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. It will probably stay on the
ground for a day or so, but he doe:)
not think that there will be enough of
It to be of any consequence.
District Forecasts K. A. Beals says
that very low temperatures prevail
along the northern and eastern borders
of this district, and the temperatures lit
this district are below normal west of
the Cascade mountains and slightly
above normal in eastern Oregon, eastern
Washington and Iduho. The upper Mis
sissippi and Missouri valleys' are much
colder.

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
