BE HOSTS TO HUNDREDS! "vTfor an "Jour's recess'
Continued from Saturday, July 19.
The warmest day of the year was
recorded bare yesterday by local Wea
ther Observer Scth l-reiich, with a
maximum temperature of 88 degrees
at A o'clock in the a;u-rnooii. Accord
ing to the forecast it will continue
warm and fair.
However, comparing tlic record of
yesterday with mat of previous years
the temperature is far from being a
record breaker, considering that this
is ihe month of July.
The coiilra-t with the cool weather
oi' June and early July was sufficiently
great, however, to set electrical fans
whirring madly, people to gasping and
(tiling for cooling drinks and to bring
;:luntt a 50 per cent increase in the
amount of vacation talk.
The unusual heat of yesterday was
roticcd from n o'clock when the iher
lonuier made a quick jump over the
mark registered .".t X o'clock. It grad
ually went up during. Ihe rest of the
day tmlil 3 o'clock when the highest
temperature of the day was recorded.
At 7 o'clock the thermometer began
to drop.
The coolest place to be found was
at Chautauqua park and even there
during part of the day it was decided
ly uncomfortable. The lowest lem
".anire recorded yesterday was 58
degrees and that was early in the
morning. The highest temperature
Thursday was 84 degrees. .
According to a report from Eugene
the people of that city sweltered un
der a temperature of (l degrees yes
terday, which was eight degrees high
er I haii il lias been any day this sum
mer. A slight breeze all during the
day made the day tolerable and no
one considered the heat excessive.
The minimum temperature was 46.

Following one of the upheavals, ac
cording to word received here this
morning by Agent iloydar, caused
by one of the blasts, a big obstruc
tion struck the trolly wire, tearing it
down and causing considerable dam
age to the wire line. Linemen and a
section gang were quickly dispatched
to l he scene, where they have been
busily engaged all of the morning.
Work of repairing tfic damage was
completed shortly after 1 o'clock. The
breaking of the main trolley wire cut
off the electricity of the entire sys
tem. Traffic has been exceedingly inmcd-

son of W. D. Wheeler, proprietor of
the Cliff House fell from a scaffold
thirty five feet high while shingling
and broke both legs at noon yesterday.
The right leg was broken, above the
ankle, and the left below the knee. It
