IN EAST HOOD
RIVER VALLEY
By Roswell Shelley.

Odell, Or, Oct. 13.-0dell is what
may properly be termed the hub of
East Hood River. The foundation be-
ing already laid there for a prosperous
little village.
Two years ago the Little White Store
man undertook what was called an ex-
pertinent in establishing the first busi-
ness house there, but with an abiding
faith in the future of the valley, he
laid his plans, and by constant work
and economy is now in position to say
to the public that his enterprise has
passed the experimental stage.
Today the business is upon very
satisfactory basis, and steadily gaining.
1t is not exagerating when the asser-
ton is made herein that no store in
the famous valley of Hood River is
better known than is the Little
White store, situated at the junction
of the Cloud Cap Inn and the Falls
roads, seven miles from HOOD River.
AS evidence of the above statement,
lumber is now on the ground for an
other store.
Odel has church, school house,
blacksmith shop apd a store, with more
to follow.
And why all this activity? 1t is be
cause Odell is centrally located in one
of the most picturesque and prosperous
little valleys of the Northwest. 1t is
because we justly boast of these dis
tinct advantages over other sections,
which we beg to sum up briefly as fol-
lows: climate, soil and natural spring
water.
In this neighborhood you will find
apple land that cannot be beaten in the
world. You will also find hay and
berry land that probably excels any
other section, both in quantity and
quality of the products; while the seem
ic effects are beyond description and
meet fully the requirements of the
romantic homeseeker, and the climate
is all that could be desired by such as
are worn in body and nerve.
Sheltered by nature from the heavy
winds that sweep up the Columbia;
then looking northward and south
ward the valley seems guarded by the
two snOw-capped sentinels, Mount
Hood and Mount Adams, the bases of
which are covered with evergreen hills,
while down below, the valley is dotted
with green fields and the hilsdes with
the apples that bring $2.l0 per box.
East Hood River furnishes text for
many columns of good reading, and
when the new orchards that have been
planted in the last two years are in full
bearing; the clover and berry fields en-
larged as their future promises they
will be; the enterprise of dairying de-
veloped, as it will be soon; when the
the mountain forests yield up their
treasures; the cars laden with the pro-
duets of farm and forests are speeding
up and down the valley withlsteam, or
electric harness; when the rushing,
roaring waters of Hood river, are tanned
so that by pressing the button thous-
and wheels will revolve and the facto-
ry spindle hum; when thousands of
country homes will be lighted by elec-
tricity, then will Hood River valley be
land of milk and honey; land far
removed from poverty and want; a
land where from every hillside will
echo the chimes of church and school
bells.

Some Odell Farms.

The first farm that one meets at the
top of fuckers hill after winding up the
steep grade, is the fine home of L. Plog.
The residence, barns, apple house and
apple orchard are on the level bench
along the main road, and both Mount
Adams and Mount Hood are in plain
view. There are Is acres in bearing, and
and 10 acres of young trees. Mr.. Plog
came here two years ago from Iowa, and
and while he made some mistakes the
first year, has developed into progress
i've fruit raiser
p. D. Jochimsen owns so acres south
of the plog farm, and farms the good old
way. He does not like fruit raising, but
has 80 acres in clover, Is in wheat hay,
and 20 acres summer fallow. lie keeps
10 COWS and makes butter and his fine
buildings and general thriftiness of the
place shows that he is making a good
profit.
Rosco Miller is clearing up most ofhis
40 acres, and has a small orchard set
out, but will plant 700 more apple trees
in the spring. He has also IA acres in
clover
C. NJ. Busey has a fine young orchard
of eight acres, and the trees look as well
as any in the valley. They are growing
without irrigation, and are making a
fine growth.
Near the Little White Store is the
William Ehrck homestead Of 100 acres,
there are SO acres in orchard, ten of
which are in bearing, and the farm Is
now producing fine income. The crop
this wear will be about 1000 boxes OF
apples. In addition to orchard there are
50 acres in hay, wheat and oats. About
rs bushels of wheat and 100 bushels of
oats were threshed for seed, the balance
being baled for hay. Water from the
Bone ditch just reached kthis section
late this year, and next year can be used
to double the crop of hay and grain.
L. A. +. Clark is a new conner In the
Odell district, having purchased 10 acres
opposite the Wood homestead. he has
a new house built, and is planting five
acres to apples and about the same to
clover. The balance of the place will
probably be cleared this winter.
John Kroeger has built fine home
on his $50 acre farm, and has acres IN
orchard, 10 In nay anu Al SdTuen IiuCh
and corn. lie is steadily improving the
place and increasing the apple and hay
acreage. Mrs. Kroeger also has 50 acres
which she homesteaded before her mar
riage.
q. E. BoWerman is improving his
farm of so acres, and now has nearly
seven acres in apples and ten acres in
hay.
Going south from the Bowerman
place about mile through the timber
the traveller comes to the fine l6O-acre
farm of Phillip Kollas. Mr.. Kollas is
thrifty German farmer, learning the
business thoroughly in the old country,
and he has genuine German vineyard
and garden in the 20 acres cleared in the
middle of his farm. Sheltered from the
winds, his orchard of eight acres, his
grapes and garden are making fine
growth. A large spring in the upper
bart of his farm supplies him with six
inches of free water, which he has piped
down to the house. Hydrants are locat-
