So small was the rainfall In July,
comprising but .05 of an Inch for the
31 days, that It came within a mite of
being a record breaker during the 37
years the weather station at Portland
has been In existence, says the Tele'
gram. In July, 1883, there was no
precipitation, and during the same
month In 188 and 1896 only traces
were recorded. Usually there Is a fair
rainfall in July. In 1902 It amounted
to 1.7 Inches during the month.
The last shower to occur In July of
this year was on J.he 13th of the
month, when the precipitation meas
