An excessive cloudiness prevailed during the week, and while showers occurred nearly every day in the north west counties and on two or three days in the southern and eastern sec tions of the State, the total amount of rainfall was not excessive, and all rivers have slowly fallen. The morn ings averaged from one to two de grees below normal, but the after noons, on account of cloudy weather, were much cooler than usual, especial ly in the Willamette valley and the coast counties. The soil is well moist ened, and a spell of bright, warm weather is now desired. No frosts occurred and the winds, while high in a few localities, were not damaging; whose Candidacy was unexpectedly sprung at the last minute, received a complimentary vote.
