The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-02-16

At late hour the guests departed,
with unanimous expressions of the
good time all had enjoyed and wish
ing for many more evenings as pleas
ant with their hosts and hostesses. A
few were present from Mount Hood
and Odell.
Arthur Davidson is excavating the
basement under his commodious barn.
Mr.. Davidson is well aware of the ad-
yantages accruing from having plenty
of room under roof for animals as
well as implements.
Friday morning we awoke to find
ourselves in the throes of regular
blizzard, like the ones you read about
back East. The kind that demoral-
ICES traffic and breaks up telephone
and telegraph communications Fri
day night the mercury started down
the thermometers and by Saturday
morning it was found lodged all the
way from two to Is degrees below, ac-
cording to location. j. O.Cameron re-
ported 10 below; j. P. Hillstrom, Is
below; 2. M. Redmon, zero.
Owing to the cold weather Saturday
night there was very poor attend
aDce at the literary. However very
good program was rendered. Much
of the success of the evening was
due to the glee club which rendered
two very good selections which
brought down the house.
The question box contained many
excellent questions. There we're sever
al in the mental arithmetic which
created considerable amusement. j.
o. Cameron told why he considered
Dukes valley a more beautiful place
than the Willow Flat.
Next Saturday night is election
night and full attendance is desired.
The glee club will furnish several
songs, besides one or two dialogues
that are also on the program.
There has been a great deal of com
plant from patrons of the Mount
Hood telephone line on account of
the poor service. The last five days
at least the line has been broken and
lying on the ground just north of
John Lawless' house. When patrons
are expected to keep their phone rent
up, they surely have right to ex
pect and to demand reasonable
service, 1t begins to look as If these
patrons desire competent service, it
would be necessary for them to pool
their old baling wire and put up their
own line. Such line could not give
poorer service than they now receive.
Besides they would have the consola-
tion if it didn't work that the line was
their own.
f. A. Massee and d. l.. Davidson
and their wives took dinner with Mr..
and Mrs. z. M. Redmon, last Sunday,
the occasion was in honor of Mrs.
Redmon's and her sons birthday,
both of which occurred on the same
day. The dinner was one fit for
kings banquet, and to say that all did
ample justice to it is the hest evidence
we can give to support Mrs. RS ability
in the culinery line. After most
enjoyable day the guests departed
wishing Mrs. Redmon and her son
many more returns of the day as
pleasant as this.
We have often heard it said that
there we're tricks in all trades. A
recent trip by where c. r. Bones
Japs have been cutting and piling
wood has convinced us that the Japs
are clever imitators of their white
educators.
b. f. Belieu tells us that he would
like to rent his ranch to some one,
good reliable man for term of
years, with the provision that the
tenant do a certain amount of grub
bing and clearing each year. Mr..
Belieu has 20 acres of the celebrated
Willow Flat apple land, set out. This
would surely be good opportunity
for the right man.
Dennis Dodson expects to move
from the G. d. Boardman place to
the planer this week. Later he will
move on ranch in the lower part of
the valley.
