The Expresses of Russia.

+
During the eighteenth century no less
than four expresses held sway over
Russia, and if perhaps the throne was
unjustly usurped in more than one in
stance it can at least be said Of all Of
them that they reigned more wisely
than the emperors Of that period and
that they have left names more famous
than those Of their male predecessors
and successors. With all her many
faults Catherine the Great proved a
wise and powerful monarch, and much
that dfsfgured her history may be for
gotten, seeing that she almost totally
abolished the custom Of subjectings all
Russian prisoners to:a system of ghast,
y torture besides repeating many 9th
er cruel and barbarous laws.

Odell, East Hood River Valley, Jan.
3.--What shall the harvest be for Hood
River valley during 1906?
Big things are coming our way If we
put our shoulders to the wheel. Bet
ter join the procession and get move
on you or you may be laid up for re-
pairs by getting under the wheels Of
the car Of progress that Is headed this
way After thanking the Glacier read
ers for their indulgence during the
past year, | beg to say that unless the
Glacier manager releases me from fur
ther obligations, 1t may be that /
might infiict my notes upon them
again. At any rate my coat is off and
| intend to use whatever of ability and
influence | may possess, in behalf Of
the upbuilding Of the valley. But
here we are at the open door of new
year. Now is the time to write reso-
lutions. Better write them on your
cuffs, unless you intend to keep them.
We we're absent from home when
the yule tide OF Christmas rolled in,
hence had no Christmas notes from
Odell. But that your readers may
understand how superfleially many
people read, one of my good friends,
a gentleman who reads the paper and
who lives in town, congratulated me
last week on my Christmas sermon In
the Glacier. But when | told him
that didn't write line last week,
aud that he must apologize to Bro
Brayford of Rockford for this awful
blnndel, he saw he was up against 1t
and promised to square himself with
your Barrett correspondent, for whom
we have profound regard. My dis
tinguished friend was reading from
the Barrett column instead of the
Odell notes.
Last Saturday morning natures ar
tist gave us a beautiful picture The
earth was carpeted with white, while
the leafless oak limbs looked stately
beneath their jeweled- like settings.
Beside and about the oaks we're the
pines that seemed bowed down meath
their burdens, their limbs dropping.
Sn as we turn the last leaves Of the
dying year and behold the weight of
winter as 1t grips the trees, and the
things about us In nature, may we
not az we pause upon the threshold Of
the new year, and cast a swift look
backward through the weight of years,
better understand the meaning of
these grey hairs and more fully real.
ize that before many more mile stones
are passed that we, too, will totter
and fall like some tall tree of the tor.
est that for centuries has withstood
the storms of winter. But lest we
pause too long or brood over the mis-
takes of the past, let be off again
and somewhere in the thickest of the
battle perhaps we may again catch
that bow Of promise that during all
the years Of our lives has beekoned us
from defeat TO victory as well as from
victory to defeat. Remembering as
we journey along, "That 'tis better
to have tried and failed, than not to
have tried at ALL /"
During the holiday vacation the
