THE -SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 3, 1907. DEEP SNOW IN ' EASTERN OREGON Stockmen Apprehensive as They See Haystacks Dwin dle and Storm Continue. SEVERE STORM IN MONTANA Temperature Ranges to 4 5 Below Zero, and Great Northern Trains Are Tied X"p Bitter Cold ut Hutle. THE DALLES, Or., Feb. 2.-Special.) The second heavy bhow storm of the Winter set in here early this mornlnsr nnrt has continued all day, until nine inches are added to the remnant ot last neck's snow maklner fully a foot and a half on the level tonight. It is snowing lipnvilv with no slim of a let-up. From the interior the snow in reported n heavv and drifting before an east -wind. Stockmen are Browing apprehen sive, as feeding, on account of the dry Fall and short grass, began earlier than tissual. For weeks now feeding has been general and stacks are rapidly dwindling In the Antelope country, where the feed supply has in many cases been exhausted, sheepmen are moving their nocks to Sher man County, where an ample supply of ay is available. Prices, however, have advanced from JS to J12 a ton. The main lines of the O. R. & M. Com pany east of here are free-tonisht after a two days' tie-up from melting snow, which weakened many bridges alons the Columbia between Deschutes and Uma tilla. The branch roads to Heppner, Shanlko and Dufur are still out of com mission and through connections over the Columbia Southern and the Croat South- rn cannot be counted on before Monday or Tuesday. STOCKJI EX WITHOUT FEED Heavy Suffering AV111 Result From Severe Storm in Montana. CHKAT FALLS, Mont., Feb. 2. The oliioors of the Montana Central Railroad here have been informed that the Great Northern is again tied up by a blizzard. The line from Great Falls to Lethbrldge is out of business and it is stated that in Iji'thbridKo the worst storm in 20 years has made it necessary to close the coal mines there for two days past. From all over Northern Montana came reports yesterday of increasing cold and snow. In Valley County the temperature r::ni?ed close to 4." degrees below zero. The cattlemen of that section have given up hope of saving stock, for which hay is not procurable. The extremely cold wave, following n;on the heels of the chlnook of several ilays ago. has played havoc with the ranges, coating the grass with thick frozen snow, so hard "aa to defy- any scrapers which may have been used by Mockmen to expose spots for feeding. In the northern sections of the state the cattle vractlcally subsist on what grazing the open ranges afford, and as these are covered with ice and snow, the losses will be heavy, especially in viey of the prolonged siege to w:hich the stock has been subjected by the recent blizzards. The car scarcity will be keenly felt by the stockmen of Northern Montana, who. If rolling stock could be had, would be enabled to save portions of their herds by shipping to Eastern Montana points where feed is available. Applications for cars thus far have met with tardy re sponse, as in most cases the railroads are practically tied up by snow and the movement of any kind of traffic is prac tically impossible. 3IEISCIRV WHOPS WITH Til I'D Bitter fold in Butte, Witlt Practi cally Xo Coal to Be Had. BUTTE. Mont., Feb. 2. This city and section of the state is in the grasp of a bitterly cold wave which struck Butte about noon, since which time the tem perature lias been falling with a thud. In the city it is several degrees below zero, while on the fiat it is 10 below, and these fisnires will be exceeded before morning, judging from the rate the mer cury is descending. (.oul is very scarce In Butte, it being piacucany impossible to secure it in more than one-ton lots. Several mines have been forced to partially close because of iacK or xuei.

(Special.) x nere was a sudden drop In the tern perature here last evening, which was followed today by biting weather, ac companied by wind and snow. Prior to the cold snap, which is a forerun ner of a cold wave, a rain fell through out this section of the state and in Washington, forming a crust on the srtow, making the ranges practically useless for grazing purposes. This adds to the woes of the sheep and cattle men. Sheep are dying of hunger by the hundreds In the Grande P.onde .country in Washington, and the Salmon River country In Idaho, to the south of Lewiston. In the latter coun try cattio are dropping dead all over the ranges from exhaustion and cold. The thaw weakened the ice on the smaller streams, and several stage coaches have already gone through while attempting to cross, and several teams in the Grangevllle country have been drowned, besides drivers and pas sengers almost losing their lives. John Wilkes, driver of the mail stage between Stltes and GrangevilUr was thrown from his box and, falling un der the horses, was trampled in the mud, water and ice of Three-Mile Creek. Had not a farmer come to his rescue he would have been drowned. The Grangeville-White Bird stage driver lost his leaders and swing horses by their going under the ice in Johns 'reek, three miles from Grangevllle. The several occupants of the coach, together with the mail, came near be ing lost. Berth the Snake and Clearwater Rlv- ers are rising, the latter being four feet higher than it was four days ago. I P to 11 o clock this evening: about two inches of snow had fallen since about 7 o'clock, with indications that the fall will continue all night. The mercury is steadily dropping.
