mon to listen to soft worGs as we stand
beside the bier of our friends, but no
words can unmake or undo the life
work of our friends. The record is
made, he die is cast when deaths cold
hand relentlessly drags our loved ones
forth into that strange land beyond
the mystic river.
We have said before and now repeat
to die is nothing compared with the
responsibility of living Alright. Pro
fessions count for little. 1t is the life
work that tells here and hereafter. So,
in the language of some famous auth
or:
$50 live that when the summons
come to join the innumerable cara.
van that marches to the pale realms of
death; thou go not like the quarry
slave at night, sCourged to his dun
geon, but with a pure, unfaltering
trust approach thy grave like one who
quietly wraps the drapery Of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
Mr. Crockett's life was such as to
insure him the full realization of all
that is meant in the above paragraph,
and his bereaved family should take
comfort in this thought. Words are
empty when crepe hangs upon the
door. But the family can rest assured
they have the sympathy of the COM
munity.
II. 9. Crockett was born July l6,
1854, being 80 years old at the time of
his death. He leaves behind him
wife and seven children, two sons and
five daughters, living, besides little
Kenneth, who died last winter and who
sleeps beside his father in Idlewilde
cemetery. The funeral services we're
conducted by M. d. Odell, assisted by
Rev. Troy Shelley. The services we're
largely attended and the remains we're
followed by large concourse of friends
who watched his body placed beneath
sod to remain until the final roll call.
Will Have High School.
At the annual school meeting at
Odell last Monday l.. A. Il. Clark was
elected as director for three years,
succeeding Chas. Davis, and M. d.
Odell was elected clerk, succeeding
himself. At the same meeting, which
was well attended, the directors we're
instructed to borrow money and build
an additional room to meet the grow
ing demands of the district. 1t was
also decided to establish the 9th and
10th grades, and to arrange with M.
d. Odell for spring water and pipe the
same distan of a mile to the school
house.
This is a sanitary improvement and
is much needed. With three or four
room house and three competent teach
ers, and the children furnished with
pure spring water, who will say again
that Odell is behind the times? With
these needed improvements and the
establishing of the niger grades, Odell
will at once take front rank among the
schools of the valley, and the progress
sive spirit that is now abroad in our
community will keep her there. The
patrons of the school are to be congrat-
ulated upon the spirit of enterprise
pervading the meeting. At meeting
of the directors ON the same date j.
II. Crosby was appointed as director
to fill the vacancy Occasioned by the
death of Ii. C.. Crockett.

John Hicks was looking for band

berries. Suppose he got them, as we
saw several headed that way.
j. II. Shoemaker and f. 9. Sherriet
are very busy men nova days, climb
ing the mountains and helping the
surveying party on the new ditch sur
vey. They cannot do enough, so they
borrowed field glass to help them see
more and better.
George Stranahan has often headed
for his strawberry patch. George says
it is easier to walk up hill than ride a
wheel, so he leaves it in the shade at
Rockford.
j. P. Barrett and family spent a
few days camping out last week. j.
P. looks fresh and trim from the eff
feCts of the mountain air, which is

Under our square-deal administra-
tiOn, the government has been un-
earthing postal frauds and land frauds
and now its representatives are earn
estly engaged in digging up road
frauds, and some Of us poor fellows

government short days work had bet
ter stand from under, lest we find our
selves like tine story our Missouri
friend told of the condition of the
Russian general "In statu quo"
All honor Is due to these capable
men who represent the government
and country in this good roads deal
Let us give them the glad hand, and
let us hope and expect that the good
seed sown last Saturday at the mass
meeting will spring up and grow into
a harvest of good roads, not only to
the valley of Hood River, but to the
state at large. Then when our valley
Is full of good roads and all the young
orchards full of good apples, there will
follow carloads of good people falling
down over each other to get the first
privilege of buying choice bit Of
land upon which to locate for life,
Then will the millennium come for
Hood River valley.
Mr.. Eggart, father of Jas. Eggart,
arrived at Odell last Friday to spend
the summer with his son. Mr.. Egg
gart's home is in Kansas and this is
his first trip to Oregon. He is far
mer, and Is therefore capable of judg-
ing the conditions along that line.
He is pleased with this section. He
will visit the fair and also tour the
state of Washington before returning
home. His brother, F. Eggert, of Egg
germont, Is also here, at his summer
home and last Monday met his brother
for the first time in years. i. Eg-
gert's summer home here is perhaps
the very incest one in all the valley,
and truly an inviting spot for busy
man like Mr.. Eggert, whose nerves
and body are taxed to the limit in
conducting his large and growing bus
mess in Portland. Mr.. Eggert spends
about half his time here during the
summer months.

were satisfactory and the growers are
smiling.

Mr.. Russell was charmed with our val
ley and expressed much surprise at
the high state of cultivation of our
architecture in onr homes. The party
was on their way to the Portland fair.
The Barrett boys were over to Odell
last Saturday and met another defeat
at the hands of Odell's base ball nine.
The score at the end of 5 innings
stood in favor Of Odell.
Last Wednesday Frank Nef, Ulva
Collins and Harry Kemp went to Lost
Lake, which was the first trip of the
season. Messrs. Nef and Collins went
to secure some views of lake and
mountain to add to their already large
collection. They report fine trip,
catching what fish they needed for
camp, and obtaining some good pic
lures.
Death Of H. G. Gro kett.
Travel the wide world over and
everywhere in the midst of life you
find death. Were this not true of the
vegetable kingdom we could not live
at all.
Again it is our sad duty to record
the death of an hOnored and respected
citizen. II. G. Crockett, the subject
Of this sketch, departed this life on
last Wednesday, the l4th inst, and
was laid away in Idlewilde on the fol
lowing afternoon.
1t is often a hard task to record
faithfully the life work of our fellows
after they have gone from us. To our
mind the strongest evidence Of the
truth of the old Bible lies in the fact
that the Bible historian records the
bad along with the good concerning
the lives of those in olden times, while
the modern historians are inclined to
draw the veil of charity over the faults
and frailities when our friends are
laid to rest In Mr.. Crockett's case
there was only one side to his life.
1t was an open book nothing con
cealed, nothing secret. His going forth
from this world was without an enemy
in this noighborhood. He was kind,
indulgent father, a faithful husband.
He was honest, progressive and shared
in fullest measure the respect and con
fldence of his fellows. What more
could be- said? He leaves a monument
that will endure in the hearts of his
friends and loved ones longer than the
tallest marble shaft that could be
placed at his grave. 1t is not uncom
