ELECTRIC STORM Is
FOLLOWED BY RAIS

Following a day of high humidity
and sultriness, last night about
o'clock an electric storm of more than
ordinary proportions visited Salem
and vicinity. The lightning was vivid
and almost constant but the thunder
was not Of much consequence. Light
rains fell in the early part of the ev-
ening and during the night, but to-
ward morning they became heavier
until this morning when heavy and
frequent showers fell.
A great deal of damage is likely to
result from the showers unless the
weather should turn off clear, as in
the hop yards the lice are becoming
prevalent and the honey dew Is on the
Increase. The owners of the yards,
are, however, spraying their yards and
every effort is being put forth to pre-
vent the spread of lice and honey dew.

Believing that the various state in
