The East Oregonian reports that as
result of the cold weather of last

In the country south of Pendleton was
frozen and the farmers will have to
reseed. In some places reported the
barley is entirely frozen out while on
other ranches the damage was infliot-

will be necessary. Reports indicate
no damage was inflicted on the grow
ing wheat and that the damage to bar
ley ia confined to the southern part of
the reservation and to the section in
the region Of Pilot Rock. 10 some
portions of the frozen belt barley is
the chief crop and the loss will be
felt by the farmers However, they
will still have an opportunity to secure
the crop by resesding.

A Rain Preventer.

About fifty years ago an invention
was announced which would be ac-
claimed with joy just now. A German,
Helvetius Otto, stated that he had dis
covered means of preventing rain.
He built platform on which were
placed some huge bellows worked by
steam at a very high pressure. These
were supposed to blow away any
clouds gathered above. Otto main
tained that these "pluvifuges" dis
tributed throughout town would en-
able the authorities to insure dry
weather for SO long as they thought
fit. The inventor bore high reputa-
ton in the scientific world. and his
pluvifuge attracted attention. But it
never proved practicable, and after a
few months experiment Otto gave up
trying to fight the weather.
