RAINS HALT HARVESTING THROUGHOUT
COUNTY AND FARMERS FEAR THEY WILL
HAVE TO SUSPEND WORK SEVERAL DAYS

should the bad weather continue for
several days The rain will necessi-
tate turning over the wheat sacks
now strewn about the fields.
The rain last night was preceded
by thunder and lightning and the
downpour was very unusual for this
time of the year. The deluge has
set many farmers to repeating stories
of the famous wet summer four or
five years ago Owing to the fact
harvesting in this county began
rather late this season threshing work
is not as far along as it would be
under normal conditions. 1t Is esti-
mated that throughout the whole of
the county about one half the grain
is threshed, Had the rain waited an
other 10 days most of the wheat would
have been in sacks.
That the rain was general over
| the entire county is shown by tele-
| phonic reports received here today
! The storm seems to have been es-
pecially severe to the southwark. \
heavy rain is reported as underway
on Camas prairie today and the roads
are being rendered very hard for
travelling.
The only people who are not be-
moaning the rain are sheepmen and
cattlemen who find the rain a bless
ing rather than curse because II
will mean better grass during the re-
Imainder of the season.

DARROW PLEADS FOR
HIMSELF TO JURY
In Eloquent Argument lie Declares
Case Rests Alone on Testimony
of Bert Franklin.

Los Angeles, Aug. 15.-Clarence
Darrow today resumed his argument
in his own defense. He declared the
whole case of the state rested on
the testimony of Bert Franklin, whom
he denounced as liar.
Darrow's address to the jury today
was regarded as the greatest orator.
ical effort of his long career. He said
that IL he was sent to prison 1t would
be on the word of Franklin as against
men like himself, Frank Wolfe, a
newspaper man, job Hartman, Fre-
mont Older, editor of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin and Lecomte Davis.
Judge Hutton announced today that
he would have his charge to the
jury prepared tomorrow morning
and ready for delivery Immediately
after District Attorney Fredericks
finishes his address late in the af-
ternoOn. This insures the case being
in the hands of the jury late tomor-
row night
Darrow closed his defense with a
burst of oratory, He said. MY
name Is a by-word of reproach in
some places. But lack in my home
town there are others who still be-
lieve in me. | know that deep down
in the mines, in stores and in rail-
road shops, are thousands who are

As a result of a heavy rain which
began to fall about o'clock last eve
ming ana has continued with inter-
ruptions ever since harvesting is again
completely suspended in Umatilla
county and farmers are anXiously OBJ
serving the clouds wondering how
long it will last"
SO heavy was the downpour that
suming harvesting work this morn
ing and suspension of work for
several days seems probable. Grain
growers are suffering from the loss Of
time incurred by the shut down and
they are also in line for some dam
aged wheat How much the loss will
be is still problematical as it all de-
pends upon how quickly normal
weather is restored.
That last nights rain has bleached
the wheat to some extent Is generally
declared. This will work against
both the weight and the quality of
wheat and may mean a lower price
than would have otherwise been Sc
cured. Reports received also show
that some wheat was knocked down
| by the rain last night. However II
seems but little loss will result from

alarmed lest the rain injured the quail.
