HEAVY RAINS ARE A
BLESSING TO FARMERS
PORTLAND, May Hi. Heavy rains
are falling throughout the entire Pa
li Hi. northwest and crops that a few
dayR ago were on the verge of suffer
ing from drouth have been given a new
lease on life with the best of prospects
for a rich harvest. The rain is general,
although greater in some sort ions than
ot hers.
jVeathrr bureau reports this morning
i to the effect that. Knstorn Oreguu
as well as the Columbia river and Wil
lamette valleys received good, copious
showers during the night, and in most
sections rain was still falling this af
ternoon. Raker, Gilliam, Sherman and Morrow
counties h:io been dry tor a long time
and wanting rain badly. The drouth
in the big wheat belt was broken early
this moi jlng and crop prospects were
enhanced fully Ion per cent. Agents
-tor Port laud grain export iug firms
rushed in reports of the showers, and
stating that where the outlook was de
cidedly diseoti raging yesterday, the
prospects are today for exeollent crops.
The season is reported as being some
what backward in t hat part of he
slate, but the crops will come out fine
nevertheless unless hot"- winds should
prove disastrous to the sprouting grain
during the month of June before the
straws have gained enough strength to
bear up under the withering blasts of
heat that might possibly sweep over
the fields.

Hill, the railroad kilig, sounded a note
of warning at the session of the gov

pre) tared address he declared that- if
immediate steps for the conservation of
the forests on tho Pacific coast are not
taken, some varieties of timber will be
exhausted within leu or I- years.
"The Pacific roust, ' ho said, "has
a considerable body of merchantable
standing timber, but we are consuming
yearly three or four times as much tim
her as the forest growth restores, Our
supply of some varieties will be ex
hausted within H or 12 years. With
out reforesting, the present century will
see the complete wiping out of these
forests.
"The exhaustion of the coal supply is
not in the definite future. Fifty years
ago the anttiilil per capita production
was a little over a quarter of u ton,
while now it is five tons."

Delogation Instructorl for Taft Asa
Forced Into Dclegatcship.
POIiTLAND, May Hi. What Senator
Itourne will do, now that ho has been
thrashed by the Fulton faction, is giv
ing the politicians something over which
to speculate. They know that Itourne
never stops, but kreps working alt the
liinr, so the defeat of Mnnrne is not
xousideretl tho end of him in Oregon
politics. It is believed, however, that
the meeting between Hourne and his
private secretary, John C, Young, will
bo worth the price of admission. Young
managed to get into (ho convention on
a proxy supplied by Jeff Hurd, but W
S. P'lfen, who wanted a proxy, failed
The convention did some strange
things, sucha as making one man a del
gale who didn't want the position, and
refusing to grant tho honor to another
who did. Mis efforts to have himself
elected a national delegate must have
cost Hourne a wad of money, yet ho was
unsuccessful. Asa I hoiupsou, on t he
other hand, didn't want to be a delegate
and his people forced him to accept
Hourne financed count ies in order to
have favorable delegations sent to tho
convention; he sent his private soero
tary and burnt up dollars in telegraphic
instructions. Hourne undertook to or
ganize a machine for the sole purpose
of electing himself a delegate, and lost
all. Thompson wandered down from
Knstcrn Oregon with his delegation, who
wanted nothing. Kastern Oregon had to
be recognized and tho Fulton people
did not want Kennedy of Maker City.
Tho Fulton crowd told the Knstcrn Or-
gou people to designate someone for
delegate to Chicago. No one wanted
it particularly, least of all Thompson,
lie was finally prevailed on to accept,
and ho received tho honor without turn
ing his hand. Hourne had tried to turn
tho state to accomplish the snmo result
in his own behalf.

MURDERESS
Remains in Ashes of Gun
ness House at Last Pos
itively Proven to Be
Those of Mrs. Gunness.
LA FO RT K, I ad ., M ay I Mrs.
Hollo Gunness paid the penalty f her
ten or more fiendish murders in the
fire that destroyed her charnel house on
the omruing of April 2S. The wom
an 's body, burned almost beyond rec
ognition, that was dug from the ruins
with those of her three children, has
been identified so positively as to leave
110 doubt in the mind of any one who
knows the evidence which the authorb
ties of La Porte county have been con
cealing from the public.
It has been learned today direct from
District Attorney Ralph X. Smith that
a gold band ring found on the finger
of the charred corpse has been identi
fied positively as that worn by Mrs.
dimness. Tho woman's keys also were
found in the ruins near the body and.
were identified by the one which un
locked her safe deposit box in thh lo
cal bank, in which she placed $700 on
the Saturday before she was killed.
The fact that the corpse found in the
ruins of the Outincss farm hoitsn is that
of Mrs. Hello Gunness, the alleged mur
deress, was pretty well established to
day when Dr. I. T. Norton, hof ,dentiit,
identified the human jawbone taken
from t ho ashes.
