DUKES VALLEY.

We are having some winter here
now. About five inches of snow fell
Friday night and Saturday morning.
A few we're out in their sleighs on
Saturday and Sunday, but the mud
and slush under the snow made it i'm
possible to enjoy sleigh riding. We
called it sleigh riding just the same.
@. r. Bone shut down his saw mill
fol the season last Friday.
j. P. Thompson will have force of
men at work next week cutting saw
logs for his spring work. He expects
to start his saw mill here as soon as
spring opens up and he wants logs
enough on hand to keep all hands
busy for the summer.
Grubbing machines will be idle now
until the snow leaves. The bod Ze
Bros. have received a contract of
grubbing out about 100 pine trees
for the Little White store people at
Odell.
q. Busey was in our town last week
canvassing for our rural mail carrier.
Mr.. Busey reports that all in the val.
ley came up with the big dollar, ex-
cept one family and that family re-
ceives as much or more mail than any
one in the valley. We have had better
mail service in the last year than we
have had since the route was estab-
lished and any one who would be-
grudge dollar to he'll the carrier
out, ought to have to go to town for
their mail about one winter. Then
they would learn the value of our free
mail delivery. What does a dollar a
year amount to compared with going
without our mail half of the time or
going through mud and slush four or
five miles to get our mail? Any one
who has lived in Hood River valley
more than one year knows that the
mail cannot be carried for what the
government pays and those who have
boxes and secure mail ought to be
willing to help keep the service up.
A few Dukesvalleyites held watch
meeting at Joseph Knox's, on New
Years eve. La nch and coffee was
served and all enjoyed pleasant ev-
ening.
Those who attended the dance given
by the Baldwin club at Mount Hood
hall, report good time and the best
supper ever tasted at a dance. The
ladies of Mount Hood surely know
now to make good cake and coffee.

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. 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 the peoplecan 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
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

train to Portland.

teachers of the Odell school have all
been absent. Mr.. Ennis with bis
family has been In Portland; Miss
Thompson at her home at The Dalles,
and Miss Davenport at Mosier. They
have all returned and are again In
the harness.
j. L. Tousey, one of Portland's
teachers, spent his vacation on his
ranch near Odell.
Chas. Roberts, Jr., who is student
in O. A. @. at Corvallis, spent the
holidays with his parents, Mr., and
Mrs. G q. Roberts, of Tanglewood,
near "Winans City" Charley while
here landed an eight pound salmon
from turbulent Hood river. This feat
was accomplished in one hours time,
when the big fish had grown weary
struggling for liberty. Charley did
this with hook and line and should be
Justly proud of his accomplishment.
Charley Is an expert angler and there
are o lot Of Oddities that would like
to know how it was done. Charley
says its easy, but the secret he keeps.
Otto Ehrck says he is lonely since
his brother VIII got married and left.
Well, Otto, we know young lady
who says she don't care If Billy is
married so long as you are left.
Last Friday evening after the musi-
Gale and literary program was oFer
there was an old fashioned spelling
class chosen, and the result was that
Mrs. II. Il. Calison beat the whole
shooting match. Mrs. Callison Is the
m ther of quite family of children,
some of whom are In the ninth grade,
but lot me tell you that when Mrs.
Callison and some of us older than she
went to school they taught spelling
orally, aud they not only taught 1t
but they practiced 1t almost every
Friday afternoon and 1t is my opin-
ion that some of the modern methods
Of teaching are not as good after all
as the ole fashioned way. Spelling
seems almost a lost art, judging by
the army OF poor spoilers that are to
be found today. :.
Last Sunday Rev. Wood preached
at the Union church here an interest
ing sermon. Mr. Wood Is intelligent
and cultured and his sermons seem to
come from the heart, and consequent
ly reach his hearers. The writer
would be pleased to hear him preach
from the fifth chapter of James, TAX.
ing for his text the first six verses.
My reason for this suggestion is that
think he is fearless In bis utterances
on the right side and believe him
capable of handling the trusts and the
political CRATER, concerning whom
this text refers.
X. b. Bragg, the merchant prince
of Hood River, Mr.. Byerly, the all
round hustler for the Newsletter,
and Mr.. Hollowell were in attendance
at church here last Sunday. They
we're here representing the church at
Hood River to meet the officers and
members of the O ell Christian
church to effect mutual arrange
ment concerning the work of their
pastor, Mr.. Wood, who Is engaged to
serve the town church and the church
at Odell for the coming year. We
we're glad to meet these genial gentle
men, aud right glad, also, that they
had opportunity to take look at the
Hub Of East Hood River valley. Call
again.

Active railroad work is now being
pushed in earnest on the Portland 4
Seattle railroad near the dock Grad
ers are busy on the Shurte place and
from the constant thundering of the
blasts we imagine that the rock work
is getting rapidly into line. Reports
are current that the right of way has
been secured aud satisfactory agree

past few years in working up name

not propose to have all this work

the entire 40 acres, and putting into
cultivation all available land in the
spring. This ranch when once fixed
up, as Mr.. Holland plans, with quite
an increased acreage Of apple trees,
will be one of the choice places of this
section, and will always bring a fancy
price If put upon the market. We
congratulate the community on such
an acquisition as Mr.. Holland and
also congratulate him on his excellent
bargain.
Henry Avery was doing business at
the Little White store one day last
week. For three years now his grey
horses head this way when their gra-

John Lawless and family win soon

w. l.. Carnes, who advertises for
hard jobs, is now engaged In grubbing
three acres by contract and Is getting
on fine.
The Little White store people have
lot contract to the Dodge Bros. to
grub out about 100 trees, ranging in
size from 8 to 36 inches, on their %
acre tract near the store. This work
will increase the value Of the pl CO,
and 1t might happen that il some one
should want to buy one of the incest
little tracts in all this section, that
the owners might be tempted with a
fancy offer. The man behind the
grub hoe and wood saw will be much
In evidence here for the next three
months, which will greatly enhance
values In the Odell section.
The closing of the deal of that Ger
man coach horse Is still another in
dication that the people of Hood Riv-
er are entitled to the best things 90
ing. A $4,000 horse looks good, and
Ii is our opinion that under the libeI-
al terms of sale that this venture will
not only prove public benefit in the
breeding and growing of first class
horses, but good investment for the
owners of thi valuable horse, who are
to be commended for their enterprise
in placing this fine horse in the
valley.

the opinion that the writer of the ar

and shall ask that you correct this
very untruthiul statement, giving it
as much prominence as he attracting

The facts in this case are, that Mr..
Crockett did join The Order of Lions
as the article states and was men,
Der for some time but at the time of
the consolidation of The Order of
Lions with the Order of Washington

Crockett about the same time, the

case under Investigation with the Su.

that the claim could not be allowed. |

Still Trust High Prices.

The great objection OF the people
to the trusts and combines is that they
have increased the prices OF their
products inordnately. The object OF
the administration In Its spectacular
Nust busting performance seems to
be to make the trust barons divide up
with the Republican machine part OF
their great profits to the campaign
fund and so keep the Republican par
ty In power. The trusts and corpora
lions were quite liberal TO Mr.. Cortel-
you for Mr. ROoseyelt's campaign, and
as he is not only chairman OF the Re-
publican national committee but a
member Of the cabinet also, and thus
knows all the trust and administra.
tion secrets, he will doubtless be able
to make the trust magnates again con-
tribute for the coming campaign The
trouble with this Republican plan OF
trust busting is Il will never make
the trusts reduce prices, but Is rather
an incentive TO add to their potts so
that the people may be made to pay
the contributions TO campaign funds
as well as being plundcred for the
benefit OF the trust magnates them
selves. With all this Republican noise
about trusts can you name one trust
that has reduced the price of its prod
ucts2
