HOT ELECTION IN GRANT.
Long Creek Ranger Tells of Prohibl-
bitlon Contest.

The Long Creek Ranger says of the
contest over prohibition in Grant
county:
There Is no mistake but that Mon
day proved to be the warmest day in
Long Creek for years past. 1t was
nothing uncommon to see both advo-
Gates for and against prohibition
walking up and down the street and
occasionally these parties would
come together and when a warm ar
gument was the result
II was believed for a while that a
police WOULD have to be called to
quiet the people, but by evening all
had quieted down, each side believing
they had won the day.
Nothing was heard from the elec-
tion in Long Creek until about 1
O'Clock Tuesday morning, when it
was found that the precinct had gone
dry by a vote of SO to 3S.
Another move that created more
excitement than expected. was the
race of Charles a. Coe and S. p. Fan
ming for justice Of the peace for dis
trict No. Z. This includes Fox as well
as Long Creek. Mr.. Tanning carried
Long Creek by n vote, of one and Mr..
Coe carried Fox by a vote Of two,
making 1t a very close race for the
office.

Countermanded.

A very devout clergyman had Just
married n couple and, as was his Gus
tom, offered a fervent prayer, invoking
the divine blessing upon them. AS
they seemed to be worthy folk and not
overburdened with this worlds goods,
he prayed, among other things, for
their material prosperity and besought
the Lord to greatly Increase the mans
business, laying much stress on this
point
In filling out the blanks It became
necessary to ask the man his business,
and, to the minister's horror, he said

HATF|ELD'S RAIN MAKING SCHEMES

one of the severest drouths southern
California had ever witnessed, that
Hatfield came to the front and pub
! llcly announced his ability to bring
rain. He was Immediately branded
as being mentally unbalanced and
was for some time held as an object
Of ridicule.
Nevertheless there were few
business men willing to give him a
trial. The people all over the south
ern part of the state were holding
prayer meetings and fasts that the
drouth be broken. Conditions were
terrible. Southern Californias rainy
months had practically passed with.
out the ground being as much as
dampened. Hatfield offered to fl
nance his operations at his own ex-
pense and was to be paid $1,000 If
he was successful in filling his con.
tract, which called for IS inches Of
rain between February l and May /.
The average rainfall in Los An
geles since 1877, according to the
records in the weather bureau Of
flee, had only been SIS inches an
nually. Hatfield began operations
February 2, and by the fifth, rain fell.
Less his contract time by 80 days, IS
inches of rain fell in Los Angeles and
vicinity.
This is Hatfield's second season in
Sherman county According to the
records, IS Of an inch has been Was
co.'s greatest precipitation in 25
years for the month of May. Up to
May 25 of this year Hatfield says he
has secured 1928 inches. In giving
this figure he claims to have counted
for the ninth of the month, when the
contract began. He gives out the fol-
lowing figures to show what he states
are circumstances of his efforts:
Wasco, 1.23; Hatfield Heights, 1874;
Grass Valley, 1.43, and Moro, the
county seat, 1.80. At The Dalles where
the rainfall is almost always heavier,
80 inches was recorded as the total
precipitation for the same period, ac-
cOrding to Hatfield. He claims also
that the records of Umatilla, Baker
City and Walla Walla show that at
each place the rainfall from May 9
to May 25. His figures show Umatil-
la, .46 Baker City, SO, and Walla
Walla, 80.
In discussing his purported sue
cess, Mr.. Hatfield says:
MANY people look at ARTIFICIAL
rain-producing in the wrong light.
I do not claim to be able to make
rain. What l do profess to be able
to accomplish is the attraction of rain
from moisture-laden clouds. My
system consists of chemical comblna-
tlons working in harmony with the
very best law that makes rain In a
natural sense.
Mature furnishes ground. Why
does man fertillze the ground? Look
at artificial treatment Of the skies in
the same light and you have the
thing in a nutshell. Nature supplies
rain conditions, but assistance is ne
cessary in bringing about precipita-
ton"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-09

In the mountains of Sherman coun-
ty. not far from Wasco and secluded
from the turmoil of civilization,
Charles N. Hatfield, better known as
1.-THE Rain Maker" is busily engaged
in the unique art of manufacturing
moisture, says the Sunday Oregonian.
The conditions of nature which
have made Portland one of the wet
test cities in the West has made Was
co and its Sherman county environs
one Of the driest. Considering the
fact that the two cities are only 80
miles apart, these conditions appeal
TO the layman as being remarkable.
To Hatfield however, there is moth
ing strange in the fact that these two
extremes are represented within
district of less than 100 miles radius
The student of meteorOlogy declares
that taking the location of the two
cities into consideration, the condi-
tions could not possibly be different.
Hatfield does not claim to be pos
sessed of any supernatural powers
and lays the credit for his results to
advanced science. He explains in
full the method by which he purports
10 draw rain from the clouds. The
"rainmaker" employs chemicals and
electricity in his work and his ex-
planation in regard to the results he
claims to achieve are considered by
many to be more than plausible.
Hatfield, in filling his contracts, To-
Gates himself in the mountains at the
highest altitude in the neighborhood
of the district he has been engaged
to secure rain for. He then erects a
derrick in the immediate vicinity of
an artificial water supply. This wa
ter Is evaporated by a chemical pro-
cess and treated with electricity, af-
ter which il is liberated After lib
Grafton, according to Hatfield, the /
eyaporated water comes in contact
with rain-laden clouds as they are
being fOrcer over the tops Of the
mountains by the air current and pre-
cipitation follows. The rain maker"
works on the theory that clouds con-
tanning millions Of tons of moisture
pass over dry districts, but at such
a high altitude that they fail to dis
charge the water within them.
Hatfield declares that his reason
for selecting the mountains as base
for his operations is to be in posi-
tion to treat the so-caled moisture
laden clouds directly. He maintains
that all cities or districts directly east
Of a mountain range are invariably
dry. He says this condition Of affairs
is due to the fact that the clouds, in
being forced over the range by the
winds from the west. pass over the
district Just east of the mountains at
a height where the air Is too light to
cause precipitation without ARTIFICIAL
assistance.
Hatfield, who is California, be-
came enthused in unrdveiing the mys-
terry Of the clouds when lad of 15.
The drouths that southern California
had been experiencing in those days
started him to thinking, with the re-
suit that he took up the study OF met
eorology. 1t was not until April,
1902, a number Of years after he had
commenced his Investigations, that
Hatfield was ready for his initial test.
This test was made in private at San
Diego, and between the date OF April,
1902, and February, 1904. he made IS
similar tests without arouslng sus-
picions as to what he was doing.
1t was in February. 1904. during

You cannot come into kingdom of
God by being good. You may be just
as good as any man who ever walked
this earth and yet you are not saved.
Salvation is not matter of good
ness, neither is damnation a matter
of badness, said DR.. Orr.
You cannot enter into the kingdom
OF God by confessing your sins. You
may confess every sin you have COM
mltted and be sorry for the whole
thing, but 1t does not make you child
OF God. Confession is all right, but
poor Judas confessed his sin and died
and went to hell.
Again you may believe every word
in the bible and yet be lost. The
bible was never given to save men;
that is not the purpose of the book
1t Is necessary and important to be-
lieve the bible, but it was given for
the purpose of pointing man to some
one who could save men. The bible
is Gods prescription for sin. You
must believe it, if you do not, you will
not follow it; you must have conf
dence in it; if you do not, you will not
take the remedy.
The next thought touched upon by
DR.. Orr was, how is it possible for a
man to become child of God CAS-
many as received Him to them gave
He power to become the sons of
God"
DR.. CIR here made plain to his
hearers what receiving Jesus meant
For God SO loved the world that He
gave His only befotten Son, that who
soever believed in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.
HE that hath the Son has life
he that hath not the Son, hath not
| life"
He that believeth on the Son is
not condemned, but he that believetf
not on the Son is condemned already
Here is Christ, the real, living riser
Lord, to such as will receive Him He
will give them the right to become 6
child Of God.
| You do not have to quit any sin ir
the world before you become Chris
ton. ITO them that believe on His
name, gave He power to become the
sons of God" Do you definitely ant
positively receive the Lord Jesu:
Christ as your Savior, your King ant
your teacher? Wrapped up in tina
question is eternity with all its is
sues. You may be a good man ant
woman, said Dr. Orr, and yet hav,
no right to the claim of Christian"
