LONG fill PERIOD Wet Weather Delays Work of Farmers. PRECIPITATION YET SHORT Dry September and October Xot Overcome by Subsequent Rain fall, and Total Is 1.65 Inches I'nder "Normal. Weather conditions in Western Oregon during the Fall and Winter of 1907-S have rot been favorablo for farm operations. Durtwr the lonp dry period in September and October the ground became semi dried, delaying Fall plowing In many places. After the long-delayed rains set In November 19, the preclpifetlon. was so constant &6 seriously to retard the work, of preparing the fields for Fall planting. Ordinary farm operations' have in the past two months been carried on at a STcat disadvantage. When Winter's rain set in November 19, the season's deficiency since Septem ber 1 was 6.86 inches, the -total rainfall being but 3.44 against a normal of 9.30 inches. These figures show the rainfall then to have been nearly 2-3 short. Since that time the total rainfall has been 1S.30 inches. The number of rainy days since November 19 has been 61 and of cloudy or clear days 11. Of December's 81 days 25 were wet and of January s 19 days. 16 have been wet. There is now a rain deficiency of 1.6S Inches belonging to the period prior to November 19. That period was uncom monly dry and the subsequent period has been unusually wet. With two exceptions, there was less rainfall in October. 1907. than in the same month in any 5"ear since the establish ment of the local Weather Bureau. During that month, of this year, the pre cipitation amounted to hut .93 of an Inch, B deficiency of S.52 inches. The heaviest rainfall during the month was on October 1, when the precipita tion amounted to .40 of an inch. On October 25 there was .27 of an inch, the first storm of any consequence after the beginning of the month. On the first day of November there was rainfall of -4S of an inch. This, how ever, was followed by a period of clear days until November 13, when the rainfall was .14 of an inch. The precipitation was merely nominal until November 19. when there was .70 of an inch. On November 23 it registered 1.51 inches. The following dav's record was 1.60 inches, the heaviest rainfall of the season. The total precipi tation for the month was .6.51 Inches, or .S! of an inch in excess of the average rainfall for the month. The last half of the month was unusually wet. There were but six clear days in De cember. The heaviest rainfall was 1.31 of an inch on December 12. The record for Christmas day was 1.23 of an inch. The total precipitation for the month was 9.10 inches or 1.71 of an inch in excess of the average for the month of Decem ber. The heaviest rainfall during the IS days of January was on January S, when the records show .95 of an inch. The next heaviest rainfall was on January IS. with .73 of an inch. The total rainfall for the month thus far is 3.72 inches, which reduces the deficiency for the season to 1.(5 inches.

PERFECT AN ORGANIZATION Consolidated German Speaking Soci eties of City Elect Officers. The Consolidated German Speaking So cieties of Portland yesterday afternoon perfected organization, a meeting of dele gates from the individual societies having been held for the purpose. The follow ing officers were elected for the year: President. Otto Kleemann; vice-president. Charles Schnabel; secretary, Ernest la- cully, the editor of the German Nach richten; treasurer, Henry Breitbarth. The officers represent 20 German societies. Committees were appointed to make prep arations for a monster mass meeting, to be held February 23 in the hall of the Port land Social Turn Verein. It is proposed that the best speakers obtainable shall make short addresses to fully explain the purpose of the organization, whicn .3 ..is local branch of the German-American Alliance.

Dayton, at the cor ner of Cottage and Chemeketa streets, was entered by burglars while the family was absent tonight and about $10 In coin was stolen. The house was ransacked for other valuables, but the burglars were cautious enough not to take any thing that could be identified. Graft Prosecutor Says His Only In formation Regarding Matter Is From the Neswpapers. Francis J. Hency, District Deputy At torney for the City and County of San Francisco, yesterday refused to discuss the action of District Attorney Langdon in annulling the Immunity contract with. Abe Ruef, who for 'years was the grafting political bOBS of San Francisco. It has been decided by the prosecution in the San Francisco graft cases to prosecute Ruef on other charges on which he has been indicted, contending that the de posed boss forfeited his claim for im munity by refusing to give important tes timony for the prosecution in the trial of Tirey L. Ford. . "I have nothing to -say regarding Dis trict Attorney Langdon's action,'- said Mr. Heney at the Portland Hotel, an ticipating the inquiry of the reporter. "The only information I have of the sit uation in San Francisco and the attitude of the prosecution towards Ruef, is con tained In yesterday's press dispatches, and until I learn more definitely of the particulars I shall make no statement for publication." Mr. Heney spent yesterday at his rooms in the hotel, resting from a week of hard work in the Hall-Mays conspiracy trial, which will be resumed at 10 o'clock this morning. The testimony for the next two or three days will be a continuation of the preliminary evidence that was pre sented last week. But It has been in timated that as the trial develops some sensational testimony will be presented. The fireworks, however, are not expected to commence before the latter part of this week. The real features of the prosecution by which it is expected to connect Hall and Mays with the alleged conspiracy will not be reached until the Government has completed the foundation on which the conspiracy charge will be built up. That foundation Heney considers is being es tablished through the introduction of the . numerous letters that passed between Hall and various settlers, together with other documentary evidence possessed by the Government. T. B. Neuhausen. Special Inspector of the Interior Department, and Irvin Rit tenhouse. private secretary to Heney, were busy the greater part of yesterday arranging the mass of testimony that will be offered by the prosecution during the week. been ruined by late frosts, as was the case generally throughout the United States, the Snake River country shipped more fruit than ever before, and there has never been a Season when the grades were finer. -The failure Of other fruits produced in other states affected the market supply and made the selling price strong for those .sections tha,t were for- Yes, the stringency was felt, all right, but the condition of the country was shown by the fact that the banks paid cash throughout the flurry. One of the Lewiston department stores conducted a cash sale right in the thick of it, and did the largest business in its history. There have been a few failures of snlall con cerns, such as occur everywhere, even in the most prosperous times: but the busi ness situation is strong, showing an In crease generally over the preceding year. You see there was a bumper wheat crop, and while a considerable part of the wheat is unsold, a greater part of It has been turned into money. The deposits of the Lewiston bank show over $300 per capita, which is 60 per cent higher than in the majority of towns, even in the Northwest, where per capita wealth is high." Mr. Rohrabacher has been secretary of the Lewlston-CIarkston Promotion Bureau And of the Lewiston Commercial -Club for the pastyear, and is now on his way to Oakland to attend the convention of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's As sociation, of which he is one of the vice presidents. He states that Lewiston will raise JIO.OOO by public subscription to carry on her publicity campaign Jointly with Clarkston another year. NOTORIOUS JOINT OFFERED TO SPOKANE PREACHER.

I MAKER or MENS CLOTHES Preaches "Square Deal" Sermon Ac ceptably to Audience of 1000 Outcasts of City. SPOKANE, Wash.. Jan. 19. (Special.) Where for many years the painted bur lesquer and the scantily clad chorus girl cavorted o" the stage and solicited drinks in the boxes and "palm garden" In the gilded variety theater known as the Coeur d'Alene, gospel hymns were heard this afternoon and the word of God was preached. "Dutch Jake"- asked that a "square deal" sermon be given and Rev. D. E. Wilson. Congregationalism accepted and made good. He was assisted by men and women of his congregation, who sat on the stage when he preached. More than a thousand persons of all classes of society were there, the lower strata predominating, and many were turned away. Chinamen, Japanese and other nationalities were sprinkled through the crowd. . "Dutch Jake" and Harry Baer, proprietors of the theater, with Ike Holland, owner of the notorious Comique, occupied a- private box. The collection totaled 2S. It was offered "Dutch Jake." but he refused it, and the clergyman used part of It to feed 17 hungry men, patronizing the lunch counter. INVESTIGATING BOND ISSUE Pendleton Hopes They Are All Right, for Money Is Needed. PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 19. (Special.) W. A. Scott, western representative of the firm of H. Rollins & Son, of Chicago, is here from Denver for the purpose of investigating the recent bond issues of the city, amounting to $135,000. with a view to recommending their purchase. While he says he will not. make any re port to his house until Mayor Murphy returns from Portland and he can have a conference with the city's executive, it is believed he considers the bonds a good Investment and will recommend their purchase to his firm. This company recently purchased through Mr. Scott J100.000 worth of Walla Walla city bonds. The rrospect of the sale of the city's paper is considered good news, inasmuch as the repairs to the .levee, the extension of the sewer system, the paving .of additional streets and the erection of a city hall, provided for in the bond issues, are greatly desired.
