The WEATHER.-The most no.
ticeable local item of the past week has
been the freeze-up. Doubtless our
readers are already sufficiently acquaint-
ed with it. 1t is the duty of the chron-
icler, however, to give it brief mention.
Last Saturday morning the good pco-
pie of Vancouver and vicinity raised
the curtains of their windows to see
fresh laid mantle of "Beautiful Snow"
The ground beneath it was frozen solid
and the boys rejoced over the prospect
of snowballs for days to come. 1t
showed nearly all day Saturday, cleared
up at night, the stars shone clear. and
the thermometer went down to Is.
Ice began running in the river during
the night. The steamer Vancouver
blew the goodbye whistle ut 10 o'clock
.. m, and steamed away for the more
genial waters OF the Willamette, to be
seen here no more during the continu-
ance of the rigorous weather. Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday the sun shone from
cloudless sky, with cold freezing
nights. Wednesday morning the Their
mometcr went up to 30 and from that
to a. ere 2 p. m; the snow began to
melt and the crust OF the frozen ground
to drop in. and everybody rejoiced over
the prospect of an early commencement
of spring. Thursday morning it turn
ed colder, the ground frozc, and a slight
fail OF snow re-whitenci thu ground;
the sun came forth making beautiful
day. The ice on the city pond has
been just thick enough for skating, but
rather dangerous tun. On Thursday
the steamer Vancouver came to the
mouth of the Willamette, not daring to
invade the ice fields up this way. We
had no mail from Saturday until Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Shea carried the
Vancouvear mail across the river here
in a small boat. sklltully engineering
his way through the ice, and returned
in The evening with letter mail from
Portland Friday morning broke cold,
the ground frozen and thick clouds high
in the sky. with a PROSPECT for more
cold weather.
