MONDAY IS THE HOTTEST DAY IN THE PAST THREE YEARS Temperature Was Equalled in 1908 and 1919. and Surpassed in 1911 Hermiston and all surrounding towns are suffering from the intense heat this week. The mercury reached its highest here Monday when it reg- Istered 108 at the Reclamation of fice. This temperature was equalled in 1908 and 1919, and only once sur passed in 1911 wh.cn 110 was regis tered. There lias been a slight de crease In the temperature since Mon day, the thermometer registered 98 yesterday, but no decided relief from heat is yet in sight. It will be of interest to the people of Hermiston to know that the high est total temperature for the month of June for the past 15 years was re. corded last month. Other cities in different parts of Oregon and Washington are also suffering from the hot weather. Port land’s hottest day was Sunday when 95 was leached. Monday in Pendle ton It was 109 and in Walla Walla it was 107.
