THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY rfcUKUAKY
ID 18.
COLD BACKBONE R
BROKEN; WARME
WEATHER ON WAY
Rises in Temperature Through
out Northwest; Frigid Wave
Moves East and Mercury
Climbs Rapidly.
'"Fair and warmer tonight and Sat
urday." This was the gladsome word that
came from the weather bureau Friday
to bring relief to a frozen and long
Fiiffering community.
It was the first time that the word
"warmer" had appeared in the local
weather forecast for many a day.
Colonel Welsh's weather map of the
nation showed great rises in tem
perature in the northwest. Montana
was 56 degrees warmer than it was
Friday morning. In Cheyenne, Wye,
the thermometer rose from 16 below
v to lg above zero.
Omaha had 11 degrees below zero,
but the south wind was blowing brisk
ly and the sun was shining, so that
the thermometer climbed rapidly
throughout the day. The forecast for
the state is the same as that for
Omaha.
The cold wave has gone east. Chi
cago had 4 below zero this morning.
Xew York City was 14 above.
Reports to the railroads indicate
that while it is cold all over the coun
try to the west, a break in the frigid
spell is on the way. Out in Wyoming,
where Thursday temperatures ranged
from IS to 30 below, it is now zero to
20 degrees above and a warm wind
blowing in from the southwest.
Morning reports to the railroads
fail to indicate any approaching warm
weather has put in an appearance, but
there is" a guess made by the railroad
men that nevertheless the backbone
of the coid wave has been fractured.
The most hopeful sign is that the
wind is blowing from the south.
Temperatures over Nebraska went
far below zero Thursday night, ac
cording to the railroads, the northern
portions of the state reporting 8 to 10
degrees below, the eastern 5 to 20, the
central 12 to 23 below and the western
and southern 10 above to 18 below.
In the western part of the state
Thursday night there was a snowfall
of one-half to two inches, with light
to hes-vy flurries elsewhere. It was
calm and there was no drifting of the
snow.
Odd Fellows Will Celebrate

FREIGHT DEPOTS TO
REMAINOPEN LATE
Traffic Bureau of Commercial
Club Wins Fight Before
y State Railway Commis
sion at Lincoln.
The traffic bureau of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce has been suc
cessful in its effort to prevent the
local freight agents from closing the
freight depots to the receiving of
local freight after 4 p. m. The state
railway commission has ruled that the
Omaha freight depots must receive
local freight until 4:45, which has
long been the regular time of closing.
Not over 10 days ago the Local
Freight Agents' association an
nounced the 4 o'clock closing, holding
that they must have this extra time in J
the afternoon to get their treight
loaded and clear the congestion. Ship
pers pointed out that this would pre
vent local business houses from fill
ing orders coming from the trade ter
ritory in the lat? afternoon mails, and
also pointed ou: that it would be ob
viously unfair to the Omaha shippers
unless a similar order went into ef
fect in competing cities.
The traffic bureau took up the
fight for the shippers, filed a formal
petition with the state railway com
mission, and won.
