STRONGLY ENDORSES
FEDERAL POLICY
Dry Farming Congress Puts Itself on
Record at Meeting In Salt Lake
City.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 25.--An at.
tempt to implicate the transmits
souri, Dry Farming Congress in the
controversy over the policy of the
federal government with regard to the
forestry service today proved unsuc'
cessful. A resolution from the com
mittee on resolutions endorsing the
efforts to preserve the forests and
thus conserve the moisture called
forth from Daniel Harrington, OF
Utah, a severe criticism OF the re-.
strlctions placed upon stock grazing
on the public range. A motion to re.
commit the resolution was made but
the congress, taking the view that
water Is more important than grazing
from farming standpoint, declined
to tamper with the committees re.
port and adopted 1t overwhelmingly.
Other resolutions commentators of
the governments activity in behalf of
agriculture were also adopted.
W. c. Barnes, inspector Of grazing
in the department of agriculture
spoke on the relation of dry farming
TO the live stock industry. He told OF
the settlement of eastern New Mexi
co and said the success of dry farm.
ing there had driven thousands of
sheep and cattle from that range, but
the loss to the stock growers would
be gain to the nation.

HILL TAKES charge AS
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR
Post at German Capital is Formally Transferred
By Charlemange Tower.

ment last March have apparently been
forgotten and the career of DR.. Hill in
Berlin promises to be brilliant one.
1t is alleged that the objection was
based principally upon the belief of
the German state officials that DR..
Hills comparative poverty would pre-
vent him from maintaining an estab-
lshment in accordance with the Law
ish precedent set by Ambassador
Tower.
DR.. Hill YVES until recently the
American minister to the Hague and
ever since hts appointment to that
post has been highly popular in
European diplomatic circles. He was
selected to fill this important vacancy
for two reasons-first, because of his
rank in the world of literature and
diplomacy, and, second, because of his
promotion would be in execution of
Secretary Roots cherished plan for
application of civil service principles
in the diplomatic service.
DR.. Hill is nearly IS years old, and
is an accomplished linguist, having
made an especial study CT the Ger.
man language. He has had wide
experience in diplomacy, and at
Washington is regarded as one of the
most tactful and ingenious officials in
this branch of the service. He was
born in Plainfield, N. j., June 10, 1850,
and is the son of a Baptist minister,
the Rev. David T. Hill. He went to
college at Suffield, Conn, and at Coop.
erstown, N. Y, and early in life began
writing.
The majority of his writings are on
philosophical subjects, although one
OF his best known works is History
of Diplomacy" He was made presi.
dent of Bucknell University in 1879
and in 1889 ne became president of the
University of Rochester, which place
he filled until his resignation in 1896
He then spent some time in Europe
studying law. and diplomacy and in
1898 was appointed Asst 'tant Secre
tary of State by President Mckinley
He was socially popular in Washing
ton for five. years, and filled the chair
OF European diplomacy in the School
