CORRESPONDENCE.
ODELL.

Looking through the windows as
write the hills beyond Neal creek are
white with snow, while westward
Mount Defiance is hid from view by
a veil of fog and cloud, but the ever
green hills below and the riffs Of
green valley form an enchanting pic
ture, notwithstanding the wind makes
a moving picture of the pines in the
park and sings as if it we're ringing
forth the first notes of the approach
OF winter again. Sometimes the work
ing out of natures plans are strange
aud weird and past our ken; yet
after while we know and knowing we
are satisfied.

We are again compelled to take off
our hat to the Willow Flat correspond
ent and thank him kindly and cordial
ly for his generous and kind words
concerning Odell. There is much that
might be truthfully said about the
community of which Odell is the hub,
but through feeling of modesty on
our part we refrain from enlarging
on this theme, although it is very near
our heart. For this we have often
extended invitations to the Glacier
people to come out and use their
quill, not so much in behalf of Odell,
but In the interest of the valley at
large. We again invite you and be-
speak for you kindly welcome ON
The behalf of the good people here.
