HEAVY CROP L055
Grain in Shock in Western Ore
gon Has Already Suf
fered Some.
RAINFALL BREAKS RECORD
Total Precipitation for August, This
Year, Is J.6 7 Inches Frosts
Keported From Eastern
Oregon.
Following: so closely on the heavy
downpour of a week ago, yesterday's
intermittent showers, which were gen
eral in Western Oregon, have done
some damage to grain In the shock.
Jn some sections of the Willamette Val
ley not to exceed 60 per cent of the
grain crop has been threshed and it
is conceded that if the rain continues
for even two or three days the dam
age resulting: to this crop will be enor
mous. From Salem comes the report that
the prune crop is not sufficiently ma
tured to be seriously damaged by yes
terday's storm.
Hops aa Yet I ndamajted.
Hopgrowers are apprehensive of
continued rain, but the precipitation
of the last 24 hours has not damaged
the crop. Hoppicking will not be in

damp weather, if protracted, will have
a tendency to discourage the annual
exodus of pickers from the cities to
the yards.
When the official 12-hour day ended
at 5 P. 31. last night. .17 of an inch of
rain had fallen in Portland, accord
ing to measurements made by the
Weather Bureau. This brings the, to
tal rainfall for August of 1912 up to
2.67 inches, or .17 of an inch in excess
of any previous year's record since the
weather office came into being. 41
years ago.
Eastern Oregon Escapes.
The greatest precipitation hitherto
was in 18&9, when 2.50 inches was re
corded, an amount which looks like
being left further behind before the
month of August passes finally from
the calendar of 1912, for further show
ers are predicted in addition to the
amount that fell last night after the
official weather day ceased.
No precipitation of importance was
recorded yesterday in the wheaj belt
of the interior, although frosts were
. reported in a number of localities in
Eastern Oregon and Washington. Sim
ultaneously with the wet weather here,
farmers in England, particularly the
big wheat, barley and oat producers,
have suffered extensive losses through
a downfall that is almost without
parallel.
EASTERN" WASHINGTON IS HIT
Harvest but a Third Completed and
Frnit Is In Danger, Too.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., Aug. 30.
(Special.) One-fifth of an inch of rain
tell in this locality today and consid
erable damage has been done to the
uncut wheat. Around Walla Walla
nothing is injured, but in Columbia
bounty, where the harvest is but a
third completed, it Is feared the grain
will bleach, and, if the rain continues,
sprout. The wheat that has been har
rested is piled in the fields and well
covered, the previous rains having
frightened the farmers into doing this.
Fruitgrowers in the Milton-Freewa-ter
district are blue tonight, feeling
that the rain will cause the prunes and
peaches to crack open and be unsale
able. Rain this year hurt the cherries
the same way. Apples will be benefited
by the rain if sunny days follow, as it
will color them well.
WALLOWA HAS TOOST SCARE
Irrigated Land on Benches Suffers,
hut Damage Is Slight.
ENTERPRISE. Or, Aug. 30. (Spe
cial ) Heavy frost visited lower Wal
lowa County last night with minimum
temperature of 33 degrees. The dam
age done to crops is not believed to
be great, as nearly all grain was far
enough advanced to be beyond harm.
The frost, moreover, was either light
or was not felt, although on high
land, where most of the grain is raised,
as a rule, is irrigated land, suffered
more than unirrigated.
There was no frost in the north end
of the county or in the canyons.
Harvesting Is Checked.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Aug. 30. Spe
cial.) Rain in nearly all sections -of
Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho will cause suspension of har
vesting until Monday. No complaint
has yet been made of damage to the
standing grain. Sacked wheat in the
fields is being removed to shelter. A
large percentage of wheat in this re
gion has been harvested.

FIGHT NARROWS IN
GOVERNORSHIP RUN
Washington Honors Appear to
"Lie Between Ernest Lister
and E. C. Million.
DEMOCRATS SEE VICTORY
Lester Edge, of Spokane, Cnopposed
for Lieutenant-Governor, and E.
O. Connor Entitled to Nomina
tion for Representative.
SEATTLE. Aug. 30. (Special.) As
between Ernest Lister and E. C Mill
ion. Democratic candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination, one might
forecast possibilities and be safe in
sending forth a prediction. But so
long as the uncertain element of the
W. H. Dunphy candidacy obtrudes the
bourbon problem might as well be let
alone, for no one can solve it.
Dunphy is and old-timer; a former
locomotive engineer, a successful
Walla Walla attorney, for eight years
Democratic National committeeman
and about everything that goes to
make up an available candidate ex
cept West Side acquaintance.
If Dunphy be eliminated from con
sideration the Democratic scrap will
be decided between Ernest Lister of
Tacoma and E. C. Million of Seattle.
There are four other candidates H.
C Todd, a youth of 28, with a legis
lative experience, and a Seattle resi
dence of recent attainment; Judge M.
M. Godman, a Democratic warhorse
who moved In from Columbia County
after suffering a Judgeship and rep
resentative's responsibilities; L. F.
Chester of Spokane, a former railroad
attorney; and Judge W. W. Black of
Everett, who played DOtn jiar. anu
Wilson in the last primaries and ap
parently satisfied neither taction.
Some Fall by the Wayside.
cnma thot have been candidacies
of the soap-bubble character. By a
peculiar turn of fate Chester drafted
a personal platform that formed the
basis of the Democratic platform
adopted at the Walla Walla conven
tion, yet Chester has not yet succeed
ed in even arousing the curiosity of
Democratic politicians. oiacK was
twice triumphantly elected as Superior
Court Judge in an overwhelmingly
Republican district, yet he doesn't
stir up much interest outside his
county. Judge Godman started well,
but he flattened out and Hugh Todd

that this situation, however probable.
Is actually going to result, it uusm

and draw away all the voters one
counts upon to create mis conamon.
Lister Stands Well.

But, this fact is incontrovertible.
The Democratic nominee cannot wnit

cal Bull Moose vote from whoever gets

The fanatical Bull Moose will vote his
ticket straight. So the Democrat who
stands in need of outside assistance
will ha -e to pick up lnaepenaent ana
disgruntled Republican votes. Million
and Lister, of the Democratic candi
dates, are best fitted to do this and
many shrewd Democratic politicians
not only realize the fact but are so
informing their friends. Of course, if
Wilson carries the state, almost any
bourbon gubernatorial nominee would
pull through.
Lester Edge, of Spokane, undoubt
edly will receive the Democratic nomi
nation for Lieutenant-Governor. He
Is an attorney and former bourbon
leader in the House. Probably he is
as well or better equipped for guber
natorial responsibilities as any of the
seven men who are running for the
higher office.
F. O. Connor, of Spokane, should, by
all rules of politics, receive one of the
two nominations for Representative-at-Large.
Nobody is competent to
forecast the other nomination. It would
be neither safe nor fair to venture a
prediction as to the outcome of the
fight for the three Congressional
nominations in the trio of districts.
There isn't enough controversy over
the remainder of places on the Demo
cratic ticket throughout the state to
make speculation profitable or inter

Wlckersuam Denies Havln; Killed
on Subject Attorney-Generai Mc
Dougall Will Be Asked to
Make Formal Ruling.
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 30. (Special.)
Is Idaho entitled to three or four
Presidential electors? This is the ques
tion that is causing no little discussion
and some confusion in political circles.
Charles D. -Hilles. who has charge of
President Taft's campaign declares that
Idaho is entitled to four electors. The
general impression which has been ac
cepted by the leaders of both the Re
publican, Democratic and Socialistic
parties has been that this state had
but three. Attorney-General D. C.
McDougall has not rendered a formal
opinion on the issue, but will do so
before the state committee meets. He
believes now that it will be wise for
each party to nominate four electors
in order that there will be no con
fusion. In a telegram sent to Republican
party leaders here Secretary Hilles
says: "It appears from your opinion
respecting the number of candidates
for Presidential electors to which Idaho
is entitled, that Attorney-General Wick
ershara gave an opinion restricting
your state to three. It is my con
tention that you are entitled to one
for each Senator and one for each
member of the House of Representa
tives. Have received the following
telegram from the Attorney-General:
No- Opinion Rendered.
" I have had no occasion to express
an opinion and have given none, nor
so far as I can ascertain has anybody
In this department, concerning the
number of votes in the electoral col
lege to which Idaho Is entitled, or any
thing of the sort.' "
- The Republican and Socialist parties
DaiDi.taH ihir electors, the Re
publican state committee naming three
and the Socialist convention n-niuii con
vened in Boise, July 30, naming four.
After selecting their electors the So

not render an opinion, niinuunu
was then and still is inclined to the
ki cfoto shnuld have four
electors, irrespective of the fact that
the apportionment generally accepted by
party leaders gave tne state out mice.
Heltman Saya "Three."
Sfato Chairman Charles L. Heltman
helieved and so informed the state cen
tral committee when it met here prior
to the primary election, that iaano was
entitled to but three electors and upon
his suggestion the committee named
Kerr, of Fremont County, Cannon, of
Washington, and Hogan, of Kootenai.
, t j iB bo 1 H ti hn under the
ml. llciLlliau ,o ' '
impression that Attorney - General
Wickersham had decided iaano waa
only entitled to three electors and that
Attornev-General McDougall had ren
dered a similar opinion.
According to tne telegram i
Hilles, Attorney-General Wickersham
never rendered such an opinion, nor
so far as he knows no one in the De
partment of Justice did. Attorney
General McDougall also declares that
he never rendered a formal opinion,
although he may do so later.
It Is now probable that the Repub
lican state central committee will
nominate a fourth elector. The Demo
cratic state central committee will
