Show IT DIDNT RAIN It would seem that the Associated Press correspondent who accompanied DTREN FiraTn on his recent rainmaking expedition expedi-tion in Texas saw a good deal more than the people residing in the vicinity had any idea occurred The Associated Press man it will be remembered told of the great ranis which attended ttio assault on the clouds with kites and dynamite and the experiments were pronounced eminently successful the government and Uncle JERRY RUSK being warmly congratulated An entirely different story now comes from the scene of the exploits The Dallas News had a correspondent on the ground all the time and he solemnly avers that he had little use for an umbrella and none at all for some hours after the experiment or within ten miles of the scene of the explosion explo-sion Bad luck attended the rain compellers com-pellers at every turn their retorts got on firo and nad to be lassoood into a pond by the cowboys and the baloons did not si explode but burned up or floated off in the p air at their own sweet will The cowboys had the most fun firing off the powder on the ground and made the most noise and there was not the slightest moisture anywhere any-where around to interfere with their fireworks fire-works The summary of this correspond qnts report is that Theresult of theso experiment ex-periment is nil No rain has fallen at the Chicago ranch eight ten or twenty hours after the experiment It has rained within ten miles of headquarters but where the operations were the sky was as clear and the sun was as bright as though there were no rainmakers in existence This story is verified by other parties who were present and by people living within ten miles of the place where DTREXFURTH was stationed when he undertook to make the laws of nature conform to his will The supposition is that the reports that a heavy rain was produced were sent out In the interest I in-terest of a scheme to secure large appropriations appropri-ations for continuing the operations |
