Without the copious showers of the paBt few days, this district would pos sibly have suffered seriously from lack of moisture, because April was one of the dryest months ever recorded by the local weather bureau. This 'is shown by the monthly report Just issued by District Forecaster E. A. Benin. It says: "The month was the dryest April In this section during the last 20 years, and within that time there have been only four April that were cooler than this one. The. deficiency in precipita tion was most marked In the western counties, where the average was only 1 14 inches, and never before has so little rain fallen as has been recorded In that section of the state for this period of the yea. In the eastern coun ties the month was not so dry as It was In 1S90. 1S91, J90S and 1906. "Killing; frosts occurred most fre quently on the mornings of April 1, 8. K.. 17, 18. 19, 21, 22 and 30, that on the Ifcth being the most widespread and probably the most damaging, while next in importance was. the frost that oc curred on the morning of the 7th, which was nearly as widespread but not so damaging. "The moat rain usually falls on the west slope of the Coast mountains in the northern portion of the state, but this year the- April record showed the heaviest amount to be along the weBt elope of the Cascade mountains In the northern portion of the state, while the nxt heaviest amount was in the rainy district of the Coast mountains. An other rainy district was along the West slopes of the Hlue mountains in Uma tilla county, where over two inches was measured. Several stations in the south central portion of the state reported no precipitation whatever. On the 9th severe dust storms oc curred in I'matilla. Wallowa and Mor row counties. There were few thunder storms and but little fog during the month. "The monthly mean temperature (western district). 48.7 degrees, or 1 1 degrees below, the normal; monthly (eastern district), 45.3 degrees, or 2.2 degrees below the normal; mean for Hie state, 47.0 degrees, or 1 .
