- .
W. 11. Marshnil will set ut about
20 acres to apples net spring and set
berries between the rows. With the
railroad iu reach of us we are hound
to grow and land can be had ut ulmost
auy old price. Haw laud is very cheap
ami tho Koil o believe is superior to
the soil in the lower valley. On an

per acre.

Many think that Jarre.- Davidson is
a little late iu the season with his

since he gave it a coat of paint.
O. Freder.bnrg took dinner with
Jeste Davidson Sunday.
Floyd Ilefs and Fred WUhart at

DUKES VALLEY.
Wo are bavins all kinds of weather
here at present It will snow awhile,
then rain, then frost; then it will
rain, snow and frost all at the same
time. The sun oomes out once in
awhile and looks down on as and
smiles. We have had a very nir.e fall
and winter so far; the rain and snow
has hindered outdoor work very little.
Those that are clearing land say they
have lost very few days on account of
bad weather.
The Dodge brothers have received
their new stump puller fiom Center
ville, Iowa. - It is claimed to be the
fastest, strognest and best stamp ma
chine made, and is guaranteed against

weather holds good. They have eight
acres to clear on Willow Flit, and theu
tbey will clear some on their own
land.
J. Q. Carnahan lost one of his hors
es last week, cause unknown. J. Q.
says he Is going to got a bone grinder
and go to grinding horse bones for
chicken feed. He says be has enough
horse bones ou his ranch to supply
the whole valley for a year.
Two of our townsmen locked boms
up at Bone's mill one day last week.
It looked for awhile as if we were go
ing to see a scran, but both parties
oonoluded that such work might be
Hard on the eyes and parted g'od
friends again.
Our school commenced again last
Wednesday with Miss Bess lseuberg
of Belmont as to; clier. It begun to
look as if we sure not goii g to have
any more school this wiuU i, as Miss
Isenberg was engaged to commence
teaching over two weeks eg:), on the
3rd. But when she arrived here she
could find no place where she could
secure board. She dually secured
I'oard at the home of u. D. Boyd.
We expect to have a good school the
rest of the term, as Miss Isenberg
oomes well reconiniendeu and is well
liked wherever she has taught.
Mrs. M. C. Carnahn went to Salem
last week to visit her son. Mr. Cam
aban went ou Monday and will accom
pany her home this week.

new rastio and make a new house out

Mrs. A. T. Dodge reoeived a letter
from a friend in Kausas.last week, aud
she stated that a used-to-be neighboi
of A. T. Dodge's came out to the
Lewis aud Clark fair this summer.
When he returned be was asked hew
ho liked Oregon. He said he bad no
use for Oregon : that it rained all the
time he was here; that it was cold and
foggy all the time aud that the coun
try was so ro.:gh that be couldn't
see nowhere. He was asked why hi
didn't stop and see Dodge's folks,
and he said he would but be did nit
know where Hood River was. He bad
heard something about it, and had
1 ! .. ., i .1 nk,,, 11 hul nn mi o
seemed to know much about it. Now
that man must be bughouse and have
wheels iu his head, or perhaps coming
from a prohibition state, the atmos
phere was too strong for him, but
more than likely red eye had some
thing to do with it. At any rate w
are glad he got back to Kansas all
right, aud we are glad he likes to live
thore.
Sav.- where is our Willow Flat cor
respondent, we bavn't heard from bim
for a lone time, he sprung op of a
sudden, he flourished like a green bay
tree for a season and dropped out or
sight as suddenly. Wake up neigh
bor, such a busy thriving little place
as Willow Flat, ought to report ouce
in a while, anyway.
