The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-03-03
OdeIl Notes.

Inc entertainment last fFluay a.
Sears hall given by the Jolly Jokeri
was very creditable, but rendered to Q
small audience, owing to weather con
ditions that could not be foretold.
The Odell school has light attend
ance since its opening after close down
of 10 days.
Otto Ehrck went to Portland last
Sunday for few days visit with his
sister, Mrs. Mccoy who resides there.
William Ehrck is somewhat indis
posed, but nothing serious isanticipated
And still the working man is tied uT
ON account OF inclement weather. About
the only occupation now is that of shov'
cling snow and breaking roads for Bailey
the jolly mai carrier.
Mr. Tracy and wife from Maine spent
few days, recently, with Messrs. B. I.
and Sherman Young, Mrs Tracy being
sister of the Young brothers. They
returned to Portland few days ago.
The work on the Bone ditch is neces-
sarily postponed on account of weather
conditions. Just now we are long on
water.
Rumor has it that soon another store
will be started at 0dell. There is ample
room to build store buildings here, SC
come along.
Mr.. Kellogg, formerly OF the Mount
Hood settlement, has leased the &. L.
Rogers place at Willow Flat for several
years and will soon move there.
Mrs. Booth is visiting friends in The
Dalles this week.
About the only man here who is prof
iting by this stormy weather is L. NJ.
Wilson, who has sledded down from
Mount Hood, lumber sufficient to build
house. 1t is cold day when Wilson
gets left--or words to that effect.
1t does not require prophetic finger
to point to the fact that the West
is on the eve Of wonderful tide o.
prosperity, which will last, no doubt ,foI
several years. The result of the Russo
Japanese war, together with the Lewis
and Clark fair puts into the hands oi
the farmers OF the Northwest hand
which, if played, should prove biz
winner. The war conditions have stim.
ulated, prices and with the probability
of Russia's inability to export wheat,
the result is an easy problem to figure
out.
What's the matter with the Roosevelt
club organized seven weeks ago2 Why
not have a rousiDg meeting? Al
most every day crowd gathers a
the Little White Store to await the
coming of the mail ,and politics and wal
in the far East are the absorbing topics
Roosevelt,as chief OF the nations affairs
is prominent. The fact is, l haven
heard a single man, regardless of poll
tical faith, that opposes his candidacy
There are no trusts here. Roosevelt il
surely and easily the peoples candidate
Frank Neff has beautiful collection
of stereoscopic views on display at tht
Little White Store. The views are 10
cal, all being scenes along the wild
rushing waters OF Hood river, west oi
Odell.
James Eggert informs me that friend
of his in Kansas, having recently sold
out his farm there, is only waiting tht
time when he can secure house to
move his family into here, aud he will
tart for Hood River.
Mr.. Hollowell, who lives at Eggermont
is also looking for friends from Indians
in early spring. There is room and op'
portunity for many more enterprisine
people in the famous valley of Hood
River, and while as rule, it is unsafe
to advise friends concerning a location
for investment and home, Hood Rivei
! stands in the front rank as an execution
And the longer the matter is deferred
the greater will be the cost OF a homG
site.
