Western kansas-Too Cold for Experiments

GOoDLAND. Kan, Oct. 9.-Frank Mel
bourne, the Australian rain-maker, has
closed his experimenting at this place. To
the committee of citizens who had him un-
der contract he explained that the cold
nights counteracted all the work he did
during the day and that il was useless for
him to experiment further. Since his sx-
perimenting began northwestern Kansas
has received more rain than ever fell before
during the fall season In this section of the
State. Whether not the my ysterious ma
chine has brought the rains the people of
this section of the country have every con-
iidence in him. Yesterday n mass meeting
OF citizens was held and Melbourne was
asked to submit proposition for waterin &
the forty counties in western Kansas. His
proposition was to water them at 10 cents
for each cultivated acre. There were this
year two million acres under cultivation III
the counties which IL is proposed to water
next spring. To raise this amount the
tax. The opinions of leading attorneys In
the State were read showing that this could
be done un der the irrigating law passed
last winter. If Melbourne does not produce
the rain he will receive nothing. A con-
vention of the counties interested will be
called, at which the proposition will be
submitted.
