Hill's Department Store J 'Rainmaker" Asks $4,000 For 4,000 000,000 Gallons San Diego, Cal., Feb. 23. Charles M. Hatfield, the "rainmaker," today made an offer to the San Diego City Council to settle for $4,000 his $10,000 claim against the city for "filling1 Morena Reservoid. Hatfield said ha would do this rather than have the trouble of a lawsuit. His offer was re ferred to City Attorney Cosgr&ve. Councimeii Fay and Schmidt voted a- gainst it. Hatfields communication, which he first read and then filed with the Council, says; "I am not here, gentlemen, to de mand something that does not belong to me. Should you vote to deny the r-ayir-ent of the $10,000 1 will be-forced which is contrary to my own honest inclination, and I sincerely do not wish to do it, to bring suit against San Diego for ihe re-o 'ery of my fee Your refusal to pay me would imply that I failed to fill Morena. This would damage my reputation, which is not only local but national. "Of the 10,000,000,000 gallons of water impounded in Morena during the life of my demonstrations, 4,000,000,000 is my property and re main- so until paid for Iby you. This 4,000,000,0000 gallons of water at $1, 000 per billion gallons equals $4,000, To re leve your city of r'.I Tinner -ib- ligations I am willing to settle with you for this amount, namely, $4,000, although the expense of my demon stration while at Morena in the way of material, chemicals and a thousand other expenses too numerous to mention would constitute a total of $3,000.

Purin, a feast in the Jewish calen dar, falls this year on March 19. The treading of the (Book of Esther from a parchment scrool on that day con stitutes the principal feature in the Synagogue service. ' The feast recalls the deliverance of the Jews of Persia through the intervention of Queen Esther ami her kinsman Mordecad from a threatened massacre planned by Haman, the king's vizier. In the words of the Book of Esther it com memorates "the day wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies and the month wfhiich was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness and from mourning unto a good day." It was decreed that the day be observed in a joyous spirit that finds expression in sending portions to one another and gifts to the poor. (Esther Chap. 9, verso 20.) The feast bears the n&me of "Pur lin," because it is "recorded that Ha man tho arch enemy of the Jews, sought to fix the day of their destruc tion by casting "Furim" which, ec cording to a popular etymology given in the Book of Esther, means "Lots." The feast is more social in character than religious. It does not reqiyre cessation from labor or any special religious ceremony other than' the reading of tho Book of Esther and the irecitmg of a few special prayers inspired by the event commemorated. In former times the celebration in some places partook of the nature of a carnival. At present the Story of the Book of Esther is not unflrequent ly presented in dramatized form. The injunction to remember the poor was and is observed faitnfully. During fhle centuries of persecution, the feast of Piirim was quite' popular, due, per haps, to the fact that the story of , deliverance from the plottings of the tyrants, . Which the day recalled, brougfalt hope of a similar deliverance from the evil designs of existing Ha mans. Several La Grande Jews ob sdrve this historic date rigidly.
