A HEAVY SHOWER.
How Yesterdays Rainfall Compared
with Other showers This Year.

Yesterday afternoon a very heavy shower
passed over Portland. although the center of
the shower passed little to the west of the
city, it rained here for a short time just
before three O'Clock, about as hard as it has
any time this year. Torrents rushed down
the streets filling the culverts and flooding
the sewers. little over three-qualters of
an inch of water fell, the exact amount be-
ing rs of an inch. Just prior 10 the shower
the wind blew "a miles per hour, making
things quite lively in some localities. There
were quite bad wash outs in number OF
places,and in other places large quantities of
sand and debris were washed upon the
th0roughfares and will have to be removed.
Shortly before 80 D. m. it had stopped rain
ing. Up to 4.30 p m. yesterday 2015 inches
of rain has fallen since the first of last Jan
uary. The heaviest fall OF rain thus far
this year occurred on the 10th day of last
June. In the shower of that day 20 inches
Of water fell during period of % minutes.
That was the nearest to genuine cloud
burst of anything that Portland has exper-
fenced this year. For short time yesterday
however, the rain fell at the rate of over an
inch per hour. 1t was one of the wettest
showers Of the year.

mr.. sIethen's Kewspapgr Venture.

Mr.. Alden j. Blethen is walking into the
newspaper field Of Minnesota with a great
deal of dash and enterprise. For several
months he has owned the MINI eapolis Morn
ing Tribune, buying 1t of the Haskells, who
retained the Evening Journal for them
selves. At the time of this purchase Mr..
Blethen also purchased of the Journal
Printing Company an afternoon franchise of
the Associated Press. The object sought by
this purchase was to secure the right from
the Associated Press to issue an all day
newspaper, which could be obtained only in
this way; and, also, to secure the afternoon
service of sthe Associated Press, which was
then owned exclusively by the Journal com.
pany. In looking over the field it was found
that the Evening Star had made great pro-
gress as local paper, and only lacked the
news franchise Of the Associated Press TO
put it on par with any evening paper in
the country. Having determined to issue an
evening edition Of the Tribune, Mr.. Blethen
decided to purchase the Star, and has done
SO. The evening edition of the Star will be-
come the evening edition of the, Tribune.
This combination will start off with circu-
latlon of over 10000 copies, and will be the
only all day newspaper published northwest
OF Chicago, and in fact the only paper in the
West issuing morning, noon. 2, 8, and 5
