j. F. Batchelder, member of the
| Hood River Development Co., was in
town Monday. Mr.. Batchelder says
there will be decided movement this
summer in Hood River real estate. A
large number of Portland people are
making inquiries for locations here, and
several of them have arranged to erect
cottages in the beautiful wooded groves
adjacent to the Country Club Inn. As
soon as warm weather comes on, Mrs.
Munra will be up to again take charge
of the Inn, and as soon as school is
closed, Mrs. Batchelder and children
will come prepared to spend the sum-
mer Mr.. Batchelder drove through
the valley, Sunday, and he says the
great amount of improvement every
where was surprise. He had no idea
so much work was going on. He thinks
there is a very bright outlook for pros
porous summer this year in Hood River.
Little Lawrence Hershner may be
seen on the streets almost every day
now, walking with his crutches. Mr..
Hershner returned with him from Port
land on the 1st instant. The physicians
there thought that with plenty of exer-
else in the fresh air, and the massage
treatment on his limb, he would finally
reach complete recovery. His hip is
very stiff and it will be long time be-
fore he can walk without crutches. He
took sick on November z, and was
great sufferer until about one month
ago. 1t is a great relief to his parents
to see him as well as he il.
The concert given by the Jolly Jokers
at Mount Hood March II brought out
full house. The show was we'll re-
ceived, and everyone expressed himself as
getting the worth of his money. The
company will appear at the Mormon
church Thursday evening, March "a
Persons who attended at Mount Hood
said they had given as much as 81 to see
a show not half as good. The house
was kept in an uproar throughout the
entertainment.
That the railroad to Dufur will be built
this season seems to be assured. Rights
of way for the road have been secured
the entire length OF the line with theex-
ception OF three property owners, and it
is stated that there is sufficient capital
back of the enterprise to build the road,
and that construction will begin at an
early date.-Mountaineer.
G. r. Castner goes on crutches, the
result of a severe cut on his right foot.
Mr.. Castner was trimming post at the
time, when the ak slipped and struck
his foot glancing blow across the toes.
Several cords we're severed, and the
wonder is that he did not lose all his
toes. 1t required five stitches to close
the wound.
The Dalles is soon to lose one OF its
best citizens in the person of Hon. J. f.
Moore, who contemplates opening law
office at Moro within few weeks and
will no doubt move his family thither
in the summer. We also regret to learn
that the family of A. NJ. Kelsay expects
to join him at Hood River in the near
future.-Chronicle.
A move is on foot to get reserve es-
tablished on the headwaters of Mill
creek and Dog river from which The
Dalles gets its water supply, says the
Mountaineer.
Hugh Gourlay, the insurance man,
was in town Monday, looking after re-
newals for insurance in the Oregon Fire
