Great transplanted blizzards! Is this
Portland", Or., or Utica. N. Y.. in
deed? Close that door there, and put
another stick on the fire! And con
found a Democratic Administration!
Thirteen above sero, eight Inches of
snow, a biting east wind at 20 freez
ing miles an hour, and father mum
bling heavily as the bathroom faucet
declines to thaw a jolly combination
to read about in dear old Chicago or '
Kalamazoo, where they're used to that
sort of thing, y'know, but shockingly
out of place in this paradise on earth,
where annual precipitation is measured
in honest rainfall and not in melted
snow.
13 Above Is Official Word.
Thirteen above zero! That is what
the Government thermometer in the
Portland weather office recorded about
the time you awoke yesterday and
groaningly crawled out to build the
fire.
That popular abstraction, the mer
cury, stopped at that low mark for
this equable clime at exactly S oclock
A. M.. after having dropped steadily
through the night. It remained at 13
degrees until after 8 o'clock, when it
grudgingly started upwards.
The temperature for the whole day
had a range of only four degrees. Ths
maximum, reached at 4 o'clock and
continuing until 7. was 17 above zero.
Temperature Triumphs Again.
At 7:30 o'clock last night, when the
final reading for the night was taken
In the office of the weather bureau,
the temperature had dropped back to
13 again, with promise of going still
lower. It had then fallen four degrees
in 30 minutes.
Persons who think the Government
thermometer, from its" comparatively
sheltered position on top of the Custom
House. takes an optimistic view of the
situation will have the cordial indorse
ment of all suburbanites.
Unofficial but perfectly conscien
tious thermometers in the Rose City
Park, Mount Tabor, Montavilla, Port
land Heights and other seotions wherei
the east wind had full sweep, recordeii
temperatures ranging all the way from
12 to 2 degrees above zero.
