THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1909.
SNOW MELTING AS
FUST AS IT FALLS
Coast Counties Have Higher
Temperatures and Contra
dictory Conditions.
WEATHER SHARPS PUZZLED
Likely as Not There Will Be Lifting
Weather in Portland Today,
With Easterly Winds Only
Zephyrs Blowing.
With a light eouth -wind in Portland ;
past -winds, snow and cold -weather over
Eastern Oreron. Eastern Washington
and Idaho: east -winds and clear skies
on Puftet Sound, and northwest winds in
San Franrlsco, tho weather map last
nlgrht puzzled the forecasters of th
Weather Bureau. In the Santiam Val
ley there was ten Inches of snow, and
more was falling-. There was heavy, wet
snow in the Siskiyou Mountains. In Uma
tilla County 3 degrees below zero was re
ported.' but at Brownsville. Chemawa.
Ashland and other points the weather
was relatively warm and the snow was
melting.
Contradictory' conditions prevailed gen
erally. Storms, where there were storms,
appeared to be local.
All these reports made the Weather
Man scratch his head. After a season of
thought, he decided that, as likely as not,
Portland will have clouds and east winds
today, with probably clearer weather.
Storm Hampers Wires.
The storm has put nearly all the tele
graph and long-distance telephone wires
out of order, and last night the only wire
in operation between Portland and San
Francisco was a press wire.
Some of the long-distance telephone
wires near Portland suffered, resulting In
suspending communication between this
city and Tillamook and some smaller
places.
At the offices of the Postal Telegraph
Company yesterday afternoon it was
stated that the company's lines from
California and lines directly from tho
East were out of commission, and that
messages sent to San Francisco had to
go by ,wy of Vancouver,' B. C. and
Chicago. The local lines, it was stated,
.were all right.
Whfn the Western Union office was
asked yesterday afternoon if the wires of
that company were In good shape, the
reply was that they were working well,
although the day before much delay had
been occasioned by the weather. At the
Weather Bureau It was stated later that
the Western Union did not hava all its
lines working, as stated, and that all the
commercial lines of the company to San
Francisco were out of order. The trou
ble was said to be serious on both sides
of Ashland.
Winds Are Light.
Wires of the Pacific Telephone & Tele
graph Company between Portland and
San Francisco were interrupted, accord
ing to information obtained from the
company early yesterday afternoon, and
It seemed Indefinite when they would be
In working order again.
Weather sharps were at a loss to ac
count for the lfi-mile wind that pre
vailed at Tatoosh Island. Washington,
while other Coast points reported from
four to eight miles. There was almo6t
no wind In Portland, or along the Oregon
coast. If the wind here should continue
to come from the south. It would presage
rain, but the weather office thought last
'v night that it would, change to the east.
The snowfall in Portland reached a
depth of S4 inches yesterday, but at
points up the Willamette Valley it was
much deeper. The heaviest fall of snow
was recorded at Salem, where It reached
a total depth yesterday of 12 Inches.
Although the snow" was thawing a part
of the time underfoot, the maximum tem
perature of the day. as officially record
ed, was 31 degrees and the minimum was
M degrees. The river dropped one foot
four Inches during the 24 hours ended
last night.
Streetcar Men Busy.
"Our company has not experienced any
more trouble in maintaining a satisfac
tory service during this snow storm than
any other railway company in any of the
other large cities either In the East or
the West under the same circumstances,"
said C. J. Franklin, superintendent of
the railway department of the Portland
Railway. I,ight & Power Company, yes
terday. "Ever since the storm broke at
. noon Saturday we have been receiving
compliments on all sides for the character
of the service we maintained. That our
pervice must have not only measured up
to. but exceeded expectations Is further
attested by the fact that we have not
received a single complaint.
"At 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon we
sent out our tripper service for the double
purpose of keeping the track in good
condition and to make up for any delay
In the service which might result from
the snow. At no time Saturday or today
was the service on any part of the sys
tem seriously criprled.
"The Vancouver service was not aban
doned. Only two trips were lost on that
division during the entire storm. This
was due more to the fact that the ferry
could not land on the Oregon side on ac
count' of the high winds. This, resulted
In the delay of several cars for two or
three minutes with the result that in the
aggregate about two trips were lost.
Shop Car Delayed.
"The Sellwood line was delayed more
than an hour by reason of the dropping
down of a motor case on one of the
cars and our not being able to get it
replaced as quickly - as w otherwise
might, owing to the delay in getting the
shop car to the scene of the accident, on
account of the enow. After this accident
had been repaired all cars on the Sell
wood and the Oregon Water Power divi
. slons were operated on good schedule,
some being delayed but not seriously
Under the circumstances.
"The lOregon City and Cazadero trains
were operated strictly on schedule. There
was some trouble on the Montavllla line
In the outskirts of the city caused bjt the
drifting snow which drifted in as fast as
we could clean It away. This was the
feature of the storm which made it diffi
cult to operate the cars on schedule.
"We kept our service in operation over
all of the principal lines all night Sat
urday night and that we succeeded in
keeping the tracks open was evidenced
this morning when all cars were started
strictly according to schedule. We are
willing to submit to the general publio
that our service was even better than
might reasonably have been expected
under the unfavorable circumstances."

on my stomach and steering with my
hands, the girl behind me holding lay
feet up. I stayed with the sled and when
the front bob passed the pole I was shot
oft into the street. The girl who was
holding my feet received a bad cut on
the nose. I hope she will come forward
and tell what she knows about this for
I know it was not my fault. I don't
know what her name is or where she
lives."
Stewart came to Portland only a .few
months ago from a small town in Minne
sota, but refused to tell the name of the
place because his mother lives there and
he feared she would be unduly worried
if she heard of the affair through sources
other than the family. ,
Miss Magdalena Weber confirmed the
statement of Stewart in most respects
when able to speak at the hospital last
night. She was riding Just In front of
Miss Serra and was thrown past the tele
phone pole on the street side.
The wreck of the bob sled lies on the
side of Hall street, a mute evidence to
the disaster. The front runner is broken
on the left side, showing that ,it shot
past the pole as described by Stewart,
while the runners of the rear sled were
entirely broken off.
At the home of Miss Serra It was
announced after the accident that the
young lady had gene to the hill against
the wishes of her mother, Mrs.,M. M.
Balsam. The young woman had been
fond of the Winter sport on the hill
sides, but had once before been injured
The family came from Astoria two and
one-half years ago. The girl s step
father lives in San Francisco, where
he conducts a restaurant.
Late police reports last night show that
a number of minor accidents occurred in
various parts of the city among small
boys and girls who were coasting. At
Front and Lowell streets a broken nose
and a lacerated head decorate two boys
while on Second street one youngster had
a miraculous escape from death when his
sled dashed under a moving streetcar.

At least one besides the small boy is
delighted with the present cold snap
and the accompanying- blanket of snow.
It is "Polar," the large white bear at
the City Park. ,
Polar is not allowed outside of his ln
closure, to wallow fn the snow on the
hillside, much as he desires it, but yes
terday afternoon he accepted the next
best substitute when Courter, one of
the assitant keepers-of the park, shov
eled a pile of snow on to the floor of
the cage.
The big fellow then ceased his gyra
tions behfnd the bars of his prison, and,
forgetting all his troubles, he had one
of the best times of his life for about 20
minutes. , He rolled several different
ways at once, waved his paws in tha
air, and buried .his head in the snow,
eating the frozen stuff with delight.
When he had the show packed solid he
tore it up and continued his joyful ma
neuvers, much to the delight of a crowd
of Juvenile spectators.
Owl Also .Tickled.
Another park resident who seemed
particularly pleased with the snow was
the white owL He looked his delight,
spreading his wings and hooting as the
flakes dropped and wefe blown in upon
him.
The three buffaloes lay in the snow
outside their shed, and apparently pre
ferred it to the warmer inside quarters.
The elks and deer did not caro much
whether it rained or snowed. They
stood around in their open sheds or out
side in the snow, not a whit unlike their
asual selves.
"Maggie," tha loquacious magpie, was
thi most communicative creature in the
park. She greeted the keeper with
Hello, Charlie." and "Hello, Hun " told
the curious spectators he saw them, and
saia oucn wnen a com Diasc wouia
reach, him.
The monkeys are kept inside their
back rooms, where the temperature is
kept warm for them. The monkeys do
not care much for the snow. They as
much as said so when the cold came In
through the door. "Joeco," the ring
tailed monkey, and "Dr. Cook" were
particularly in evidence.
Pheasants Are Content.
The Mongolian, ringneck, golden and
copper pheasants are not minding the
snow much, as they have ample shelter
and an abundance of food.
The lion does not seem to like the
snow much, and is rather surly, al
though -his cage is kept warm. He felt
so out of sorts yesterday he refused to
take his usual drink of water.
The Alaskan dogs, foxes and coyotes
are In their element. The Japanese
bears and the wildcat are indifferent.
The badger was timid. "Print e," the
parFot from Peru, counted to ten and let
it go at that.
Many wild pheasants fly into the park
almost every day and eat with the
ducks and other fowls near the pond.
A heavy fine is imposed on any one
found shooting- the .birds, in the city
limits back of the park. Consequently
pheasants by the hundreds are living a
safe existence there, and visit tha park
for their meals.
Charley Hermon. keeper of the zoo, is
anxious to add a pair of cougars to the

SMALL BOY HAS JOY
Coasters Out in Force Wher
ever Sfed Will Slide.
MANY SPILLS MAKE FUN
Various Long - Distance Coasting
Feats Successfully Negotiated to
Great Envy of Possessors of
Slower Means of Travel,
x
Before the police put a stop to coast
ing and bob-sledding last night, some
remarkable things were accomplished
on tiie Johnson-street hill. One heavy
bob-sled succeeded, with the Impetus
gained from a load of 11 passengers,
in flying from Melinda avenue and
Twenty-fifth Btreet down the grade to
Fifteenth street before it stopped. An
other "bob" shot down the Twenty-fifth-street
"hill from Johnson street
beyond Overton street; both these ac
complishments being made safely past
the peril of two streetcar crossings.
Aside, from this, three small boys, on
a "flyer," gained tha envy of all the
other coasters by starting at the top
of the Melinda-avenue hill and turning
at full speed Into Twenty-rirth street,
without spilling as they slued around
the 30-degree angle. '
. These were only a few of the things
that the merry throng- had to its credit
when the sport was stopped. There
was plenty of excitement in races down
the hills, good-fellowship was the most
noticeable thing in the crowd's be
havior, and rosy cheeks and tingling
fingers were' the' rule of the evening.
Also, on the Johnson-street hill, there
were two narrow escapes from serious
accident, one when a heavy "bob"
dodged between a Twenty-third-street
car and a hurrying automobile: and
the other when a small boy, Walter
Ramsey, Just grazed a trolley car, com
ing so close to serious Injury that he
skinned one of his hands on the fen
der of the car.
The escape of the big "bob" seemed
little short of miraculous. The car
was bound north at a good rate e-f
speed, and the motorman failed to slow
down before reaching the crossing of
Twenty-third and Johnson streets, as
most of the others had done during the
evening. A boy acting as a volunteer
flagman at the crossing waved to the
steersman of the bob to swerve into the
bank: but the rapid approach of an
auto on the north side of Johnson
street made this impossible. The
steersman took the long chance, and
maintaining his course straight ahead,
dashed between the automobile and the
car, getting through with but an inch
or two to spare.
One of the- grimly humorous sides
of the sledding, on the Twenty-fifth-street
hill north of Johnson street, was
tue fact that the entire reach of this
slope was visible from the windows of
St. Vincent's Hospital, and in these win
dows were congregated several white
jacketed internes, watching the sport.
Possibly, also, they were looking for
accidents. One nearly, happened when
twt sleds, tied together, crashed into a
barrel of cement half buried in the
snow at one side of the street, and
sent the riders sprawling over the slip
pery surface of the hill. None' was in
jured, however,' and , after rising
anxiously, the surgeons sat down again.
Bob-sledding was also in full sway
last evening and afternoon, on the
Russell -street hill in Albina, on East
Burnside and Belmont streets, on near
ly all the streets on the river hill, iu
South Partland, on the steep inclines of
Portland Heights: and on many othen-.
Everywhere there was the same good
nature, everywhere there was a rivalry
between the owners of the bigger sleds.
And everywhere there'were spills of more
or less seriousness, which were usual
ly greeted with laughs by the people
spilled, and by snowballs volleys from
the spectators. i
As In former years, the costumes of
the boys were varied and picturesque,
running from just ordinary clothes and
a sweater to elaborate tobogganing
costumes. This year's styles in wo
men's clothing, h wever, added a pic
turesque touch to the appearance of
the girls. The long military cape coats,
so generally worn, seemed to be the
favorite garb of the young women, and
proved to be just the thing to tuck in
and sit upon, so that if a spill did oc
cur, they were protected.

BOY'S ODD FORCE
IS!
Ernest Harps, Returned by Dr.
' Gilbert, Valley Hotel
Dishes Dance.
PIE, UNAIDED, SOARS HIGH
Physician Who Watched Lad for
3fonth Blames Strange Power.
Domestic Who Tells of
Shakeup Discharged.
Now that little Ernest Harps, the "nine
days' wonder," has hfen returned' to his
mother at the Valley Hotel and a shakeup
of crockery is reported to have attended
his homecoming. Dr. J. Allen Gilbert, who
watched the boy for a month, says he
believes the Harps manifestations are
caused by an unnamed force. Dr. Gil
bert has not been present at any of the
daylight seances. v-
Mrs. Gilbert, wife of Dr. Gilbert, has
seen enough to convince her that a
mysterious power, which little Ernest
cannot control, hovers over him at times
and causes a 'movement of surrounding
objects. Dr- Gilbert told yesterday of
having found chairs overturned, but de
nied having seen them moving.
Dr. Gilbert was incredulous regarding
. story of the rising and falling of a
pie on a table Saturday at . the Valley
Hotel, where Ernest Is living with his
mother. Mrs. Anna Harps.
But at the home, of Mrs. Josephine
Gillingham. a domestic living at 647
Fourth street and formerly employed at
the, hotel, an entirely different story is
told. Because she told what she knew
about pastry n flying in the air, moved
by unseen hands, and about chairs and
tables overturning at the Valley Hotel
within the last few days, since Ernest
Harps has been returned to his mother,
she was discharged. She was employed
temporarily by Mrs. Harps, who is house
keeDerat the hostelry, to do the work
whlie'the boy's mother Is convalescing
from an illness said to have been caused
primarily by the mysterious shakeup of
October 28 at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Sanders, at 516 Mar
shall street.
Pictures- Take Spasms.
Mrs. Gillingham said chairs and pictures
on the walls of the Valley Hotel quivered
violently when the boy was present, the
pictures swinging straight out in some,
cases. ' She was working with Helen
Sanders, the boy's aimt. at the time and
told the boy to leave the room. When
he returned the furniture was again set
tn motion. She spoke of chairs as "scoot
ing" along the floor before falling upon
their sides or backs. Ioose paper and
books were swept toward the boy, she
declared.' as though blown by a stiff
breeze.
Later in the day, when Mrs. Gillingham
sat down to dinner with Miss Sanders,
J. L. Dernbaclv proprietor of the hotel:
A. Dernbach, his brother, and the hoy
wonder, a lemon p!e roso from the table,
paused in midair and turning completely
over fell on its top on the table. Then
followed a general demolition of dishes.
Pans and kettles fell to the floor with a
bang. A pan filled with dough skidded
from the stove to the floor, and the
silverware jingled merrily, much to the
consternation of those present.
The domestic spoke of Ernest as having
been sick all day. "Ha would cough and
then sneeze. He seemed to be choking,"
she said. "He seemed dazed. Several
times during the day we had to attend
to him, as he fell to the floor groaning
as if in agony."
By her manner Mrs. Gillingham led her
interviewer to believe she had not told
all she knew about the Harps manifesta
tions, although she denied having knowl
edge of any other shakeups than the one
last Saturday.

"Several years ago I was attacked by

every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians.
I received no permanent relief until

The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron and

INFLAMED KIDNEYS
Medical writers declare It incurable
after tiie sixth month whether albumen-

The average man prefers to think of
it as "kidney trouble" and lets It go
but the census shows this appalling
fact out of 63.000 deaths from kidney
troubles the last census year over nine
teriths of them (58.000) took the form
called "Bright s Disease," although it Is
quite probable that nine-tenths of
these up to the list moment thought
of it as and called- It "kidney trouble,"
when as a matter of fact the only
possible hope laid through a specific

There never was one until Fulton
