The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1905-10-12

The Western Coal and Iron company of Port
land Ore, with its principal office in Vancouver
Wash, has acquired four full sections of coal land
1850 acres, situated in the Nicola valley, on Cold
Water river B. c. about $50 miles northeast of Van
couver, B. c., and about 50 miles south from the c.
P. R. main line at Spences bridge and SO miles north
from the boundary line. These $500 acres are est-
mated to contain 2OO,OOo,OOO tons of high-grade BIZ
luminous coal the quality of which has been pro-
nounced by the best coal experts to be superior to
any coal known west of the Mississippi river and IS
unexceled for steam backsmithing and domestic
use and equal to the famous Crows Nest for smelt-
ers coke.

have the decision Of the county court,
sustaining the will. He further tells
us that he has $4,000 to spend in the
case. We conoede him the right of

sounds good to his attorney. As ex-
ecutor of the will, am simply trying
to see that the wishes of his dead

ODELL
AN ENTERTAINMENT
THAT WAS DELIGHTFUL
I,u Roswell Shellav.

by Roswell Shelley,
Odell, East Hood River Valley, Dec.
fa20. The drama rounded up an enter
tainment last Friday evening that was
delightful and instructive, proving
beyond question that 0dell possesses
talent Of high order. The entertain.
ment was prefaced with vocal and in
strumental solos and readings that
brought the house down. Each mum.
!, ber on the program was worthy OF
special mention. After the program
was rendered refreshments were serv-
ed, including coffee aud lemonade.
There was also a candy booth where
home made candies we're sold that
we're delicious. Then there was the
gypsie tent that proved an attraction,
being we'll patronized. Behind closed
tent doors the past was recounted and
the veil of the ture lifted, and while
we did not interview the fortune teller
vet as we watched the crowd emerging
with 2x4 smile on their countenance
we take II for granted they we're salts
fled with what the future holds for
them. The invincible G. J.. Rogers
seemed especially happy and we ex-
pect to hear of him buying another
apple ranch soon. About 20 people
from Pine Grove we're over and those
we talked with congratulated 0dell
upon its series of pleasant and profit
able winter entertainments. We shook
hands with j. b. jackson and wife
and Miss Gleason and others of the
Pine Grove people.
The net proceeds of the evening
was S45 which amount will go towards
purchasing song books and other sup
plies for the Christian endeavor work
We trust that this Is the beginning of
many entertainments, that we, with
all other Oddities will have other op-
portunities to listen to the talent from
behind the footlights. Quite party
from Barrett came over. We almost
forgot to say that among the Barrett
pople we noticed Marsh lsenberg.
Come again.
After several months Of Investigation
by one Of Portland's ablest attorneys,
we have finally succeeded in securing
the insurance due Mrs Crockett, by
n Joint policy Of her and her late hus-
band. The insurance certificate was
issued by the Order Of Lions Of which
Mr.. Crockett was a member About
the time Of his death, this order
merged into the order Of Washington
and 1t was due to the order OF Wash
ington that all the trouble came
about. IL is an outrage that insur-
ance companies should take advantage
of technicalities in an effort to evade
the payment Of an honest claim. The
result was, that Mrs. Crockett was
compelled to employ an attorney to
compel this company to do just what
they agreed to do. Such disreputable
work as this wears the stamp Of dis.
approval by all good citizens and
really should be put out of business
by state law

DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK
That a hotel like the
Mount Hood Hotel

is a big drawing card for a
town the size of Hood River?
That a great many of the
dollars that come into the
town are left here by the
strangers who stop at the
hotel. That every cent we
get hold of is spent with the
merchants in our own town.
They appreciate it. 1t helps
the town. II helps the valley.
They help us. We appreciate
it.
Did you ever stop to think
that the stranger forms his
opinion of the town by the
hotel thepeoplecan support?
That it takes money, and
lots of it, to run a place the
size of the Mt. Hood Hotel?
That a meal taken at the
Mt. Hood helps maintain q
tirst-lass hotel, and gives the
town a good name?
Did you ever stop to think
that you could help the town
in this way; that you would
b helping yourself; that you
would be helping your neigh
Dor; that you would be help
ing us? We will appreciate
it. We will remember it.
Think it over. See if you
can't have a meal with us
once in awhile. Next time
you want to take the early
morning train to Portland,
get a room at the Mt. Hood
hotel. Leave your call for
the train, and nine times out
OF ten you will get from one
to t. two hours more sleep, for
II the train is an hour late.
!. we call you accordingly. You
feel better all day. You en-
Joy your trip better. You do
more business. So do we.
We want your trade. Get
the habit. It's a good one.
Think it over.

Miss Davenport should follow the ex-

Mr. Eecles says the Mount Hood road

modate the Oregon Lumber Co, but
once running, the company realizes
that whatever builds the country also
advances the interest Of their raiload.

we have here in the United States of

all proud of our country. What has
made our country so great in so many
respects? You might think that the
answer to this would be rather
lengthy, and so it might, but can
condense it to single syllable. If
God had not loved this world he would
not have created it; if he had not
loved man he would never have Great
ed him would never have endowed
the soul of man with that divine at
trihute-love. Man could not exist
without love. We are told that to err
is human, but that to forgive is di-
vine. What prompts a man to for
