Tonight the mercury la at 24 de grees, but la showing; a downward tend ency. The Mount Hood train haa been bucking snow ail afternoon and reached Dee, plowing; through 24 Inches of snow. At Parkdale there is 34 Inches of snow and it Is considered unlikely that the train can- reach this upper valley point. News reached here tonight that over 20 automobiles are snowbound at Eagle creek, where there Is over two feet of now on the highway. - A relief party has been sent from Cascade Locks. A heavy fall of rock and dirt at Ml telle? la point tunnel has completely blocked the highway to all travel. Several . motor lata who reached the tunnel after the elide occurred , experienced great diffi culty In getting back to Hood River. The city ' council thia afternoon sent the motor fire truck to new quarters n the heights to prepare for fire as it will be Impossible for the truck to climb the hill through the heavy snow. 1M E m nDBIR I HDAY SNOW B OWNS LOCKS T TRAJNSARE BEIATED (Continued Trom Pas One) PEIfDLETOX tSDEB BLANKET Of 82TOWJ STOCK CASED f OB Pendleton. Nov. 19. The snow which began Wednesday night here was still -falling late tonight with no Indication of a let up. Already , more than eight inches has fallen, according to the United States weather bureau here. The snowfall la general throughout the county. Most ot the wheat farmers near here welcome the snow because of the mois ture it brings. In some regions, how ever, such as north of Holdman. near Echo and Kolln and west of Pilot Rock, where the dry fall caused late seeding, a considerable amount of wheat which is not up and which Is only partially germinated may be damaged by the snow, and reseeding will be necessary iln iheae regions. While stockmen did not expect the snow to come aa early as it did, they made hurried preparations for winter feeding. All of the stock in Umatilla county is in private pastures with the exception of 700 or 800 head of cattle in the Umatilla national forests. All of the fruit in this county Is picked and the snow will be of real benefit to the trees, according to orchardlsts. - The mercury hovered around 10 de grees above zero tonight and If the snowfall continues the temperature will become colder, the weather bureau pre dieted. lean 1-eglon team- of The Dalies, sched uled for Sunday, has been abandoned. The mow lies- almost two feet deep on the high at-hool field, which la on the hill and exioaed to more of the storm. The Snow here has been comparative!) light and dry.

Following the billiard of laat night and this morn Ing. the wind haa died down, but there rsa been a steady fall of anow through out the day. Snow la over one foot deep T the city and la over two feet on all pads leading to valley points. The tem viferature still continues low, the reading at rmon today being 21 degrees. snow plows have been at work in the city and the roads are still open, but there la a marked falling off in traffic between town and valley and all atores report a big slump in bustneea today. Traffic between Hood Illver' and Port land la becoming increasingly difficult - over the highway and cars and trucks re leaving here In groups in case of , accident. Up to the present no damage has been recorded, except to light and phone wires and In the orchard section the anow If welcomed except for the inconvenience of traveling to town. The onJy fear la that extremely low temperature may 'follow the anow aa happened two years Ago.

Not in over a generation has such a heavy fall of, snow covered jsaaiern Oregon as is spread over La Grande and other sec tions tonight. At 8 o'clock thia evening 18 Inches had fallen since, the beginning of the storm Thursday night and the snow was fall ing faster than earlier In the day. The city is shrouded in iarkness an hour earlier than is usual at this time ot year, The storm bears the earmarks of midwinter storm rather than the usual early anow atorms of this section, which are usually very light, the snow remaining but a day or so. In 1896 heavy storm began early In November but since that time the month has al ways been one of mild weather. The O-W. R. & N. haa been able so far to maintain the regular schedule for its westbound trains as far as La Grande. The eastbound train No. 24, due here at 11 this morning, waa an hour and a quarter late, and' rotarles have been working In the Blue moun tains all day clearing the tracks, and It la expected that no unusual delay will occur in the early evening trains, at least tonlphl. The road over the mountains fs closed from Perry to Deadman hill on account the snow. Reports from Wallowa county are to the effect that a heavy fall of snow beaan in that section simultaneously with the storm here. Thursday night and yesterday earljy in the morning a heavy wind accom panied the snow but since then there has been no wind, the snow falling steadily without Interruption. A football game here had to be called off because of the impossibility of clear ing the field. The temperature has been around the freezing point all yesterday and today and the ground la not frozen.
