erged today from the worst snow storm
iu its history and began tho work of
restoring conditions to somewhat ap
proaching normal. The task is proving
to be a difficult, one to copo with, but
hundreds of men and teams are em
ployed in the downtown districts in
loading tho accummulution of snow up
on wagons and hauling it away. The
suu made its appearance shortly before
10 o'clock this forenoon, but barometric
conditions aro favorable for more
storms.
Work of clearing car tracks is pro
ceeding steadily and traction officials
express the belief that at least a par
tial service will bo possible before ev
ening. All linos are completely Mock
ed and men and women employed down
town were compelled this morning to
walk to business in some cases several
miles. The first, car over the iiiteiurb
an Hue from Seattlo arrived shortly
after 9 o'clock.
Transcontinental railroad liiieR are
still tied up, not a singlo train having
succeeded in crossing the Cascades for
more than 36 hours. At the offices
of the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee
roads here it was said at noon that all
telegraph wires lire down, but that con
ditions in the mountains have improved
and that the date of resumption of train
service to the east cannot be predict
ed. A blizzard is raging at the sum
mit on both lines nnd rotary plows are
unable to clear away the drifts. No
eastern mail is being received, except
that which has been routed via Port
land. Train service to the southward
is being maintained but all trains are
greatly delayed.
Despite the chaotic conditions that
have existed in this city for the past
two or three days, there havo beeu no
serious accidents and tho damage
property is inconsiderable.
Delivery of fuel ami groceries and
milk are impossible in many sections of
the city today, but residential streets
are being opened up for traffic as
rapidly as possiblo and unless more
snow falls tonight, conditions are ex
pected to be nearly normal by tomor
row. There is no i'enr of suffering by
reuson of a food shortage.

Street Car, Telephone and
Electric Service Continues
In Capital City
Salem is feeling a slight touch of
(lie silver t'naw todny but none of the
acute throes of the chill jro experienc
ed in this city ana Nilem s most inti
niuto connection with trouble is
through culls for help from other cities
and Portland in particular. Nono of
the telegraph wires from San Fran
cisco or points south of Salem arc able
to send messages any f.irthcr noth than
Salem and train service, especially on
tho Oregon Electric, has been inter
rupted. The S. P. is getting its trains
through though tho schedule is general
ly behind.
Today on tho Oregon Electric the
4:T) south bound, the 11:20 a. m. north
bound and the 7:fi5 p. m. north bound
were cancelled on account of the in
ability to keep the ice off of the
trolly wires. Last night's 0:44 south
bound -arrived about four hours late
and was pulled in by an electric freight
engine which was covered with ice.
The Western X'nion telegraph company
today is making Salem the end of
the division and nil messages from
San Francisco to Portland are copied in
Salem ind then sent on to Portland by
courier on a train.
While tho sun even came out for a
short time at noon yesterday and tiie
day was generally mild until about five
thirty in the nftemodn when tho ther
mometer dropped eight degrees in 1.)
minutes and tho rain which fell was
literally "frozen iu its tricks."
No genuine silver thaw was experi
enved as it fell first in tho form of
rain nnd toon froze upon whatever hap
pened to be on tho bottom. Tho trolly
wires were the resting places of a
solid string of icicles and the electric.
trains were obliged to proceed with
slow speet. The local street car ser
vice on the Portland, Eugene & East
ern was not interrupted to any extent
ami me ears generally kept to their
schedules.
The river today is 10.5 feet above
low water mnrk which is a riso of two
nnd one half feet iu the last 'J4 hours.
The O. ('. T. company was the only
transportation company th.it delivered
freight in Salem todny and the man
agers state that as long as the river
keeps running that there will bo no
steamboat lines tied up.
Hobert C. Paulus, maii iger of the Sa
lem Fruit I'nion, reports that so far no
damage has been done to the fruit in
this section and that horticiilturulists
north of Salem sny that tho damage to
fruit trees and berry bushes does not
extend south of Garden Home.
The snow today has put a stop to the
sleet and it is not expected that any
limbs will be broken from tho fruit
trees and there has been no damage
from freezing reported to date.
Salem and vicinity appears to be a
lucky spot aeoerding to the reports
from other points in the northern end
of tho valley and the present indica
tions are that no d.imago will result
from the inclement weather unless a
decided change for the worse is affect
er. The public service commisison sent
five of its engineers to Portland today
to take charge of gangs which arc now
working over time in Portland to rut
the electric and telephone wires back

Overcoats
into working order. Every lineman
tiiut is available and n number of la
borers who are not linemen are being
pressed into service to restore the elec
tric and telephone wires that have fall
en under the weight of ice that clung
to the wires and experienced engineers
to supervise th operations are much in
demand.
Portland Is Isolated
By Sleet and Snow and
One Death Is Reported
Portland, Or., Feb. 3. With com
munication and transportation prac
tically paralyzed throughout the north
west, Portland for a time today was
iiterly without means of connection
with the outside world.
Wireless apparatus on which the city
hod relied to talk to other points broke
nuder the weight of ice on it.
Overnight, tho silver thaw that
struck the city yesterday, turned to a
snow storm, but this ceased during the
forenoon. Snow crippled the railroads
so badly that they abandoned their
schedules, while tho eastern part of
the city suffered from absence of tele
phones and electric lights.
A ten inch snow blanket lay on the
ground hereabouts, while eastern Ore
gon reported nearly two feet of snow
before tho wires failed.
Tho storm, practically continuous
since January 1, is the worst iu the
history of tho northwest, and yet more
snow and cold is predicted by tho of
ficial forecaster.
Stronger easterly winds are ex
pected to add to tho cold and suffer
ing already inflicted.
One death in tho past 24 hours is,
however, tho sole casualty report up
to early afternoon. Herbert Wild
dropped dead from exhaustion, while
battling against the driving sleet,
while he was trying to reach his home
last night,
