GOOD TIME TO FIX UP.

Now that the annexation question
has been settled, at least for some
time to come. perhaps the county COM
missioners and city council will pro-
coed to carry out plans originally for
mulated to repair the damage done by
the floods last year and protect the
southern part of the city from a rep-
tition of the danger that confronted
property in that district
While some temporary work has
been done at the mouth of Garrison
creek and the Yellow Hawk, the re-
pairs are reported entirely Inadequate

cessation. The commissioners, it is
reported, did not feel like spending
county money on repairing bridges
etc, in territory likely to become a
part of the city and the council held
back waiting to see what the supGr-
ban districts were going t. do about
coming into the corporate limits. Nov
that these questions have been settled
it is up to the commissioners and
council to proceed with the work If
necessary, assessment districts should
be formed and property owners COM
PEELED to stand at least a part of the
expenses. While this could proba bly
not be done in the case of property
outside of the city limits. many proper
ty owners along Garrison creek have
signified their willingness to bear q
part of the expense.

.RA|NMAKER IS At WORK
Prof. Hatfield Begins Experiments
In WasCo County

WASCO, Ore, June 4.-Hatfiell, the
arrived in Sherman county May 20 and
Immediately proceeded to find a, high
elevation. He selected a point on Cor
don ridge and erected two towers %
feet high. These are built of common
lumber, the corner pieces being by
timbers. braced with by stuff. About
five feet from the top of the tow
ers are temporary floors surrounded
with canvas walls, which reach to the
top The tops are entirely exposed.
Within those Enclosures are concealed
Hatfield's modus operandi. His appar-
atus partially consists of electrical
contrivances and 225 trays containing
chemicals. The former are in constant
motion. throwing out vibrations into
the atmosphere. These vibrations at
tract the clouds from distance OF 200
miles. When condensed these precipi-
tate rain The area over which the
storm continues and it's duration de-
pend upon the air currents and their
prevailing direction. After active OPP
erations are begun it is usually from "a
days, before rain falls.
Hatfield is very pleasant and in
teresting young man, and although no
visitors are admitted to his towers or
allowed to pry into the secrets of his
wonderful discovery, he very graciously
receives them and is very willing to
explain and give information. He has
devoted nine years to the study and
development of his present methods
His first experiment. was conducted at
st. Helena, California. and was sue
cessful, as were AZ others following, he
claims.
The work Of the young scientist is
attracting worldwide attention. Last
year he was sent for by the Alaska
miners. there being a scarcity of water
for sluicing. He came to Sherman
county under contract guaranteeing to
produce six inches of rain between
May % and July 25. For seven years
past statistics show that the maxi
mum rainfall during this period has
been less than one inch.
All Sherman county is watching the
experiment, as a copiOus rainfall VIII
assure abundant crops and double the
price of land.

WOMAN BRAVES DANGERS
OF DEATH VALLEY

LOS ANGELES, June 4.-With her
alkali and almost reduced to WRECK
by suffering through lack of food and
water. the most courageous woman
prospector developed by the present
mining excitement today reached San
Bernardino. She is Mrs. Helen Q.
Ouigley and comes from Utah. Nearly
three months ago she left Bullfrog and
has since been seeking treasure where
few men have dared to go, making p
hazardous trip from the head of Death
Valley.
For six weeks she saw no living pow
son, only the evidence of former pros
pectors who had braved the desolate
skeletons. For two days she urged
her horse and pack mule through bis
tering heat and had but half a canteen
to drink and little to eat. One day she
srent in Lone Cave. fearful to go on
while the sun beat down. In Funeral
range she was stricken with fever'
found by miners in the nick of time
and nursed through weeks of delirium.
Mrs. Quigley prospected thoroughly
and located a ledge which she believe
will make her fortune, bringing with
her rich samples. She will at once re-
the return trip. Some of her ores show
fabulous values and she believes the
free ledge will go $3.50 ton.

ADJUSTMENTS
FLoTo CIRCUS MAKES A HIT.
Record Breaking Crowds In Attend
ance Yesterday.

Red lemonade, pop corn and all the
ammompaniments and incidentals of
circus day were in evidence yesterday
when the Sells Floto circus showed
here The barker, the spieler and the
ballyhoo man were there, just as they
are every circus day.
For a good, clean and wholesome
show the Circus Beautiful" is as good
as the best and better than many.
When one takes into consideration
the fact that the Sells-Floto show is
a comparatively new One-imbued with
all the spirit of western push and grit
for it is owned and backed by west
ern men-one fills with admiration for
the achievements brought together I'M
der one management as manifested in
Yesterdays performances.
Every act, from the aerial and eques-
trian performances to the antics of the
clowns was a finished act.
The crowds of yesterday afternoon
and last night were but a repetition of
the shows daily record all along the
route Success has followed in its
wake and it is success richly deserved.
Such a beautiful aggregation of
horses has never before been seen in
Walla Walla. The whole menagerie,
in fact was a source of wonder and
delight to the little folks and an edu-
cation to the grown ups.
There were no bitches in the per-
Torrance. Everything went like clock
work, the handspring of which mech
anism was one man-Frank Tammen.
This man a few short years ago was a
poor struggling wage Garner in Den
yer. George Bonfils, the Colorado
millionaire, and Otto Floto of the
Denver Post, recognized the mans
wonderful powers and great executive
ability and today he occupies the place
his vast talents made for him.
The dispatch with which the entire
circus was packed up and reloaded
on the cars, is in itself wonderful
thing. Before the crowds which va =
messed the evenings performance had
dispersed the grounds on which the
circus was held were bare of any YES
tige of circus apparatus, and the big
train of 80 cars was on it's way to Day.
ton where two performances will be
given today.

WASTE OF WATER.

Judge Chadwick, of Whitman coun-
ty, decided an irrigation case the other
day In which he refused to apply the
doctrine of prior appropriation. but
held that the plaintiff was entitled to
only so much of the water as was ne
cessary to irrigate his seventeen acres.
The plaintiff claimed the right to use
ali the water because he had appro-
priated it first. 1t was shown that the
flow on the land was fifteen gallons
a minute, while the flow at the intake
was fifty-siX gallons a minute. The diff
ference had been lost Judge Chadwick
held the law will not tolerate waste or
extravaganza, but will measure the
rights of the parties by the strict ne
cessities of the case The water
flowed in a canyon leading to Snake
river. The judge refused to enjoin the
defendant.
The doctrine of prior appropria ton
came up in the United States supreme
court not long ago in case in which
Kansas sought to enjoin Colorado from

favored al the recent convention of the
Washington branch of the United Ma

STOMACH ACHE BEATS LAW
Kansas Imbibers Find Way to
Secure Liquor

TOPEKA, Kan, June 4.-The citi-
zenS Of Kansas are certainly in a Sc
rious way The records of the Kansas
drug stores show an alarming condi-
ton Thousands of KanSanS who have
a gnawing thirst for spirituous liquors
by their affidavits prove beyond ques-
ton that an epidemic of insomnia and
indigestion prevails throughout the
state.
This is all due to the fact that aa-
looms have been closed and brewers
and wholesale liquor dealers, driven
from the state. But the Kansas
drug store is here in all its glory. On
a par with it's profits from the sale bf
red liquor is the income from the sale
Of hip pocket TASKS turned out by
the nine glass factories in Kansas.
The record of all those who pass
sleepless nights and who eschew pie,
cake, pigs feet, tripe, wienerwurst
cream puffs, doughnuts hot biscuit and
hot bread is on file with the probate
court This list is public, but strange
to say, patent indigestion remedy ven-
ders and sleep potion manufacturers
give little or no attention to 1t. because
each person whose name is there has
his own particular medicine.
1t is the same in all cases-beer or
whisky. No liquor may be sold at a
drug store unless the purchaser signs
a certificate that the beverage is for
medicinal purposes and he must desig-
nate the ailment with which he is af-
ficted. These certificates are filed
monthly. This rule applies to beer as
we'll as whisky.
