and forty.acre tract and Monday was
bidding his friends in Odell good bye.
Mr.. Wood has not stated definitely his
plans but he expects to spend short
time in Hood River before going to
some other point. He has spent al
most his entire life as q citizen of
Odell coming here with his parents
when he was small boy, and now af-
ter the marriage of his sisters and
passing awaye of brother, father and
mother he has been alone in the home.
He has many friends who will note his
absence from the community and who
will wish him success in such business
as he may engage. q. w. koilas mas
leased the property of Mr.. Wood ana
will in this way be more conveniently
located for schooling his children.
MIR. and Mrs. Il. W. Fitzgerald and
babv left Hood River Thursday bound
for their former home, Hoisington,
Kans., where they expect TO remain
for a two months visit, returning here
in the spring.
Those whol have been accustomed to
the game of basket ball report the
game Friday night as one of the best
they have seen in Odell and the Mosier
team received much favorable mention
fer the clean gentlenmanly manner IN
which they conducted themselves
throughout. From start to finish the
score was close and in the end the
margin was slight. The Mosier boys
came over the mountain with sleigh
and four horse team and on horseback,
staying until the early morning hours
before attempting the return trip, in
order that the road in danger from
drifts might be- travelled in daylight.
A return game will be played at Mos
ier soon.
Next Saturday night double game,
0delI girls and boys teams vs.. Hood
River girls and boys at the gymnasium
in Odell.

all report fine time.
Kemp lodge, |. o. q. F., entertained
II members of Idlewilde lodge, of
Hood River Saturday night. The visit

oyster stew added pleasure to the at.
fair.
While coasting on the butte near the
home of Mrs. Anna Lenz Sunday, Wal
ter, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chester
Shute, met with an accident. He and
his sled struck tree or stump with
such force that he was unconscious for
a time and was badly bruised and
shocked.
Hopes are entertained with all indi-
cations favorable that Leo Hammer
may have the thumb injured recently
in wood saw saved and not be re-
quired to submit to amputation of that
member.
Those lwho heard Mr.. Brumbaugh at
the high school last Friday evening re-
port very interesting and instructive
address spiced by flashes of humor.
The Epworth League social last
week Wednesday evening was quite
well attended business meeting

improvements are under way which
will result in a complete remodeling
of the interior of the upper story OF
the building of the Consolidated Mer.
Co.. at Odell. The plans provide fol-
balcony in place of the present upper
story and the rooms formerly used for
living rooms will be torn away. l.. d,
Boyed drew the plans and will direct
the work. AS the store at Van Horr
is not now under the management oi
the Consolidated Mercantile Co., stock
from that point was brought to the
local store at the beginning of the
present month.
Buildings and rumors of building:
are rife in the air and with the opening
of spring we may expect great activity
in Odell.
Please allow your correspondent t
suggest an industry that is sadly need
ed in Odell and that many times thai
need is impressed upon the mind oi
residents of Odell. A hotel and a shell
ter in which teams may be put up anc
fed. This need not be attempted OF
any extravagant scale, but one who j!
not in a position to know would be sur
prised at the many calls for something
along this line and the number of pat
rons should some one attempt bust
ness venture of this sort.
The community dinner and servic,
Sunday far exceeded the expectation!
of those interested. Though the day
was stormy the three large tables il
the church basement were set for all
who could find space around them, ant
after those had enjoyed their repast
one table was made ready for younl
people who had waited and when al
were served those faithful women O.
the Ladies' Aid made places for then
selves and those who had waited unit
all others no longer hungered, enjoyed
long delayed lunch. For his sermon
of the afternoon Rev. H. o. PER-,
found large and appreciative audi
ence and he spoke in the strong, clea
style which is always his.
MIR. and Mrs. Ralph Gill have leaset
their farm in Iowa, held an auction
sale of stock. etc, and will charter
car to bring such property as the,
wished to bring to their new home ant
they will very soon arrive in Odel
where they have for several year
owned tract which they will conver
into's home. Mrs. Gill is sister O
Mrs. W. l.. Sheirbon and Y. Grow.
Monday and Tuesday the Mount Hoot
railroad delivered mail out from Hoot
River and back, but no passengers o.
freight.
Think of the good all this snow will
do and be patient. We can at least be
lieve that plenty of winter in winter
proper time may mean--yea very like
ly does mean-besutiful spring in du,
time.
