Bertha Folts institute Rebekah |
lodge at that point. The new lodge
is known as Oregon Grape Rebekah |
Lodge No. Is, 90. f., has mem.
bership of twenty five for begin
ming, and gives promise of good work. |
The Odell crowd found the Mount
Hood people royal entertainers and |
to say that all enjoyed the evening
would be expressing 1t in very mild
terms, and they hope at some time
they may have the pleasure of enter |
tanning these Mount Hood friends.
The people of Odell west of the store
and those of Dukes Valley who are
patrons of X, II. d. No. ! are beoom
ing thoroughly disgusted with rural
delivery of mail as they get it. Dukes
Valley has had but one delivery of
mail in several months. They must
go to Odell store for the mail. Since
the new carrier went on the patrons
west of Odell store must go 20 the
store for their mail. Complaint is
made that some mail has been lost
A letter that arrived in Hood River
February 10 was not received by
patron out here until March 3. Every
one looking for mail must go over a
large quantity to find what belongs
to him. The matter of roads cannot
be the excuse for all this, for the car
rier has been going by way of the
worst piece of road any whore near
here, viz: that passing north and
south by Odell store. Must the pat
rons of K. +. d. No. submit longer
to this sort of tTeatmentH We believe .
not If Che postmaster at Hood River
cannot make some provision for re
lievins this condition we think there
is yet way.
