VERY LIGHT SNOW
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Weather Bureau Shows less Snow IL
Cascades Than for Several
Years

According to 70 reports received by
the Seattle branch of the United States
weather bureau from snowfall observers
in the high mountain valleys, and CO.
operative observers in the lower val
leys and foothills, the winter thus far
has been remarkably mild and the
snowfall the lightest it has been in
many years.
November was mild month with a
light snowfall in the mountains and
higher valleys only. December was
considerably above the normal in aver
age temperature, without marked ex-
tremes, and the snowfall, although oc-
casionally extended as low as 1000
feet, was comparatively light in all To-
calities.
On account OF the mild tempera-
ture, and in some cases rain, the snow
has packed and melted until the depth
on the level is very light as compared
with former years.
On the lower western slope Of the
Cascades the reported fall during the
month was from / to S inches, accord
ing to elevation, and no snow remained
at the end of the month except small
amount at the higher elevations.
On the eastern slope of the Cascades
the reported fall during the month was
from 9 to So inches, according to ele-
walton, and there remained at the end
of the month from to IS inches, av-
eraging Is inches.
Correspondents from the different
counties report as follows:
Aladdin, Stevens county-There has
been no zero weather here thus far
this winter.
Goat Lake, Snohomish county-In
my sixteen years in the mountains at
this point I never saw December like
the past one.

winter has been very open. There is

when Jumbo made his first student trip
as a fireman.
1t was along in 1900 as near as we

matter. Before a man gets to be a
Fireman like other things he has to

After getting over the top Of the hill 1t
is pretty easy sailing into this city, be-
ing all down hill. and being little bit
la,igued, our new fireman climbs up on
the seat box to rest his weary bones,
also to be on the lookout for mailsacks.
His chief doubtless told him to look
out for the mail sacks, for him to keep
his head inside OF the cab when they
passed the stations where mail is
picked up on the run, else he might
receive a slight jolt which some times
takes the top OF mans head off. But
Jumbo misconstrued his chiefs instruct
ions from all accounts and began gath

nicely until they had passed Chiwau-
KUN, when the engineer was startled
by his fireman exclaiming, stop 'er

and broad smile covered his face,

MT mean for you to pick up those
sacks, that's the mail clerks job. Now
when we get into Leavenworth, you
hustle back to the mail car and explain
matters to the clerk The mail clerk
had got somewhat excited himself when
he saw all those sacks going into the
engine, but he too wore smile that
wouldn't come off by the time Koontz
had got thru telling how it happened.
