MITCHELL'S POINT
Great was the pleasant surprise of
James Rutledge, a carpenter who is
working on Little Boy ranch, last
week, when he was greeted by his son,
whom he had not seen for 21 years.
The carpenter was engaged in sawing
away the end of a Learn, when a husky
ma", six feet tall, and now 25 years
old, walked up behind him and slap
ping him on the back, extended his
hand and cried : "Hello, Dnd!"
The father, however, failed to recog
nize the boy. He wiped the perspera
tion from his brow and looking at the
big blonde youth confronting him
asked: "What's the joke?" And then
the lad grabbed him in his aims, told
him that he was the boy that he had
not seen in 20 years and received the
paternal embrace.
Mr. Rutledge came west with plans
to have his- family follow. For 20
years the time of their coming has
been deferred from one cause or an
other. The son continued a correspon
dence with him and this spring decided
to come to Hood the River valley and
join his father.

kitchen utensils greeted her as she
very deliberately unpacked them and
was assured they were her property
providing she handled them with care.
Delicious refreshments were served.
BLODGETVILLE
The younger set, under the leader
ship of mafter George Baker, held a
delightful series of cotillions during
the winter season. Master George
seems to take after his ever charming
mother, and as a dance leader has
made quite a hit, having invented
several new and fantastic figures, his
own among others. Perhaps his most
notable social triumph, however, was
at a recent series of tableaux staged
by the Parkdale Guild. When he
appeared as Little Lnrd Fauntleroy, he
was cute.
Much regret is heard on all sides
because Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Winter
are building a house in Hood River and
plan to spend the summer there instead
of on the ranch at Parkdale. The
Home Telephone Co. recently author
ized a new bond issue, with the avails
of which they purchased a mutorcycle,
and Mr. Winter with his ever keen
sense of responsibility feels that he
must personally remain near (or upon
the machine.) Besides-the roads are
smoother in Hood River, and Mr. Win
ter considers that walking is good for

The condition of Mayor Blodgett still !
causes uneasiness in official circles.
Since the accident to his Honor's in
formation gatherer the impaired hear- ;
ing has been quite noticeable espec-!
ially when approached by friends to:
whom he owes money. When inter-1
viewed by your correspondent the j
mayor remarked thoughtfully but 1
thickly, "I feels the loss uv me gossip
gleaner keenly, liuh.de, it is a mis
fortune to be deef whin one's til i phone
is on a party line. Howsomever, I
shall sthrive to do me duty and the
publick as in the pasht. You may
quote me as sayin' that I hiv nothink
to say."
Ray-ray Babson returned Saturday
from Hood River, where he had gone
to vote at the primaries. Mr. Babson
cxpreessed himself as thoroughly dis
heartened over the manner in which
our versatile friend, the "South Af
rican-Todger," had captured the
Republican presidential nomination in
this state. As Mr. Babson so tersely
put it: "Wot is the great state uv
Oregon comin' to? To nominate a man
wot don't know the difference between
the 'Hood River Apple Growers Union'
and tne 'Hood River Ui.ion of Apple
Growers,' is, to me mind, little short
uv political mayhem. As fur me, 1 am
strong for the prohibition candidate
an' direct tiliphonic communication
with 'lhe Dalles."
F. F. McCrea, of unsavory memory,
the forn.er city treasurer of Blodgct
ville, was seen recently in the out
skirts of Hood River in company with
a small, black, mop-shaped animal,
probably of the genus canine. For
mer acquaintances of McCrea had
hoped that the man would turn over a
new leaf and make a new start in life,
but there seems little hope of this,
since it is reported on reliable author
ity that the dog in question is the
property of one D. Currier, a farm
hand of these parts.
