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

City Gets Vsed to Colli.
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.

TP SK anyone who has been In the

Colonel William Llghtfoot Vtsscher
and he will be only too giad to tell you
something Interesting about one of the
most ur.hiue character we have in Amer

newspaper writers regard Colonel VIs
scl.er as something of a tradition, along
with ?orgo D. Frentice. Horace Greeley
and Charles A. Dana. The veteran who
commenced his career as an officer In a
I'nlon Kentucky regiment In the Civil
War and has left his impress on Journal

years" absence with his daughter and
son-in-law In a vaudeville sketch at Pan

American don who has a. weakness for
bullfights as well as If ho had devoted his
entire life to acting rather than writing
books and newspaper matter which has
given him a permanent place among
the recent lights of the press.
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. Dana
and a doz.-n others whose names are but
memories to most of us.
Some 3 years ago Colonel Visscher
was on the editorial staff of Tho Ore

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

ham Herald and one of the most pros
perous of the smaller dailies on the Pa

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.

"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.

APPROVE PARK PURCHASE
Scllwood Citizens Are Satisfied With
Action of Board.
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

Young Linklater Saves Lives
of Youthful Coasters.
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.

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.
