which "covered seventy-two pages of
closely typewritten matter, was not con
cluded until 8 o'clock' last night, at

THE WEATHER
A Snow
Storm Succeeds
. Rainfall.
Recently we made a touching appeal
to the city fathers for light. We did not
ask for much, but just a little, and we
are proud to eeS the evidences that we
are going to get almost all we asked for.
The holes are being planted in various
and sundry places, and the old-fashioned
amp-posts will soon be bearing aloft the
good old g'asa frames and the coal-oil
lamps therein. It is not much, it is
true, but even the "light of other days"
is preferable to the absence of light of
the winter nights. We can get along
with these through the winter, with the
aid of the swaggering old moon that
gets full occasionally ; but it does not
speak well for us. It seems to be the
beet that can be done, and eurely none
of us can profitably kick when we have
the best there is. The great bard of
Avon paid graceful tribute to one small
candle tbat sent its beams twinkling
through rents in the sable curtains of
Night to illuminate a crateful world
Why then should we complain when we
have the more odoriferous coal oil?
It has been demonstrated to the satis
faction of the demonstrator, at least.
that coal is nothing but the heat of the
sun stored up through countless millions
of years for the use of man, and coal oil
surely is the light of our great orb stored
away at the same time. Let us then be
thankful for what we have, realizing, as
we do, that some places not half our size
are really in greater darkness than we
are.
A Fleasaut Surprise Party.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Lane were made
the victims of a most happy surprise
last evening by a goodly number of their
friends, taking them quite unawares
at their home in the eastern portion of
the city. Their uninvited guests took
full possession of the house at about 8
o'clock, and from that time on until
a late hour, the fun and merriment
reigned supreme. A bountiful luncheon
was served, which wa9 one of the most
enjoyable parts of the evening's enter
tainment.

N GREAT VARIETY tering Portland has been resumed on al-
Heavy ! moet schedule time.
it is expected that the passengers who
will leave Portland and Tacoma today
on the Northern Pacific for the East will
go through "without transfer. Between
here and the Sound, traffic bas "been re
sumed and trains are on time. Passen
ger Agent Carlton has received advices
showing tbat all the delayed passengers
at Clark's Fork in the mountain district
in Washington were being transferred
with but little delay and the break is
being rapidly repaired.
Information from Vancouver, B. C,
yesterday was to the effect that no trains
bad come over the Canadian Pacific
Bince last TburedayT The pusseng' rs
who were started out on Friday 'a tr in
were held at Agassiz until Sunday, when
they were brought back to Vancouver,
and are being kept there until the line
is open. The report on Tuesday night
was, tbat they expected to get a train
through by yesterday afternoon.
On the Southern Pacific the water has
not yet receded sufficiently in the
Clackamas valley bottoms to ailow the
passage of the Roeeburg local. Passeh
gers are being transferred and possibly
the water will abate sufficiently by to
morrow to allow the trains to pass.
The through train is making good time
by the West fcide.
The O. R. & N. and the Union Pacific
have escaped damages and tbe trains are
on time.
Thirty-miles-an-bourgalep on the Ore
gon coast; heavy rains over in Northern
California; a blizzard in Montana; 30
degrees below zero up in the cold-weather-batching
regions in tbe northern
British territory, and a driving snow
storm over Oregon, Washington and
Idaho is the weather situation summar
ized today at noon. There is lots of
weather up here in the Northwest.
By tomorrow morning it will be rain
ing again, as tbe temperature is "loosen
ing'.' up. Yesterday and last night the
temperature was stationary, being about
the freezing point west of the Cascades,
and from 16 to 24 degerees above zero
east of there.
It is 4 degrees below zero at Helena,
and np in the northern region it is cold
enough to suit the oldest inhabitant.'
Considering the time of the year it is
noteworthy. The enow Btorm today
comes from up in the British posses
sions. ' It doesn't come direct. It has a
curve in its delivery which baffles de
scription, besides which a baseball
pitcher's wouid be easy. The wise man
should have known from the way the
wind howled last night in the cold, clear
atmosphere that this installment of the
storm was coming. .
It is 16 above at Spokane. 18 at AValla
Walla, 28 at Seattle and 2 degrees war
mer at Portland.
It is somewhat chilly for unprotected
whiskers at Havre, Mont. It is 88 de
grees below zero, and a sensible person
will take the weather prophet's word for
it without going there to investigate
If you would' like, more figures, it is 30
below at Edmonton ,'22 at Qu' Appelie,
14 at Calgary and12 below at Bismarck,
N. D. It is snowing in Montana and
parts of Idaho, and' it is thought the
beautiful is falling 5n Washington. '
Forecaster Pague says the nigh baro-
metic pressure, which is central to tbe
north of Montana, ia rapidly moving
eastward, and a storm area is appearing
off the coast. A secondary low pressure
is over Nevada and Utah, which bas
produced general rain over California,
Nevada, Utan and Southern Idaho. The
area of low pressure off the Washington
coast will most likely develop during to
day, and control the weather over tbe
Pacific Northwest for tbe next 48 hours.
At 5 o'clock this morning the weather
bureau issued the following as to the
future conduct of the river :
"The Willamette river ac Portland
was 20.2 feet above zero yesterday morn
ing, at which height it remained station
ary until about 6. p. in., when it began
to fall ; by 8 :30 p. m., a fall of 0.6 of a
foot had occurred. The fall will be more
rapid Saturday and Sunday, amounting
to from 7 to 10 feet by Monday morning.
Saturday morning tbe height of the
river at Portland will be about 18 feet,
Sunday morning abont 14 feet and Mon
day morning 9 to 11 feet above the" zero
of the gauge."
.At Albany tbe river has fallen 7.1 feet
daring tbe past 24 boars.
