The weather could not be nicer for
this time OF year in any country.
William A. Offield has returned from
Portland, where he has been for week
on business. He went to camp in the
vicinity of Mount Hood, where he will
spend the winter.
Roy Henson arrived in Mount Hood
last Tuesday from Shaniko and went to
st. Martins Springs. He is not sick
springs might drive out some of the
rheumatism from his system before
winter sets in.
What is the matter with the directors
calling meeting and making arrange
ments to finish the new hall before win
ter sets in?
There is some talk OF school district
No. 43 coming back TO join No. 6. II
this is done it will necessitate the use OF
teams to haul the pupils to school
They have now about 13 children of
school age in 43 and so to 60 in No. 6.
So the next thing will be to build a
larger school house and run a graded
school, as there are more pupils now
than one teacher can do justice to.
W. S. Gribble is building a dwelling
house on his ranch. He is intending to
clear up all of his slashing soon and
will SOW clover. He thinks he can raise
his hay cheaper than to buy it.
Apples are about all harvested and
thrashed as well as most of the spuds.
We don't raise very large spuds here,
but J. II. Steele dug l25 sacks of spuds
off of one acre of ground, all good, sala-
able spuds, but one man could lift any
one in his natch.

also purchased 40 acres from Mr.. Tucker.
He proposes to move his family from
Coos county this fall. Mr.. Strong is a
man of means and intends to improve
his places here. Mr.. Strong agrees
with our honored president in regard to
race suicide, as he is the father of 10
children, who will all become Hood
Rivertes.
Frank Caddy, last week, completed a
commodious house for his chickens 1t
is built after his own plan, and Frank
thinks he has a dandy hen house. There
are three partments-one for roosting,
one for nesting, and the largest for
scratching and feeding. Frank keeps 33
hens. He comes to town every Satur-
day with six dozen eggs. He let's his
hens have the run of the place, feeds
them well on grain, and the eggs are
first class.
G, l.. Copple returned, Wednesday OF

G. r. Bone got his clover hay cured
aud hauled in all right.
A. J. Kassel and family have gone to
the logging camp, where they intend
to spend the winter in helping to get

Odell Notes.

Last weeks notes went wrong some
where between Odell and town through
no fault of the writer.
Ropert Il. Callison, formerly from
Lane county, has purchased and moved
on to the w. V. johnson 20-acre
tract near Odell. Mr.. Callison's grand
father crossed the plains in lS4S, in the
same OK train with my father, settling ON
Pleasant Hill, where he has ever since
resided. He is S5 years old and he and
his good wife have been married SO
years. They were our neighbors in the
days of my childhood Young Callison's
father was schoolmate OF mine in
one-room log school house away back in
the Sos. The descendants of those stur-
dy, honest pioneers, who are part of
the history of our great state, are a good
class of people, and we welcome such in
our midst.
About ten DAYS ago it was my pleas
ure to make a trip to the Elk Beds, where
the elevation is $500 feet above sea level
The day was perfect and the beautifully
tinted autumn leaves that fringe the
hills and roadsides, together with
the red apples that tempts one, as lie
goes by, made up charming picture.
We found homes all along the way, the
last one being only about five miles from
Cloud Cap Inn. For pure air and scenic
effects this is trip well worth the taking,
and a trip you will remember.
The road work done last week across
the fiat beyond fuckers bridge is worthy
of note, and Mr.. Blorher, who took mp
the subscriptions and superintended the |
work, is entitled to much credit. Only |
a few of the many people who use the
road turned out, but the work done /
there in three days time speaks for /
itself, and is an object lesson on good
roads.
In a country that scarcely has a peer
from standpoint of prosperity and in
creasiug valuations, part of our road
to town is a positive disgrace, and strsng-
ers looking over our fertile valley re-
mark about it. And little wonder i'll

Hood River in the morning instead of
