COLD WAVE EXTENDS FAR THE SNOW FALL BREAKS RECORDS Htpth of Three Feet Reached In Loner alley Telephone, Telegraph and Train Sen ice Hampered. The mow of the (.hsI week is a l ovt lty tOUll except pioneer residents of the futility. The fall is the heaviest fin-e the winter of IsS4 and ", when m Deeemlier the mow on the level whs several inches ilei per than that cover- mn the e;rotinil at present. lvailroad trail'ic on the O. K. & N. line was completely tied up here at that time. A train was stalled iievond Ktithton west of here and remained with many passengers aboard for a period of three weeks. The engineer of the locomo tive was (J. A. Mit'urdy, now pres ident of the Apple Growers' Union. I'ooil for the snowbound passengers had to he brought in on hand sleds. Krcd Howe, and William Davidson made daily trips from here to the train carrying supplies. "The snow of 1 S.5 was almost as di't p as this," says .County Assessor VVickhani. "I remember one very comical incident connected with the snowfall of that year." he continued. "A friend and 1 had started from our homes in the Oak lirove district to the city. The snow was so deep that we tnuught it best to walk, so that the sled would be lighter for the team. No sooner had we alighted than the horses decided to take a little trot. Despite our cries they continued at a good gait and in the deep snow we were uable to overtake them. After travelling serveal miles we overtook them at the Karrett Store, where some one had caught theiu." I Hiring the same winter S. V. Illytlie, who resides west of the city near the Frankton district, was caught by 'the storm without siillicient feed for his cows. He cut all of the under brush near his place for them and finally was forced to use branches of the Oak trees. The animal grew so famished that they would rush to the foot of an oak, when they say him climbing the tree. The heaviest shower of snow fell here Saturday night, w hen more than a foot and a half was added lo the depth of the white blanket. When day broke Sunday morning the sky had cleared and the snow stood on the level from 111 inches to f'we feet in dilfeient parts of the valley. It was reported from Green Point Tuesday that the fall had reached a depth of .eight feet mere, hunttay night the temperature reached a record low temperature here, registerinlg in certain points in i lie v alley at lour degrees below zero, The sky clouded Sunday night Bnd showers of snow fell intermittently until 'luesday afternoon about three o'clock, when the temperature rose to :I0 degrees above a-d slight rain fell, forming a crust oil the snow. A steady thaw since then has been taking the snow from the houses and buildings of the city. In many cases outside drain pipes have been fr07.cn hiii! the water hacking up on roofs has Hooded build ings, 'luesday afternoon it was found necessary to use steam pipes to thaw the drain pipis on ihe Khot building. 1 he ollice ot Drs. ISronson and Watigh in this building was Hooded and damage done to other portions of the structure. Tuesday night the Masonic building was Hooded because of the freezing of drain pipes. Men were working at late hours of the night removing snow from other large buildings. The more re cently built structures have the drain pipes constructed within the buildings, so that they did not freeze and the melting snow was allowed to reach the gutters. Since Saturday the rural carriers have been unable to deliver mail on their routes. Monday the carrier of Koute No. 3 took the mail as far as the Oak Grove store. The engine sent out by the Mt. Hood road Saturday was stuck at 1'arkdale. Mail has been sent out to the Mt. Hood post ollice on sleighs. IheO.-W. K. & N. system has had dillictilty in sending its trains through. 1 he snow blocked the tracks on both sides of the city and all trains have been late. Trains from the far east have found dilliciilty in maintaining their schedules throughout the western mountain districts. Passengers on the Saturday after noon local east bound from Portland arrived here at 11 :0T Sunday evening. "1 hour late. 1 he train was blocked at Hndal Veil, where it remained all night, the passengers remaining on the cars over night. They took their meals at the liridal Veil hotel. Local people on the train were Clarence H. Gilbert, C. K. Marshall, Frank Chan dler, A. O. Hershey. Mrs. J. C. John son, Or. H. K. Wrihgt and Mrs. Ida ("rapper. A large number of people trom lhe Italics were also aboard the train. Services were held aboard the train Sunday morning. A violin solo was re-dered by Clarence Gilbert, and 1'aul French, of The Dalles, lead in the singing of hymns. The passengers reached this city aboaid the east bound Oregon-Washington limited, to which they were transferred on the arrival of that train from Portland at ttridal Veil. The limited train was 11 hours in making the trip from Portland to Hood Kiver. Sunday evening l ist at dusk as the westbound Oreogn-Washington limited was pulling into the local yards, the front engine, of the two pulling the train, left the tracks because of the turning of a rail and the tender bumped into the concrete walk sur rounding the station. Crews of men cleared the track before morning. The rotary plow was kept busy all day Sunday, Sunday night anil Monday keeping the track on either side of the city clear. A large number of people were at the station Sunday night to see it clear the sidewalks i.t the local yards. The big machine threw the snow in a Pteady stream over the top of the Stranahan & (Mark warehouse as it was clearing the siding next that building. 'lhe O. W. K. & N. tracks have been cleared and, although somewhat irregular, through trains are being operated. The North Hank road has been in wor-e con iition than the local roads. Its track running on an exposed cliff for a great distance, 'lhe snow fight irg equipment of the road was in use at the time the storm came on eastern divisons of the road. The greater part of the Hood River county road syttem has been clean d for traflic. However, it w ill be impos sible to use the F.ast Side grade until a further thaw conies. The road is packed many feet high with snow. Fast Side people have been coming into the city by the old grade over the hill. lhe Northwestern storm did serious damage in Portlaud. A silver thaw, duplicating conditions of five years ago broke trees and put the telegraph nou eiecinc wire systems oui 01 coin mission. The silver thaw is a freak condition, initiated by an upper air current warm enough to produce rain wun a lower current barely cold enough to freeze the water as it falls to the earth s suifaee. 1 he cold wave seemed to he broad cast. A temperature of 45 degree? below zero was registered in narts of Wisconsin. It was considerably colder than this in certain parts of Canada. At St. Louis the mercury was MJie low. at Hannibal 32 below and all records for 2tl years were broken along the Ohio river. Huston was Iwo below and tierce tempests whipped the entire iew r.ngittou coasi. North Wisconsin points were S8 to ih below Hismark N. D. 3d below. Charles City. Iowa. 40 below, and Devils Lake N.

San Antonio, ordinarily one ot the hottest places in the country, shivered under 18 above. Deaths reported from the cold are live in Texac, live in Chicago, two in Wisconsin, tnree in Indiana, two in Michigan, eight in New York and two in St. Louis. CITY MAY RETAIN CERTIFIED CHECK One of the most inipoi tatnt things coming before the city council at its Monday night'a meeting, which was held at the courthouse with all the newly elected members, ith the ex ception of A. C. Stalen, installed, was that of retaining the certitied check of Morris Pros, of a sum of $1,000 depos ited with Recorder I.angille for the faithful performance of the contract to purchase the J'.IO.IIOO water bond issue. As will be remembered, Ulen & Co., Chicago brokers., made the successful bid on the bonds. How ever, when they were referred to Dillon, Thompson & (. lay, their New York attornejs, they disapproved be cause of certain objectionable fea tures of the city charter. Later the issue was assigned by the Chicago brokers Morris Pros., the Portland lirm, who declared by commune ation and personal represenative at the council meetings that they would take the issue provided the city would pass an ordinance increasing its taxing powers and placing limitations on the disposal ot the water Bysiem. This was done, and according to City At torney, juuge rt. .1. oertiy, this by a new promise bound the brokerage tirni to the city by contract and the fl.OOO was given to insure their faithful per formance. Later they notilied the city that they would not take the bonds be cause of the litigution aginst the city by J. F. lialehelder. As will be re membered, this was settled in favor of the city in the lower court. The coun cil expressed its sentiment Monday nignt inai me check snould be kept by the city. Judge Derby announced that At torneys Strong, of Portland, anil Wil bur, of this city, representing Mr. Hatcheli'er, of injunction fame, offered lo withdraw their recent injunction secured against the city to prevent it 1 rum enlenng a contract with the Hydro Klectric Co. for street lightinir. provided the city would advertise for bids on street lighting and allow the I acihe Tower & Light Co. a chance to enter with bids, 'lhe council took no action on the report. A report of the retiring citv treas urer, h. O. Hlaiichar, was read. Ac- curding to Percy M. Morse, City engineer, the city has epxended during me pasi year the sum or JftiE.

We had heard of the famous apples of the Hood Kiver Valley, which are said to sell at 25 cents each in the swell eating houses of the east, hut it had never been our good fortune to taste one until Crhisimas day, when our esteemed fellow ci' " W. A. Moore, presented The Kit iaU with a basket of the yellow anu lu beauties which his daughters, Mesdames Kicgel and Walters, brought with them from their Oregon home. 1 he apples are of good size, gorgeous in coloring, juicy, and have a splendid aroma and flavor . They vary in tart ness according to the variety, those received including the Ortley, Wagner's Choice and Spitzentiurg. The latter has a little more zest than the others, hut none of them is excelled by apples that we ever ran across before. This delicious fruit is certainly up to the Hood Kiver reputatoin, and was raised on the ranch of Hans Lage in the celebrated valley named. Th grower certainly has good cause to feel proud .if tKA ynolloni.a tf hie rti-ftftii-t hu. risburg, Illinois, Saline Co., Register.

VETERAN SCOUT " DELIVERS LECTURE J. S. Hamilton, formerly of St. Paul, Minn., but who is now a resident of Portland, appeared Frida,' evening at the Parkdale hall in a lecture telling of his experineces during the Civil War, when he was a scout serving in the armies along the Mississippi. Mr. Hamilton has delivered his lecture in a great number of places during the past few years and because of the interesting manner in which he relates the thriling strife his lectures have grown in demand. A large audience of the Upper Val ley people were present and enjoyed the stories of the old soldier. Mr. Hamilton was a member of a regiment of 2,450 men to leave for the front at the beginning of the war. However, when the conflict was over only 232 of them returned to their homes. He rode with Sheridan, Mer ritt. Grierson and Ceo. Cook in their campaigns, moving 2500 miles during one Summer. At one time for '.HI days he was in the saddle continuously, liv ing on half, quarter and a part of the time on no rations. During l;ie wai Mr. Hamilton was in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Texas. While in this city, on his way to and from the Upper Valley town, Mr. Hamilton, who has made a number of visiu here before, called on a number of his old friends. J. H.
