The. damage caused by the rain will depend on the weather in the immediate future, with conditions tonight, indicating clear skies to morrow. The. ground is drying rapidly and picking was resumed today in many orchards. The rain caused pronably 20 per cent of crop In this section to fall and unless weather conditions permit prompt handling of the fruit it will be lost. .The heaviest direct loss attributable to the storm was to fruit in boxes ex posed to the rain overnight, but this was a very small percentage of the crop.

Osborne, secretary of the Oakland, Cal., society ; for the prevention of cruelty to ani mals before the American Humane association here today., Mr. Osborne took a prominent part in a discussion of the rodeo at the humane convention. He pointed out that so far as he knew the cruel 'features of the rodeos had been eliminated. 'Qur rules are very strict for rodeos, and I have always found the rodeo companies willing to accept, any suggestions. Humane organiza tions should get together :'wtth' rodeo companies and gradually eliminate objectionable features." Several delegates expressed the opinion that financial failure of the rodeo will result when cruel features are eliminated and cited several instances where they said this had. been the case. : "The Pendleton Round-up lost money last- year and: they are go lag to lose, more," said Mrs. P. W. Swanton, general manager of the Oregon Humane society. "There is cruelty every time an animal is exploited," sha said, "Even if the . animal is never touched, the mere fact that it Is chased about and frightened is cruel." She praised the pageantry of the Pen dleton event and said that it caused - the society less trouble than many little shows put on every fourth of July. John F.
