The unpleasant weather during the
past week has cut railroad travel down
to minimum and the travelling men,
whom no unfavorable weather can
dismay, have been the principal pas
sengers between Dallas and Portland
for several days.
A light, sleety rain driven by wind
from the southwest caused a rice in
temperature yesterday afternoon,
which resulted In slight thawing OF
the heavy crust of snow. 1t is thought
by many that this heralds real
Chinook wind and gives promise of a
rapid disappearance of the snow.
Monday night was probably the
coldest In Dallas since the beginning of
the snow storm. A record of the
temperature each hour, kept by J. B.
Thompson at the Hotel Gail, shows
that for three hours during that night
the mercury stood at degrees below
zero and that by eight o'clock Tues
day morning it had crept barely up to
zero
