LIGHTNING, THUNDER
AND HAIL AT VIENTO

Viento, Or, May 80. This place was
visited Monday afternoon by one OF the
hardest thunderstorms witnessed here
in years. The storm was of short dura-
ton, but WIS furious while it lasted.
There were fierce flashes of forked
lightning, and heavy cans OF thunder.
Rain ltll III turreHts, H. ii poured from
the clouds. There was also consider
able hail. No damage resulted.
Mr.. Chitty has been IN the sick list
but is able to be out again.
S. w. Curran, and party spent Satur-
day in Hood River, and we think from
the looks OF the hounds he brought
home that he is contemplating another
trip to the mountains. We wish him
better success this trip.
We miss our old friends from Viento
very much, and the vacant houses look
so lonely We hope they may soon be
filled with good, lively families, to help
US to make life pleasant.
Our school commenced Monday, after
a short vacation on account of the ina
bility to secure a teacher as soon as ex-
pected to fill the place of Miss Ida
Wright, who had to leave to assist her
father in overseeing their large straw
berry crop.
As we write we do not forget that this
is the day in which we should all try to
spend at least few hours in caring for
our beloved dead by beautifying their
graves. We think of the distant, lonely
graves, and wonder if some one will
reverently place flower there.
E. d. Harvey now runs the planer.
With hat off and sleeves rolled up he
looks as though he meant business.
Cutting hay will soon be in order,
which means busy time for the farm
ars

Notably among these are the follow
ing: Mr.. Dumas, who has built a
modern house and substantial barn,
and leased the old improvements and
land to V. V. Willis. Mr.. Rush, who
has part of the Fredenberg place,
has shown his faith in that section
by clearing, improving and planting
to trees and berries quite tract.
He has made wonderful improve
ment in the appearance of the place
since moving there DR.. Shaw, with
his log cottage, with shingle gables
and dormer windows, and fine
young orchard, which is planted to
berries, has one of the incest places
along the line. The premises are neat
and we'll kept, while the plan of the
house is novel and picturesque. DR..
Shaw's enterprise is worthy of i'm
itation. Mr.. Larwood has cleared
the timber in front of his house,
which looks coy and homelike.
With an electric line looping the
valley and covering the Mount Hood
country, that portion of the valley
will develop rapidly and land will
double in value. Hood River valley
is surely destined to be a valley Of
independent homes that will soon bo
the envy of all the northwest. And
whyH Because the quality of its pro
ducts justify it.
We found the roads smooth and
nice all the way to the bridge, which
Is the result of good work on the part
of road supervisor, Jake Lenz. The
work done last year tells now, for it
did not require the work this season
that was done last year. A good road
supervisor should be retaind in
definitely, for good roads are good
advertiser for any community.
Last week the score of to IL in
favor of the Bulldogs, as published
In the Glacier, should have read 10
to II. Please give Odel 8 more.
They need them this season.
The Odell brothers, r. S. Shelley
and William and Dane Kemp are all
at work for the Dead Point Develop
ment Co. A large spring is being
tapped there that will lead water over
quite an area of good land, which will
be reclaimed and prove valuable.
Strawberry picking about Odell is
just beginning, and by the end of the
week this section and Willow Flat
will be alive with pickers. The pros
pect for quality of the berry was new
or better.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
MAKES PRICE OF HAY

Willow Flat, East Hood River valley,
May 30. There seems to be rising
demand for a creamery here because it
has been asserted that 400 tons of clo-
YER hay will be carried over to another
season. Estimating l3 bales to the ton
we have 800 bales, or at liberal esti-
mate we might say about one bale for
each head of cattle and horses in the
valley. So why all this unnecessary
noise about so small matter!
We have been Informed that there
has been over 400 tons OF hay shipped
into the valley In the face of the fact
that our farmers still have 400 tons on
hand. The only reason that we can
see for this hay being carried over, is
the failure by the farmers to appreci-
ate the fact, other things being equal,
that the price of such things is regu-
lated by the law of supply and de-
mand.
Dame Rumor is the authority for
the statement that the Hood River
Orchard Co. have disposed of 20 acres
of their new orchard for $500 per acre.
If this be true, the promoters of the
company have realized from 40 to IS
per cent profit In nine months on their
Investment, or about 5to 10 per cent
month. There tssurely no part of
Hood River that offers such induce
ments to investors as Willow Flat
The last issue of the Glacier reported
that 9. M. Busey of Odell had sold
part of his ranch at Sl75 an acre, and
had also reserved this seasons crop.
Odell is all right, put when its clay
lands command such prices, there is
no just cause why the land in the Flat
other things being equal, should not
command $500 to $3.50 per acre. If
you are from Missouri, come up and
be shown.
The Hood River Orchard Co. are
rushing the work of clearing the
balance of their land l60-acre tract,
in order to have it ready for trees
next spring
j. II. Shoemaker informs us that
they expect to have a survey on the
ground June 6, to establish the route
of the irrigation ditch for their newly
organized district. Those people are
to be congratulated on their success
thus far, and for their determination
to own and control their own irrigat
ing system. They certainly have
solved the water question in the most
practical manner possible.
The East Fork Irrigating Co. have
been experiencing considerable trouble
by the depredations of the gophers
along the ditch banks. A number of
breaks have recently occurred, but so
far we as have learned no serious dam
age has yet resulted.

SEES IMPROVEMENTS
IN UPPER VALLEY

BY Roswell Shelley.
Odell. East Hood River Valley, May
30-The mecca of our last observation
trip through the country WAS the
Mount Hood bridge, on the Cloud
Cap Inn road. The day was an ideal
one. All Nature, closed with fresh
ness and beauty, extended her glad
hand.
Lunch over, we seated ourselves
upon the green grass-plot beneath
spreading oaks and lulled by the
music of the restless river, together
with the noise of the faithful horse
as he bit the tender blades of grass,
or switch the flies, we quite forgot
ourselves for the moment, and as we
peered above us through the green
ieafy trees into the matchless sky
above, the dreamland thought came
to us. But the reality is good enough.
We are glad it is not a dream.
The fragrance of the flowers and
the ripping of the water Is like the
laughter of children, and we wander
back through memory's lane to the
dear old haunts of childhood. Oh |
those precious days that we're free
from Rullb, WubH lho was Oho klhu
song. While those days will never
come back to us, yet It's comforting
to know that some hearts never grow
old, and although the hair is grey and
the step becomes feeble, yet il we do
not resits it, there will always be a
responsive chord in the heart that is
touched and quickened by these
tempting baths in nature, that If
followed leads us into the mysteries Of
the forest and away from the things
that so vex and annoy us In the thick
est of the battle of life. Applying
this to life, may we not finally march
valiantly across the battle field of life
and then reach the plain of victory?
Almost year had elapsed since we
had been in the Mount Hood section,
and in many places along the road
we note substantial improvements, as
well as the development of land.

livered to the Chas. Davis place.
We are busy getting ready to enter

Most everybody about here Is. }. NJ.
Mcdonald tells me he is looking for
friends from the East, and in order
to show them the valley has bought a
set Of harness, rented a hack and will
make business of entertaining while
their friends are here. Let all of us
do likewise, and the valley will be
more thoroughly advertised this sea-
son.
Archie Anderson held the ribbons
on the Odell Bros. heavy weight team
Sunday afternoon and drove down
from Dead Point to Odell in one
hour. Archie has the fast driving
record and he wears the bonors grace
fully.
The Odell boys are up to date. They
attend the town theaters; eat II
O'Clock oyster suppers, and get home
in time to work next day.
Horse trading is again in order.
Last week John Kroeger, Jas. English
and j. w. Mcdonald were all doing
business along that line. The railroad
graders furnished the horses to start
the ball rolling, and Bob Robinson
interested Mcdonald in the business.
There is nothing like the horse trad
ing business, for valiably each
fellow makes money.
Harry Kemp. the village bla C k
smith, and expert trout catcher,
in company with o. M. Dewitt
an I'd family, spent last Saturday
ON the river about the falls, en-
tertaining the finny tribe. Mr.. De-
Witt resides on the hill east of Mill
creek. He is an ex-soldier, having
been in the Philadelphia service. They
enjoyed the day immensely. This
was the initial trip of many pleas
ant outing during the season.
W. W. jackson, who recently pur-
chased 80 acres of land from Harry
Kemp, was up from Portland Sunday
and made arrangements to have lot
of slashing done. His people, who live
in Michigan, are coming over this fall
to take up their residence on this
place. And still they come.

Glare Crocket left last Saturday
for Shanico. He will probably spend
the summer there.
The real estate department of the
Little White Store offers one OF the
best bargains in the valley on an 80
acre tract of land eleven miles out,
abutting on the Mount Hood road.
1t has 800 trees, part bearing this sea
son: fine meadow and good improve
ments. Part of the land is under the
ditch Small cash payment; balance
easy terms. 1t will actually pay you
to fall down over some one to get
to this bargain first.
C. Il. Bone is a busy man these
days. He seems to hold the key to
the situation on the East side, for
when he presses the button that turns
on the water the land produces.
Last Sunday being pleasant brought
many people on the pike, going to and
returning from the fails and up and
down the Mount Hood road. The
fine condition of the roads at present
is an inducement for people to take a
drive.
DR.. johnson, an old friend of Dan
Smith, is here from Illinois. He is
much pleased with our valley and in
tends buying land for his son, who
will move out here. In this vicinity
land is cheap compared with the
land more fayorably situated near
town. There is plenty of good apple
land south and west of Odell which
can be bought for S25 and up, and
not far from Odell, the hub of East
Hood River valley.
1t will pay strangers to look this
way before purchasing
The systematic and thorough devel.
opment work at Willow Flat during

DUKES VALLEY.

| berry picking commenced here Mon
day, the warm days of last week ripen-
ing the berries very fast. The berries
that go into the market from this part
of the valley will be first class and
surely ought to command good price
as we have seen no finer berries in
Hood River valley.
Some fields of clover are commenc-
ing to bloom and ere long we will hear
the rattle of the moving machine and
hay harvest will be ON our hands
again. There will be larger acreage
of hay cut this year in Dukes valley
than ever before. There are still a
good many tons of last year. hay to
DO disposed Of yet. Three years ago
there was not enough hay raised in
the valley to winter good span of
horses but now we can supply hay for
stock outside of our own valley.
A. I. Dodge has rented the William
Sears place, and put it mostly into
hay.
