we sclJom hare fogs, or a heavy cold moist

describe Iho climate and weather as we

the recent snow fell to tho depth of ten or
twclvo inches along the Willamette in
Washington and Clackamas counties.
The snow, however, increased in depth
towards tho mountains in both directions,
until in the settlements nearest tho Cs

was from two to thrco fee: deep. Hut in
ascending the valley tho depth of iho snow
diminished, until in tho upr counties
thero was litlln or none ; and that little

it is ovident that a dozen different individ
