COLD Y COMING
REAL WINTER SOON

Pendleton's first real snow of the
season began falling about 9 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and fell steadily
until after s. At first the snow was
so sleety that 1t melted rapidly but,
when the storm ceased, there was
between three and four inches on
the ground
A strong wind accompanied the
snowfall and the storm had the sem
blance Of a mild blizzard. The wind
continued after the showing stopped
and the snow drifted somewhat.
Several auto parties in for the night
we're unable to get home because of
the roads being blocked by drifting
snow.
Today has been clear and the tenn
perature was not low enough to pre-
vent some thawing However, the
weather man is predicting colder
weather and, if this comes, the snow
will probably remain on the ground
for some time.
The snow has effectively put an end
to seeding operations. Many farm
ers, who had been delayed in their
seeding, were putting in their grain
when the storm came. They will
probably have to wait until spring
now.

quarters in the vicinity of San AN

to message mining men received.
American authorities believe he will

COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION TO
WORK WITH COUNTY COURT TO
GET FEDERAL AID FOR ROAD

That immediate steps should be Ia
ken by Pendleton to try to secure from
the government money to assist in
building a road from Pendleton to
La Grande via the old stage route
was the unanimous opinion of the
small number of members attending
the Comercial club meeting last even
ing.
The government has set aside S10,-
OOO, 900 for the building OF roads
through federal forest reserves. AL
ready walla walla and wallowa
counties are working industriously to
secure a road through this county
from weston to Elgin. It was point
ed out last evening that such a road
would not be OF near the service that
a direct route from la Grande TO
PendlstOn would be, inasmuch as the
latter would be link of the inter-
national highway.
Recently the county court had one
of the government Surveyors look
over the proposed Pendleton-La
Grande and Weston -Elgin roads
Though no official report has been
made to the court. Il is the under
standing that the surveyors favored
the latter road but was OF the opln-
ion that road up the river and
over the mountains to la Grande
would be too expensive. However
word has been received from other
government officials indicating that
an energetic move might still secure
the opening Of the old stage route.

WASHINGTON Dec. 6.-There is

the announcement OF the new policy
Of refusal to supply ships with coal

excuse Is that submarines have re-

self on record in protest. Everything
will be done TO effect modification
inasmuch as the situation promises to
seriously affect American commerce,
particularly in the Philippines and

SECRETARY Of TREASURY URGES EXTENSION
Of WAR RISK INSURANCE BUREAU FOR YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. Gu. P)--
An earnest recommendation for the
extension for another year of the bu-
reau of war risk assurances which
expires by limitation September 2,
1917. is made in the annual report Of
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
submitted to congress today.
Gold coin and bullion to the am
cunt of s2,7OO.136,976 was held in
the United States November /. 1915,
the report shows, "the largest stock
OF gold ever held in this or any other
country of the world"
The bureau Of war risk insurance
up to November II had written 1854
policies, covering a total insurance OF
S163.395,657, says the report, and the
surplus of premiums paid over losses
emounts to $2,S67657.2S. The loss
es to date have amounted TO $685.
924.60 from which salvage Of $59,Obb.-
81 has been received. The net amount
OF insurance at risk November II was
$14.61O,s45. While 100000 was APP
propriated for the bureau under the
original act, the operating expenses
have amounted to but SSs,1iS.70.
Unless the bureau is continued,
says the report, and the war in Eu-
rope continues after the date Of ex-
plratlon, the inability to grant war
risk insurance on American vessels
and cargoes in American vessels will
seriously injure the business and COM
merce OF the country.

past fifteen years has resulted in the
construction Of many public buildings
in small town and locations where
their need is not justified by the cost
and requirements. He urges divorc-
ing of this question from all local or
political considerations and separate
measures to cover each building after
proper investigation.
A new coast guard cutter is recon-
mended for the Hatteras district. An
increase in the rate of pay for the en-
listed men in the service, says the
report, is imperative.
Funds for the extension Of the avi-
alton branch of the service are asked
Of the present congress.
Exports for the year ending June
80, amounted to $4,3SS.65S.S65, an in
crease of s2,76s,5ssS4O over the

increase of $4S4.OOO,OOO. Custom re-
ceipts totaled $21S.lS5.S45.6S, show
ing health increase.
The estimate of receipts and dis
bursements for the fiscal year 1918,
says the secretary show that the ex-
listing laws will not provide sufficient
revenues to take care Of the unusual
expenses of the government due, for
the most part, to the large expendi-
lures required by the army and navy
for preparedness and estimated for
the year at ss67,1s4, 600.
Attention Of congress is called to
the necessity of passing such meas
ures as will provide additional reve-
nues to meet the situation.
