First Snowfall of Season. The thermometer down to 20 degrees above zero (the lowest it has fallen this season) a heavy fall of snow cov ering the ground and more coming, were the somewhat unusual condi tions the people of Dallas found sur rounding them this morning. The snow is fine and dry and, driven by a north wind, bids fair to "hang on" for some time, a circumstance that will no doubt bring "large gloats of joy" to the festive schoolboy and equally large burdens of disgust to those who have lived in Oregon long enough to have become wedded to its usually mild climate (both in summer and winter) and whose dignity re moves from them them the gentle joys of snowballing and coasting.
