Mrs. W. A. Slingerland, Of Portland,
spent few days last week visiting at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. o. H.
Rhoades. Mrs. Slingerland. with her
husband. formerly resided on the prop
erty now owned by Louis Plog and sold
by Mr.. Slingerland to MIR. Plog about
IA years ago. Many changes have been
made in Odell and vicinity since Mrs.
Slingerland left here and many beauti-
full homes are now where were then
great forest trees.
Mrs. Rebecca Stidham and Mrs. Roy
Fredericks went to Portland Sunday
returning home Monday night. While
they we're in Portland an operation was
performed for the purpose of reducing
the fracture in the bones of the leg of
Jack Feuston, who suffered a broken
leg while driving the team of Cameron
& Sheppard from the mill site in the
vicinity Of Fir to the box factory in
Odell. Insertion of silver plates was
found necessary and il is believed the
injured man will not be able to be
about his usual employment for several
months. Mrs. Stidham is sister of
Mr.. Feuston.
Apple harvest is at the busiest this
week and warehouse employees are
working to the limit. The Association
warehouse is full to overfowing, men
working days. nights and Sundays to
make space for apples which are being
received at the rate of 1000 boxes daily.
Special trains bringing refrigerator
cars, come out each afternoon and load.
ed cars are taken away. Aside from
the Association warehouse the Ex-
change and Dan Wueille warehouses
are receiving apples. Help is in de-
mand and weather has been fine for
coloring apples and for harvesting.
Ore morning last week when H.
Cramer, contractor for the new Union
high school was bringing men employed
in construction of building out from
Hood River, the car which MIR. Cramer
was driving collided with one driven by
Leroy Childs. of the experiment station
as both we're rounding the Struck cor.
ner. Mr.. Norton. who was in the Cra-
mer car, was thrown out and seriously
injured, and just how the injury will
terminate is not known. However, 1t
is said four physicians are hopeful and
believe Mr.. Norton will recover with
out the aid of a surgical operation.
We sincerely hope that good reports
may be had very soon, for in all such
accidents the suffering of those not in.
jured physically is great, while for the
injured there is anguish added to great
Inconvenience. With increased number
of cars must come increased caution OF
more accidents, with perhaps fatal in
juries to occupants of cars.
Those who attended the literary last
Thursday evening. and there was
good audience, report fine program
and the best of order. Early hours are
promised and prospects are bright fol
a literary society that shall be all that
could be desired. The next regular
meeting will be held next week or
Thursday evening.
