WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE govern.

about 500 acres at Beltsvilte, Md,
about thirteen miles from w ashingto

poses to use this farm for the breeding
of horses, cows, pigs, chickens and al

and to make the farm of great interest
to live stock people all over the coun.
try.
The department claims the need for
such a'farm has long been felt, as ii
has been without proper facilities for
making important investig stions In
breeding for which farm conditions
are required. Some breeding work
has been done At the government far N
st Bethesda. Md, but it has not been
considered safe to conduct work oi
this kind on the same premises where
investig attons OF contagious diseases
are being made. The farm at Bethes.
ds will be maintained for experiments
relating to diseases, but the breeding
will be transferred to the new farm st

DIETZ HAS HAD ENOUGH.
The Cameron Dam Defender Finally
Surrenders To the Sheriff.

The Cameron Dam Defender Finally
Surrenders To the Sheriff.
WINTER, Wis, Oct. 8.-''If papa
comes out will you promise not to
shoot him? He is shot through the
hand and wants to surrender" These
words, spoken to Sheriff Mike Mad
den at the edge of the clearing sur.
rounding the beseiged home, by little
Helen, youngest daughter of John F.
Deitz, brought to an end this after.
noon the stubborn resistance of the
man whose stand for the last six years
against what he considered injustice
has been of widespread interest.
Deitz was wounded while firing from
the barn during the afternoon, when q
bullet went through crack and pass.
ed through his left hand.
Deitz denied that the wound caused
him to surrender. To Father Joseph
Pilon, priest who aided in bringing
the long drawn out contest to q close,
he whispered that baby was about
to be born to his wife, and be feared
that both she and the infant might
die. The surrender of Deitz was
dramatic. The alert lumbermen, lean.
ing on their rifles at the edge of the
clearing and gazing intently at the log
cabin, suddenly saw the futtering of
q white handkerchief at the door.
Then little Helen appeared, and, ad.
vancing with the cloth over head,
walked to the edge of the clearing
where she announced that her father
was willing to surrender.
A short consultation followed be.
tween the sheriff and his deputies, and
Deputy Heffel6nger volunteered to 20
back with the girl. In the meantime
Father Pilon, q priest, in his eager.
ness to bring the combat to an end,
b ad started running toward the cabin.
He waved handkerchief as he ran,
and unhesitatingly entered the door.
When Helen and Heffelfnger got hall
way to the cabin, they met the priest
returning. He did not stop but bur.
ried on to meet the sheriff.
'Deitz will eurrender,' said the
priest. shut he wants q doctor to
dress his wounds"
Sheriff Madden refused to go to the
cabin and kept behind tree. Deputies
Thornbaughu, Sully, Heffelfinger and
DR.. D. G. F. Grafton of Hayward,
went to the cabin. dressed Deitz' q
wounds, handcuf1ed him and Leslie
and brought them out.

LANDS: CULTIVATED.
Congressman Mondeil Urges Liberal
Treatment Of Homesteaders.

Congressman Mondell Urges Liberal
Treatment Of Homesteaders.
SPOKANE, Oct. 5.- An argument
against the national conserv alton
policy of Theodore Roosevelt was
outlined in the address of Congress-
man F. w. Mondell of Wyoming,
president Of the dry farming congress,
on "Dry Farming and It's Relation to
the Public Land Laws" which was
read before the session this afternoon
by Secretary John T. Burns.
Congressman MondellG.declares the
policy of "permanentogovernment
ownership" of the timber area tends
to concentrate the lumberabusiness in
few hands. He closes by saying:
Whatever plan is pursued, it is
clear that we must, as time passes, as
more of the desirable lands pass into
priv ate ownership, provide more lib
eral legislati for the.useIand dispo.
sition OF the remaining public lands
and owing to the great. diversity of
conditions it would perhaps be best to
have this legi alton more or less local
in character.
"In the name of conservation Ger.
tain people are now advocating the
policy OF retaining in public owner
ship all the remaining public lands
except such as can be placed under
cultivation. Perhaps the doctrine has
not often been stated ss broadly as
this, but the statement that none but
homestead lands should pass into
private ownership amounts to the
same thing. This doctrine, which
contemplates permanent national own
ership of all mineral, all pasture and
all wooded lands, is so radical that it
behooves every thinking man to care
fully consider the effect OF such q sys.
tenn of permanent government land
lordism."
