NO RELIEF SEEN
FRU GOLD SNAP
New Year's Icy Blasts Cause
Suffering in Sections
of State.
PORTLAND NOTICES CHILL
H 010 Weather, However, Did Xot
Reach Record Made January 12,
Last Year, When Mercury
Fell to 6 Above Zero.
With general reports of coal short
age, stock suffering and vegetation in
jured, Oregon and parts of Southeast
ern Washington are experiencing the
coldest weather in many years and
there is no promise of immediate re
lief. Portland, though suffering chilly
weather since Saturday, has not really
felt the cold snap, which has been gen
eral In other portions of the State of
Oregon.
Baker City reports the coldest
weather of the Winter, with the mer
cury registering around zero. Coal is
short and wood is selling at high
prices, owing to the difficulty in ob
taining it. Pendleton is enjoying
sleighing for the third time this year,
but reports that the Fall-sown grains
have not been injured.
Fruitgrowers in the vicinity of The
Xalles report that they will not suffer
so long as the thermometer registers
8 degrees above the zero point. The
Dalles enjoyed a light snowfall and
the streetB are Icy.
The Rogue River Valley has been
Jilt by the end of the Northern cold
wave, a light snow being followed by
a freeze.
Southeastern Washington is ex
periencing its coldest weather of the
Winter, Walla Walla reporting 14 de
grees above zero, with prospects of
reaching zero today. Stock is said to
be suffering.
Marshneld tide lands at low tide yes
terday were covered with ice, in the
coldest weather experienced in years.
Water pipes throughout the city were
frozen up and vegetation, it is feared,
will be injured.
The New Year opened In Portland
with a strong north wind, which
brought the coldest snap the city has
experienced this Winter, the wind
blowing a gale at times, making the
cold more noticeable.
But with all that Portland was much
warmer than cities along the Sound, on
the eastern side of Oregon and to the
south. The' cold snap of yesterday did
not come anywhere near the record in
Portland, which was reached on January
32 last year. That day the mercury -fell
to 6 degrees above the zero mark and
was the coldest day in 21 years. But
yesterday was the tifth coldest January
2 since the Weather Bureau began to
keep records. At 5 A. M. the tempera
ture registered at 24 degrees and at 12
noon 30 degrees.
"All sections of Oregoni Washington
end Idaho experienced cold weather last
night and yesterday," said District Fore
caster Beals. "In Southern Idaho the
temperature fell to 10 degrees above zero
and at Baker City the Government ther
mometer read 6 degrees above zero at 5
P. M. The cold east winds have caused
temperatures ranging between 30 and 34
degrees along the entire coast between
Cape Flattery and Coos Bay. In the ag
ricultural sections east of the Cascade
Mountains & light fall of snow preceded
the cold spell, but probably there are
many places where the fall was too light
to prevent the ground from freezing. The
last reports from the Alaska stations
show a falling barometer, and it is not
probable that the cold weather In this
district will last very long. The winds
have moderated, and, while the cold con
tinues, it is not being felt to the extent
it would have been had the high winds
continued."
BLIZZARI) STRIKES PALOTJSE

SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 2. (Specials
