A pretty but quiet wedding was SOL
emized on Monday, December 25,

BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs. e. e.

To the sweet strains OF Lohengrin's g
wedding march, rendered by Miss
Lota Kelsay at the piano, the happy
couple took their place beneath a
pretty wedding bell, where the i'm
pressive marriage service of the Epis-
eopal ritual was used by the offioiat-
ing minister, Rev. j. l.. Hershner.
Only the immediate relatives and
friends of the family witnessed the
cere moly. The bride was beautifully
attired in a suit of C epe de chine IN,
Mr.. Geo. ]. Slocom was groomsm
with the BRIDES sister, Miss FlC ra

FUNDS READY FOR
WORK ON new DITCH

The bends Of the Hood River Iirri-
cation District have been signed and
sealed aud the money turned over to
the treasurer of the irrigating COM
pany. The amount of the bonds is
$50, 600 and the period of payments
on them is 20 years altogether there
are 1872 bonds will 1882 interest bear
ing coupons, and AGA signatures were
required to make the bonds legally Sc
cure. The accumulated interest on
these securities will, at tie end of 20
years, amount to $50, 1876 90, which
with tie amount of the bonds them.
selves, will aggregate Sll9, 43f.
1t is estimated that If 1000 inches
of water is consumed for the first ten
years that the ditch is in use, at the
rate of IS an inch, the revenue from
it will amount to $50, 600. Ii in the
second ten years as Is estimated, 1860
inches are consumed, the figures will
run up to 800, 600 The total revenue
received in the 20 years covering the
maturity of the bonds will thus be
seen to be $4,000 Figuring the cost
OF the construction of the ditch and
interest at S119, 436. 90 and the revenue
from the waterway at Sl40, 10000, at
the end of 20 years there should be a
surplus left of $40, ,564. "
Ii the estimates above given prove
to be anywhere near correct, the resi-
dents OF the new ditch district will be
very fortunate The formation tf the
land through which it is to be con-
structed is of a very difficult nature
to handle and unforeseen obstacles may
arise that will scale down the surplus
as estim ted The ditch will prove,
however, of such inestimable value to
the di trict when completed that even
il the Of ii mates of its profits ore net
realized it will still be a great boon to
it's users'in that locality.

The election at the Barrett school

Chairman +. G. Sherrieb called the
meeting to order and after few
words of explanation, the meeting
was opened for discussion and after
several good natured speeches, it

A man suggested TO lady, why do
you not send to Cash Jones for sugar
and other goods. Now he little knew
that the lady had tried that business
and knew that she could do just as
we'll by patroniziug the home mer-
chants. Let me say that hny mer-
chant In Hood River will fill cur bills
for Just the same prices as Jones. Re
member we build our own school
house and build our good roads. No
Chicago or Portland men contribute
to our needs and every dollar spent
at home helps to build up our coun-
try. You will feel better by patroniZ-
ing yonr own merchants, and when
you meet them, you will not have to
look over the fence.
Nineteen hundred and five years
ago, the shepherds watching their
fiocks by night, saw the shining star
in the east and led by that, went to
the inn at Bethlehem, there to find
a new born babe, which the proph-
cts had prophesied should be the Saw
iour of the world. History repeats
and we hail with JOY our Christmas
Day, in which we commemorate tbe
birth of him, who was rich, yet for
our sakes became poor that we,
through his poverty, might beeeme
rich. We celebrate and commen crate
the lives of our great warriors and
men of state and renown, and we feel
glad that we live and are protected
under our stars and stripes, but oil
nature rejoices and commentaries
this one day as being the birthday
Of our Christ. Our fathers iejoiced
and we're glad on this day, so 1t Is
banded down from one generation to
another, while we may forget the great
and grand and glorious men who are
laid to rest, yet how strange that the
birth Of Gods only begotten Son Is
ever remembered and our children
look forward to that day as good
cheer. Shall we not take up sthe
strains of music and sing.
Ye nations bend, in reverence bend.
Ye monarchs wait His nod
And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate your God.

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 ut 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. Il 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 a
first-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
bor; 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 two hours more sleep, for
If 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.

CORRESPONDENCE.
ODELL.

Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt Sh ley
speut Christmas in Portland. The
occasion of their trip was to Visit
their son, Hugh, who is confined IN
the Good Samaritan hospital at that
place. Mr.. Shelley's son is railroad
conductor and lives at Independence.
He is receiving treatment at the hos
piEal and is getting along nicely.
Roswell Shelley sold, last week, 40
acres to Dudley Holland, formerly OF
eugene, for "a, 500. The land belong
ed to John Lawless aud the purchaser
secured great bargain.
Last week Mrs. Roswell Shelley
bought Is acres Of the old Divers ee-
tate for 81, 100. The land was sold at
forced sale at the Dalles court house.
Christmas exercises we're held at
the Odell school Saturday and we're a
decided success. A pleasing program
was rendered consisting Of songs, rec
itations and illustrations OF the pu-
pills work In the various branches.
The blackboards we're covered with
figures and designs drawn by the pu-
pills and the talent displayed was OF
no mean order. 1t seemed impossible
almost that some of the work executed
could have been done by children OF
such tender age and the good work
Of the teachers Is to be highly COM
mended.
While in Portland, Mr.. Shelley
made a visit to the Mount Tabor San
itarium in which W. v. johnson ie
confined and found that Mr.. johnson
was about In the same condition as
when taken there. He seemed very
much pleased to see MIR. Shelley, but
was unable to recognize him. II IL
hoped that the treatment may be ben
eiicial to him.
Owing to his enforced absence
from home, Mr.. Shelley was unable
this week to prepare his usual inter
esting letter from 0dell and the Ola,
cier man has taken the liberty OF
transcribing few items Cleaned from
editor manager Of the Little White
Store.
