Tonight a light snow set in and the
weather moderated.
BEND. Or., Dec. 9. (Special.)
Starting shortly after midnight, snow
fell steadily through the early morn
ing and continued without respite
through the day. totaling 28 inches by
5 o'clock this afternoon. The water
equivalent was .8 of an inch. The fall
is the heaviest in four years.
Apparently working south. the
torm did not hit Fort Hock. 60 miles
south of here, until 8 o'clock this
niornhig. Streets were practically
blocked to motor traffic here, and
snow plows were used on the side
walks when shovels failed to clear a
path for pedestrians.
The most noticeable effect of the
storm was seen at the plant of the
Bend Water, Light and Power com
pany, where one-third of the normal
water flow passed through the tur
bines this afternoon. Snow and slush
dams across tributaries of the Des
chutes are believed to have been the
cause of the reduction from the nor
mal, as the cold, although Intense dur
ing the last few days, has hardly
been sufficient to halt the rapid cur
rent of the river.
It was found necessary to cut off
the power furnished the Brooks-Scan-lon
Lumber company plant, only the
mill continuing in operation, while at
both the Brooks-Scanlan plant and the
Shevlin-Hixon mill it was feared that
work would be stopped entirely to
night because of the depth of snow in
the yards.
The storm recalls to the memory of
old timers the winter of 1884-85, when
in one continued fall a four-foot snow
was precipitated, the mercury fell to
25 below, and cattle and horses died
by hundreds.
PENDLETON, Or.. Dec. 9. (Spe
cial.) Pendleton is today in the grip
of a severe snow storm and the cold

ture has dropped to 6 above on two
different occasions, on the night of
November 26 and early in the morn
ing of December 7.
Today's highest reading is only 11
above, which is 6 degrees colder than
the previous low daytime tempera
ture. Snow began falling about 8
o'clock in the morning in fine sifting
flakes, and by 3 in the afternoon
covered the ground to a depth of three
Inches and was still falling.
i Pendleton folks will have an oppor
tunity to enjoy ice skating within a
couple of days, for high school boys
today began the flooding or tneir oig

or more In extent and it is believed
it can easily be flooded and frozen
for skating.

dealers do not expect further ship
ments until the last of the week.
There is no suffering reported so far.

snowfall in years last night and this
morning. After a week of cold
weather snow commenced to fall last
night, and a 'heavy snowfall con
tinued all night and was still falling

a depth of 12 inches. This is the
heaviest snow in 20 years and is the
heaviest in December within the
memory of the ' oldest resident. The
snow is quite dry.
Logging operations of this vicinity
are closing down until after the first
of the year as a result of the heavy
early snowfall, wiich has attained a
depth of several feet on the hills.

ASTORIA, Or.. Dec. 9. (Special.)
Astoria is running a close race with
the Dakotas in the weather game, and
today has been staging a snow storm
that is almost a blizzard of the genu
ine middle states type. The snow
storm, which started with a few flur
ries last evening and has continued
today, is the first Astoria has seen in
three years, and by far the heaviest
in a quarter of a century.
The strong northeast wind which
sprang up during the night caused
the snow to drift into piles from
three to four feet deep, while the
average snowfall wa& approximately
seven inches. In addition, the mer
cury dropped to 22 degrees above zero,
the coldest by several degrees of the
present season thus far.
All the public schools of the city
closed today, and no attempt was
made to operate the street cars. In
the forest-covered hills, on both sides
of the river, the snowfall was much
heavier than here, and as a result
practically all the logging camps have
suspended operations. The snow is
unusually dry and as the ground
underneath iS frozen solid the indi
cations are it will remain several days
uness the wind should shift suddenly
to the south and bring a heavy rain.
This evening the wind nnd snow
storm moderated materially.
TILLAMOCK Or., Dec 9. (Spe
cial.) It has been snowing all day
here. About six inches has fallen.
CHEHAL1S. Wash.. Dec 9. (Spe
cial. ) Snow to a depth of more than
a foot banketed all this section of the

night about 9 o'clock. . AH the saw
mills and logging camps are closed
down as a result and transportation
of all kinds is seriously impaired.
During the day the snow continued to
fail.

the present snowfall has "been the
longest and most unusual known in
this part of the state for years, there
being heavy frosts nightly and freez
ing weather that has proved serious
to a variety of industries.
CENTRALIA. Wash.. Dec 9. (Spe
cial.) Six inches of snow fell in Cen
tralia during the night. Up to noon

the downfall. !
CARLTON, Or.. Dec. 9. (Special.)

o'clock last night and is still falling
at 8 o'clock. The snow is very fine
and now covers the ground to a depth
of six inches. The thermometer
stands at 20 above.
- As there was no thawing during
the freezing weather, fall grain is not
hurt. ' Skating, which has been the
sport of the younger set for the past
ten days, will now give way to tobog
ganing.
WALLA WALLA," Wash., Dec. 9.

this morning. Walla Walla had its j
ntn day or winter. It was the fourth

four to five inches of snow. Farmer
are now engaged in getting feed to
their livestock.

Roy Van Xest Located in Ruins of
Drug Store Gutted by Fire.
PASCO, Wash., Dec 9. (SpeciaL)
After working in a blizzard of con
siderable proportions volunteer work
ers located the body of Roy Van Nest

Pasco drug store basement. Young
Van Nest is the 16-year-old boy who
lost his life when the drug store, post-
office, Bank of Pasco and several
other buildings were destroyed by fire
last night. Evidently the boy had
been killed by the explosion in the
basement of the drug store, which
caused the fire which resulted in the
destruction of so much property.
The postoffice has been located
temporarily in the Masonic building
and the bank is preparing to open for
business in the Telephone building as
soon as the vault in the burned build
ing can be opened.

ML Tabor cars were going to East

Patton road, Hawthorne avenue was
tied up at East Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-sixth by derailments. Mount
Scott was also out of commfssloii be
yond Anabel station for a similar rea
son. Richmond was being operated
through to East Thirty-third. Wood
stock was clear to East Forty-first,
where another derailment blocked
traffic beyond that point.
Hourly service was being given on
the Vancouver line. Sellwood service
was cut down to 20-minute headway.
The company had four big power
brooms and six powerful snowplows
out all day and all night, together
with salt cars on each of the four di
visions. One hundred of the large four-motor
cars were operated tandem over all
lines during the night and emergency
track gangs were out on the firing
line throughout the night, large num
bers of ex-service men having been
added to the regular track crews.
Every extra man that could be round
ed up was put to work clearing the
tracks.
Antos Add to Trouble.
The greatest trouble was encoun
tered" through freezing switches and
the heavy automobile and taxicab
traffic which packed the freezing
snow into the car tracks and resulted
in dozens of derailments and prostra
tion of service in all parts of the city.
Motor cars without exception followed
the ear tracks after the company had j
cleaned off the snow and this motor ,
traffic was continually hampering the I
company in its efforts to provide serv- j
ice for the thousands who were caught
downtown and depended upon the
street cars to get home.
The much-abused Birney safety
cars p"roved valiant snowbuckers and
none of them had any serious diffi
culty in making headway, much to
the surprise of the operating officials
of the company.
According to observations at the
local weather bureau, the storm orig
inated in a low pressure area that
bore down upon the coast country
from the ocean, and that did not ex
tend any appreciable distance inland.
Early yesterday weather observers
were of the opinion that the storm
would moderate and turn to rain
some time during the day, but late
last night they reversed their opinion
and decreed Portland to be in for
"quite a spell of weather."
Not only was the snowfall heaviest
yesterday of any ..December day on
record for Oregon, save in 1909, but
the thermometer came xjlose to a
minimum record for that month.
There has been but one colder De
cember day recorded, in 1884, when
the mercury sank to 12 degrees above.
And but one other day approaches the
record of yesterday for any Decem
ber, that of the same month in 1880
when 19 degrees above was the mini
mum. Of course there has been cold
er weather in other months, as for
example January 12, 1916. when the
mercury touched 13 degrees above
and January, 1S88, when it estab-
ished the notable record of two de
grees below.
At the wave of winter s wand Port
land became a city transformed. Over
the brown dead leaves and the green
lawns was spread the cold whiteness
of mid-winter. Down the stretches
of wind-whipped pavement the eddies
danced and whirled. Pedestrians with
fuzzy coats and turned-up collars be
came, very personable imitations of
Santa Claus straight from the pole.
Stores Have Bijr Business.
Every department store drove a
thriving business and not in the
Christmas goods departments. And
the same applied to the shoe stores.
for all Portland went shopping for
rubbers and overshoes yesterday. Fur
coats that have lain in the pungent
embrace of moth balls ever since
the owners emigrated from the east
came suddenly, out of hermitage and
were pressed into welcome service
against the storm.
The children had their own ideas
about the whim of the weather. They
welcomed ia with unanimous whoops
and utter disregard of the parental
mandates to be careful and not catch
cold, and every last one of them ut
tered the fervent wish that it might
continue to snow until the drifts were
not less than six feet deep. They
snowballed and slid and dumped snow
down unsuspecting necks, and acted
in accordance with the best traditions
ROBUST CHILDREN
A child should hot look pale,
thin or worn. Such condition
denotes malnutrition. To
keep up growth and robust
ness a child needs a pleni
tude of food rich in vitamins.
Scott's Emulsion
abundant in growth-promoting
properties, is an ideal supple
mental food that could well be
a part of the diet of every
growing child.
Children always) do well

plucking his geese."
Auto Traffic Hampered.
The street cleaning department
mobilized its forces early in the
morning and applied its energies to
keeping the crossings open. No extra
men were employed, the regular force
being deemed sufficient to cope with
the situation as it existed yesterday.
Automobile traffic 'Was cut down
to a minimum by the storm, both in
the city proper and along the roads
leading to it. The approaches to the
city, motorists reported, were banked
deep with snow and in many instances
were almost impassable. In places
the highways were swept bare of
enow by the broom of the wind, but
in others the hedges and ditches
banked it deep across the thorough
fare. Train service was impaired to some
extent, particularly on the O.-W. R.
& N. line to Huntington, where the
trains drove through deep drifts
banked by the wind that came up the
Columbia. Connecting trains from
the east were reported from nine to
18 hours late.
Storm reports from various districts
over the northwest chronicle the clos
ing down of logging operations and
various industrial plants, owing to the
severity of the storm. Locally the
plants of the Northwest Steel com
pany and the G. M. Standifer Ship
building corporation were closed by
the storm.
According to the weather predic
tions the storm has not yet reached
its crest. While Portland can manage
to make shift somehow, until the green
grass shows again and the overcoats
are unbuttoned, there arecertain little
residents of the city that will be hard
pressed until the weather moderates.

respect.

Situation Serious -in Parts of Mon
. tana, Washington, Idaho, Due
to Coal Shortage.
SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 9. From
the Cascade mountains of central
Washington to the eastern boundary
of Montana. ' temperatures far below
any experienced at this time fit the
year for SO years, were recorded.
Trains were delayed by snow and
cold. Cries for fuel went to Helena
from many communities in Montana,
and in response. M. H. Gerry. Jr.,
Montana state fuel administrator, is
sued a statement tonight describing
the situation as critical, particularly
ns recrards northern Montana.
In Butte, where thousands of min
ers are out of work because of the
enforced shutdown of most of the
mines, the situation tonight seemed
somewhat brighter. The campaign ,
of relief inaugurated by the citizens" j
committee, and warmer temperature I
tonight, together with reports that n '
small supply of coal was in transit,
relieved the feelings of the local fuel
administration. The last pound of
coal in the ?lty was distributed this
afternoon, but ten carloads of "'mine
run" coal are expected to arrive to
morrow. The situation at Billings and Great
Falls Is materially improved, in both
cases due to the work of the volun
teer miners who are turning out coal
at Sand Coulee, near Great Falls, and
at Bear Creek, near Billings. The
Billings city council repealed an
emergency closing ordinance tonicrht,
but a local priority order was given
the fuel administrator. Volunteers at
Sand Coulee turned out 122 tons of
coal today and will renew their ef
forts with reinforcements tomorrow.
Lewiston. Mont., adopted a closing
ordinance applying to all business
houses, except hotels, restaurants and
theaters. Banking hours were cur
tailed. A report late tonight indicated a
blizzard at Moscow, Idaho, with the
temperature 15 degrees below zero.

tion was not regarded &3 serious, al
