Throughout Northwest Will Probably Continue. CROP OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS Generous Precipitation After 44 Days of Sunshine In Oregon, Washington and Idaho Will Be Boon to Agriculture. Thunderstorms accompanied by consid. erabla rainfall are ' expected today and for the next few days, perhaps, over the district from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and extending - well south. Into California. For the last 44 days, or since June 29, the Northwest States, Ore gon, Washington and Idaho, have been almost entirely without rain. June 27, 28 and 29 were rainy days, the total precipi tation during these three days being .34 of an inch. On July 12 there was a very slight sprinkle and again on July 16 a little rain fell, but outside of these two desultory and entirely unimportant show ers the parched earth in the Northwest country has not been dampened all dur ing July and the two weeks of August Just closing. At 7:12 o'clock last evening the skies which had been darkening throughout the afternoon opened and a gentle fall of rain began. By 9 o'clock .05 of an inch had fallen, and District Weather Forecaster Beals states that the prospects are good for a continuation of cloudy and damp weather. Crops throughout the Northwest have experienced a severe set-back from the continued drought and it was with silent thanks that many a farmer of Oregon, Washington and Idaho last evening noticed the first cooling drops, harbingers of cloudy weather. Added to the long dry spell the month of July this year produced some of the warmest weather which this section of the country has seen for many years and as a conse quence grain has been burned ' in the earth, and many were compelled to sow again. One fact alone was cheering to the farmer. The month of June was decidedly wet and the ground received such a thorough dampening then that it was some time before all the moisture , was drawn out. This aided, the new-sown grain to take root and gather strength to resist the fierce rays of the glaring sun which beat down last month. There are but few drier spells on rec ord Jn the North Pacific States than the one just past. During the period of 59 days, extending from June 24, 1875, to August 22, a rainfall of but .02 of an inch was- recorded. In 1SS3 there was no pre cipitation during the 67 days from June 6 to August 1. But .03 of an inch of rain fell during the 47 days from June 22, 1887, to August 12. There were 46 totally dry days in the Summer, of 1889. extending from July 1 to August 17. Again in 1896 from June 11 to August 1 there was a totally dry spell of 61 days. The rainfall this year has been irregular In that all the months except February and June have had a deficiency of pre cipitation. The following table will serve to illustrate this fact: Total.

WILL REVISE THE CHARTER St. Johns Council Appoints Commit tee to Do the Work. The St. John's Council has appointed a special committee to revise the charter, or rather to prepare a new charter. LittLe of the document now In force will be retained. City Attorney green has grown gray in his efforts to Interpret the contradictory provisions of this re markable document. It was gotten up in a hurry, pieced together with parts from ' the Portland charter and other charters, and in many places the parts do not fit together. Nowhere Is the Mayor given power to veto an ordinance, which he may approve. There is no direct grant of power to Issue a license, the power being implied. Most of the provisions are vague. The revisers will have a job on thir hands.. Bowel Complaint in Children., When six months old the little daugh ter of E. . N.

IIUTO GO HIDES WITH CUD VISITORS FROM SEATTLK ARK GIVEN SHAKING UP. Street-Car Chauffeur Proves the Superiority of Electricity Over Gasoline. A big touring car with five occupants locked horns with a Washington-street car at Seven and Washington streets yesterday afternoon, while each was trav eling at a moderate Bpeed. The street car chauffeur demonstrated that his ma chine was the stronger, and the auto was compelled to retreat to the sidewalk Involuntarily, while the occupants were tumbled to the pavement. Street-car pas sengers were uninjured, but the occu-; pants of the touring car were shaken up considerable, and Edward Fossas re ceived a bruised arm. The others es caped without injury, but their clothing was slightly disarranged by coming in contact with the street. Edward Fossas, G. C. Hupp. D. J. Mil ler, Elmer Relchenbach and F. J. Seng felder, all of Seattle, were the occupants of the automobile. The collision resulted in damaging a tire and the spokes of the machine, but did no further damage. WILL TALK- IRRIGATION Expert Engineers Meet at Boise September 3 in Conference. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 12. The fourth annual con ference of the engineers of the United States Reclamation Service will be held at Boise, Idaho, September 3 to 8, the fourteenth irrigation congress also being in session at Boise at that time. This conference in continuation of the general policy of holding annually a meeting of the principal engineers of the Reclamation Service for the purpose of discussing matters of administration and economics of work. The bringing to gether of these engineers and prominent citizens of the West make possible an interchange of views and a discussion of data leading to results of very great value in the furtherance of the purposes of the reclamation act. Each of the engineers, experts and spec ialists in various lines will submit a brief paper embracing some point of gen eral interest, such as detailed methods of cost, keeping, of designing, construc tion, maintenance, or operation. Owing to the advanced condition of many of the Irrigation projects now under construc tion it is expected that this conference will be of more than usual interest and importance MUST NOTIFY LAND OFFICE Homesteaders Liable to Overlook Filing Notice of Intention. ECHO, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) The notices given by registered mail to home steaders on odd numbered sections of the Northern Pacific lieu lands to notify the Land Office that they desire to re tain their filings and to do so within 60 days are piling up In the Postoffice here. The lands are claimed by the Northern Pacific, and the recent act of Congress gives the railroad the lands where the settler does not notify the Government that he desires to complete his proofs. This will work a hardship upon some who are away at work in the harvest fields and who will not receive their notices in time to comply with the instructions. Many of the settlers In the dry portions of the Umatilla country are unable to make a living on the lands, but have been holding on in the hopes of various Gov ernment and private irrigation projects being ultimately completed. These men during harvest scatter far and wide, some of them being In British Columbia and others In California, trying to make a living and obtain means to make improve ments in the Winter, put in crops, etc. Many of them are careless as to their addresses and mail reaches them irregu larly. Others, of course, are not bona fide settlers, but are speculators awaiting a time when the claims will be valuable. The good with the bad will be swept out. Rich red blood naturally results from taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. It tones the whole system. Rebels at Thought of Being Dog Catcher A. H. Dowllnc. Chief of Police of Mllwaukle, Declare He Will Re mlgn Before He Will Attempt to Round Ip Ownerless Canines. HAT? The dog-catcher of this W town? Well, I guess nit!" Thus exclaimed A. H. Dowling, Chief of Police of Milwaukie, yesterday, and after tomorrow night, when the Council meets, there will be a vacancy in the of fice of Marshal, bo far as Mr. Dowling la concerned. "I was elected to be Chief of Police, and had a big majority over all other candidates, and now they want to tack on the measly Job of catching canines and making their owners pay licenses. I won't stand for it. What is the pay for all this added work? Nearly nothing. There they want the Chief of Police to accept two-bits for catching a dog, then & cents a day for feeding him. Then if the owner can't be found I have got to shoot the cur. Then drag him half a mile out in the country and sock him into a hole that I'd have to excavate with pick and shovel for four-bits. I say I won't stand for it. "Billy" Shindler, the boss of the town, can't make me. My resignation is made out, and will go to the Council Tuesday night." , In view of the coming vacancy in the office of the Chief of Police of Milwaukie a number of names are mentioned as pos sible candidates for the office, and among them are: Ex-Policeman Isakson, of Portland; Captain Bruin, also of Port land; editor of the Milwaukie Bee, Ben Irwin; Richard Scott.
