Weather conditions throughout west
ern Washington are more favorable today-that
at any time during the past
week and Indications are that danger
of serious storms or floods for the

northwest has experienced in 25 years,
is rapidly passing into history.
Attacked by warmer temperature and
by rain, the deep, snows that fell last
week, today are melting rapidly. There
is still danger that floods will follow
the melting of the snow, but reports
from the; government weather-bureau
are optimistic and the prediction is
made that the thaw will be so gradual !
that no serious floods will ocur.
. He Tseshets Imminent.
Streams In the .mountains will be
swollen and some lowlands may be in

ters of an inch of rain has fallen in
Seattle. The temperature is 44 degrees
above xero. The weather bureau pre
dicts more rain and a gradually rising
barometer.
Car lines cldjsed since Wednesday
last are gradually being opened to traf
fic, streets are being cleared of snow,
business is resuming a normal tone
and all lines of industry are again
moving.
Seattle Sit Hardest.
Throughout the entire northwest the
damage resulting from last week's
storm probably will exceed $200,000,
with Seattle the heaviest sufferer.
Available reports indicate that the
storm has taken only one life.
Schools reopened in Seattle this
morning after being closed since Wed

Watch Out for Avalanches, .
Washington, Feb. 7. (U. P.)
-The weather bureau today
warned against the possibility
of dangerous avalanches in the
mountains of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho and floods
on the eastern slopes of the
Cascades in Washington as the
result of rains and warmth fol
lowing snowstorms in that reg
ion. m
Old 'SoK amiled this morning with
the same glad smile one occasionally
sees on the face of an old friend who
has been in Seattle on business and
has , returned to Portland.
But it will be colder tonight, , to
day's forecast says, with occasional
rains and strong southwesterly winds
All day Bunday he stayed under
cover, though he let it be known that
he waa near. Every icicle in town
wept all day at the prospect of dls
solution. Winter's clutch was being
loosened. Here and there great ava
lanches of snow slid from roofs and
crashed to the sidewalks and lawns
piled high with Soggy snow.
Sunday was a day of taking stock
of things. Husbands with shovels
tolled at the sidewalks in every street,
while wives bossed the job from
porches.
t; Task ICade Basier.
Most of the gangs that have been
working at the snow streets were kept
at work yesterday, though their task
was much simplified by the softening
Influence of the weather and the rain
that poured much of the time.
The Mount Tabor 'cut was being
dug out today and the Beaumont
stub line was freed yesterday.' Roes
City Park's line was -nearly free,
with the crews tackling the tract
out to Seventy-second street. By
.night, it was said, all lifies would be
free. '
The streetcar company resumed ser
vice on the Vancouver line at 1 o'clock"
this afternoon, the trolley wires ' hav-.
lng been untangled from the snarl of
fallen strands, and set up. j
The ferry began operating in on-1
nectlon with the restored car service
as usual, and indications were that no
further delays would come. The ferry
has been out of commission more than
three weeks.
The Willamette river began rising
again Saturday and it has been
climbing steadily, the rise during the
24- hours ending at 6 a. m., was l.S
feet, with prospects , that it would
keep up. The next two hours,
six-inch rise was recorded.
Zdaemen Are Overworked.
Gangs of linemen are having prob
ably the longest siege of work in get
ting the countless wires hack to nor
mal. The. electric light companies are
finding damage done all over the city
and far out in the country. High ten
sion feed transmission lines are down,
individual lighting circuits are out:
telephone wires are tangled with tele-
graph and telegraph wires are twisted
up with electric light wires. The r -
will be many days before normal serv
ice is restored.
There will be no are lights at all in
Portland tonight.
This announcement was made when
it. was discovered that several arc
circuits were stlU broken and safety
demanded perfect connections. It ia
hoped to cut in some lights tomorrow
night and by the end of the week all
probably will be in service again.
Until the residence lights are all
connected up again, little opportunity
will be had to connect up the arcs.

tance lines are being repaired more,
rapidly than the companies', officials
had hoped for. and within a day or so
all the city telephones will be in serv
ice. ' .'- - ." " '' ''x'-'x.'"J

The' OW. R. & H.f had a few minor
snow slides in the gorge, but the trains

, Some apprehension ' regarding high
