LINES RUN OUT OF CITY UNHAMPERED Great Northern and Northern Pacific Operate East Over North Bank. COLUMBIA GATEWAY OPEN Paget Bound Traffic Is Handled by AVay or Vancouver, Wash. Tieup Threatens to Resnlt in Shortage of Coal. While the Puget Sound country haa virtually been "bottled up" for the last two weeks on acccount of snow diock ades to Its railroads, the Columbia gateway has been wide open and it has been necessary at times to divert i u get Sound traffic through this territory. This applies particularly to the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific roads, both of which operate tnrougn the Cascades to Puget Sound and both of which also operate directly into Portland over the North Bank road. Both the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific lines between Port land and the Kast are open. They never have been closed as a result of the recent storms. Traffic has moved un interruptedly. Three Lines Suffer. Each of the three roads which serve Puget Sound from the East the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee haa suffered and each has been compelled at times to divert its traffic over the Columbia River road through Vancouver, Wash., to Tacoma and Seattle. Nearly all the snow trouble has been la the vicinity of Ellensburg on the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee and a point north of there on the Great Northern. Eait of that longitude the tracks have been open. So, when the roads became blockaded trains were diverted to the North Bank road at Spokane and sent along the Columbia to Vancouver, thence over the Northern Paclfio to destination. Much of the coal used In the Sound country is procured in the Clo Klura district, in the Cascades. The storm has made It hard to move this fuel. A shortage is feared. It is reported. An order of 20 carloads of coal for Van couver Barracks remains unfilled and danger of shortage presents Itself. No Delays Here. None of the Portland roads has suf fered from the storms. The O.-W. R. & N, which operates in connection with the Union Pacific, has kept open con tinuously, while the Southern Pacific, as well as the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, have not suffered a single delay by reason of the storm that still is holding the Puget Sound country at Its mercy. SXOW HEADED THIS WAY "Weather Man Says Flurries' Will Come With Rain. Indications for weather conditions to day, as promulgated last night by Weather Forecaster Beals, are for little - change. The wind will continue in the south and southwest, with rain ano flurries of snow and, as a matter of fact, it will 'all start as snow, but the temperatures will be such as to prevent it reaching the ground. The wind will be quite brisk, during the day and along the coast a moderate gale may be expected. Mr. Beals said that there was noth ing at the present time to Indicate an early change, but especially at this time of the year changes often quickly arise, so It Is not in the power or province of the Weather Bureau to suggest future conditions more than 24 hours In advance. GUAXTS PASS HAS SXOWFAIX Farmers and Placer Miners Are Jubilant Over Outlook. GRANTS PASS, Or- Jan. 16. (Spe cial.) Snow fell in the valley all day and tonight three Inches rests on the lowland, but In the mountains it is many feet deep. The Crescent City stage over Hayes Hill was drawn through 30 inches of snow today. Lum bermen from Swede Basin report snow five feet deep. The pass on Mule Creek trail out from West Fork is from five to ten feet under snow. Snow has fallen In the' mountains surrounding the valley since early last night. If it continues tomorrow, stage lines will be tied vp and rural deliveries de layed. So much snow In the mountains has not been seen for several years. It is predicted that an early Spring will follow, which means large crops. Placer miners are Jubilant over the big heads of water that have been created and which will last late Into the Spring, in suring a big output from the placer mines. SXOW FALLING IX CASCADES Transcontinental Lines Reported Clear Over Mountains. S BATTLE, Wash- Jan. 16. Although a snow storm was raging In the Cas cade Mountains tonight, all transcon tinental railroads reported their lines clear and overland trains moving over their own tracks. The Great Northern, whose mountain division had been blockaded several days, cleared its line today and tonight's Oriental Limited left "for Chicago on time. The Chicago. Milwaukee & St, Paul and the Northern Pacific reported their trains moving over the mountains with little delay. Reports from the mountains tonight said It was clear and calm all day, but heavy snow began falling at dark. Rain, with occasional snow flurries, fell in the lowlands. SXOW FLURRY HITS ASTORIA Logging Operations Stopped and Construction Work Suspended. ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 16. (Special.) There was quite a flurry of snow this afternoon, but the flakes melted as soon as they struck the ground. In the hills on both sides of the river, how ever, the conditions are different and snow is deeper there then it has been for years. All logging operations are at a stand still and even the work on construct ing and repairing logging railroads has been practically suspended. AID SOCIETY HAS MEETING Superintendent Gardner Report 4 00 Children Placed in Year. The regular monthly meeting of the board of trustees of the Boys and Girls' Aid Society was held yesterday in the chambers of Judge Gilbert. With the president, W. B. Gilbert, in the chair, current bills for the month of December, amounting to 11239.55. after being audited by the executive committee were ordered paid. The su perintendent's report was read, showing that during the past year the society has received into the home and placed 400 children, about 200 of which are new cases committed from the several counties of the state for the first time and the balance were replacements: that is. children who have been re turned from family homes for cause and again placed. This class Is de clare a great hardship to a child placing institution, because often, through their early environment, they have traits of character which are dis tasteful to many and if It we,re not for this class, says the report, there would be seldom more than 20 chil dren on hand at the receiving home. The report shows that the society have received this year EO per cent more donations than in any year since organization- - The board appointed Robert Far- reli. William F. Woodward and Su perintendent Gardner a committee to IUVIV tun me -' the society biennially by the State of Oregon. HEAVY STEEL ORDERED XEW J.I.NE WILL EVTEB PORT LAND ABOUT JULY 1 .

In the absence of J. H. Nolta, who is at Salem, the organization of the "Greater East Side Association." which meets tonight in the rooms of the East Side Business Men's Club, will have to be formed without his guiding hand. Mr. Nolta originated the plan to form an association of delegates from the East Side improvement clubs to plan for developing every section of thai territory east of the Willamette River, supplementary to the work of the Greater Portland Plans Association, as he contended that these plans did not go far enough on the east side of the river. The call for the meeting says: "Each club is requested to send three mem bers to represent It and report on pro posed street widenlngs and other local Improvements desired by the club for your vicinity, also to further study and discuss the commission form of city government and other matters."

The decision, auuwusu . " . i ,satinir of the association, will. according to Mis3 Elizabeth Lewis, of Portland, Its presiueni, gumo in their future conduct. The fact that this organization. which has been mainly depended on to enforce the edicts of the dean among the "co-eds has ignored the new regulations, will make their enforcement practically im possible. ' , The association already has a strict code of laws which are rigidly adhered to by the sororities. These, the girls say. are severe enougn. me j6 men of the universny eircD opinion. The Pan-Hellenic rules are, however, shockingly lenient when com pared with those formulated by Miss Guppy.

With so much grippe prevalent this Winter a few words of advice regard ing Its cause and treatment will not be out of place. Grippe is an Infectious disease easily taken when the system is in a tired or run-down condition. The best means of prevention are to keep the blood in good healthy condi tion, and If the system gets Into a weak, run-down condition, take Vinol, our de licious cod liver and iron tonic A lady from Long Branch, N. J., says: "Grippe left me in a nervous, weak ened, run-down condition. After tak ing three bottles 4f Vinol I am better and stronger than I have been for years, and I cheerfully recommend Vinol to all who have suffered from the grippe and need strength." (Name furnished on request.) We have never sold in our store such a valuable strength creator and health restorer for the convalescent, the weak and run-down as Vinol, and your money will be returned If it does not do all we claim for it.
