Raincoats and umbrella were th
ruling motif In the decoration of th

land raincoats and umbrellas were the
i typical uniform In the streams of pe
I destrlans that passed up and down the
! principal streets of the city, thoroughly
enjoying the first rain of the season.
: Care seemed to have been cleared away
from the atmosphere along with th
1 dust and smoke of Summer, and smiles
of good nature ruled on the faces of
everyone of the thousands of people
In the splashing parade.
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

DALLAS, Or.. Sept 4. (Special.)
Heavy rains' fell here during the past
few days, as a result of which all the
forest fires west of here, and which
for a time threatened to spread over
a great amount of Polk's heavy tim
ber, have been put out.
Kop-ptcklng has been delayed some
In many of the yards, and threshing

Polk County Harvest Festival and
Carnival is scheduled to open. ' The

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

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

Forest Fires Are Drenched.
VANCOUVER, Wash., 6pt 4. (Spe.
claL) The rain at Tacolt and vicinity
has assisted much In putting out the
forest fire raging In the vicinity of
Horseshoe Falls, where a dozen fire
fighters have been for the past week.
The fire Is the one which swept down

T. M. C. 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

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.
