ing it's adaptability to that product; or
Artemisia county, in memory of tie

The TRIBUNE has favored Emmett all

better than Boise valley. Payette has
the advantage of Emmett by being on

good. Payette is THE TR1BUNE's Sec

Uncle Sam Brings Down the Gentle
Showers In Texas.
RAIN MADE TO ORDER.
An Account Of the Government Exper.
inents. Senator Farwell's Views on
the Subject.


Gen. r. G. Dyrenforth, who has
charge of the rain-making expert
ments of the government on the
Nelson Morris ranch in Western
Texas, is enthusiastic over the
apparent success, performed, as
they were, in one of the most arid
sections of the country and under
circum stances as unfavorable az
they could possibly be. While in
this city en- route to Washington
he said to a World reporter:
II am what you might call jubi.
liant over the great results which
have attended our three weeks
stay on the c. ranch near Midland
Not only did we produce rain in
in abundance, but did so under
difficulties which were sometimes
very discouraging and exasperating.
Being removed, as we were, so far
from what might be called civiliza-
ton, the experiments were neces-
sarily carried on in a comparatively
crude manner, there being no suit
able plan on which to carry on the
work. The ranch is far removed,
you know, from any place where
suitable supplies could be had.
Our work has been seriously ham
pered by the strong winds which
have an unimpeded sweep on the
plains in that part of Texas, and
which are constantly present. Sew
eral times our balloons have broken
from their fastenings, and in some
instances the cords of the MEETINGS
have parted.
eve were compelled to erect
coverings for our balloons and for
our mammoth oxygen furnace.
After this no serious obstacles were
encountered.
During the three weeks there
were over half a dozen rain storms.
Three of these were what are called
grass rains in that section. The
first rain was of this kind. The
others were good rains, but I speak
OF the grass rains especially, as
they were soaking rains. The last
experiment l consider the most
successfuland satisfactory, not only
because the explosion was the
heaviest of the six. but because it
produced rain while the barometer
was rising.
"The circumstances were very

The sky was as clear as a whistle

cowboys and the natives of the
'lain predicted an utter failure and

Tould be verified, but We were

a that section for three years was

waves produced by the explosion
of gases in the the upper air starts
this mingling of the currents, and
a storm centre is formed.
The second theory is that concus-
sions of the air from a series OF
explosions jars together the parti-
cles Of moisture which float sus-
pended in the atmosphere.
The third theory is that the
great amount of frictional cleo
tricity generated by the concus-
sions produces polarized condi-
ton of the earth and sky in the
region of the explosions and so
creates a magnetic field, which
tends to draw together or collect
the particles of moisture in the air.
EX-SENATOR FAREwELL's VIEWS.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-"I just came
up from there" said Texan whom
the Worlds correspondent found
in ex-senator Farewell's office this
morning. Everybody considers
it a complete success. The people
are enthusiastic about it. l want
to say to Senator Farewell that he
has made millions of dollars for the
west"
II think the experiments have
now demonstrated the soundness of
my theory" said Senator Farewell
to the Worlds correspondent.
"For twenty years have had no
doubt that rain could be produced
in that way, and quite expected the
experiments to be successful"
'What are your plans respecting
the practical application of the
invention"
I" think they could be stated in
this way: The secretary of Agricul-
ture, you know, gets annually
appropriations for the general pur-
pose of advancing agriculture
that is, he gets money for eradicat-
ing diseases among cattle and for
inspecting hogs, and for this or
that similar thing. Well, when
Prof. Dyrenforth makes his official
report of these experiments, ex-
pect that Mr.. Rusk will ask for
81, 100000, may be, or 100000 any
way, for rain-making.
"The department of agriculture
has its inspectors and employees in
the west, and when an inspector
reports that rain will be needed at
certain time in certain region,
the secretary will send on his men
and appliances and make the rain.
That's my idea of how it will be
practically applied. Of course l
seek no control of any sort over the
invention. II any state or other
community wants to make rain on
is own hook, there could be no
objections to its doing so.
1.-THE idea is old enough. have
'een convinced of its practicability
or twenty years, and probably
'ther people have. 'sjust a ques-
ion Of applying what you know.
everybody knows there's a certain
mount of moisture in the air all
he time. The people see their
orn burn up and their cattle die
or lack of moisture. They know
he required moisture is passing
light over their heads all the time
going off, may be, to rain itself
own somewhere they're already
rowned out.

accompanied by no disturbance of
the elements, but, on the contrary,
has been on all occasions steady,
gentle rain, allowing every drop to
sink into the ground and none to
run off. Another impression seems
to be that the rain begins to fall
Immediately in the vicinity where
the experiment is made. This
seems reasonable, but the contrary
is the case, and the immediate
locality is the last place to be Wis
tied by the rain. The rainfall is
rather cyclonic in it's nature. Com.
mencing on the outer edges it
works toward the locality where
the experiment is going on, making
that point sort of storm centre.
have never seen this popularity
before mentioned in any newspaper,
and 1 think your paper will be the
first to set it forth. I never noticed
it myself until recently"
"Over how great an area was the
rain general and what is the cost of
the rainfall?"
ooh, of course I could not be
positive about that, but I should
think an estimate of about 1000
square miles would be fair one,
and as to the cost that is only
nominal. The chemicals are cheap
when used in the quantities in
which we used them. A rough
estimate would be about $25 for the
balloons. Of course the cost of
the balloon depends on the size.
The price of some might be $50,
but what is this expense when you
consider the incalculable good to
the country? The last rainfall
was produced by seven balloons
and some other explosives. Figure
the cost and it's mere bagatelle
and not to be spoken Of"
Gen. Dyrenforth said he would
soon return to Ell Paso, where ex-
periments of the same nature as
those made at the Morris ranch
will be pursued. "A number of
officials of the Mexican government
who are very interested in our
work." he said, twill come up from
the city of Mexico and watch the
result of the experiments with a |
view of instituting like expert
mental move on the part of the
Mexican government"
When asked if he would give it
as his opinion that the rainfalls in
Midland county have been wholly
due to his experiments the general
said: II would unhesitatingly say
that l think the theory on which
these experiments have been based
is good one, and that the rain pro.
duced has been the direct result of
its application"
