An unknown man attempted what is
a very unusual method in Odell for the
solution Of the questions of high living,
credit or cash, ETC., last Friday night
when he entered the Connaway store
and selected articles that to him sp-
peared most tempting and perhaps nee
essary, and was coming up through an
outside hatchway when he was discov- |
cred. He ran away leaving the sack |
containing groceries as evidence of his |
intentions.
Many of the older residents of 0dell |
were sorry to hear of the death of H. |
J. Hibbard, of Dallas, Ore. MIR. Hib-
bard formerly RESIDED in Hood River
and owned property in Odell and was |
respected by all who knew him. A
number from Odell attended his fu-
neral. which was held in Hood River
Sunday.
MIR. and Mrs. W. T. Hibbard, of |
Dallas, Ore, called on few friends in
Odell Monday afternoon.
We understand that Odell was we'll |
represented in Hood River on bargain
day. Evidently the merchants of Hood
River know human nature and realize
that in this day of city stores brought
to the customers very door by improved
transportation facilities, parcels post.
etc, the home merchant must, if he
would compete in the business world,
put forth inducements that will make
il worth while for the customer to
trade at home. We are told an open
market is planned for Hood River in
the near future to be conducted like
the public markets of the large cities.
MIR. and Mrs. James Rimmer, who
we're at one time residents of Odell,
spent Sunday at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Eggert. Mrs. Rimmer will
leave soon for her former home in
England.
Almont Ferguson left Sunday for
Astoria, where he may remain for an
extended stay.
Orchardists of this vicinity are very
much disappointed as a result of fol-
lowing advice given out regarding
spraying which has proved very ex-
pensive advice for the grower. In
some instances, we are told, the foliage
as we'll as fruit have been practically
destroyed.
Already the hay baer has been at
work and Rev. Troy Shelley's fine crop
of wheat hay, as well alfalfa and
clover, was baled Monday.
