The remains of Miss Sadie Young
were laid to rest last Sunday at l
O'Clock at Idlewilde cemetery. Sadie
was the eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. b. II. Young, of Odell, but now
at Santa Barbara, Cal, where they
went last fall in the hope that a
change of climate would afford relief
to her. Her illness extended through
many months, most of the time last
summer she being in the Mount Tabor
sanitarium. Her death occurred at
SauCa barbara, Sunday, the 5th in
staut, and her body arrived last FRI
day at Hood River, accompanied by
her brother Wallace Young. Relatives
and kind friends looked after the fun
eral arrangements. A beautiful and
fitting floral tribute was furnished by
her schoolmates, and young friends
of Odell
Sadie was a beautiful character and
the family share in the fullest measure
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community in this their hour Of sor-
row.
From Friday until Sunday the body
lay at the undertaking parlors Of S. II.
Batmess The funeral services we're
held at the M. L. church and were
conducted by M. ID. Odell assisted
by the pastor, Rev. Evans. Sadie
was 15 years old on November 30,
last, and had spent most Of her life at
Odell. and we note one sad feature
to-wit: The absence of her parents
at the funeral 1t being impractica-
bio for them to come with the remains.
The below zero weather few days
ago brought into requisition the old
Pine knots around the woodshed
These cold waves do not come often,
nor stay long when they do come,
but serve as a reminder that prepara-
tion should be made for the protec-
tion Of things that will freeze, and at
the same time cause the blood to cir
culate freely Last Saturday the
writer walked from town and really
enjoyed the crisp air. That sort of
physical culture is the best medicine
We can take.
Poor old Dalles City Recent Wis
its there cOnyinces the most skeptical
mind Of the necessity of keeping
Hood River at home by killing the
Cascade county bill. The Dalles to-
day is not as good town from bust
ness stand point as it was 30 years
ago. Perhaps they should have our
sympahy rather than criticism.
Roswell Shelley was duly appointed
executor of the estate of j. w. Black,
deceased on the 10th instant, legal
notice of which will be found in an
Other column of this issue of the Gla-
ci6r.
Ii. NJ Poole, who went to The
Dalles the early part of the week, re-
turned overland last Saturday. The |
cold weather seemed to have no bad
effect upon him. lie was as spry as
young man on his return.
Sam and Walter Silliman are at
Camp No. of the Oregon Lumber
company. Sam informs us that there
are rs men engaged there now, and 1t |
is the supposition that large force
will be there during the coming sea-
son. The pay roll Of the valley is in
creasing and there isn't such thing
here as enforced idleness in working
weather.
Now that the question of building a
railroad up the valley Is settled, the
next question Is, Which side of the
river will it followG 1t would seem
that IL the directors we're familiar
with the resources of the valley, that |
there would not be a shadow of doubt
as TO its covering the East Side of the
valley, But then the question of the
right of way is an important one to
the builders. And this might have
something to do with the present
plans Of the promoters. The East
Side and Willow Fiat would surely be
largely benenttod by loop around |
our valley, and from this point of view
the land owners and shippers along
the proposed route could well afford |
TO interest themselves in this right of
way matter. The owner of small
tract of land in Hood River valley,
could of course be damaged by reason
OF "A railroad cutting 1t in two, while
his neighbor, whose land it did not
touch, could receive the same benefit
OF the man who had the road through
his place and none of the damages of
a right of way, Following up this
thought should the route hinge upon
a question of right of way? Then
would come the question of equailza-
tion of damages, A railroad that Is
