The showers was just what the po tatoes needed. As a consequence there Is likely to be the biggest crop of spuds on the Pacific coast this year, in the history of the country. Late rotables will be similarly benefitted. During the first three days in Juiy 1907, the rainfall was 1.19 inches, the ! oo the nrpsenf showers 'nan JXtulc: ' Jf amounted to on the morning of the gth Tuesday. With this exception there had been no downpours prev iously at this particular period since the first week in July, 1902, when the precipitation measured 1.67 inches. Only once since 1871 has there been a greater amount of . precipita tion recorded on the 4 th; and that was In 1900 when th5re was 0.30 of an Inch. PASSED AWAY. Mrs. E. M. Young Dirfs in Portland Monday Morning. A gloom of sadness was cast over the city last Monday evening when the news was flashed over the wires trom Portland announcing the pass ing away of Mrs. E. M. Young, who went there for the purpose of under going an operation, from thel effects of which she never recovered. Mrs. Toung had been a sufferer for sev eral years and about two years ago underwent a similar operation. Al though she got relief at the time It did not prove permanent and while he has been able to be up and around nearly all the time she has been a constant sufferer, and it was as a last resort that another opera tion was consented to, it being the opinion of her physician that it would be her only chance for permanent re covery. Mrs. E. M. Young was a daughter of James and Elizabeth Jones, and was born In Polk, county,' Oregon, five miles north of Independence, August 2, 1868, and died at Portland, Oregon, July 5, 1909.
