The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-11-12

Quite number OF children have been
transferred by change of district boun-
daries, from the Crapper school to the
school in this district. OF course, we
don't object, only why not include all
the valley at one swipe and not increase
us by piece meal? 1t is so trying on the
teachers nerves, to say nothing of com.
pelling the boys of this district to keep
in training all the time so as to be in
condition to meet new corners.
Recognizing the superiority Of this
section, strangers are constantly pur.
chasing property on every road leading
out from the Barrett school house, all
aiming to secure homes, where, while
enjoying the country air, they yet have
all the conveniences of the city, viz: a
graded school, two churches, telephones,
daily mail delivery, first class general
store, and class of citizens that are the
peer of any people in the valley. And
yet there is room for more. A good
blacksmith who is industrious and
obliging can find an opening here that
cannot be surpassed anywhere.
Comrade Tweedy is finishing up his
house, so as to deliver the property to
the purchaser of his l0-acre tract. We
are sorry to lose brother Tweedy, but as
he expects to remain in Hood River we
can still josh him up once in while.
Mrs. E. B. Miller, of Moro, Sherman
county, and her two children, are visit
ing at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. 7. Bishop, and are kept busy re.
newing old acquaintanceships, as Mrs
Miller was formerly resident of this
section. We trust that her visit may
prove so pleasant that it will be pro.
longed indefinitely.
S. A. Skinner has begun the erection
of an addition to his house, and when
finished, if it ever is, he will have one
OF the coziest homes in the valley. Quer-
ry: What does he want of any more
house than he has? He says it is not for
HER, and when we look at him, we un
derstand that it would take more than
a new house, but we propose to investi'
gate and report later.
Foundry S. A. Skinner, a large
bundle of paper, supposed to be apple
paper. The owner can have the same
by applying to Mr.. Skinner, quarter oi
a mile north OF the Barrett school house.
R. B. Bragg, the Hood River mer-
chant, was visitor in Barrett Sunday,
and attended service at the Valley
Christian church. Come again, brother.
We understand that Miss Bodine, who
clerked at the Paris Fair in Hood River,
is victim of the smallpox. Miss Bo-
dine has the sympathy of large circle
OF friends who one and all sincerely
trust she may soon recover.
The new store has invested in a new
delivery rig and we understand will de-
liver goods free anywhere this side of
Mount Hood and White Salmon.
The new houses go up so fast in this
section that 1t is impossible for your
correspondent to keep track of them.
We notice new one being erected near
l.. Morse's, but could not learn to
whom it belongs.
Mrs. 5. Cochran was called to Wash
ington by the severe illness of her bro
ther. We trust that she may soon re-
turn with the information that he is out
of danger, and his speedy recovery as
sured.
We ran up against bunch of fruit
trees the other day in Hood River and
found |. \. f. on the push end of them.
We found out where he got them, but
we we're too late as they had putaguard
over them. We always were unlucky.
CARD OF THANKS.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Hoole desire to
express their sincere thanks to friends
and neighbors who were so kindly atten.
tive to Mr.. HOole during his late illness.
and especially to the ladies' aid society
OF the Valley Christian church, not
alone for their sympathy, but for the
gift of many beautiful flowers, whose
delicious fragrance filled the sick room,
and aided to considerable degree in
bis recovery. May God bless you all.
Respectfully,
Mr.. AND MRs. W. r. HoOLE.
