Monday Coolest
October Day In
Fourteen Years

Oregon's soidest snap for October in
IA years occurred this past month
when the mercury dropped to 10 de-
grees above zero on the night of the
27th.
This unusual wave of coldness
struck the Willamette valley as the tail
of the cold snap which has just pass
ed over eastern Oregon and other
northwestern states. While no great
damage resulted from the frosts on the
25th, 26th. 27th and 28th, late vege-
tables, tomatoes and grapes suffered
severely and the gathering of the re-
naming apple crop was fastened con-
siderably. -.
Not only is October of this year un-
usully cold but it is also the driest of
all the october months since 1907. The
total precipitation for October of this
year was 1.42 inches and SO inches for
October of 1907.
Although there has been but little
rainfall all except days of the month
have been cloudy or partly so and
when old Sol did appear at his best he
raised the mercury to II degrees, the
highest the mercury has registered for
October since this month in 1913.
