Thursday evening, rapidly covered
the ground, the earliest snow which
has fallen here for number of
years, but later than that which
fell in many other districts.

rainfall, followed by frigid wind
which swept down out Of the north
east on Wednesday, were the first
evidences in the Priest Rapids val

has settled over the rest of the

At Seattle, six inches of snow
fell on Monday, the earliest date
on which. snow had fallen there
since 1911, and other coastal points
were visited by heavy snow or rain

over nine inches in one week. Bel
