The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-11-14
OdeIl Notes.

The recent heavy rains are playing
havoc with the roads. In several
places the surface water is cutting
them up, where little work would
drain It off. The road supervisor OF
this district Is like the average police
man when trouble comes, he is off on
some other beat. If there has been a
lick of work done on the roads in
Odell district this year | am not aware
of it. Yesterday team stuck between
Charley Davis and Dan Smiths place,
and winter scarcely begun.
1t was real treat to receive the~glad
hand of the Editor of the Glacier while
In town yesterday. Glad to see you
home.
Hon. J. M. Shelley, brother of Troy
and Roswell Shelley was guest of
Troy's over Sunday and on Monday
called at the little white store. Mr.
Shelley owns a half interest in a rs
barrel Touring mill at Eugene, where
he has made his residence for many
years. He is member of the leglsla-
ture from Lane county. His. wife ac-
companied him. They are charmed
with Hood River. Monday evening
they took the train to Boise, Idaho. On
the way to town over the West Side,
so many delightful pictures unfolded
themselves TO their view in clover mead
ows and heavy laden apple orchards so
richly colored that it seemed as if the
hand of some artist had figured here
This, together with the uplifting seem
cry on every hand, proved a perfect
revelation to them. But there is no
use of trying to describe Hood River
valley with its wealth of scenery aud
Its boundless resources. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated.
On Monday Frank aud Bernice Wy
man returned from Walla Walla,
where they were attending college un-
til Frank became ill with typhoid fe-
yer, 1t must have been a close call for
Frank, judging from his appearance.
Glad to see you back, but regret the
cause that led to your return.
Mrs. c. G. Roberts returned last Fri
day from Portland after several days
absence.
If it is not wood hauling it is some-
thing else that keeps the road lined
with teams. Now it is the apple wagon
that sheds its fragrance along the way,
instead of the breath of the pine wood.
The Rev. c. A. Wyman left for Port
land today on business connected with
his brick and tile factory.
MIR. Wyman's work reaches beyond
the pulpit in more ways than one and
Odell is to be congratulated on the fact
of his having withdrawn his place from
sale and his conclusion to remain per-
manently here.
A distinguishing feature of the pro-
gramme at the literary club last week,
was the song of little Johnnie
White. IL brought forth storm of
applause and AN encore, and Johnnie
was loaded for bear and responded in a
manner that would have done credit to
more pretentious place than 0dell.
Business at the little white store has
grown to such proportions already that
freight team is indispensable. Today,
the proprietor was seen handling the
ribbons over a pair Of Inc Englishshires
purchased from B. T. Young. Mr..
Young has sold 10 headthis season most
ofthem being from one herd and brand
ed figure 5. They have all proven
good and tractable, and Mr.. Young is
TO be congratulated on his horse sense.
A potato weighing four pounds can
be seen in the window Of the little
white store. Ii was grown in the
garden Of Troy Shelley. John kroeger
has also fine exhibit there. g
