After n unusually long period of
dry weather, all Western Oregon w
visited during the. past 3 houri by a
rain and wind norm which drifted in
from off the Coast Tuesday afternoon
and wasted its forre In Portland yes
terday morning. The rain proved very
beneficial In the agricultural districts,
where It was badly needed, and, in the
way of navigation, it caused a rise of
two feet in the Cpper Willamette River,
where the wheels of small craft have
been paddllnr pebbles for a few weeks
past. No dx.mage, so far as Forecast
Official Beats has been Informed, has
been caused by the storm at sea. The
heaviest gale reported was 4S miles an
hour south of !nrth Head, but the ex
lent and character of the storm would
Indicate- that It Is now severe .farther
out In the ocean.
The storm, while It extended as far
south as San Francisco, made Its cen
ter in Western Oregon. Portland re
ceived the best of It during the !4
hours ended at i A. M-. yesterday. 2.38
Inches of rain fell In the city, and .OS
of an Inch fell during the remainder
of the dav. The downpour was ex
ceeded during the 24 hours ended. Jan
uary 1. 1S0J. when 1 inches of rain
fell, and was approximated In quantity
on February S. 1908. when 1.8 Inches
fell. Notwithstanding the, heavy fall,
there Is still a deficiency of one-half
Inch in the precipitation, and the fore
cast Is that this deficiency will be
overcome-.
Reports from the Valley districts
Indicate that the rain will greatly
benefit grain which was sown during
September. Owing to the unusually
dry state of the ground, danger of a
freshet Is apprehended. The highest
stage the river may raise, as a result
of the rains, will be about three feet
above the present mark.
Contrary to the usual custom of Oc
tober storms, the accompanying wind
played no pranks in Portland, farther
than to play tunes on the electric
light wires. In Portland it attained
a velocity of only It miles an hour,
and Its maximum at Walla Walla.

THINK JVAIX WORTH MILLION"
Inland Empire Farmers Rejoice
Over Crop Prospects.
SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 14. (Special.)
Drenching rains, welcome to farmers and
stockmen, havo fallen throughout the In
land Empire for the past 24 hours, mean
ing thousands of dollars to 'the farmers,
for Fall plowing can now be started and
wheat In the ground will soon be up.
From all parts of Kaatern Washington
and Northern Idaho comes the same story
a heavy fall of rain In the nick of time,
for longer drouth would have meant the
failure of Fall wheat to sprout In time to
make a strong stand before the snow
falls. In view of this possibility, an es
timate that the value of the 24 hours' rain
In the Inland Empire is over a million
dollars seems Justified.
In parts of the Palouse country no rain
had fallen since May. At Wenatchee the
last rain was two months ago, and at
Harrington the earth was dry deeper than
a plow would rut. Besides this, with the
heavy grain hauling, the roads throughout
this section had become deep with dust,
and in some places travel was practically
suspended. This haa been remedied by
the rain.
Not only the wheat fields, but the or
chards have been benefited by the rain
and stockmen are rejoicing over Improved
pasturage.

PBNni.ETON. Or., Oct. 14. (Spccial.)
All I'matllla County Is rejoicing In
a rain which has fallen more or less
steadily since early this afternoon and
which seems to have effectually broken
the drouth of many months' duration.
Coupled with the two hours' rain Sun
day afternoon and several good showers
last night. the precipitation has been the
greatest of any time In 11 months, and It
Is believed that Full seeding will now be
on In full blast within a few hours.
Not a kernel of wheat has been planted
up to this lime, and had not the rain
came soon the chance for next year's
crops would have been very slim. As It
Is. It Is feared that the usual lanre acre
age of Fall grain will not be put In and
this is considered the one sura crop in
this country.

ODESSA. Oct. 1. (Thursday.) That the
Persian people will never have a constitu
tion unless the present Shah is killed and
the National party become victorious is
the opinion of an aged and venerable
member of the Tabris Parliament named
Ifti Khan-ul-Atebba. who Is at present in
this city on his way to Constantinople
with a small party of his countrymen for
the purpose of establishing in the Turkish
capital a permanent bureau of the revolu
tlonary party In Persia. The Persians are
nine in number and they win in tne tu
ture direct the revolutionary operations in
Persian from Constantinople. They have
been driven out of Tabriz and forced to
seek shelter on foreign soil.
"The government forces are getting
the worst of it at Tabris." continued If-tlkhan-ul-Atebba.
"Our forces, the Na
tionalists, are getting the upper hand
and the projected capture of Teheran and
the assassination of the Shah are only a
question of time.
"I have full confidence in the future
success of our revolutionary party. Our
present aim Is to win over the govern
ment troops to our side. The Shah's
soldiers already are discontented, be
cause they are not getting their money.
Our own men are loyal and well paid.
We have at present over 3000 good
fighters, together with six pieces of
artillery, and sufficient ammunition and
provisions for some time to come.
"We have been almost uniformly suc
cessful In our tecent engagements and
our men today are In high spirits over
the rapture at Tabriz of sufficient
quantities of arms and ammunition to
equip an army of 30,000. This war
material was in a government arsenal
that fell into our hands."

Through an unexpected piece of
Democratic strategy, the Bryan forces
cartured the platform at the friendly
meeting of Presidential candidates at
the White Temple last night, and
turned what was Intended to he an ex
planation of party principles Into a
denunciation of Taft and the policy he
stands for.
For 45 minutes E. S. J. McAllister,
representing Bryan, thundered Invec
tives against theRepublican party, and
was severely rebuked by, his audience,
when they placed his candidate third
In the list in the straw vote taken.
The meeting waa called to order by
Rev. F. H. Smith, assistant pastor of
the church, and the speakers were In
troduced by the pastor. Dr. J. Whitcomb
Rrougher. T. J. Edward, of Dowagiac,
Mich., represented Taft; E. S. J. McAl
lister. Frynn; J- D. Stevens, Debs, and
W. P. Elmore, chafln. The four entered
together and Joined In the singing of
"America." Mr. Stevens, after some
hesitancy, sharing Mr. Edwards' book.
After the hymn Mr. Edwards briefly
outlined the policy of the Republican
candidate and said the party represented
the best men of the country and the
best-clothed and best-looking men of the
world. His remarks caused some laugh
ter and he gracefully retired to make
way for Mr. Bryan, Impersonated by
Mr. McAllister.
Mr. McAllister was expected to make
a 10-mlnut speech. Instead, he con
sumed the greater part of an hour, de
voting all his time to an attack upon
the Republican party. The Democratic
party, he said, was represented by a
Jackass, because it had always borne
the people's burdens. The Republican
party had done nothing for the people.
These and similar denunciations, to
gether with the statement that the
panic of 1S9J was due to the previous
Republican administration, kept him
busy for ten times his allotted period.
Mr. Chapin advocated the principles
of prohibition, and then the straw vote
was taken, every man and woman
present voting.
During the evening vocal selections
were rendered by Frank D. Hennessy
and Mr. Miller. Miss Kennedy ren
dered some numbers on the orgaiL.

response to a request from Governor
Chamberlain. the American Bonding

Empowered to Bring Suit.
During the morning session of the
Council the matter was brought up for
consideration by the introduction of a
resolution to rescind all proceedings,
this being offered by Councilman Wal
lace. Councilman Kellaher, who has
led the fight to open the street In ques
tion, at once offered objections, and
there was a general debate. At the
conclusion of the remarks by members
of the Council. Mayor Lane inquired of
Mr. Kavanaugh if there is anything the
Council can do to expedite matters, the
object being to take over the streets
and to oust the mill company. Mr.
Kavanaugh replied that . the Council
might well euthorlze him to institute
legal proceedings, which it did.
George S. Shepherd, ex-Councilman
and legal representative of thS mill
company, was granted the privilege of
the floor, and at once began to criticise
the action of Councilmen Kellaher and
Rushlight, who have been very active
in trying to secure action to open the
streets occupied by the company's
plant. Mr. Shepherd remarked that he
did not believe the proceedings were
begun in good faith; that it was prob
ably for advertising purposes. He said
that in all actions of the Council there
should be good faith.
Shepherd Makes Heated Reply.
"Just a moment," tnterruptedcMayor
Lane, who was presiding. "I slant to
tell you, Mr. Shepherd that while you
are addressing the Council by its own
courtesy, you must eliminate person
alities." "I have the privilege of the floor,"
heatedly replied Mr. Shepherd, "and
while that is extended me I can say
anything I wish to so far as you are
concerned."
"Well, I warn you now, Mr. Shep
herd," said the Mayor, amid silence,
"that if you repeat what you said
about bad faith. I will have the officer
put you out of the Council chamber;
you want to be very careful what you
say."
Dares Mayor to Act.
"I am speaking by consent of the
Council," replied Mr. Shepherd, "and I
repeat, you can't stop me; that I will
talk as I please. You don't dare have
me ejected, and you don't want to order
any policeman to lay a hand on me,
unless the Council raises an. objection.
I refer you to the City Attorney as
to whether I'm right."
"The opinion of the City Attorney in
this case will not be considered." hotly
replied Mayor Lane. "Don't say any
thing personal now, or we will have a
test of the matter as to whether 1 can
eject you."
Mr.. Shepherd proceeded, but did not
say anything further to which the
Mayor took exceptions.
