Ad Club Puts Fake
Advertising Scheme
Out of Commission
In an effort to protect Portlanders and
visitors from fake advertisers during
the conventions in the city this month,
the better business bureau of the ; Port
land Ad club has started active work
with the result that one misrepresenta
tion has been corrected. ' An advertise
ment was Inserted in a newspaper sev
eral days ago calling for the services of
100 men which proved to be only a ruse
to obtain money under false pretense.
Upon investigation by the bureau it
was discovered that Harry Holland and
Phil Rock were representing that they
had arranged to put on a theatrical act
at The Oaks and also for the Shrine con
vention committee. They required a de
posit of $2.50 for the position. Investi
gation developed that neither The Oaks
nor the Shrine committee had arranged
any such performance. , Money will be
refunded immediately to 14 men who ap
plied for positions, announced C W.
English of the bureau. . ;

GARDENERS. SMILE
TO SEE 'EM GROW
Rain of incalculable benefit -to
the farming sections of Oregon be
gan early Sunday morning and in
24 .hours had registered .66 of, an
inch at the Portland weather bureau.
Indications for Its continuance are
good, according to District Meteor
ologist E. I Wells, who said that
it was apparently extending to the
dry stretches of the central and
eastern portions of the state, which
were untouched by : the downpour
Sunday. . ' ,
Oregon City had 1.01 inches of rain
Sunday, Salem .78 of an inch, Albany
.68 and Eugene .66. . . ., . ,
SOUTHERN, OREGON SLIGHTED
Southern Oregon did not get so much.
Roseburg ' reporting .08 of ' an inch.
Marshfield had .98. Often it rains at
Seaside when the ! sun is shining In
Portland, buf the condition was almost
reversed Sunday, as i the rain . at Sea
side did not begin until the afternoon
and North Head had only .52 of an
inch to report this morning.,
Heavy rains also descended on West
ern Washington Sunday and today. The
Dalles had r23 of an inch, but there was
none around Baker or Walla , Walla
Portland's last heavy rain was on
May 17, when .62 of : an inch - was reg
istered. There have been very light
showers since then, but the last drop of
precipitation, was on ; May 28, when .04
fell.
The Willamette began rising ' In its
upper . reaches as a result of the rain,
.1 of a foot being reported at Eugene
and .2 at Albany. ... ' j
COLUMBIA IS BJSIXG i.
The Columbia Is also rising, but it is
because of melting snow and not rain
At Lewiston, on the Snake river, the
rise was .4 of a foot: at Umatilla, .5 of
a foot, and The Dalles, .3 of a foot.
These probably will combine to give
the Willamette at Portland a lift
towards the end of the week.
A rainfall is just about the most wel
come thing that could have been given
farmers. Under its gentle influence.
Sunday, garden things could almost be
seen growing, and in the city, thousands
of new blown roses put in their belated
appearance.
