COUNTRY BADLY
III rJEED DF RAIN
Heavy Showers of Past Few
Days Fill Long Felt
Want.
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
