The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-10-27

Valley literary last Friday evening,
After musical and literary program
was rendered the local option question
was discussed The leaders on the
question were: d. l.. Davidson on the
affirmative and Gilbert Edgington on
the negative. After listening with
interest to the arguments pro aud con,
we came home fully convinced as to
how we should vote on the question.
If all the parties who cheered the local
option speakers had vote, local option
would undoubtedly sweep Dukes
Valley, but Notwithstanding the appar-
ent feeling in favor of the affirmative
the decision was rendered in favor of
the negative. Dukes Valley possesses
both musical and literary talent, and
as most great men come from the
country districts Dukes Valley should
he heard fIom They are to be COM
mended for their enterprise in furnish
ing profitable entertainment during
the long winter evenings,
The Little White Store has Just re-

Mrs. Rose Shelley recently closed a
deal for five acres of land adjoining the
Little White store. II was a cash pur-
chase and the consideration satisfactory.
There are other bargains on the same

In order to close up the wood bust
ness for the season the Little Whit,
store offers few ricks of good pine
block wood delivered in town al
reasonable prices
Why go to town for goods when you
can save the hauling by trading at the
Little White Store? The store is here
To stay; and why? Because its price,
are invariably right. No trouble tC
show goods, Then if you don't pur
chase it is our fault not yours.
Better look at the swaps in land neai

are improving them.

Elkins success in his new field.
