here we are at the open door of a new

cult's, unless you Intend to keep them.
We were absent from home when
the yule tide of Christmas rolled in,
bonce had no Christmas notes from
Cdell. Hut that your renders may
understand bow suporlloially many
people read, one of my good friends,
a gentleman who roads the paper and
who lives iu town, congratulated mo
last week on my Christmas sermon in
the Glacier. But when 1 told hi in
that I didn't write a lino last week,
and that be must apologize to Bro
Brayford of Rockford for this awful
bluudei, tie saw be was up against it
and promised to square himself with
your Barrett correspondent, for whom
wo have a profound regard. My dis
tinguished friend was reading fiom
the Barrett column Instead of the
Udell notes.
Last Saturday morning nature's ar
tist pave us a beautiful picture. The
earth was carpeted with white, while
the leafless oak limbs looked stately
lioueiith their ' jowolod-like settings.
Beside and about tho oaks were the
pities that seemed bowed down ueatb
their burdens, their limbs drooping,
Ho as we turn the luHt leaves of the
dying year and behold the weight of
winter as it grips the trees, and the
things about us In nature, may we
not as we pause upon the threshold of
the now year, and cast a swift look
backward through tho weight of years,
better understand the meaning of
these grey hairs and more fully real
ize that before many more mile stones
are passed that we, too, will totter
and fall like some tall tree of the for
est that for centuries has withstood
the storms of winter. But lest we
pauM too Jong nr brood over the mis
take of, the past, let's be olt again
and somewhere in the thickest of the
battle perhaps we may again catch
that bow of promise that during all
the years of our lives lias beckoned us
from defeat to victory as well as from
victory to defeat. Remembering as
we journey along, "Thut 'tis better
to have tried and fulled, than not to
have tried at all."
During tho holiday vacation the
teachers of the Odell school have all
been absent. Mr. Knuis with bis
family baa been in Portland; Miss
Thompson at her borne at The Dalles,
and Miss Davenport at M osier. Tbey
have all returned and are again in
the harness.
J. L. Tousey, one of Portland's
teachers, spent his vacation on bis
ranch near Udell.
Cbas. Roberts, Jr., who Is a student
in U. A. C. at Corvallis, spent the
holidays with bis parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C (1. Huberts, of Tauglewood,
near "Winans City." Charley while
here lauded an eight pound salmon
from turbulent Hood river. This feat
was accomplished in one boui's time,
when tne big fish had grown weary
struggling tor liberty. Charley did
this with book and line and should tie
justly proud of his acoomplishment.
Charley is an expert angler and there
are a lot of Odellites thut would like
to know bow it was done. Charley
says its easy, but tbe secret be keeps.
Utto Ehrek says be is lonely since
his brother Will got married and left.
Well, Utto, we know a young lady
who says she don't care if BiiJy is
married so long as you are left.
Last Friday evening after tbe musi
cule and literary program was o'er
there was an old fashioned spelling
class chosen, and tbe result was tbat
Mrs. It. K. Callison beat the whole
shootiug match. Mrs. Callison Is tbe
m ther of quite a family of children,
some of whom are in -.be ninth grade,
but let me teli you that when Mrs.
Callison and some of us older than she
went to school tbey taught spelling
orally, and tbey not only taught it
hut tbey practiced it almost every
Friday afternoon and It is my opin
ion tbat some of tbe modern methods
of teaching are not as good after all
as tho oh. fashioned way. Spelling
seems almost a lost art, judging by
the army of poor spellers that are to
be found today. .
Last Sunday Rev. Wood preached
at the Union church here an interest
ing sermon. Mr. Wood Is intelligent
and cultured and bis sermons seem to
come from the bea't, and consequent
ly reach bis hearers. Tbe writer
would be pleased to bear biui preach
from the fifth chapter of James, tak
ing for his text the first six verses.
My reason for this suggestion is tbat
1 think he is tearless iu bis utterances
on the right side and believe hi in
cpalile of bundling tbe trusts and the
political grafter, concerning whom
this text refers.
K. B. Bragg, the merchant prince
of Hood Kiver, Mr. Byerly, the all
'round hustler for tbe News-Letter,
and Mr. llollowell were in attendance
at church here last Sunday. They
were here representing tbe church at
Hood Kiver to meet the oUlcers and
members of the O ell Christian
church to effect a mutual arrange
ment concerning the work of their
pastor, Mr. Wood, who is engaged to
serve the town church and tbe church
at Udell for the coming year. We
were glad to meet these genial gentle
men, and right glad, also, that they
had opportunity to take a look at the
Hub of Kast Hood Kiver valley. Call
again.
Mr. Dudley Holland, who recently
purchased the John Lawless place,
will have a family move In soon, and
the work of improving will begin by
rebuilding eld fences and enclosing
the entire 10 acres, and putting into
cultivation all available land in ti e
spring. Tbis ranch when once fixed
up, as Mr. Holland plans, with quite
su increased acreage of apple trees,
will be one of the choice places of tbis
section, and will always bring a fancy
price if put upon tbe market. We
congratulate tbe community on such
an acquisition as Mr. Holland and
also congratulate him on bis excellent
bargain.
Henry Avery was doing business at
tbe Little White store one diy last
week. For three years now bis grey
horses bead this way when their gro
cery stock runs low.
John Lawless and family will soon
be off tcward the sunny south. John
reluctantly turns his back on Hood
Kiver valley. He would not go at all
were It not iu tbe hope that bis wife's
health may be improved. John's sale
caused Pbil Warren, his renter, to
pull back to Viento, leaving vacant a
building that was erected for a meat
market.
H. M. Poolo, who has been ill for
some time, is now in The Dalles for
treatmeut.
Miss Netie Kemp, Udell's elocution
ist, is spending a few days at Menom
inee. Dr. Shaw was out to Odell last Sat
urday on a professional call. A doc
tor's call is an item we do not like to
record, yet we are always glad to greet
tbe doctor.
W. L. Carnes, who advertises for
bard jobs, is now engaged in grubbing
three acres by oontraot and is getting
on tine.
Tbe Little White store people have
let a contract to tbe Dodge Bros, to
grub out about 100 trees, ranging In
size from 8 to 36 inches, on their 25
aore tract near tbe store. This work
will increase tbe value of the pi ce,
and it might happen that if some one
should want to buy one of the nicest
little tracts iu all this section, thut
the owners might be tempted with a
fancy offer. Tbe man behind tbe
grub hoe and wood saw will be much
in evidence here for the next three
months, which will greatly enhance
values In tbe Odell section.
The closing of tbe deal of that Ger
man coach horse la still another in
dication that the people of Hood Kiv
er are entitled to tbe best things go
ing. A :W00 horse looks good, and
It is our opinion that under the liber
al terms of sale that tbis venture will
not only prove a public benefit In tne
breeding and growing of first class
horses, but a good investment for the
owners of tbi' valuable horse, who are
to lie commended for their enterprise
In placing this fine horse iu the
valley.
We received letter last Monduy
from J. 11. Dunn, now of Kansas City,
Kansas. Mr. Dunn formerly lived t
Udell and says tbat. sinoe going to
Kansas last fall he hasn't had a good
riuk of water, a good apploor a good
brea h of air. lie further says that
if tbe Lord is willing be will be in
Hood Kiver by tbe first of April. He
also authorizes me to have the Ulaciei

The circulation of the paper is hav

Editor Hood River Glacier,
Hear Sir: Mr. J. P. Hill.-trom
forwarded to our ollica a clii u i
from your paper under date ot I
cemoer i, anil wnien cupping un
tains a very unjust statement in re
gard to the settlement by the Order
of Washington of t tie Crockett claim.
lhe writer i-i out visiting all the sub
orillnale Union of the Order and th
clipping has Jibt reached him, elst
you would have received our explain!
l ion sooner.
It is not possible, Mr. Editor, for
you to nave leen acquainted with tin
tacls, oJse you would never hare per
nutted such an unjust, unkind and
iinfraternal statement to have becu
published in your paper. We are of
the opinion that the writer of tho ar
tide penned it with nialieioua inten
and shall ask that you coriect this
very tintruthlul strtemont, giving it
as much prominenco as be attracting
article was granted.
lhe tacts in this ease are. that Mr.
Crockett did join Tbe Order of Lions
as the article states and was a mem
tier for some time but at the time of
the consolidation of The Ordor of
Lions with the Order of Wai-biugton
ana nr. tue tune or the dent li of Air.
Crockett about the same time, the
records of tbe Order of Llous showed
Mr. Crockett to tie delinquent ou ao-
count of the failure to pay his assess
uient for Uiu previous mouth. It was
upon this ground that the claim hung
fire so long. Furthermore let it be
said that the former Supreme Piesi
dent of The Order of Lions had this
cuse under luvotigatiou with the Su
preme Odicers of the Older of Wash
ington and that he himself advised
that the claim could not be allowed,
There is no blame to be attached to
lhe Order of Washington and instead
of Maine it deserves the Vniise of the
triend at Mood luvnr who so fur for
got the truth to tell that which must
have been known to be false iu every
part. Whon the claim was sent to
Portland, the Order of Washington
met the situation and a careful and
campleto investigation was made and
a settlement made which was fair and
square aiuljwaa a settlement that was
made not on actual liability so much
as it was made to give this widow and
children the b-neiit of the doubt. j
We ask you, Mr. Kditir, to see that
justice is given in this case, if you
This is the time of year we are preparing for

We are having some winter here
now. About five inches of snow fell

who has lived in Hood Kiver valley

DID YOU EVER

That a hotel like tho

is a big drawing card for a
town the size of Hood River?
That a great many of tho

get hold of is spent with tin

That it takes money, and
