It was a warm rain. It was a re freshing rain, and It fell steadily all day, while the good nature of th I crowds seemed to Increase In direct proportion to the swelling of the ' streams of water that gurgled along every curbstone. Portland was not alone In receiving ; the downpour, although the shower was heavier In this vicinity than in any other portion of the state. Reports of rain came Into the office of the Weather Bureau from every station in the western half of Oregon, excepting along the Coast. The showers extend ed north above, Seattle and southward to Eureka, while Eastern Oregon and Washington also reported a slight rain fall. In the Valley It was lighter at Medford than anywhere else. Tubers to Benefit. Although the programme for Labor . day In Portland was fairly drowned out. as far as outdoor entertainments were concerned, nothing but good re sults from the shower are expected In very other respect. . The crop of potatoes In the Wlllam tte Valley, as a result of the thorough drenching It has received In the past three days, promises to reach bigger figures than any of the farmers hoped for three weeks ago, when a series of unusually hot dry days was parching the ground and withering the plants. The greatest work accomplished by the timely precipitation was checking of the forest fires that were raging In several of the districts about Port land and Jn other sections of Oregon It Is now believed that the season of forest fires Is safely at an end. with mailer loss of timber than In any preceding year. Between 800 and 1000 men who have been pressed Into service against the flames In the timber be yond Estacad will now be able to with draw from the fight, with compara tive certainty that their troubles In this line are at an end.

This is the heavi est rain storm that hua ever occurred here so early In September. Last year and the year before there was prac tically no rainfall in the entire Sum mer, up to September 10.

HA IX HALTS HOP-PIOKUfG Japanese Work, but Others Wait Tor Dry Days Delay Only Damage. Hop-picking was to have started In most of the Oregon hopyards yester day, but was generally prevented by the steady rain. A hopyard is a gloomy place In a rain storm and few of the pickers care to venture out of their tents. The few yards that had Japa nese pickers engaged began work on time, as the Japanese have no objec tions to working among the dripping vines.' Some of the pickers who went tin from Portland Saturday to the large yards about exhausted their- cash when they bought their railroad tickets. They depended on earning enougn to pay lor tneir meals and loading ana wouia De in a bad way necause or me aeiay Dut ror the gen erosity of the yard owners, who are providing for their wants until they can earn money to pay their way. But for the delay it has caused the rainfall would be welcomed by the growers. It will freshen up the vines and when the storm is over make picking cleaner and easier. The mois ture will also fill out the hops better and Increase their percentage of lunulln. A few more days of rain will cause no worry on the part of th growers, but they hope that by the middle of the week the weather conditions will change. fw ; . v ft Irk Mr, U til E v : m ''24:2: Pa 2?a I DO AS THEY DO Th 1 J.

CONGRESS JOB STODIED FIVE REFTJBUCAJJS MENTIONED AS POSSIBLE ASPIRANTS. CMATILLA WELCOMES RAIN Harvest Operations Completed When Showers Come. PENDLETON. Or. Sept. 4. (Special.) Rain, the first In many days, felj throughout Umatilla County this even ing. All harvest operations, with th exception of a few Isolated cases, have been completed, and th downpour was welcomed. fc'early a quarter of an laeh of rain, ar taaa lallta allegata John F. Logan, Roger B. Slnnott, Q. 3. Bfoser, George Shepherd and Ralph Clyde Suggested. Five Republicans have been Bug gested already as probable candidates for Representative in Congress from this district. That number does not Include Lafferty, who has said that he would try for re-election, jonn . Logan, ohairman of the Republican City Central Committee, has been con lderina- entering the contest, tie el pects to decide the matter finally with in a few days. Roger B. Slnnott, brother of State Senator Slnnott, of The Dalles, would like to make the race, but he Is waiting to see what some of the other probable candidates will do. G. C. Moser has also been proposed as the man for the Republi can nomination. Although George S. Shepherd has not said that he "would run," he has not announced that be would not. This Is almost rtie equivalent of the announce ment of his candidacy. Organised labor is said to be groom ing Ralph Clyde for the place in case Dr. Harry Lane does not become the Democratic nominee. Another report has It that Clyde, who was elected state Representative from this county last year, will next year be a candi date for state Senator. There prevail a strong susploion that Dr. Lane has his eyes on the Democratlo nomination for either Rep resentative from this dlstrlot or Sena tor to suooeed Bourne, But Lan re mains as eoy as evr. Whan oharged that he has aspirations to go to Wash ington, he simply smiles and makes no efforts to deny 'the indictment.

A. loon's meeting on two oc casions recently, was grilled by Dr. Benjamin Young, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, and by Rev. W. F. Reagor, of the First Chris tian Church, at tha meeting of the Portland General Ministerial Associa tion yesterday, morning for his recent "tentative" statement that 95 per cent of the buildings used for immoral pur poses In Portland are either owned or leased by church members. "I want to say, 'tentatively, that that man Is a liar," declared Dr. Younsr. with some heat. "I know It isn't true In my church, and I am sure it Is not true of others. There Is too much of this sort of thing going on, this mak ing of tentative' statements without ascertaining the facts, and we ought to call a man who makes such reckless statements. When a man who pro fesses to be an expert on this question makes a statement like that he proves that he Isn't an expert. "What we need in Portland now Is enforcement of law. We have plenty of machinery. We have adequate law, but what we need is for the authorities to 'get busy and enforce the laws that are on the statute books." Inquiry So Far Futile. Rev. Mr. Reagor followed Dr. Young. He said: "1 would Ilk to see the man who said 95 per cent of the property of this olty used for Immoral purposes is owned by members of the Christian Church. I want to see what kind of a thing he is. If we have any power at all, we ought to enforce it upon the authorities of this city to enforce the law. . uimiuar oi ministers and some laymen have met several times, and have discussed the question for three or four hours at a time, but have never reached results. No man who will lis ten or look can question the truthful ness of these statements that have been made. We are all aerreeri tht Something must be done. We appointed a committee to lnvestlsata. but th uiun i uo ic May Da they had feet.' -If we move out we must the support of our laymen and . u . . 4t ur ui witt lavmen nr nv church own any of this property that uas oeen spoaen or, he will not stay there long." Dr. Luther R, Dyott said he wa not surprised that Dr. Young had his "war paint- on, Dut thought laymen ought to assist the ministers in any investi gation or action. Mr. Nellan. when asked last nlo-hr whether he had any first-hand infor mation to confirm his statement re garding the ownership of houses used for lmmosal purposes, intimated that when the real facts are presented to the ministers there may be some sur prises. Detailed Statement Promised. It's time to think about your hunting equipment If you don't own a Winchester and haven't been using Winchester ammunition, it's time that you should. The superiority of this combination is well established. Winchester guns are made for all kinds of shooting and Winchester ammunition for 1 all kinds of guns. No matter what you hunt there is a Winchester gun and cartridge suitable for your purpose. The example of such men of achievement as Roosevelt, Peary and Whitney, and thousands of others, is a good one to follow. Thev use Winchester guns and Winchester ammunition witn satisiacuon anu success. So can you. Winchester Rifles, Shotguns and Ammunition are made in the same plant for each other and sold everywhere. Drop into your dealer's before the season opens and renew your acquaintance with the old Win chester models and make friends with the new. When you go to your dealer dont sav vou want "a gun or some cartridges." Ask for a Win chester and Winchester make of ammunition. as members of the human race. Giving them 90 days on the rockplle is only half doing it." The association sent the following telegram yesterday: President W. H. Taft. Washington, D.
