The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1906-03-01

audience was expectant and attentive,
being represented by the majority oi
the residents Of Odell with quite 8
sprinkling of the elite from Pine
Grove, Mount Hood and Barrett.
From every point OF view the whole
bloomin' show wa decided success,
the proceeds being s36, which went
into the school library fund. Pres.
sure is now being brought upon the
troupe for repetition of this play,
and should it come to pass then we
will have opportunity to redeem our
selves by going more into details.
During the three years lsst past we
have devoted quite bit of time to
the work of writing the notes fron
Odell, and many has been the time
that had we consulted our own per-
sonal feelings we would perhaps have
put In the time reading or resting in
stead of pumping hot air into the Gla-
cier from Odell, as we are sometimes
accused Of doing. But from the first
day we sat fool on the pine clad park
of the Little White store grounds
meath the shadow of these grand old
snow covered mountains we have al
ways had an abiding faith in the fu-
ture of this most charming valley, and
light sense of responsibility In help
ing In small way to make the outside
world know something concerning the
indescribable charms and financial re-
ward awaiting those who had pinned
their faith and pitched their tent here.
Then again | admit selfish motive.
Having embarked In business here |
was exceedingly anxious to increase
tne selling capacity Of the Little
White store Just how well / have
succeeded in one or both of the things
that lay near my heart / am willing
the people shall Judge. At any rate,
each week take the pencil and record
small part Of the local happenings
here, my faith In the future of our
beloved valley, and feel tinge OF
satisfaction concerning my work, al
tho poorly done. So with renewed
energy and unbounding and untram-
meled faith in the vale Of Hood River
that will unfold in the near future un-
der the work of development now be-
ing crowded, | am quite content to
work and wait, for the end is not yet.
Clint Wood, who Is at work with the
Davenport people at Green Point,
spent Sunday at Odell with his pai
ents. Clint informs us that the new
mill is fast approaching completion,
and when once finished will be dairy.
IL will have a capacity of 10000 feet
iaily. Lumber seems to be In de.
mand and has already advanced in
Portland, Tacoma and other large
numbering centers. Clint is always
welcome by his friends about Odell.
Miss Nettie Kemp, whose home is
at Odell, and whom all of OdeD de-
lights to honor, has secured position
with the new real estate firm Of j. ii.
HeilbronneI * Co. of Hood River, and
will now be in easy reach Of her
friends. We are glad to know that
Nettie is to be with us and congratu-
late this real estate concern upon the
fact of securing the services Of such q
capable and worthy young lady as
"Our Nettie." BY the way, this con-
Germ that advertises to do things
seems to be already doing something.
Their methods Of advertising should
bring many people, all of whom will
look, and many Of them buy In the
valley of Hood River. We think there
is room for this wide awake concern,
and we give them the glad hand.
