The first snow of the year fell yester day, commencing at 11 o'clock In the morning. A temperature of 28 degrees above zero was registered. The fall was about an inch, and continued through, the day with little interruption. Toward night appearances indicated that the precipita tion would be lasting. In leas that half an hour after the first few flakes wafteU earthward on the in vigorating atmosphere the city had donned an immaculate garb, but much to the chagrin of those poetically Inclined there was no sun in which the flakes might 'scintillate like myriads of glis tening jewels." The fall was a continuous one. and to the delight of the younger element promised three or four Inches of good sleighing snow before nightfall. Cold weather of the past week had chilled the ground and it was ideally prepared for the reception of a generous snowfall. Brings Joy to Youngsters. But a few moments -after the coming of the first flakes, the diminutive sleds of the small boys "were brought into use. All that remained to make yesterday in Port land an ideal. Eastern Winter day was the gay chime of the sleighbells or tho introduction of a commodious "bobsled." The coming of the noon hour was the occasion for much arduous enjoyment for tho young American. The High School ?Kys gave all thought to sliding and snow fighting. Eating was a secondary con sideration. Lownsdale street was trans formed into a slldo which forced tobog gans and "shoot the chute" contrivances InjLO Insignificance. A hundred or more pleasure-seeking youngsters sought the impromptu tobog gan and made the air ring with shouts of merriment. Tiring of the slide, a snow fight was deemed quite the thing, and many a boy returned to his desk with the scars of battle. Downtown the irrepressible newsboys and other youngsters were waiting for the .unwary, a generous-sized snowball clutched Jn their pigmy fists. Needless to ay, the receptions tendered bystanders were not always appreciated. To the con trary. In many Instances dire wrath de scended upon the sportive offenders. In many instances elderly gentlemen, just on the verge of dotage, became rejuvena ted. Ponce de Leon's fountain was not necessary in Portland. Venerable bank ers and barristers threw dignity to the winds and joined in the sport of the youngsters. It reminded them of when they were boys, they said. Skating was good" for horses. Even the equities seemed to appreciate that Port land's Thursday was put aside as a day of enjoyment. They do say that horses have no brains. To see a knowing equine put forth his hoofs and slide from Mor rison io Alder street on Sixth should change that verdict. From the general good nature manifest in every part of the city, the day was one of tho most enjoyable ones Portland has yet seen. The thermometer registered 26 degrees above zero. Yesterday is conceded to be thecoidest day experienced here in years. The local forecaster sums up the situa tion as follows: Report of Weather Man. "The snow which began falling in Portland-yesterday (January 12), at 10:5S A. M.. continued with but slight Intermission the remainder of the day. The amount at S I. M. was only an inch In depth, and It was very dry and feathery. No snow foil In Southern Oregon nor in Northwest Washington, but it was reported from scattered places In extreme Eastern Ore gon, and extreme Eastern Washington. The conditions at present writing Indicate snon- for Friday, but It is not thought that more than two or three Inches will fall In Portland during the next 24 hours. No marked change In temperature is an ticipated for a day or two." AFFECTS CAR TRAFFIC. Street-Railway Lines Find Some Trouble With "the Beutlful." Yesterday's storm caused but little trou ble on the street-car lines of the city. Between the hours of 6 and 7 last night the extra large crowds to be accommo dated on account of the snow put all the cars off tho usual schedule but by 8 o'clock all cars were running on time. Uurlng the early part of the evening five cars equipped with huge rotary brushes tvctc operated on the West Side and three of such cars kept the tracks clear on the east side of the river.
