The high east wind which has accompanied the cold snap is not even appreciated by the easterners. The thermometers have been registering all the way from 30 above to 15 above. The roads are frozen solid and ex tremely rough. Fact of the matter is, this is not Oregon weather and who ever is to blame for it had better look out. Henry Schmale, who resides near Watt school house, was in town Satur day and left at this office a Yellow New ton apple grown on his place, that for size and looks is just as good as any to be found anywhere.
