Although the drenching downpoui of yesterday and this morning war extremely heavy, yet the rain is not a record breaker by any means. How ever, the precipitation for this one month has surpassed the normal mark for the month of October, and the indications are that the ordinary amount of rain for the month will be far aliove the average. Upon making his reading at 5 o'clock this morn ing. Weather Observer William Bell found that the rainfall for the past 24 hours has just brought the total for the month to exactly the totla normal amount, namely 2.61 Inches. With an even baker s doten days re maining in the month there is a very- great possibility that the rainfall! for the month will be far above, the average. During the 2 4 houre ending at 5 o'clock this morning, fi8 hundredth? ofan Inche fell. Only 17 hundred riredtha fell after five o'clock fun day night. The heavy storm which occured after 5 o'clock this morning recorded a total of .60 of an men. making the total from 5 a. m Sunday to i a. m.

Tacoma .36 Inches and San Jtraucisco .in iucbob. The barometer remains low and the weather bureau protects Itself by a prediction of "probably rain tonight and Tuesday.

Miss Llba Peshakova. a held rep resentative of the Portland branch of he national organisation, was pres- nt at the meeting and addressed hem concerning the work of I lie league.

For this reason voters aro urged by this society to vote 313 No. The let- r follows: "An amendment to the state con stitution under the title 'Anti Com milsorv Vaccination Amendment is to be voted upon at the general elec- ion on November 2nd. 1 nta pro posed amendment ia as victoua a pro posal as any Initiative measure mu. has ever been presented to the peo nle of the slnte. The title "Anti Com niilsorv Vacc nation merely nines the real meaning of the bill. It may h.. iiosslhle to debate compulsory vaccination, but there in no debatable ground In the real purpose of tins nroposed legislation. The bill slates Hint no form of medication shall be made a condition for the exercise of any right, the performance of any iluty or the enjoyment ot any pnvi lege. The passage of the measure would be a serious blow to the en- Irn nubile henlth organization or tne itnto and would vitiate tne euorin oi the health bodies to control epi demics not only of smallpox but of nil other cnni nirlous diseases tnni may arise. The program of the M !!! Hvglene society and organir.n Hons of similar functions would be materially impaired by preventing the pecessary treatment ot carriers mid distributors of venereal and other Infections. The individual who thinks he Is 'exercising a right' while disseminating a disease that can be controlled by treatment could not be restrained If this proposed amena nent were passed. "The executive committee of the -iiici.-il Ilvelene society, at its last meeting, passed the following renolu tion: It is hereby resolved that th Social Hygiene Bocioty shall do all In lis power to prevent the passage oi the nronosed Anil Compulsory Vac rinniton Amendment, which., It be lieves would seriously disrupt th health activities within the common weulth.'

The mer chants of the town have been asked to dcrlnro a half holiday Oregon poultry ralBers will bo In terested to know that eggs produced tn this state now occupy a position 011 the New York Market, second only to the well known Petaluma eggs. Since New York Is the highest mar ket in tho country and takes about one-fourth of the couutry's supply. Oregon poultrymen should feel well satisfied with the recognition they have gained. Oregon eggs were esiallshed on the New York market by the Oregon Poultry Producers Association, sit organization of poultrymen who have joined togethor to Improve market ing cnnitltlonj and to eliminate tho Siiei-liiatlon and waste In gottlnff the product 10 tho consumer, ineir ou- Joct In not to raise prices, uui iu place their eggs on tho best market. Poultry nocks in uregon are rapimy Increasing, and It our poultryinen are to continue In business at any thing like fair returns for ineir worn thoy must ship to the market that wnnts their products at lair pru-j. I'. L. Upson, jeiieral manager 01 tho association, returned recently from a trip to New York to investi gate markot conditions, and says In a letter to County Agent H. K. Hns lett, that "Quality and Uniformity aro tho two things which the market New York demands. ano tor which It is willing to pay. At tno lime I was in New York there was a difference of 12 cents per dozen be tween the Pelaluma extra, tancy eggs hurl the best grades of Iowa and middle western stock. While tho Pot al lima extra fancies were senum at 72 cents, Oregon Nulado. were bringing 68 cents; Seattle standards 64 cents; Los Angeios iiinciea, u cents and Iowa and Nebraska fauciea nt 60 cents. The greater part of the difference in price was duo to faulty grading in allowing a very small number of Inferior eggs to slip Into a case of otherwise first clnss stock. "Tho question may be asked: 'How about (ho outlet In Now York?' In there any llkllhood of the const oversupplylng the market?' I talked with perhaps 50 egg dealers In New York nnd not one of them soemed to feel that there was the reuioli""'. possibility of such an exigency. In 1919 approximately one car a week of coast eggs wore arriving in New York in August. This August tho Petaluma assirlntlon hnd nine cars reaching here the week ending Ang us 21, and there was no Indication ihnl thla volume anywhere near fined the demand. Kvery dealer with whom I spoke expressed the opinion that the "Pacific Coast Whites." as this grade Is known In New York, would become increasingly popular and thst the supply would never ex ceed or eqtia Ithe demand, provided the two essenlal factors, (quality and uniformity wore maintained. The net result of my trip has been ihe conviction that the possibilities of the New York Market for Paci fic const eggs has hardly boon touched as yel, and that the Paclllc Northwest, by reason of Its natural advantages In the production of tho high quality eggs In all scsyons, has a very real advantage over any other ..-.linn which it should not neglect The oiily limit to the prosperity of U10 poultry industry in inn west will be the llmll which tho poultry producers themselves placo upon the Industry by their neglect nr failure to co-operatively market their product and thus retain for hemaelves the profits which hnve heretofore been absorbed by the speculators." o Reedsport Sells Municipal Bonds IlEEDSPOKT, Ore., Oct. 16.
