DIETZ DAM CASE
FINALLY SETTLED
Millions of Feet of Logs So Ions.
Held Up Will Be Moved
at Once.

Winter, Wis, Sept 2O.-The famous
Dietz dam dispute has been settled
1t is stated that an agreement has
| been made between the contending
| parties and that the millions of feet
OF logs that have long been held up
| by the Intrepid defender of Cameron
dam on the ThornappIe river, near
here. will be moved at once. The
terms of the settlement are not given.
The trouble arose over dispute as
to the title of tract of land covering
| the Cameron dam of the Thornapple
| river. Both the Chippewa Log and
Boom colnpany and John Dietz
claimed title to the land and Dietz de-
Tended the property against all COM
ers. Three different sheriffs failed to
capture Dietz, who has gained nation
81 fame for his bold act in defying the
| authorities.
st. Paul, Sept. 20. A dispatch
from Rice Lake. Wis, referring to the
reported settlement of the dispute be-
tween John Dietz and the Chippewa
Log and Boon company over the own
ership Of Cameron dam on Thornapple
river, Wis, says: 1.-THE settlement was
effected in this city this week, and
was made between DietS > brother and
w. l.. Moses. of Chippewa Falls. The
latter took the contract to move the
logs that have been tied up by Dietz
for oyer two years, down the river to
the Chippewa Log and Boom COM
pany's sawmill at Chippewa Falls for
a consideration of $4,000.
1T is alleged that of this sum he
gave DietZ $4,000 for permission to
drive the logs through Dietz's dam on
the Thornapple river. The logging COM
pany refused to deal with or pay
DietZ a cent, but when Moses made
them proposition to drive the logs to
the mill for $4,000 they accepted it.
ard then Moses effected settlement
with Dietz by paying him $1,000.
which ends the long and bitter fight
fof possession of the logs
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Sept 81. -
The 100000 feet of logs held up for
three years by John DietZ, of Cameron
dam, will be floated to this city by
way of the Flanlbeau river route, the
Mississippi river Logging company
having given the contract to W. +.
Moses. of Mortified. Mimi, to haul
them by team from Thornapple river
to Flambeau river, distance of five
| miles.
This eliminates all future trouble with
Dietz and makes unnecessary the re-
building of the Cameron dam to flood
the logs by the Thornapple river route.
The report that Dietz has been paid
$4,000 by the company for so-called
settlement is denied. Sheriff Clark
still has three criminal warrants

serve.

The Secret.

From his farm Judge Blank was In
the habit of supplying the preachers
of all the churches with -four, corn,
hay and vegetables free of cost. He
also kept the country supplied with
venison from the herd of deer which
he kept for many years. He built a
big smokehouse in the rear of his
grounds. One night, unseen himself,
he saw a man emerge from the smoke
house with side of pork on his Shout
der. He recognized the intruder, but
said nothing. A week afterward the
fellow approached him, saying, Judge,
I understand you had some meat stol-
en- from your smokehouseY' The old
judge raised his hand deprecatingly
and said: Ssh! No one on earth
knows anything about that but you

Experts.

One of the dangers of democratism
which this country has not wholly es-
capped is consequence of the wide
spread assumption that the natural
equality between men signifies that
all men are equally able to do all
things. This view, 1t is true, has
been often borne out by the amazing
success of Americans, with no evi-
dent special training, in the discharge
Of public duties. Much good work
has been done by men who have
been elected or appointed to positions
requiring great special skill, not be-
cause they had shown that skill, but
because they were eminent citizens
or useful party men or men Of assert
I've genius who forged ahead to the
work that their instincts rightly bade
them seek. AS the nation grows and
the work of officials becomes more
complex, there is increasing demand

ton of a great number of scientific ex-
perts, the tendency in the post office
and other departments to leave com
petent servants undisturbed by shifts
of party power, and the recognition
everywhere that men in public occu-
pations like those in private business
must be engaged and paid according
to their ability. To have this ability
they must be trained in their work.
Department heads in Washington are
calling for experts, and asking in

The improvement of all units of
American government-nation, state
and town-depends on the training
and adequate payment of men who
can do the public work.
