the switches but no serious damages were
incurred.
A a result of the extreme cold, which

klifeboat, tout no signs of them were
raeen after the vessel went down.

which blew off the coast during No

SNOW MANTLE OVER CITY

he doubled many of the cars leaving
the down-town terminals after 4 o'clock.
Streetcars Delayed.
The worst difficulty encountered by the
streetcar people was in the St. John arid
Vancouver lines, whero the winds piled
up. the drifting snow and caused a num
ber of cars to turn back. Trouble was
also encountered on the Mount Tabor
line from Bast Thirty-ninth to East
Fiftieth street, that portion of the line
being entirely out of commission for sev
eral hours early In the evening. The
Rose City Park division was stuck from
3 to 5 In the afternoon.
Railway trains on the various roads
centering at the Union Station were not
largely delayed by the- storm of yester
day, but should It continue without
abatement during the day, it may be ex
pected that many passenger trains will
be greatly behind schedule and some
abandoned.
As Indicating that Christmas shopping
was all but abandoned in the downtown
district yesterday, It was found that the
ales of Red Cross stamps at the vari
ous stands throughout the city fell off
more than 60 per cent.
Snow Will Continue.
At 11 o'clock In the morning the wind
reached a velocity of 34 miles an hour
and came directly from the east. It
brought the driving snow at 11:30. At 4
in the afternoon the wind had abated to
20 miles an hour, and the warm atmos
phere from the Pacific was causing a fall
ing barometer, indicating that there
would be plenty of snow this morning.
At the office of the Weather Bureau it
was learned that in November. 1S37, Port
land received a visitation of three inches
of snow. Back in 1SS7 there was two
Inches in November, but this storm is the
first of record in the early part of De
cember. At the theaters last night the crowds
were very light, while the matinee, at
tendance was one of the smallest in the
history of Portland play-houses.
s Streets to Be Cleared.
Mayor Simon and Samuel Connell,
chairman of the street-cleaning committee
of the Executive Board, announced yes
terday afternoon that every man In the
department will be concentrated in the
down-town districts to assist in keeping
the streets open, if the snow continues
and such action Js made necessary.
Superintendent Donaldson was ordered
to use every means at his command to
the end that the congested streets be
kept clear.
Trains from the East were slightly de
layed on the lines of the Oregon Railroad
A Navigation Company lat night, but
other trains were on time. If the storm

Among the disadvantages of the snow
storm is the effect it is having on the
prices of food commodities. The receipts
of what is known as local produce have
been cut off. and with Some uncertainty
as to their replenishment, the Front
street jobbers have advanced their prices
of potatoes, onions and similar products.
These are articles that cannot be gath
ered or shipped to market safely in a low
temperature. The advances range from
10 to 15 per cent. There Is no danger of a
famine, however, no matter how long the
cold weather lastft. as supplies can be
obtained from more distant sections.
Butter prices will be advanced Monday
morning 2 cents a pound to 39 cents,
wholesale. The supply has been barely
equal to the demand in the past week am
now the coltl weather will still further
decrease it. A sharp advance in eggs
can also be expected if the cold wave
stays with us. There are very few Ore
gon eggs to be had now and as Eastern
eggs are not very plentiful, Oregon ranch
eggji command a good premium. The
genuine Oregon article sells for 50 cents
In the retail stores. During the col8 snap
last year the price went as high as 75
cents and it may repeat the performance
this season.
Things are shaping themselves for an
all around advance in the meat market.
The price of livestock is climbing every
week and soon after the first of the year
it is probable the butchers will be notified
by the packers of a general rise in all
fresh meats.
SXOW MUST Blf CLEANED OFF
Chler Cox Orders Police to Enforce
City Ordinances.
Cognizance of the weather was taken
yesterday by Chief of Police Cox, who,
as a reminder to the patrolmen of the
department, posted an order directing
their attention to the strict enforce
ment of the ordinances relating to snow
and Ice on the sidewalks.
These provide that snow must be re
moved within the first four hours of
daylight after snow stops falling and
that Ice must be removed within the
first three hours of daylight after for
mation or must be covered wtlh sand,
ashes or some other substance to make
walking safe.
MILLS MAY STOP WORK
GRAYS HARBOR OPERATORS
SAY PRICES ARE TOO LOW.
Official Announcement Expected
Soon Agreements in Past Rave
Been Broken. ' .
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Dec. 4. (Spe
cial.) Because of the existing- low
prices of lumber and the general poor
condition of the market on the Pacific
Coast, It was stated tonight, on good
authority, that owners on Grays Harbor
have agreed to close all the mills for
30 days, beginning December 24.
It is pointed out that present prices
favor only the buyer, who is quick to
take advantage of the situation, with
resulting loss to the mill man. A mill
owner declared tonight that few of
the score of mills In this district were
making money. Some were running
about even, while others were running
behind. It Is conceded here that the
situation for the manufacturer, at least,
is bad and that a shut-down such as
is contemplated would have a beneficial
effect, considering the great output
which Grays Harbor controls.
On the other hand, it Is contended
by some that the co-operation of mill
owners is an idle dream, if past events
are to be taken as a basis for judg
ment. General shut-downs. It Is said,
have been attempted before, but al
ways there were two or three mills
which continued.
In this instance, however, a shut
down of many of the mills seems a cer
tainty, and the official announcement
will be of vital import to thousands of
employes. It Is expected within a week.

HEALTH OF ANIMALS BEST
BECAUSE OF GOOD DIGESTION
. An interesting Interview was recent
ly obtained with L. T. Cooper, whose
theory and medicines have created such
a sensation during the past year.
Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: "My medi
cine regulates the stomach. Tht is why
it is successful. The human stomach
today has become degenerate, and is the
cauBe for most ill health. In the horse,
the dog, and the wild animals general
ly, you see no nerve exhaustion, no
chronic debility. They are not shut up
day after day with practically no exer
cise, and they are not able to stuff
themselves with food when their bodies
have not had enough work to Justify it.
The human race ras been doing this for
years, and look at the result half the
people are complaining of poor health,
not real illness just a half-sick, tired,
droopy feeling. They don't really know
what is the matter with them.
"I know that all the trouble Is caused
by weak, overworked stomachs. 1 have
proved this with my medicine to many
thousands of people in most of the lead
ing cities of the country. This Is the
real reason for the demand for my
preparation."
Among those who have recently been
converted to Cooper's theory Is Mr. S.
W. Beckham, of Aberdeen, Miss., who
says: "I have Just spent four miserable
years asking and searching for relief
from indigestion and stomach trouble.
I can not describe the suffering I have
been through. My health was under
mined, and I could see myself rapidly
failing. I could neither eat, sleep nor
work. The little food I did manage to
swallow gave me the greatest distress.
"I consulted physicians, but their
a half interest in the club to Victor Lord,
a Vancouver real estate man, the eale
price being reported to be about $4500.
The Vancouver club lost money last sea
son and' toward the end of August or
early in September Mr. Johnson, of Van
couver, Lord's father-in-law. is said to
have advanced $4000 to the Vancouver
owners, Dickson and Lord.
At the annual meeting of the North
western League directors in Seattle last
October, the Vancouver franchise was
turned over to Mr. Johnson by Dickson
and Lord and this sale was ratified by
the league.

High Schools Will Debate.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Lec. 4. (Spe
cial.) The- first inter-high school de
bate of this school year will be held
in the High School auditorium of thi3
city on the evening of December 10
between representatives of the Van
couver and Castie Rock High Schools.
ne question for debate will be: "Re
solved, Th:.t cities of the Northwest
containing 50,000 inhabitants or over
should adopt the commission form of
government modeled after the Des
Moines plan"; provided that the nega-
medicine did no good. I tried out
numerous remedies, with a like result.
I was at the end of my string, my
pocketbook emptied, and I was In a
worse condition than ever. I gave up
in despair; there seemed to be no hope
left, and I was completely discouraged.
"A friend came to me and urged me
to try Cooper's New Discovery medi
cine. I threw up my hands in disgust
what was the use? His sincerity im
pressed me, and I finally decided to
take another chance, and bought one
bottle of the New Discovery. I had no
idea that it would help me. but It did.
"From the first day I could notice an
improvement, and by the time the first
bottle had been emptied there was a
very noticeable change for the better.
My bowels were thoroughly cleansed,
my stomach felt easier and retained
food, and my digestive organs began
to perform their functions properly.
My sleep became restful and refreshing.
I developed a good appetite, and soon
discovered that I could eat anything I
cared for and as much as I wanted,
without a thought of distress after
ward. "Imagine how good everything tasted
to a man who had been on the verge of
starvation for four years. My strength
soon returned, and I continued until I
had taken four bottles. I am now en
tirely well never felt better in my life.
All my former trouble has disappeared.
I owe it all to Cooper's New Discovery,
and would be ungrateful, indeed, if I
failed to give praise where it is due.
"I make this statement purely from a
sense of duly. To any one who is suf
fering in any way from stomach trouble
I can recommend thla Cooper medicine."
Cooper'j New Discovery is sold by all
druggists everywhere.

government. Miss Mabel Hllstrom,
Miss Frances Stone and Lester Wood
will speak for Vancouver.

Remarkable Electric Device To

That Quickly Restores

A. Beat Treatment For Rheumatism.
We want to call the attention of
our readers to a remarkable electric
device which seems already to have
exploded many pet theories of phy
sicians and scientists, and to have
produced positive wonder to those
who have used it.
This new invention is called Elec
tropodes, which comes in pairs,
both producing together, it is stated,
an unnoticeable yet effective current
throughout the entire body, per
meating the vital organs, purifying
and correcting diseased conditions,
regulating vital functions and
strengthening the nerves almost
beyond, description.
It proves at last that electricity is
not only life but health, and vigor
unsurpassed. It has already pro
duced astonishing results in Stomach
and Liver Troubles, Kidney Com
plaints, Back Pains. Lumbago. In
somnia, Weak Heart, Rheumatism. .
Nervous Prostration, Neuralgia and
Weak Nerves.
These results are not fanciful but
already proven. For those who have
relied on medicines for rinlng the
above diseases, these Klectropodcs
come as a distinct revelation.
Those who wear them report an
inexpressible new feeling of glow
and health to every organ, the
nerves, and entire body. Nothing)
like it has ever been found.
Electropodes are peculiar metallio
insoles in appearance, insulated and
so placed in the heels of the shoes
as to be unnoticeable to the wearer.
They are never uncomfortable; in
deed, were It not for the glow of
energy and health you .would never
know you had them on. They are
different from any other electric de
vice in that they produce a current
only when in actual use.
Electropodes have already been
distributed so that you can now get
them at any drug store at $1.00 a
pair. To prove to you that they do
.the wonderful things claimed for
them, the druggist signs a legal
binding contract that if you are not
perfectly satisfied with the Electro
podes at the end of 30 days, your
money will be refunded.
If your druggist should not have
Electropodes on hand, have him order
them from
