10 RIVER ITCHED WITH INTEREST Sudden Thaw Would Raise Havoc Along Waterfront of Willamette. WEATHER IS UNCERTAIN Forecast Sy Warmer With More Snow Present Situation I Vn- tnonn In Annal of Ical Wcatlier Condition. With niU!!on nf tons of snow lyinK in tart In tlia Willamette Valloy, more now rallin last nipht. and the weather remaining too col.l for a rad tial than-, tiio river altuntion H belnit closely watched by the local Weather Bureau officlala. Will the cold snap pass way all at once, or will It break prad ually? Tho answer to this settles the question of whether or not an uncomfort able welling over of the Willamette River Is In atore. There was little In the weather of yes terday to jrlve any hint :i to what the fu ture policy of the srbrm kin may be. Throuitlinut the morning and afternoon there was a Rradual rlslmc of the ther mometer, accompanied by a marked fall ing of the baroinet.-r. This, taken with the heavy mists that overhung the city, shutting out the sun entirely, indicated the proximity of another snow flurry which developed early last night. If the thermometer rises, the snow may even turn to rain, so the Weather Bureau reported. In this event, barring another period of cold, extreme liiKh water may be regarded as certain for the end of the week. Coldest Yet KeftUtered. Not in 21 years was It so cold as dur ing the early hours of yesterday morn ing. At 5:45 A. M. tho mercury crept down to 5.U decrees above zero. On the night of January ir.. 1S. the mercury was at 2 degrees above, but 5.H has been the coldest weather since. The early hours of this morning are not expected to produce any new records. Judging from the state of the barometer last IiiKht. It Is not Improbable that there will be more snow Hurries tolay and even rain. Kit while the populace at large Is watching the thermometer only with Joy ful expectations of a sudden and decided rise, the dealers along Front street and the water front district are praying for warmer weather only to the slightest dc pree. and without rain. Warm weather and rains mean flooded basements, es pecially if accompanied by chinnok winds, gradual warmer weather means a safe tapping of the snow area. Theru was some relief from the extreme cold during yesterday afternoon when the mercury rose to 15 degrees above xero. But this was not sufficient to melt any amount of snow. The river was bowling along comfortably. For the tlrst time l.uge chunks of soft Ice could be seen In the water. It was of the kind known as mush le. Thin fringes of Ice could be -not. -1 too, along the shores, especially on the ast side of the river. The day began with a temperature of 9 degrees above. It remained at 9 until 2 A. SI., when S was recorded. An hour later It had fallen another notch and at 5 o'clock was down to 6. Between & and o'clock the cold snap was the worst thus far In Its career, forcing the mercury down to 3.8. It quickly got back to degrees, however, and remained there until 10 o'clock A. SI., when the up ward climb was commenced. At 11 o'clock 8 degrees was noted: at noon. & degrees: at 1 P. St.. 10 degrees; at 3 o'clock. 13 degrees, and at 4 I. SI.. 15. It hovered around this point until nearly 6 o'clock, when another mild falling pro cess set In. accompanied by a fulling away of the heavy mists overhead. .Mists Kail Away. The continued cold is the surprising thing about the present situation. Rarely has such persistently cold weather pre vailed. Since January 6 the highest mean temperature has been IS degrees above. The highest point recorded by the thermometer at any time was 18 above, which was noted for a few min utes January 6. Here Is a table prepared yesterday by District Forecaster lieals. which tells the story of the present storm spell In temperatures, from the day the first flurry of snow set In: Data.

IJttle Inconvenience Is now being ex perienced, the city having adjusted Itself fairly well to the snow and cold. Busi ness Is considerably better, the street cars continue running on their regular schedules, the theaters are prospering, ud there are more teamsters abroad, thereby insuring wider deliveries of coul and fuel. Difficulty still exists In getting deliveries made of fuel, and not a few, specially on the Bust Side, have found It necessary to visit some neighboring coal or woodyard and carry away suf ficient fuel for a few days. Sir. Beals would make no definite prom ises yesterday of better weather In the immediate rfuture. Conditions were too unsettled, he said, and there was noth ing upon which to base predictions of a radical change at this time. His bar ometlc readings gave notice of last Bight's anow. But as to when and how the snowy coating of the valley will be transformed to water there was nothing definite. Although many have taken the trouble to clear away the snow and cast out crumbs for the famishing birds, fatalities are reported numerous There Is still need of feeding the luck less little songsters which have been shut off altogether from food by the heavy now.

As a dear friend and confidant of Eugene Field. Henry Watterson, Oiarles Eugene Banks, Ben King and others of the later press stars he is held In high respect by thousands of men who make their living by making newspnpers. But buck of these he knew, and was familiar with such patriarchs of the American prints as George D. Prentice, Artemus Ward, Murat Halsttd. Charles A.

Some 3 years ago Colonel Visscher was on the editorial staff of Tho Ore gonian and his brilliant work on this paper Is still remembered by the older readers. From here he went to Tacoma and became managing editor of the Globe, now defunct and later the Fair haven Herald, now become the Belling ham Herald and one of the most pros perous of the smaller dailies on the Pa cific Coast.

PLAY IS TRUE TO NOVEL "Ben Hur" Carefully Handled In Stage Production. Unlike so many ' plays taken from novels, 'Ben Hur." the Impressive Wal lace spectacle, which fills the week of January 18 at the Hellig. has been deftly handled. It brings out the bone and sinew of that great story, and holds the interest from the first to the last curtain, as If one were enthralled. Tho demands of dramatic sequence are strictly adhered to at all times, while tho work of setting' the story before the public gaze Is so admirably done that "Ben Hur." aside from Its natural beauties, should live as an ex ample' of what vast possibilities the stage holds out when the right con Junction of author, dramatist, producer and stage director Is reached.

TRAINS LATE Snowplow Pent Ahead of Outgoing Trains Inbound Reach Port- Jand Many Hours lite Main Line Is Xow Cleared. Bridge Draws Shortened. The recent cold has shortened the steel draws on the several bridges over the "Willamette. Contraction of the metal In the draws has caused a general short ening of the whole fabric amounting: to several Inches, and where the gap be tween the swinging and stationary por tions of the bridges was formerly but a half Inch, It is now two or three Inches across. The Morrison bridge Is the most seriously affected this way and passing cars receive a considerable Jolt now when "leaping the gap." There Is no danger, however, and warm weather will bring an expansion that will return the draws to their normal length- Children's shoes at factory 00 St. makes at Rosenthal's. Best "It looks like a bad night tonight," was the word sent to the general offices of the O. R. & N. late yesterday after noon by the operating officials, who are making a desperate battle to keep the main line open through the Columbia River Canyon. It was likely that the main line, cleared sufficiently yesterday to allow trains to pass, would be DlocKeci again by snow this morning. The wind was blowing late yesterday and -drifting tho snow badly. Forces at work Hunting the storm were busy keeping open the cuts that were filling up. Aside from the gloomy outlook last night, yesterday was a good day for the 0. R. & N. The main line was cleared and ail trains delayed by tho snow block ado got through to Portland. No. 2, the Chicago train, got away yesterday morn ing in two sections and a rotary snow plow was sent ahead to brush the drifts off the track. This train got through all right, the first section reaching The Dalles one hour and 20 minutes late and the second section 2 hours and 30 min utes late. The stalled west-bound trains reached the city all right. Passengers were well cared for during their enforced Imprisonment in the snowdrifts and had nothing to compluin of except the delay. Local trains on the O. R. & N. and tho Spokane trains were annulled again yesterday, but train No. 6. leaving last night, got away on time and It was ex pected It would get through safely. No. 1, Monday's train, came In yesterday 17 hours late and No. 1 of yesterday was several hours late at Huntington. No. 6, of Monday, passed Brlday Veil last night, ten hours late. Trains JN and 5, of January 10, arrived at Portland late Monday night, the first to get through over the main line since Sunday morning. No. 6, of January 10, passed Umatilla yesterday, on Its way east. 30 hours late. Trains 2 and 6, of Monday, were annulled. It was hoped yesterday to get freight moving today, but the indications last night were that this hope would not'be realized. Trains on the Washington division were reported very lato yesterday because of heavy weather, deep snow and bad connections. The Southern Pacific trains yesterda'y were running from one to three hours late because of frozen water tanks and a bad rail. The North Bank road was getting through all right with some de lays to trains because of the storm. Reports received at the head offices of the O. R. & N. yesterday showed that It was the coldest day yet experienced In Eastern Oregon. Thirty degrees below zero was registered at Arlington yester day morning and at S A. M. the average temperature on the Oregon division of the O. R. & N. In the first district was 16 degrees below zero. In the second dis trict, further east. It was even colder.

At Scllwood the purchase of a park of some 12 acres east of the Oaks on the high ground meets the approval of resi dents, according to statements mado yes terday -by a number of citizens. It had been charged that the tract Is partly on the steep hillsides on the -west and north of City View Park, and is really of little value for park purposes. D. M. Donaush, who !s familiar with the tract, said yes terday: "There is considerable Indignation over I Macbeth Llnklater, Who Saved Lives of Sererml Bojra, the report to the effect that this tract is worthless, belnjr mostly on the hillsides. In fact, the land purchased Is not on the hillsides at all. but on the level ground, high and sightly, and very well placed for park or for any other purposes, and the purchase, as far as I can ascertain, is generally approved by the residents of Sellwood. In faot, tho tract is one of the best that could have been secured for the people of this suburb. "The tract comprises some 12 acres and enough more will bo secured to make a park of 15 acres."

AVERTS A CAR COLLISION lighting a Lantern He Gives Danger Signal and Streetcar Stops Just in Time to Permit Bobsled of Youngsters to Escape. Macbeth TJnklater, a small boy who lives at Fifth and Grant streets, mada a hero of himself Monday night and was so greatly admired by his youthful com panions whom he paved from perhaps serious disaster that they took up a purse as a small token of their admira tion of his deed. In Grant street Is a steep hill which has been crowded with bob-sleds, small boye and small girls since the snow be gan to fall. At the foot of the hill Is a streetcar track and many lives have been endangered since the coasting began. The Linklater boy goes to school, but In the afternoon and evenings earns money by serving as watchman for the boys who own the bobsleds to aid In pre venting accidents. He stands at the foot or the hill near the tracks, armed with a lantern at night, to stop approaching cars In case a collision Is impossible. Monday night the hill was crowded as the lad returned to his post of duty with the lantern. He had not lighted the lantern, and Just as he arrived he saw a car approaching and at the same Instant discerned a bob sled crowded with youngsters pounding down the hill. He realized instantly that a collision was Imminent and that it was his duty to prevent it. There was no time to hesitate or to weigh various plans In his mind. He must act quickly and he did. Placing himself in the middle of the track he attempted to light the lantern. The car was approaching rapidly, and so was the bob-sled, and when he had finally suc ceeded In turning on the light the car was only a short distance from him. He then ran at full speed directly towards the car. By the application of air brakes it was stopped within an arm's length of the boy. The other youngsters cheered, as did passengers on the car. And they were so enthusiastic that they raised a purse and presented it to him. None of the oc cupants of the Sled was Injured and it was by the narrowest margin that a collision was averted.

OUTSIDE "I wouldn't take $5000 for a cake of Soap Lake Soap if I couldn't get an other," said a proud husband in Portland yesterday. "My wife's entire body was covered with pimples. Her face was blotchy. Upon the recommendation of a friend for whom Soap Lake Salts had accom plished wonders, I bought a cake of Soap Lake Soap and a package of Soap Lake Salts. - - "According to directions, my wife took the salts internally, and bathed her self frequently with the soap. The influence was felt from the first day. The red angry pimples began to" cool and dry up, and the entire bodily health was improved. In ten days the pimples were all dried up, and most of them were gone. A few days more, and every pimple had disappeared, and my wife's skm had a healthy, clear color. It was as soft,as a child's. "From being afflicted with what she feared was a dreadful blood disease, my wife has become the happiest woman in the world, bright, cheerful and beauti fuland to say I am happy is putting it mildly. I unreservedly ascribe this all to the properties of Soap Lake Salts and Soap Lake Soap, and would not take $5000, or any amount of money, for this experience;" STRAIGHT FROM NATURE There is- no chemical in Soap Lake Soap or Salts. The salts are just as they come from the lake (Soap Lake, Washington), where nature has deposited them in her own mysterious wajr, giving them properties possessed by no other element ever discovered in the world. No chemist has ever succeeded in com pounding anything having the same properties as Soap Lake Salts. The soap contains nothing but the Soap Lake Salts, with vegetable butter to hold the salts in cake form. INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY Swallowed, the salts have a wholesome, tonic effect on the system. Relief from stomach trouble is felt quickly, and the effect on the system in removing impurities is marked from the first day. The soap can be applied just as often and as liberally as wished, as there is no chemical in it. Its cleansing tonic effect is felt at once, and it is' only a matter of hours before you can see the results of its use on the skin.
