Sat Churches. -

The two COMMITTEES appointed
By the last conference Of the
NJ. h. and South Methodist
churches to secure the adjust
ment Of the work of the two
churches. have completed their
joint sessions. They recon
mend that where there are
churches Of two denominations
in one place. and one is in poor
condition, the two should unite.
Such recommendations were
made for the following places:
Mexico, Kingston, Bellefiower,
Cameron, and South St. Joseph.
These recommendations were
forwarded to Bishops Mellow
ell and Hendrix. The joint com
mittee has jurisdiction over all
territory north of the Missouri
river in this state. 1t adjourned
to meet in August at Macon,
when recommendations for con
dations at a number Of points are
expected to be made.
Some of this kind Of good work
could be done to great advantage
right here in Rich Hill.

Last Thursday night four
horses and one buggy disappear
ed from Rich, Hill and vicinity
and nothing has been heard of
them since. The horses We're
not first class but such as one
usually sees in the wake Of tray-
cling horsetraders. They are not
such horses as bring large prices
in market but they answer the
purpose of their owners and to
them are valuable, hence the loss
of them puts the owner to great
inconvenience and virtually puts
them out of business. The horses
are supposed to have gone with
some traders who recently pass
ed through this neighborhood.
The Germans have a study in
some Of their schools which they
call Heimathskunde" the
study Of home. Pupils are in
structed minutely in the knowl-
edge of their immediate environ
ment. They learn not merely
the names and characteristics of
of the mountains that surround
their native place and the streams
that flow through il, but they
study resources and industries
of the locality, the city's streets,
parks, museums, art galleries,
water works, garbage plant, fire
department, etc. 1t is a study
that should make them more en-
lightened citizens.

showed us through his 5-acre orchard.
Most Of the orchard was already
picked but the Detroit reds and some
of the Spitz we're hanging full Of the
red apples that 90 to make up the
golden harvest, ard were pictures of

Years ago Mr.. D. backed his faith in

opportunity. Chris knows a good
thing when he sees it, and moving
makes the best of opportunities, and
that's what counts. We don't envy
Mr.. and Mrs Dethman their charming
country home but commend them for
their good judgement in building such
home in the very heart of the best
apple belt in the world, where during
their declining years they will be
crowned with every comfort that this
world can give.
As we drove briskly home amid the
crisp autumn air with apple orchards
and the bright tinted autumn leaves
skrting the roadside, and the flicker
ing rays of the setting sun gliding the
snow crowned summit of Mount
Hood, our thoughts ran swifter tLan
did our faithful old Altamont and

we were thankful that fate led us to
hitching post in the far famed Hood
River valley.
Parties desiring winter quarters for
horses can arran % with K. d. Shelley
of the Little White Store for good
pasture and plenty of straw guaran-
teed. Horses will be taken and re-
turned In the spring at reasonable

One hundred dollars was quickly
raised at Odell last Sunday evening
to relieve a family who are i'll and in
trouble several hundred miles distant.
These people we're formerly our neigh
boIs and friends. Odell is no excep-
tion in that it responds promptly and
generously to the touch Of sympathy,
when help is required. This Incl.
dent litly illustrates the Roosevelt
idea of politics and religion, towit
"That performance is better than
profession. The Christian Endeavor
of Odell is entitled to the credit of
this genuine Christian act Of kindness.
Several teams voluntarily went upon
the road last Monday to place grav-
el bed on the Davidson Hill. 1t be-

back on our more enterprising neigh.
bors Of the Pine Grove district, and
travel road that we had no interest
in making. One half the work put
upon the west side road that these
wide awake people have spent upon
theirs would give US a better road
than they have. We trust this good
work will be crowded to completion
for whenever we become truly in
earnest in this road work and are
willing to make the sacrifice in the
way Of work we will get good roads.
The latest Improvement at Odell Is
Il meat market being built by Mr..
Warrens. Our want list is a long one,
but as things grayitate to the
hub, we expect other things will fol,

here will prove an impetus to further
developments that are surely in store

WANTS TO TAKE
ALL THE PRIZES

1t is A. |. Mason's ambition that
E0od River capture every one of the
httutiful cups offered by the Port
l4nd commission men for the best
display of individual varieties at the
January meeting of the Oregon Horti-
cultural society. 70 start the ball roll
ing, Mr.. Mason has box of New
towns, 45 of which completely fill the
box, with a commercial pack. He
also has some select Spitzenbergs.
There isn't a variety there, includ-
ing the Winesaps, in which I'VE can
not excel, " says Mr.. Mason, who
wants his neighbors to join in the
contest for all the prizes.
Mason has just finished packing
his apple crop, and has 33l boxes
which have been sold for $40. The
large majority of Mason's apples this
year went so to the box. While the
crop was light the quality was never
better.
Mr.. Mason used the arsenate lead
spray, and has had less than . ID per
cent of wormy apples.

They aim to visit only towns here
there are no railroads as the license is
not so high and attendance generally
better. They will travel altogether
by wagon. We wish them all kinds of
success.
Chas. Stanton who owns piece Of
rough but fertile Land in the south
end of Dukes Valley, took a couple Ct
Baldwin apples that grew on four
year old tree down to the fair. Mr..
Stanton says he looked over all tae
fruit exhibits but saw no Baldwin ap-
pies that came up with his in either
) re, shape or color. Mr.. Stanton is
very enthusiastic over the future pros
poets of the hill land surrounding
Dukes valley as an apple producing
section.
1t appears that the fair did not
agree with several who attened f ON
here as they came home sick or with
bad colds and some have not got over
their fair yet. But they all say they

spent and would take the trip again if

The Development League of Mount
Hood is up and coming. At a recent
meeting it was decided to establish
permanent exhibit of fruit. grasses
and vegetables from the Mount Hood
valley at some prominent place on
Oak street in Hood River.
With the large number of Eastern
people arriving daily to look for fruit
lands, the enterprising Mount Hood
people propose to take their light
from nnder the bushel and let all
know that good land is plentiful and
reasonably cheap in the Mount Hood
valley, the best dairying section of
Oregon, and country where winter

A cutting scrape at Viento last
Wednesday, resulted in Foreman De
Hart receiving deep slash across the
nose. A man named Hart did the
cutting. Hart 1t seems was securing
some wood from the lumber yard.
and DeHart sought to restrain him or
make him pay for the same. Words
led to blows until knives we're drawn
and blood began to flow.
There is dilferent evidence as to
which of the two men is really to
Glame for the rumpus. Deputy Sheriff
Olinger went to the scene of the frav
the next morning, but Hart had taken
to the woods with Winchester.
Later reports state that he has gone
to The DalIes with the intention of
giving himself up to the authorities.
DeHart's wound is not serious, but
will leave an ugly scar.

ODELL
PROPOSE TO BOND
FOR WATER SYSTEM

Odell, East Hood River Valley,
Oct. II. There was a public meeting
last Saturday evening at the odd Eel
lows hall at Odell that was well at
tended. The object Of the meeting
was to discuss the water question.
1t proved an enthusiastic meeting
and the sentiment was unanimous in
favor of securing water for irrigating
purposes. 1t is fact well understood
that the lack of water for irrigating
tho Odell District has and is retarding
the progress Of this section. For two
years we have had promise Of water
which has failed to mateTialiZe. This
fact has aroused the people aud they
are in dead earnest in the matter and
intend to have water at the earliest
possible moment at any reasonable
cost, and when the people are thor,
oughly reused and conclude to settle
questions they usually settle them
right.
A committee of three, consisting
of Frank Strong, Thos. Lacy and
John Kroeger was appointed to inves-
tigate the matter looking toward the
bonding of district lying adjacent and
west of Odell. A report from this
committee will be heard at "A meeting

purchased 20 acres from Alfred Wood,
arrived at Odell last week and has
already lumber on the ground for

Minnesota and after looking the viii.

in Hood River. Mr.. Olesen is min
lister in the Lutheran church and will
no doubt prove II valuable acquisition
to our neighborhood.

over the Neil creek way. calling first
at the home of Henry Avrey and wife

we went to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Thos. Avery, whore we spent very
pleasant hour. Mr.. and Mrs. Avery
received us in most cordial manner,
and this being our first call upon them
in their modern, comfortable cottage,
they kindly showed us through from
cellar to garret. Their house is well
appointed throughout and complete
in every detail. BY means of small
hot air engine 500 gallon tank is
filed in two houses, which furnishes
hot and cold water through the house
enabling them to have the luxury of

buildings are complete and well kept
and the general appearance of things
about the premises showed thrift, on
