WILL MAKE RAIN
IN KLOND|KE
COUNTRY
Professional Rainmaker En-
gagged for $4,000 to Supply
Plenty of Moisture.

Associated Press 10 The Evening Times.
Los Angeles, Cal, March 31.-Chas.
M. Hatfield, the famous rainmaker of
this city, has been engaged by con-
tract with the Yukon territorial gov
eminent to make srain in the Klondike
during all the coming mining season.
According to the contract Hatfield
must be on the ground by May l with
an assistant and the rainmaking an.
paratus.
Last summer the Klondike hydrau.
lie plants suffered the loss of thou
sands of dollars that they would hav.:
harvested had there been big rains.
The rainmaking plan was suggested
and fostered by j. r. Lithgow,, terri
torial comptroller, who had come IN
touch with Hatfeld's work while here
on visit.
BY the terms of the contract Hat
field is to receive $4,000 provided he
makes rain to the satisfaction of a
board of seven men, three of whom
shall be chosen by the governor of
the Yukon, three bvs1Iatfeld and one
by the first six. Should Hatfield fail
to produce rain to the satisfaction OF
the board, or the majority of the
board, he will receive only his cost of
transportation to and from the Klon-
dixie and maintenance for himself and
assistant. OF the $4,000 half is to
be paid by ten of the largest mining
operators in the Yukon. The other
half is to be paid by the Yukon gov
eminent.
Hatfield agrees to produce rain to
the satisfaction of the board. No
stipulated quantity of rain by inches
is required, but it is specifically stated
in the contract that he shall increase
the rainfall and renew it from time
to time for four months, as may be
named by the board, and sufficient to
insure, so far as ample rain will,
successful and prosperous summer
for placer mining industry of the Daw-
son district" Five days will be al
lowed after each seance for the rain
to come

DECISION IN THREE WEEKS
Judge Sanborn has Taken the Globe
Injunction Suit Under Consideration.

Judge L. X. Luse and Senator Geo.
B. Hudnall of the counsel for the Wis
consin grain and warehouse commits
sion arrived in Superior yesterday
from Madison where they attended the
test grain suit. Some of the local fat-
torneys who represented the Globe Ee-
vator company and its allied interests
have also returned.
The suit was known as the case of
the Globe Elevator company VS.. the
Wisconsin grain and warehouse COM
mission. The Great Northern was al
so a party to the case, having filed a
cross suit. Both plaintiffs asked to
spectihg or weighing grain belonging
to them or from opening or interfering
with cars containing their grain.
The arguments commenced Monday
morning and continued for two days.
There were four attorneys for the ele-
vator interests and two for the COM
mission The elevator attorneys COM
menced their arguments Monday morn
ing and continued for IA hours, clos
ing at noon Tuesday. Attorney Ralph
Whelan of Minneapolis was the first
to present arguments for the plaintiff
and made the longest talk. He was
followed by Charles Crowhart, Scion
L. Perrin and J. A. Murphy of this
city.
The defense was represented by At
torneys Hudnall and Luse of this city.
Their arguments before the court con-
sumed but hours of the courts time
The arguments were largely in regard
to the constitutionality of the law and
questions as to the power of the legis-
lature to enact the law or as 10 wheth-
er or not it was a proper exercise of
the police power of the state
Judge Sanborn took the case under
consideration at the close of the argu-
ments and will probably file decision
on the case in two or three weeks.

Winnipeg, March 31.-The street
railway strike is on in all it's rigor.
Practically every man of the police
force was out yesterday. When the
hour of starting came there was not
man ready for duty. During the
morning couple of cars were started
but their progress was not meteoric.
An unfortunate feature of the strike
lies in the fact that the unemployed
element Of the city is taking a hand
and already several hostile demon

streets are crowded with unemployed

A CINDERELLA PARTY.

One of the most elaborate and beautiful affairs of this season was given on Tues day afternoon, when Mrs. Charles Burriss and Mrs Leila Martin of Woodlawn en- tertained the members of the Social club of Woodlawn at a party which carriedout in detail the old fairy tale of Cinderella, the game played was Bunco tally, and was kept in hand painted score cards, which were in the shape of slippers, the cards were the exquisite work of Mrs M E. Mans of Woodlawn, as the success ful player progressed, unique favors were attached to the score cards, some of them being small slippers, scorpions and white mice The final favor was the fairy Good Mothers Wand" about six inches long, made of green satin ribbon and with d cluster of bells at the top.
 The tables were numbered by faces of clocks with the hands pointing to the number of the table. The dining room was a scene of great splender. In the center of the table was a large gilded slipper, surrounded by a bed of chrys- anthemums and maiden hair ferns from the chandelier to the ends of the table were streamers of white toole. A two course luncheon was served the guests. The ices were frozen in the shape of slip pers and the cake was iced so as to convey the idea of a clock with the hands point 1 ing to the hour of twelve. All of the souvenirs of the dining room were beau tiful and appropriate for a Cinderella party. The prizes were both attractive 1 and handsome. The game prize was ] awarded to Mrs. E. l.. Higdon and was l a dozen silver salad forks; the consolation l prize, a gardinierre and pedestal with a hourishing rubber plant, was drawn by Mrs George Hopson. The guests prize, a half dozen orange spoons, was won by Mrs. Cooper Hodges. It is the privilege of l the club members to select their own form of amusement and this charming affair was due to the originality of the | two hosts.

AUTAUGA.

Prattville, November 7.-(SpeciaI.)-The election here yesterday passed off as quietly as one could have done. Nothing but the best of humor prevailed all day at the polls, and while it was in some respects as spirited election as has been held in this county in many years. There had been a sensation sprung on the dem ocrats late Saturday evening to the effect that there were plans by which, when executed there was to have been held no election at three or four of the best dem ocratic beats in the county. It was whisp- cred around that the man who undertook to deliver the ballot boxes for those pre- cincts had agreed or had offered to de- stroy the boxes and supplies so that no election could be held in those precincts. However, it appears it was false alarm, as some of the boxes in question have already reported with satisfactory demo- cratic majorities. H. s. Doster, candidate for the state senate from the Fifteenth senatorial district composed of Autauga, Chiffon and Shelby counties, has said he would give one thousand dollars for a conviction of election frauds in this coun- ty and it is not known yet whether there was any real intention of selling the bal lot boxes and supplies or not.
 There was no contest on here except in the office of senator from the Fifteenth district, for which H. $. Doster and w. W. Wadsworth were opposing candidates. Indications from the returns from this and Chiffon counties give Doster an un- doubted majority of some five hundred. The vote in the district is a very heavy one, and the returns are slow in coming in. There, is very little doubt at this time but that Doster wins by a handsome majority
