GOOD MEN MEN Three Inches of "Beautiful" ; Likely toBe Added to Tonight. Another manla of snow covered tho streets , of Pontland this morning and unlike that of the preceding day, did not melt Immediately, the temperature hov ering around the f reeling . point, al though In the streets where the traf fic Is heavy, it became a slush mixed with .mud, making walking ' difficult, and Interfering with car traffic. In Portland the snowfall amounted to three Inches, up to 10 o'clock this morn ing, according to weather bureau, rec ords, although in the Outlying districts, especially on the higher ground, vnora snow fell. Occasional little flurries fell during the forenoon.' The weather man says that the conditions favor moro snow or rain tonight and tomorrow,' ac companied by westerly winds. While thereVwere flurrlus yesterday afternoon and evening, the greater part of the snow fell after mldjilgnt and the temperature went down to 82 degrees at about '5:80 o'clock this morning, remaining-at that point for several hours. There were blustery winds yesterday, but they Were not of a damaging na ture. ., The weather man says that the tem perature will probably go bolow freezing point tonight, going as low and maybe a little lower than last night He says that as the indications are for snow to night.

GROVE. 26c. At a special meeting vestorAnv after. noon of the municipal civil service com- imasiun a yoie or mantes was tendered to Major James P. Kennedy, the secre tary, wnose resignation becomes effec tive next month. The commission filed Its annual report "In our opinion," reads the report, "It will be necessary before long to amend .the city charter to admit employment of paid examiners. Examinations held weekly during the year are marked by employes of ' municipal departments. This affords opportunity for unfair markings, as the handwriting of some of the applicants may be recognized by friendly markers. We do not believe this has ever been the case, but the opportunity Is always present "The records of the commission show many temporary appointments. The theory Is to allow the work of various municipal departments to proceed with out hindrance when there are no eligi ble for positions to be filled. Perhaps the principal reason for such temporary appointments is that the engineering and inspection work of the city calls for Just the class of, men that is In great demand at all times by railroads and other large employers, especially when spring opens. Private corporations pay better than the city, with the result that those on the eligible lists take other Jobs." i I ARE NOT AT MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Portland Ho tel company is being held this afternoon. No important or startling developments in the contest for the control of the property between tha Day and the Nor man factions are looked for. Neither of the Norman brothers is in Portland.

Joseph, a ihember of the board of directors. Is expected down from Salem to. attend the meeting.
