route, due to the general storm.
Trains from tbe' east are nearly all
a day late and tbe whereabouts of
some are unknown. Passengm
various Oregon cities. Southern
Pacific officials fearing the stalling
of trains in snow drifts. Street car
traffic here was practically at a
standstill yesterday, snow blocking
the lines, while all snow plows left
the tracks unable to make any bead
way. '
The snowfall abated at noon yes
terday, having reached s depth of a
foot in 36 hours, the heaviest Decem
ber fall in local history. A minim
um temperature of 16 degrees above

The tie-up of street car service de
moralized business, causing seme in
dustries and establishments to sas
oend operation. Telephone service
was crippled due to the small dum
ber of operators able to reach the
exchanges. Newspapers operated
short-handed, printing only one edit
ion, with little chancespf circulating
that one either inside or outside the
city.
