ODELL
THE BANQUET AS
SHELLEY SAW 1T

by Roswell Shelley. .ss
Odell, East Hood River Valley, Jan.
l0.-The banquet given last Saturday
evening at the MT. Hood Hotel was
truly the big thing Of the season We
feel justified in the foregoing state
ment when we remember the many ell
oquent tributes paid our valley by our
distinguishedPort visitors-Judge
Cake, Tom Richardson and Mr. Hall
Then ,remembering The fact that their
testimony was corroborated by our
venerable neighboT and friend, the
Hon. r. H. Smith, who though rest
ing under the weight Of years, is yet
young in heart, vigorous in body,
brilliant OF intellect, gifted with cboi-
cest language that flows spontaneous
ly, and is pregnant with the fragrance
Of a Iipened and well ordered life
Mr.. Smith is not only rich in years,
rich in experience, rich in honore, but
is also rich so far ss th S world .
goods are concerned, and who shall
envy him2 He Is surely entitled to
all the comforts and Injuries that
this world can bestow upon him, and
there is no spot on earth that can
furnish them more lavishly than can
his stately and elegant home in the
town Of Hood River, and we wish him
all of these ia 1nnieasured quantities,
as he journeys onward through the
reminiseent days Of his life.
Our t0astmaster, our honorable.l
friend, A. A. Jayne, should not be
overlooked in this connection. As
usual he honored this position and
not only reflected credit upon town
and country, hut forgot not to honor
neither our visitors nor his fellow
.townHmen, | believe you will agree
with the writer that he convinced the !
audience that he could throw more
bouquets than any man around the |
festive board. We give him The glad
hand.
Judge Cake said one thing that
should be framed and become pro-
verb for every community, to wit
THAT we must grow big. I" This brief
sentence means much more than the
mere speaking or writing 1t. There
are many ways In which community |
may grow,and Hood River is on tho
right track and is getting there.
III. f., Davidson, the club president, !
acquitted himself well, as did M. z. |
lsen berg In his heart TO heart talk
concerning pioneer days In Hood |
River valley.
The Mt. Hood Hotel management is
entitled TO great credit for the splen-
did feed, for the unique and pretty
decorations, for The texceedingIy ex-
cellent manner in which the guests
we're served, and for the liberal hos
pitaity shown some of the banquet

A FURIOUS FOURTH.
How the TranspInnted Westerner
Knew Ho WINS Homo Again.


While the modes of expressing patrl-
otto rapture are few, they do neverthe-
less differ little in different localities.
''The first time went back to ILL
nois," relates transplanted westerner,
was In July. 1 went by the lake
route on fine big white steamer. On
the morning OF the Fourth we were on
Lake Michigan and there was nothing
ut all doing In the way OF festivity.
That quiet mood matched the calm
water and Ii lasted until we came into
Chicago. There we started up the mar
row little Chicago river to our dock.
There wasn't much room TO spare, and
we were picking our way glngerly,
when along came one of the old Mil
waukee whalebacks. spouting black
smoke and Jostllng her way down the
river without paying any attention TO
anybody.
There was an outrageous amount of
noise on board and when the old boat
came alongside OF us we saw that the
deck was black with passengers. All
along the rail on both sides were men
with pistols. AS fast as they could
load and pull the triggers they were
firing blank cartridges, and every time
they fired they'd yell. liked the quiet
OF the lake, but that made me feel good

the west again. New York Post.

THREE BIG CRACKERS.
They Had 90 he Reloaded Before
They WOuId Co On

a young lawyer IN Atlanta had a
northern friend living In n small town
not great distance from the city, and
the day before the Fourth OF July he
received telegram from him running
about like this: WANT TO celebrate in
proper style. Send by next train II
few OF the biggest crackers you can
find"
IL so happened that the lawyer had
three clients who were TO be released
from Jail the following morning. They
were tall, gaunt. bearded mountain
GERS who belonged TO the class known
as Georgia crackers and had been
locked up for making moonshlne whIs-
ky. The town where the patriotic
northerner lived was on their way
home. and, seeing an opportunity to
have some fun, the attorney went
around TO the Jail and told the trio of
wild men that he would pay their rail-
road fare that far " they would stop
OF and deliver note to a friend
They agreed, and he gave them a let
ter running thus: These are the big
gest crackers could find. Hope they
will prove satisfactory"
Next morning the suburbanIte was
summoned to his door and confronted
by three huge mountalneers, who sol
EMMY handed him the note and sat
down on the front steps. He was
amazed beyond measure. and when he
read the missive he realized that he
was up against IT," as the saying
goes. There Is very little humor about
the Georgia moonshiners, and he knew
instinctively that II would be danger
Gus to let those grim giants suspect
for moment that they had been made
the instruments OF n joke. How to
get rid of them was the question.
After awhile he invited them to
breakfast and then gave them 81
apiece and told them to go and cele-
brate. They promptly filed up on corn
whisky. and later In the afternoon he
hired a man to put them aboard the
train and pay their fare to their noun
tain home. Then he sent n telegram,
which the lawyer still preserves.
Crackers arrived" II ran. Very un-
satisfactory. Had TO have them re-
loaded before they would go off,
