UNCLE SAM PLANS
LAND AUCTION
Uintah and Grow Reserves Will Go
Under Hammer to Highest
Bidders.

The government is forced to start
bargain sales to dispose of 100000 acres
of land in Utah and Montana.
These lands were taken by the gov
eminent from the Uintah and Crow In
dams in 1905, promising to pay the
tribes when the lands were sold. The
Indians are clamoring for a sale, with
the provision that neither residence or
cultivation are necessary. Homestead
ers, however, have not been attracted
by the offer.
Leading conservationists in the state
are protesting against the proposed re-
linquishment of the lands by the gov
eminent. The first auction is set for
October Is at Billings, Mont, the next
at Provo, Utah, November 1. No in
dividual sale of over GAO acres will be
made.
The purchasers must swear that they
do not intend to sell the lands to a
corporation or syndicate. The minimum
price of Uintah lands is so cents an
acre; for Crow lands So per acre.

The past week has been one of un-
usual activity in the wheat market, and
in the operations on the farms of the
Walla Walla valley. Not only did the

record at Walla Walla, but several
other deals were made, and the begin
ming of fall seeding was noted.
In the sale of 900 bushels of
bluestem and turkey red by George
Drumheller to the Jones-Scott COM
pany of Walla Walla, the largest single
wheat sale of the northwest is recorded.
The price paid was about so cents, the
grain being mostly bluestem.
Farmers generally are still holding
for better prices. Club has gained on
bluestem until now there is only IL
cents difference between them, where
three weeks ago bluestem was bring
ing 10 and IL cents more than club.
On Eureka fat a pool of six farm
ers, of whom three, John Webb, Ben
Grote and Sam Smith, hold by far the
largest amounts, has been formed, and
their entire holdings, about $50 cars,
are on the market for a price cents

History of Case.

The fight of John Dietz for his home
dates back over six years. In 1904
Dietz put in claim against the Chip
pewa Falls Lumber company for money
he alleged was due him. The company
is an offshoot of the immense Weyer-
hauser Lumber company. Dietz. alleged
the company owed him $1,000 for
services. He and his wife said they had
title to eighty acres of land on the now
famous Cameron dam.
A little later Dietz asked for $4,000,
which, he alleged, was due him as toll
for logs driven through the dam. The
company refused to pay the claim.
Dietz opened the gates of the dam,
stood guard over it with a rife and
soon there were 20,OOO,OOO feet of logs
landed high and dry on the banks CT
the stream. The logs became worm
eaten and they were destroyed other
wise.
Then hostilities began. The immense
powers of the lumber interests were
brought to bear against Dietz. Many
attempts were made to capture him, but
he was always too wary. He shot sew
eral deputy sheriffs. He defied the law

BOMB VICTIMS FUNERAL.
Vast Throngs Attend the Los Angeles
Services Over Times Dead.

Los Angeles, Oct. 10.-Seventeen of
the 20 or more men who lost their lives
in the explosion which wrecked the
Times newspaper eight days ago were
laid to rest Sunday in IA graves ranged
side by side in Hollywood cemetery.
One funeral service was held for all, in
Temple auditorium, which was packed
by $500 men and women, while a greater
crowd, unable to enter, stood outside in
solemn silence.
The ceremonies followed sermons in
nearly all the pulpits of the city de-
nOuncing the outrage, and called forth
throng Of mourners and of merely
morbid spectators which overtaxed the
capacity of funeral train comprising
more than a score of suburban trolley
cars.
The funeral was held at clock.
An hour before that the bodies were
! transferred from the undertaken Is
morgue to the auditorium and when the
pressing crowd had been admitted, the
theater curtain rose amid an awesome
silence, disclosing a semi-circle of IA
baskets which contained the shattered
remains of the II victims. No names
were engraved upon the somber gra,
collins, as had been planned, for none
ever had been identified beyond doubt
The memories of all will be perpetuate,
upon the marble shaft of a monumen
which will mark their common resting
place. The Rev. DR.. Burdette, paste
emeritus of Temnle Raptist church con

These words, spoken to Sheriff
Michael Madden at the edge of the
clearing surrounding the besieged home
by little Helen, youngest daughter Of
John F. Dietz, brought to an end Sat
urday afternoon the stubborn resistance
of the man whose stand for the last
six years against what he considered
an injustice has attracted widespread

without death and bloodshed. One
man is dead, three men and a woman
are wounded, and much property has

time Father Pilon, a priest, in his
eagerness to bring the combat to an
end, had started running toward the
cabin.
He waved a handkerchief as he ran
and unhesitatingly entered the door
When Helen and Heffelfnger got half
way to the cabin they met the priest
returning. He did not stop, but hur
ried on to meet the sheriff.
