' The snow has some disagreeable feat

considerable under the average and tho
snow is needed. It will be beneficial to
the wheat crop, and will lav ud abun

Outside of a few, a very few sleighs,
the streets are deserted. As the snow
gets beaten down and packed a livelier
appearance will be presented, but it is so
deep that no one cares to be the fellow
to do the road making.
Some of our business men had their
collecting done yesterday, but most of
them put it off until today. (, The latter

When Mr. Tibbets left his sleigh in
front of the express office at noon today,
he did not think that it stood very con
venient to the sidewalk, and conse
quently to the roof thereof. When he
came back after his noontide meal, he
found hia sleigh so badiy smothered that
its tongue was sticking, out nine feet,
and then only reached through the
euberabundant mass of snow that had
been shoveled off the roof into it.
The big rotary snow plow started up
from Portland yesterday morning, but
for some reason did not get here. The
local passenger which was behind it was
abandoned and No 1 which arrived here
early, lay here all day. Since writing
the above the rotary got here in a
damaged condition last night, and was
temporarily repaired at the shops, leav
ing for Portland this morning ahead of
No. 1.
ne city council last night granted a
franchise to T. J. Seufert and J. W.
Condon to build and operate a telephone
line within the city limits. The gentle
men were interviewed this morning by
a Chronicle reporter, and stated thaff
four-roomrwork would be begun as soon asthe
weather would permit. They further
stated that the line would be first-class
in everv respect, and that it would be
operated day and night.
The suurise thi3 morning was beauti
ful. The first rays touched the summits
ot tne mountains acroes tne river ana
the enow gleamed and glistened as if the
whole mountain range was made of
mother-of-pea.l. Off to the west at the
same- time an immense rainbow, its
colors perfect, sent its Eighty arch al-
most to the zenith, while the grand old
Columbia swept majestically beneath it,
bearing its burden of ice down to the
sounding sea.
The steamer Regulator made a trip
down, the river a short distance this
afternoon just to see how things looked
The river was found to be open, though
considerable ice was running. In conse
quence she will leave her wharf at the
regular horfr, 7 o'clock, tomorrow morn
ing "for Cascade Locks. If the Dalles
City can get through the ice the boats
will connect, but those desiring to go to
points beyond the Locks will have to
take their chances on getting down as
best they can. A telegram at 3 o'clock
states that the river is jammed solid
1 with ice as far down as can be seen from
Bonneville.

Notes of the Storm.
The snow at Heppner is only about
four inches m depth, from which we
judge the storm spent most of its force
on the middle Columbia. Yesterday
was one of the worst days ever known in
that section from the Cascades to
Rooster Rock. A genuine hurricane
swept from the mountains down across
that section of the river, driving the
snow in blinding clouds before it, until
t could find refuge in the protected
places. The railroad cuts were soon
filled, in some places the snow being
drifted fifteen or twenty feet deep. The
steamer Dalles City, for the first time
on record, met her match, and was un
able to make headway against the gale,
so returned to Portland.
At Portland chaos reigns this morn
ing. On a foot or more or snow yester
day fell a heavy and persistent down
pour of sleet. All Etreet car lines were
blocked completely, and : by night tele
graph and telephone communication
was completely stopped, the lines being
down in everv direction. The sleet ex
tended east as far as Troutdale, the tele
graph lines being down from that point
to Portland, but are all right this side of
there.
At the Cascade Locks the snow fell
Bteadily all day and night, and this
morning at 8 o'clock it was six feet on
the level and still falling. At Bonne
ville the river is closed with ice.
The storm is remarkable for its sever
ity and the narrow limits in which its
full fury have been expended.
Thousands of Ducks In the Bay Near
Klamath Falls.
The Klamath Falls, Southern Oregon,
Express, relates this wonderful story :
"It will be a difficalt matter, perhaps,
for those who not cognizant of the
abundance of game and fish in this
county, to belieye the following tacts,
but they can be vouched for by nearly
every resident of Klamath Falls. Last
week the bay adjoining town was frozen
over, excepting in the main channel of
the river. The ducks that have been
frequenting the upper lake and streams
hereabouts congregated in the stream
below the bridge and fairly blackened
the waters. In an area of not more
than sixty acres there were from 10,000
to 20,000 wild fowl. They remained for
several days where they were unmolest
ed. A sight of that kind would send the
average eastern sportsman crazy.
Charles Bowker last Saturday cut
several holes through he ice at the up
per end of the river, and in a few hoars
caught 150 pounds of rainbow trout, one
fish weighing seventeen pounds. ' Claud
Daggett and a young friend also caught
thirty-seven fine trout, averaging three
pounds in weight, in two hours fishing.
These trout, that would be snapped up
in a city at 15 cents per pound, are hard
to dispose of here, owing to their abund
ance. The fish and game laws prohibit
their shipment outside of the state. ,

with the coming of spring that section
