An Inch of snow bad fallen In Pendleton early tonight and It wn still snowing heavily. TraTel over the Old Oregon Trail was difficult. A treat part of central Oregon was covered with a blanket of snow that ranged from eight feet t Elk lake to about three inch es near Bend. Snow fell much of the day at Baker and LaGrande. At Marshfield heavy seas to day broke the south Jetty of Coos Bay In two places. High tides Sunday Inundated many acres of farm land and much damage was believed done to electrical equip ment In several lumber plants. All telephone lines through Curry county were out. Train service from the south last night continued on greatly . delayed schedules. Passenger trains were coming into Salem from California points from five to six hours late and freight ser vice was virtually at a standstill. The Shasta, due in Salem at 8:25 o'clock last night was not expected to arrive before 2:05 this morning and the Klamath, due at 6:24, was six hours late. Only one freight train, and that a short one, arrived here from the south yesterday afternoon. The Cascade, Southern Pacific crack limited, however, arrived here only an hour late. Eighty-one inches of snow had fallen in the Siskiyou region and more was falling at S o'clock last night, local railway officials were advised. Rotary snowplows were aent to the Cascade mountain sec tion of the Natron cutoff. ' In addition to the snow, the de lays were reported occasioned by heavy rains and by heavy holiday traftie which required addition of cars to the trains at several points. RepoYts of clearing weather in the northern California mountain districts brought prospect of nor mal traffic soon. POSTOFFICE LOSES FUNDS TO ROBBER ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 2S (AP) A lone robber held up the Aberdeen postoffice here late to day and escaped with $410 in cur rency, obtained from the money order clerk. The man walked out through the front door of the postoffice lifter William Gose. a clerk, had fired his pistol through the front window to attract attention of poasers-by. Several patrons in the office did not notice the robber. Miss M. Grossman, the money order clerk, said the man ap peared at her window, asked for a money order blank and wrote: . "Please hand over all currency. Hesitation on your part means In stant death." She said she hesitated a mo ment and the robber ordered, "Come on, hand over that mon ey," and then turned to Gose, who had noticed him and' ordered, ".Stand still or 1 11 kill you." Gose dropped to the floor, grabbed his pistol and shot through the window. FOR CHINA SET UP , NANKING, Dec. 28.

Friday Buster Keaton in "Sidewalks of New York." Ask any one if they had seen Eddie Canton In "Palmy Days"? If you did I will wager the answer was "Sure, and a fine show." And then would follow a grin and some narratives of the nonsense which occurs in the picture. Charlotte Greenwood is Eddie Cantor's partner in laughs, and with her in the picture Cantor cannot steal the show a thing which he has done in too many of his former pictures according to my opinion. With the two mast ers of nonsense each bombarding the audience with their foolish ness there isn't a chance to come out of the show without laughing enough, to restore your good hu mor in case of over indulgence in Christmas festivities. Thrilling action, colorful spec tacle, a strong story and sterling performances by an unusually capable cast combine to make RKO Pathe's "Suicide Fleet" truly the Navy's Big Parade. This sensational picture at the Capitol theatre today for the last times, has been produced on a big scale with quality keeping pace with production values. A story of the navy. It uses not one warship but a fleet. In the sea battles actual ships are sunk by real shells in scenes as spectacu lar as any ever brought to the screen. Three men and a girl form the romance plot and the battles on the water form the thrills, of which there are plenty. Ginger Rogers takes the part of the girl, and Bill Boyd, Robert Armstrong, and James Gleason are the three men. , The story was written by Com mander Hervert A. Jones who has been an officer in the United States navy for the past 28 years. Scenes and activities are accurate according to the author.
