The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-04-06

from Percy Shelley. He got three
head for the low price of two, there
being young colt in the deal. Mr.,
Clark is judge of horses and has
made no mistake. He knows colts
tooth from that of an old horse.
Referring to the Glaciers item in
the last issue relative to the German
who once conducted distillery which
gave the creek the name of Whisky
creek, we beg to state that it was our
pleasure to meet what you termed as
the old German, and here are his
words "while that article was in the
press was walking the streets of
Hood River" Then he continues in
this vein: "You tell the Glacier
that am back again and dot ! look
for locate in, and dot | thinkEI locate
at-What do you call this corner? |
think locate at Odell. "
But the name of Odell creek will
not be changed. "Talk about the
devil and he is sure to appear. BY
the way John Schletzel is not an old
man, but very nice looking gentle
man, and he says he is not 80 old but
that he has teeth.
The subscription paper for the pur-
pose of advertising the valley is meet
ing with favor here at Odell. The peo
pie are not subscribing very large
sums, but they manifest lively in
terest in the matter and seem to want
to have hand in it. This is not only
a very worthy matter, but has been
taken up by the Hood River Com
mercial club at very opportune time.
Never in the history Of Hood River
valley or tho state at large was there
such a splendid opportunity to adver-
tise our valley and its resources with so
small an outlay The future effect up
on the state and section will prove
far reaching In its results. Nothing
pays better Push 1t along.
Mr.. Smith, who is running the Gar
babe ranch on Willow Flat, informs
US that he got valuaple horse cut in
barb wire fence. There should be a
state law against the erection Of a
barbwire fence. More accidents
happen to horses from this source
than all others and the majority of all
the horses In the valley are SCARED.
Rev. Troy Shelley, after several
months absence from home,
preached last Sunday at II a. m. to a
large audience on the following text ::
"The wages Of sin is death. " He
was earnest and forceful. While the
text refers to spiritual death, yet he
applied 1t to the physical side of life
also. One thought especially i'm
pressed us, to-wit: "Hhat the wages
we're always paid, and that, too, with
out check ON the bank; that the
devil was faithful paymaster; that
life wrecked by sin could no more
recoup his spiritual stock than could
the old man on the brink of the grave
regain his fortune after having
amassed large sum of this world Is
goods and losing the same through
some financial crisis
1t is a pleasure indeed to take a
look through the country during
these balmy days Of spring. Last
Sunday afternoon wife and ! made a
trip through the Willow Flat district,
noting substantial improvements since
our last trip there. We intended call
ing upon and swapping yarns with
your correspondent there, but he was
out, no doubt rustling news notes, so
we're compelled to forego the pleasure
As your paper is ably represented
there we will not enter into any de-
tailed account concerning our i'm
pressions of the drive, but desire to
say In general way that in the last
three years, development work up
there equals, II not exceeds any sim
liar area of territory In the valley of
Hood River. The Investments are OF
substantial character as we'll az
made upon a large scale, and in a
very rapid manner. Many accom-
plishes results quickly, and there Is
no spot in all the valley that attests
this fact more clearly than does the
Willow Flat country.
@. r. Bone and wife are comfort
ably quartered in their summer
house aud received us cordially. Mr.,
Bone IL the moving spirit behind
many developments present and
future, and is capable Of going into
details concerning anything in which
no has an interest. | took straw
berry lesson from him last Sunday
land / wouldn't like for him to hear
it, but really | don't believe he is the
man behind the hoe.
With three railroad camps along the
line something must be doing. Grade
stakes we're being set through Cop
Henrich's place last Saturday.

location with my notes this week, it
