SAYS WEATHER MAN
There is a possibility of having
some skating soon. District
Forecaster B. A. Brals of the
weather bureau holds out hope
In predicting a S2 degree tem
perature for tonight. And he
says It was down to the 32 de
gree mark early this morning.
This morning was the coldest
this winter. A dense fog helped
to make the cold doubly pene
trating and those .not provided
with heavy clothing were ac
tively engaged in shivering until
later In the day the sun enme out
and dispelled the chill.
Last winter Portland enjoyed
little weather below the freezing
point and the skating was ac
cordingly poor.

New York, Nov. 27. In an article to
be published In the December number
of the World's -Work. John D. Rocke
feller declares It Is better to give than
to receive. He says the novelty of be
ing able to purchase everything one de
sires soon passes, and that what people
most seek Is not buyable. He also (jives
a little advice, and among other things
says:
"Don't begin business with the idea
of getting all out of the world by hook
or crook tliat vou can. Rather con
sider. 'Where can I be most effective
in the work of the world?" The only
way in which one can secure the real
equivalent of money spent Is by culti
vating a t.iste for giving where money
win produce effect, ana wnere it will
tie a lifeloiiK gratification.

North ank Officials Doubt
If Such Cars Would Be
Profitable at Present.
Rumors that the North Bank road In
tended operating gasoline motor cars
between Portland and Vancouver by
way of the new bridges were denied to
day by officials of the road. Although
the plan of running a motor car service
between Vancouver and Portland has
been suggested to the officials, they
have not officially considered It and
stated that In their opinion the service
would not pay, even if they had the
cars to operate with.
Both passenger and freight service
over the new line between Portland and
Pasco has been heavier than was ex
pected by the officials. There Is com
paratively little through freight as yet,
but the new line seems to be breaking
even with the others in that respect.
The maU contracts, excepting for a
portion of the Portland-Spokane mail
and that for way stations along the
line, have not yet been signed. A por
tion of the through mall for the east Is
carried by the North Bank, but the gov
ernment is prohibited under present con
ditions from paying more for a carload
of mail than for a box full and the bulk
of the through service will continue to
go to the O. R. & N for the present.
