Hermann's victory in Washington
was a signal one, aud was regarded by
bis friends as the nucleus of an ulti

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

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.

i
His Former Experiments
Prove Successful.
FARMERS JUBILANT OYER RESULT
Mas Caused Moisture Enough to
Insure Good Crops in
Sherman County.
"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.
