Last Fridays literary marked an.
other pleasant evenings entertain
ment. The upper part of the school
building was for the first time thrown
open to tho literary club. Six new
bracket lamps lighted the double room
nicely, and with the vocal and instru-
mental talent and the literary make Of
the crowds which assemble there, it
proves a good place for the listener,
and to be good listener means some
thing. This literary his winter has
been prominent factor in unifying
sentiment and the building up Of bet
ter conditions here.
While in Tacoma last week we met
old friends of our neighbor, T. p.
Friday, who we're exceedingly solici-
tous about his welfare. Mr.. Friday
was once familiar and prominent
figure aE Everett and Tacoma, and his
old friends there wish him well.
Last week by using the time while
res ing, hastily read Jack London's
book entitled, "a Call to the Wild. -.
The bero was Buck, large dog stolen
fom Judge Miller and Gala, and sold
to Alaskan parties whose after life,
and occupation was that musbing on
the trail under "Club and fang
There Is inspiration and the prompt
ings to higher life reflected between
the lines of this little book, teaching
us that after ali we are animals and
many OF US not far removed in con-
duct from the dumb animals that do
our bidding. Buck, from all accounts,
distinguished himself as the hero
and London leaves him In the wilds
of Alaska, heading a pack of half
wolf dogs, leading, training and
civilizing them.

Mrs. Ehrck, nee Miss Hull, resumed
her work as teacher Of the primary
gr de last week. Miss Davenport of
Mosier had successfully carried on the
work during her absence and has re-
turned to her home in Mosier. b.
The sloppy condition of the Odell
streets caused an accumulation Of
mud on the bridge spanning the creek
until 1T became almost impassibl for
teachers and children to get to school,
so our principal, S. }. Ennis, be-
came the man behind the hoe the
other day and caused transfer in
real estate and did the community a
sci vice for which he is entitled to a
vote of thanks.
l.. A. Il. Clark last year invested
in span of mules, paying $3.50.
Since then he has sold two head, and
last week got Sl25 for one of the two
originally purchased. This leaves him
the owner Of half the team which owe
him very little. We think Clark lost
his calling when he became ancher.
He should become horse merchant.
There are a string of fine looking
horses being paraded about the streets
of Odell every day that ought to
bring good price. Get Clark to sell
them. This reminds us that with the
| fine German coach stallion in the val.
ley the standard Of fancy bred horses
should be raised.

Odell.

or the people. With no provisions for
conventions to endorse candidates or
place them upon party platforms be-

there. Every member of the legisla- |

good thing for a few members next
time to try it.
