A CALIFORNIA CRITIC.
A California Saphead Tries to Score
the Artificial Ram Industry.


We clip and publish the following
article by E. R. Kerkham, chief Of the
weather bureau at San Francisco, from
the Examiner, on the rainmakcrs at
Pixley, Cal.
concerning the work of the rain
makers at Pixley and the question of
artificial rainmaking in general, it is
my opinion that the experiments have
proved utter failures.
"Since January %, 1892, the
weather conditions have been unset
tied throughout southern California,
and during the past week storm cen
ter of varying intensity has covered
the lower portion of the state. The
rainmakers' success in this instance
is therefore decidely questionable,
since rains have been more or less
general since January 25, in southern
as we'll as northern California, Nevada,
Arizona and as far east as Utah, the
weather bureau records being as fol-
lows: San Diego, 0 days on which
rain fell; Los Angeles, u days; Frenso,
O.; Keeler. Z; Barstow, o; Needles. II;
Yuma, 8; Sacramento. 9; Carson City,
8. Shows and rains have been gen
eral in western Nevada almost daily
since January 81.
"Are those rains attributiye to the
! 'rainmakers.' OF nd they hold the low

WOULD BE A BLESSING.

Consider what this San Joaquin
valley alone would be il we could get
rain here in the spring of the year in
sufficient quantities. said Borders.
wi y, it would reyolutionize our prin-
cipal industry--that Of grain raising,
No other state, or in fact, no quarter
of the globe could equal this valley in
its production. 1t would be verita.
BILE Garden of Eden. We have trans
portation in this country equal to any
part of the state, and if we have rain
this spring the Southern Pacific COM
pany will have to bestir themselves to
carry away our production
"The rainfall for the last three rains
is as follows; Pixley-.32, .19, AS;
total. LOS. Tulare-.O3, .03, .35; total,
Al.
"Pixley is acknowledged to be the
driest town in the San Joaquin valley,
but since the rainmakers have takel
up their quarters here Pixley has shown
a greater fall than any other town in
the valley. The above figures are
beyond doubt correct, tallying with
those Of several gentlemen not inter
ested in the matter"

dications of rain than were seen two
nights towards shutdown.
BETTING ON RAIN.

Yes replied Murphy, and I'll
bet they have rain over there, point
ing in the direction of Sunhower
valley, and true enough. sheepman
from that neighbOrhood came into
town today and reported that they had
quite a rain, and getting to know that
rainmakers were operating in the vi
entity, begged of Borders and Under
to send them over to the valley an d
only name their figure, as stock were
dying for want of pasture.
"R. Under is thirty-seven years of
age, native of Germany and has been
twenty years in California. He has
been over six years in business in
Tulare and is one of Tulare's leading
citizens, director of the rulare bank
and proprietor of one Of the largest
hardware and agriculture business
houses in the county. He stated that
he had never seen such commotion
in the heavens as he had witnessed
since the rainmakers began operations.
ANY one could see, said Linder,
that the formation aud appearance of
these clouds were not natural, and the
men that can produce such changes in
atmosphere covering an area of miles
are very liable, l am sure, to make
rain

no one see the inside of their crude
laboratory, for while inside the door is
bolted and on the outside can be seen
Yale paddock.
"After partaking of a sumptuous
lunch at Mrs. Merchants ranch, your
correspondent joined Borders and
Under on the return trip. Pixley is
nearly seventeen miles from Tulare,
and on either side of the entire road
as far as the eye can reach, are thou
sands OF acres of virgin land. Year in
and year out have the farmers
labored, blowing and seeding, to raise
crop of grain. but time and again
they have had to buy the ensuing
years seed, continuing this losing
process in the hope of having sufliCient
rain at some time to give them sur.
plus crop.
