this fair valley q chance at his rain

promptly start north for the San
JOAQUIN, where he expects to install
a plant and proceed with his rain
making apparatus during the winter.
Hatfield received the offer from the
upper valley before he left for Alaska
lats spring. His Success in the north
has been fair, according to reports,
and he will now invade the dry re-
gions of the San joaquin, looking for
more rain and more laurels.
Hatfield first became known to the
Los Angeles public about three years
ago when he proposed to produce
eighteen inches of water during the
rainy season. He was not taken SER
iously until a year later when, under
contract of $1,000, he turned loose his
chemicals upon the upper air, and the
skies, in an attempt to get rid of the
odor kept pouring down heavy show
ers for the remainder of the season.
Since Hatfield has been travelling
about the country he has affiliated
himself with Jupiter Pluvius until the
two are as one and old Jupiter sits
back and takes things easy when the
able Hatfield puts in an appearance.
1t has been alleged that Hatfield
must go through weird orgies, such
as riding a broom stick and singing
incantations to cause the heavy down.

ducing of rain and in a short time
the fumes arise to the skies and at

so that a precipitation follows.

These employees have been directed to

Accordingly between $50 and 200 men
are now devoting all of their time to
tracing freight cars belonging to the

1t was reported that the Northern
Pacific has at least 10000 cars which
it is unable to move, so great has the

Other roads in the northwest also
are in bad shape, one of the main rea-
