Odell Notes.

Odell, Aug. %, lsO2.--Au ice cream
festival was held on Wednesday even
ing, the Goth, on the clover lawn OF
G. A. Wyman, where, under the mel.
low rays of the moon, old and young
passed right merry time until the wee
small hours.
The Waucoma Manufacturing COM
pany, through its representative, Mr..
Graham, have made arrangements to
lease ground owned by Charley Davis,
one mile south of Odell, to erect saw
mill, and in few days the hum of the
saw will be heard, and in consequence
the timber adjacent will soon be in de-
mand.
Odell is in the heart of East Hood
River valley, with "A store, church and
school house and 81 houses within a
radius Of IA miles and 70 in miles.
One year ago people were saying
property was too high, yet in many
cases the price has doubled in one wear.
History repeats itself Another year
will tell the same story. And five
years will astonish the most sanguine
oldtimer.

saloon Burglary.

Sin Fouts' saloon was entered after
closing hours, Monday night, and
robbed Of $65 or $40. Suspicion rested
upon Charles Harris, who was placed
under arrest by Constable Olinger.
Sam Locke, the night man. closed up
shortly after 1880 and retired to the
office rooms adjoining, Between that
hour and $50 the next morning EN-.
trance WAS effected through rear win
dow aud the cash register and side
till were emptied of their money about
$40. Immediately upon the discovery
Of the robbery Constable Olinger was
notified and search was made Of the
premises. A vest of Harris found al
the rear Of the building was evidence
enough tojustify hunting up the owner.
Harris was aroused from his room in
the Commercial house, and when ques-
toned concerning his whereabouts for
the few hours previous could give a
very unsatisfactory account Of himself.
The evidence against Harris is rather
damaging, aud conviction would mean
couple of years in the penitertiary.

Two Handsome Hood River Dwellings,

Truman Butler and s. III. Cox are
adding two fine residences TO Hood
Rivers list OF substantial dwelling
houses. Tuesday, contractor Cox took
Glacier man through these houses
now in process of. construction, and it
must Be sara that these -haildings-a are
two ias we'll arranged and constructed
homes as anyone would desire. The
designing for Mr.. Buffers house was
done by G. j. Crandall, The Dalles
architect. Mr.. Crandall also assisted
Mr. Cox in the design for his house.
The house being put up by s. II. Cox
is three story, $4,000 building, 42x32
feet in extent. The third floor will con-
tain five commodious bed chambers, a
bath room and modern closet. On the
second floor will be the front and back
parlors, sitting room and library or
Office room. In the basement or first
floor, the walls of which are of brick,
will be located the kitchen, dining room
and pantry, furnace room and laundry.
Mr.. Cox will put in power washing ma
chine to be operated by water motor.
The whole OF the basement will have ce-
ment floor. The dining room and kitchen
are two of the best rooms in the house.
They both face the west and one whole
side OF the dining room is lighted by
two 5x5 windows. Mr.Cox's house is on
the north side OF Oak street, opposite
J. r. Nickelsen's residence. The house
will face the south, and will have porches
for both floors extending the full length
of the house at both front and rear.
The view from the north porches is
splendid, commanding a stretch of the
Columbia river for six miles or more.
The summit Of Mount Adams is also in
view. The handy arrangement of every
thing in Mr.. Cox's house is almost
ideal, and when completed, about the
first Of the year, it will be the most
comfortable home in Hood River.
Truman Buffers house on the sou tn
side of State street, opposite the resi-
dence of Captain A. S. Blowers, will
cost between $4,000 and $500, and will
probably be completed by November.
Everything about the place was planned
with view to comfort and convenience,
and it all presents most homelike and
cozy appearance. The first floor con-
tains an entrance hall and stairway,
OKLA feet, parlor, living room, dining
room, library and kitchen. Upstairs
there are four well-arranged bed rooms
with bath room and toilet. The closet
arrangements for each bed room are
very neat. In the basement will be
located the furnace and wash trays. A
colonial porch extends full length of the
front facing State street. Large windows
will make the rooms OF the main floor
light and airy, The sliding doors are
so arranged that four of the main rooms
may readily be thrown into one, with
only pillar separating them.
Both these dwellings will add much
to Hood Rivers already handsome resi-.
dence section, while they would be a
credit to any city many times the size
of our town.

poisoning the carcass of a sheep. The
claws of the animal are three inches in

served, and will be most valuable

Proposed Wagon Road Up Hood River

A company has been incorporated fol
the purpose OF building a wagon road
from town along the banks of Hood
river to the upper part OF the valley
The incorporators are P. f. Friday, F. B.
Barnes, F, G. Brosius and G. A. Bell.
The proposition is still open to any one
wanting to purchase stock in the same.
The corporation is to be known as the
Hood River Road company, the said
company to have the rights and author
tiles for "buying, owning, holding, i'm
proving, leasing and selling of real es-
state, the construction of roads, toll
roads and highways, and to do all things
necessary for the construction of wagon
roads,"
P. F. Friday, the instigator OF the
project, asserts that he "will push the
road to completion if it busts the boiler, {"
and says further that he has quit talk
ing and proposes now to go to work.
Mr.. Friday, while resident of Tacoma
IA years ago, secured a bridge for that
city after the same manner in which he
is going after this road. He is very en-
thusiastic over the matter and is firm
believer in the feasibility of the scheme.
If things move rightly the company ex-
poets to begin turning earth before snow
flies.
The proposed scheme is the building
of wagon road with a railroad grade
from the east end Of Oak street up the
west side of Hood river, to cross the
river at some convenient point, and to
extend on the east side to about Hans
Lagos place. This means that the road
will have an even steady grade, rising
gradually from town to the terminus in
the upper valley. There will be no up
hill and then down hill about it as there
is with the present East Side grade.
The property of the company will con-
sist in full ownership OF the right
Of way, and when the time
comes for an electric line up the valley,
the company putting it in will pay the
Hood River Road company for use OF
their grade and right of way.

"There is a considerable rush now on

TO AVOID CHICKEN CHOLERA.
\ West Virginia farmer writes in an

West Virginia farmer writes in an
exchange:
In your iSsue of October 1Gth | see
an inquiry regarding so-called chicken
cholera. 1t does moi state what part of
the country this is in. under what CON
ditionS the fowls are kept what kind of
food they receive. what kind of quarters
they have for roOSting. etc Now. let
me say ! am not much of writer. but
l have bred chickens for twenty five
years and never had Il case of So-cilled
cholera in that time. The following is
my remedy: Keep the fowls free from
lice. give them good. clean food clean
water, keep grit before them at all
times. good dust bath and. above all
things. whenever You see a dropping
hen put her by herself and feed her
very sparingly on mash containing
about one grain of that dreaded calomrl
in what mash she will eat up clean. II
she won't eat force IL tablet of calOmel
and soda down her throat and set her
liver in action. get il TO work.
| venture to say if you will dissect
the fowls that are thought to die with
cholera you will fad the liver to have
white spots on it. and that the craw is
free of grit. Take my advice, furnish
the birds with grit, keep the lice off
them. and give the mash with little
calomel about every month and you
won't have any cholera to contend with.

EGGS IN WINTER.

Three things are necessary 10 secure
eggs in winter. namely. early ha tciied
pulletS or early-molting hens not over
years old: warm. dry quarters and a
good variety of sound. wholesome food,
Failure to provide either one of these es-
sentialS VIII affect the results unfavor-
ably.
One of the best ways of feeding for
eggs is warm. soft mess for breakfast
oats kaffir corn. wheat or something of
the kind for dinner and whole corn at
night.
Chaff or cleanngS from the barn floor
or small grain scattered among straw
will afford means of exercise and
make them scratch. Cabbage. turnips.
carrots or potatoes will take the place
of green food.
Fresh water should be supplied at
least twice daily.
Have the nests clean and comfortable.
and if the quarters are not so cold as
10 freeze the combs the hens will lay
with good regularity.
