Hatfield, better known as "the Rain Maker," is busily engaged in the unique art of- manufacturing moisture, says the Sunday Oregonian. The conditions of nature which have made Portland one of the wet test cities in the West has made Was co and its Sherman county environs one of the driest. Considering the fact that the two cities are only 90 mill? ai'art, these conditions appeal to the layman as being remarkable. To Hatfield, however, there is noth ing strange in the fact that these two extr-.mes are represented within a district of less than 100 miles' radius The student of meteorology declares that taking the location of the two cities into consideration, the condi tio!. s could not possibly be different. Hatfield does not claim to be pos sessed of any supernatural powers and lays the credit for his results to advanced science. He explains in full the method by which he purports t draw rain from the clouds. The "luinmuker" employs chemicals and el.-ctricity in his work and his ex planation in regard to the results he claims to achieve are considered by many to be more than plausible. Hatfield, in filling his contracts, lo cate himself in the mountains at the highest altitude in the neighborhood of the district he has been engaged to secure rain for. He then erects a derrick in the immediate vicinity of an artificial water supply. This w. ter is evaporated by a chemical pro cess and treated with elecUiclty, af ter which it is liberated. After lib eiation, according to Hatfield, the evaporated water comes In contact .with rain-laden clouds as they are being forcer over the tops of the mountains by the air current and pre cipitation follows. The "rain maker" works on the theory that clouds con taining millions of tons of moisturt pass over dry districts, but at such a high altitude that they fall to dis charge the water within them. Hatfield declares that his reason for selecting the mountains as a base for his operations Is to be In a posi tion to treat the so-caled moisture laden clouds directly. He maintain that all cities or districts directly east of a mountain range are invariably dry. He says this condition of affairs is due to the fact that the clouds, in being forced over the range by tho winds from the west, pass over the district Just east of the mountains at a height where the air is too light to cause precipitation without artlclclal assistance. Hatfield, who is a California, be came enthused In unraveling the mys tery of the clouds when a lad of 16. The drouths that southern California had been experiencing In those days started him to thinking, with the re sult that he took up the study of met eorology. It was not until April, 1902, a number of years after he had commenced his lnvetslgatlons, that Hatfield was ready for his initial test. This test was made In private at San Diego, and between the date of April, 1902, and February, 1904, he made 18 similar tests without arousing sus picions as to what he was doing. It was in February, 1904, during one of the severest drouths southern California had ever witnessed, that Hatfield came to the front and pub licly announced his ability to bring rain. He was Immediately branded as being mentally unbalanced and was for some time held as an object of ridicule. Nevertheless, there were a few business men willing to give him a trial. The people all over the south ern part of the state were holding prayer meetings and fasts that the drouth be broken. Conditions were terrible. Southern California's rainy months had practically passed with out the ground being as much as dampened. Hatfield offered to fi nance his operations at his own ex pense and was to be paid $1000 If he was successful in filling his con tract, which called for IS inches of rain between February 1 and May 1 The average rainfall In Los An geles since 1877, according to the records in the weather bureau of fice, had only been 8.75 Inches an nually. Hatfield began operations February 2, and by the fifth, rain fell Less his contract time by 30 days, 18 Inches of rain fell In Los Angeles and vicinity. This is Hatfield's second season In Sherman county. According to the records, .5 of an Inch has been Was co's greatest precipitation In 25 years for the month of May. Up to May 25 tf this year Hatfield says he has secured 1:23 inches. In giving this figure he claims to have counted for the ninth of the month, when the contract began. He gives out the fol lowing figures to show what he states are circumstances of his efforts: Wasco, 123; Hatfield Heights, 1.34; Grass Valley, 1.43, and Moro, the county seat, 1.S0. At The Dalles where the rainfall Is almost always heavier, .SO Inches was recorded as the total precipitation for the same period, ac cording to Hatfield. He claims also that the records of Umatilla, Baker City and Walla Walla show that at each place the rainfall from May 9 to May 25. His figures show Umatil la, .46 Baker City, .39, and Walla Walla, .30. In discussing his purported suc cess, Mr. Hatfield says: "Many people look at artlclclal rain-producing In the wrong light. I do not claim to be able to make rain. What I do profess to be able to accomplish Is the attraction of rain from" moisture-laden clouds. My system consists of chemical combina tions working In harmony with the very best law that makes rain In a natural sense. " "Nature furnishes ground.' Why does man fertilize the ground? Look at artificial treatment of the skies in the same light and you have the thing In a nutshell. Nature supplies rain conditions, but assistance is ne cessary In bringing about precipitation."

Charles Kvuns Hughes is probably loss of a politician than any other man in poll tics. Politicians say he 19 an accident, the. unnatural result of extraordinary circumstances. His ndmlrers say ho Is the prophet of n new era In the political world. Everyone who has been associated with him closely Is certain of one fact he Is a man of outstanding Individuality. As governor of New Tork he has given the state an administration that Is absolutely unique. It has not been wholly successful in the matter of ac complishment. He has worked alone, except for the aid of those who ral lied to his assistance of their own ac cord. He never asks the aid of any man. Old-timers at Albany, who admire the governor for his stand on all mor al questions and who believe in most of his doctrines of right living, say: "He Is a great governor. He has given the state an administration on a high plane. But Odell and Roose velt did more for the people after all. They made the politicians do what they wanted them to do. They laid down the law to the legislature and the legislature usually obeyed, it Is true that the preachers of the state did not agree with everything they did but they got results." Hughes considers the means fully as important as the end. His father was a Baptist preacher in Glens Falls, X. Y., and there Is something of the Baptist preacher and much of the Baptist layman In the governor to day. A leaflet scattered about the leg islature during the fight on the anti race track gambling bills, said of him: "Ho is a preacher among politic ians: a politician among preachers." He is the embody ment of system. He habitually looks before he leaps, anil usually carefully measures the space and carefully estimates his leaping capacity In advance. A .Man of Oonicnce. Much fun has been made of his conscience in comic papers and pub lic speeches. It is not myth, either. The thing about Hughes that worries the politicians most of all Is his placidity. He consults his conscience on every move and does what will satisfy It and then no matter what happens, he can say to himself: "I have done the right thing. If others fail I cannot be blamed for their failure. I have done my full duty." Hughes studied hard as a boy in school and has never stopped. He Is now 46 years old and In his mind are stored away the results of almost that many years study; for ln began to read almost as soon as lie began to talk. But there is another side to the man the side that usually is not seen by the public. He lias all the human emotions In a strong degree, but he his learned to control the mand ken them in the background. Xo man Is better company at a dinner and no man enters more enthusiastically Into the spirit of a Joke or an evening of pleasure, when the evening has been set aside for that purpose. At dinners such as the "Amen Cor nel annual anair in .New Y ork, or the dinner of the Legislative Curres pondents' association at Albany, both of which are patterned after the Grid- Iron dinners In Washington, he en Joys all the fun that.s poked at him and laughs loudest of all. He seems to revel in recreation of this sort, and the reason probably lies In the fact that he usually keeps his mind hard at serious work. I'niMipiiltir Wkh Politicians. The very fact that he Is unpopular with the politicians wlv have ruled Xew York so loug has given Hughes much support a support of a kind uiai surprised everynody. It came from men who usually are not heard from in public matters. No man doubts his sincerity. Xu one has chargi d him with Inordinate ambition. Many believe that he Is the most popular man In the state and assert freely that few men ever were as popular fclth the people nt large. But. they usually add, he does not take advantage of his opportunity. The late John Vandercook, presi dent of the United Press, In an arti cle on Hughes, said: "Some think Hughes at heart a Wall street lawyer some say that he W a moral prig. The bulk of his really earnest popular support comes from the up-state 'hayseed districts.' Were he ever made president, he probably would pursue the course he has as governor, that Is, he would never take up a thing until he under stood it thoroughly, and then push It through with calm Insistent patience, falling back always on the same 'It's right' argument when anybody want ed to change his mind." Hughes first sprang Into pjbllc notice as counsel for the legislative committee In the gas Investigation In Xew York city In 1905. Then quick ly folowed the life Insurance Investi gation In which he won national fame and which brought him the nomina tion for governor. Before these events he had been a, deep-thinking, hard working lawyer known more to law yers than to laymen. Other attorneys sought his advice on tangled points. He had lectured on law In Cornell unl verslty and was looked upon some what as a professor In practice until he suddenly loomed up as a man of action. One phase of Hugnes' character Is Illustrated by his action on the Hearst bill providing for a recount of the ballots 'cast In the McCIellan-Hearst mayorality election in New York, which Hearst claims he won, but was counted out. Hearst had been Hughes' opponent in the race for for. ernor and had attacked him In many ways, constantly referring to him as an "animated feather duster." Yot Hughes recommended tho passage of the bill. When he was counselled not to sign it, he replied decisively, "It Is a simple act of Justice" and thereupon affixed his signature to the bill, mak ing It a law. HOT ELECTION' IV GUVXT.

' Nothing was heard from tho elec tion In Long Creek until about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, when It was found that the precinct hnd gone dry by a vote of 63 to 38. Another move that created more excitement than expected. was tho race of Charles A. Coe and S. P. Fan ning for Justice of the peace for dis trict Xo. 7. This Includes Fox as well as Long Creek. Mr. Fanning carried Long Creek by a vote, of one and Mr. Coo carried Fox by a voto of two, making it a very close race for the office.
