Hermann look upon bis coming trial , with the gravest apprehensions, j Hermann's victory in Washington was a signal one, aud was regarded by bis friends as the nucleus of an ulti mate vindication of all the charges against him. However, it is apparent that Mr. Heuey regarded the letter case against Hermann as the weakest of the cases against bim, and nianag- ed to get out of prosecuting it. But he is to retutn to Portland to try the land fraud cases in July, which would lead one to believe that he hopes for a conviction ou this charge. - 1U TuU Presidential boon isbaiug a bard struggle witb the Third term movement. Of all the candidates in the Republican ranks, Mr. Taft is the most universally talked of, though Mr. Hughes is a very strong man in New York, as is Cannon in Illinois, Knox in Pennsylvania and Vice-President Fairbanks iu Indiana. Mr. Fair banks' candidacy is regarded by those in close touch with Roosevelt policies as being far remote. Mr. Hughes is tho man most likely to cairy out the Roosevelt policies, and the least known to the mass of people.

Las Angeles Votes Bond. Edito Examiner : Los Angeles is noted at being a town where people do thbgs,' but yesterday the city capped tby climax by voting favorably tho btudiog of the city for twenty three million dollars, for the purpose of b-im.'i'ig water from the. Owens River country, over- desert and niouufilus aud through valleys, a dis tanceAif over two hundred aud forty mile Tho estimated cost of tho uu- dertkiiit!, when completod, wheu tho resvoirs ana power plan's are all but, .is thirty million dollars, or! inro. They expect to get a steady (lv of tweuty thousand miner's iches of water, aud develop eighty lousaud horse power at the ditfereut alls aloug the route. This power nlouc, is estimated us beiug worth to tuo city over one minion dollars per auuum. - Tho major purt of the construction will bo cement conduit, for carrying the waters, pipe only beiug used whore it is abeolutely uecessary to either to siphon tho water, or for power purposes. Los Augeles claims a populutlou of about 280,000. Tho growth the pust year is estimated at 450,000, and a water famine began to stare them iu the fuco if the present growth was go- ing to continue. The vote was a re markable one, being ten in favor to one against the bonding proposition. There are more boosters and less knockers herein Southern California, than any place I know of, which accounts, to a great extent, for the great growth of this, part of the state. Oo into any town in Southern Cali fornia, and the people of each and every town, or locality, will tell you that they are located in the moat favor ed spot in all the world. Pulling to; gether, generally speaking, each and every localtiy for itself, all tends to make a favorable impression upon the prospective settler. Los Aogelcs bas labor anions by the score, but the business men have de clared for, and maintain the open shop, bence work of all kinds, busi ness of all kinds, goes right along as It should. Frequently business men bave been seut here in a body to study Los Angeles business methods of "doing things," froi-j Seattle, Portland Marysville, Sacramento, Stockton and San Francisco, going away satisfied that Los Angeles is one of the most progressive cities in America.

"Rainmaker" Hatfield baa taken a contract to cause 6 inches of rain to fall in Sherman county beween the 28th day of May and the 25th day of July. During this period for the past seven years the maxrnum rainfall baa been less than one inch. Mr. Hatfield's aparatus for causing rain consists of a tower 25 feet , bigh. About Are feet from tho top are tem porary floors surrounded by canvas walls, which reach to the top of the tower, the top being entirely exposed. Witbin these walla are his instruments consisting partly of electrical contriv ance and 225 trays containing chemi cals. The former are in constant mo tion, throwing out vibrations into the atmosphere. These vibrations attract the clouda from a distance of three bnndred miles. When condensed they precipitate rain. The area over which the storm continues and its duration depend upon their prevailing direct on. After active operations are be gun it is usually from 24 to 48 boars, and never jmore than five days, before rain falls. " Mr. Hatfield's former experiments in California and Alaska bave been suc cessful and b baa the utmost confi dence in bis scheme. Shorly afier be began bis operations in Sherman county rain began falling over the country within a radios of 75 miles, and Mr. Hatfield claims the' credit for these rains. There are skeptics who will not give bim the credit, but be went there un der contract to make it rain, and it bas rained and keeps it up, the crops are looking flue, never better, and be says be now has the situation well un der band and promises to furnish occasional showers until the crops are ready for harvest. The farmers are sll jubilant over the prospects and are well pleased with the results of Hatfields experi ments. They are having just the kind of weather tbey have been pray ing for, and are willing for the honor to go where it may, so they get the results. State Line Ball Game.
