Navigation on the Inland Sea Attended With Conditions
Like in the Arctic CirCIe-Lake is Frozen
over at Last

how they came to be formed is regard
ed as a mystery by winter navigators,
as the thickest chunks of ice they have
seen are not over eighteen or twenty
inches through
It is considered by steamboat men
that there is not half the danger in
winter navigation when the lake is
frozen over as when there are vast
moving fields of ice to catch the steam
ers and crush them. In the past O.
number of valuable steamers have been
crushed by the foes and lost.
The average temperature for Deem
Der was 8 degrees below normal, and
thus far in January il has been 4 de
grees. This average has been excelled
but once. and that was during the win
ter OF 1875.

PORTLAND SCHOOL

Portland. Ore, Jan 29.-The theory
that the destruction Of the Park street
public school at midnight last night
was the act Of an incendiary is given
great credence by the police and fire

The woman appeared rather nervous
and she turned several times while
walking away from the building as If
looking for something. Her strange ac-
