Clarence Dietz a Section
Hand

The following item IN regard to
Clarence Dietz, whom it will be re-
membered, lectured in the Gem
theatre here about year ago, is
clipped from the Minneapolis
Tribune of yesterday morning:
RosEBURG, OREGON. Jan. 31.-
Clarence Dietz, son of John Dietz,
the Cameron dam outlaw" who is
serving life term in the Wisconsin
state penitentiary, following the
killing of deputy sheriff in raid
on his homestead, was discovered
here yesterday as a resident of
Yoncalla, Douglas county. Dietz
is but 80 years old and is employed
as a section hand, but looks like a
man aged so.
He carries scars of two bullet
wounds, momentoes of the battle
between the Dietz family and the
deputies. He says he wishes never
to return to the state, the offers 81
which tried to kill his sister id

AT THE NORMAL

The annual Normal school ora
torical contest to select speaker
to represent this school in the state
contest will occur at the Opera Hall
Wednesday evening, February IA.
A great deal of enthusiasm and
class spirit is being infused into
the contest and classes will attend
prepared to cheer their speakers on.
An attractive program of addresses
on topics of interest is arranged.
There will be six speakers with adj
dresses as follows: Carl Miller.
Obedience to Law" Will Moser,
insurgency" Marie Laue, will
liam Lloyd Carlson" Harvey
Fletcher, THE Spirit of Progress"
Sidney Rogers, Rights of the I'm
skilled" Grace Zimmerman, 1.-THE
Comic Supplement.
The new rule requiring students.
to maintain passing grade in at
least ten hours of his work or be
dropped from school, is having a
stimulating effect. 1t has pat
deiniteness and purpose into the
work of some students. The new
term has begun with an especially
quiet and industrious atmosphere.
Professor Welles has received re-
quests to test seed corn for several
! farmers. Those who have seed
corn that they want tested may
bring it in and have it accurately
tested gratuitously.
The new semester opened this
week with an increased attendance.
The departments of Science,
Mathematics and English are either
working to their full capacity or are
a little overcrowded. The over
crowding in the Science department
necessitated Professor Coolies TAX
ing a class in Geology to relieve
Professor Welles. These facts in
dictate that there is steady growth
in attendance fostered by the spirit
of progress in the school and the
broad policy of the Board of Re-
gents in extending the old courses
and introducing new ones.
/ The Board of Regents will hold
their semi-annual meeting next
week. At this meeting President
Crabtree will present his first report
of conditions in this Normal school.
1t is natural to see Professor
Clark at work in the Mathematics
Department. The students and
faculty accorded him an exceeding.
Iy cordial welcome. His healthful
work on his fruit farm at Hanford,
Wash. has rested him so he is
thoroughly refreshed and fit for
work in school. Including the
year of absence, Professor Clark
has b cen connected with this
school nineteen years, the present
one making his twentieth.

Want Woman Suffrage
Information in Wisconsin

That woman suffrage is the most
widely discussed subject in Wiscon.
sin at the present time is shown
from statistics of the package
libraries of the department of de-
batting and public discussion of the
University of Wisconsin extension
division. During December there
have been four times as many calls
for information regarding woman
suffrage from this department, as
there were for any other subject.
Thirty package Libraries on votes
for women were in circulation in
the state during the month.
The initiative and referendum,
was the second in demand in Wis
consin during December, while
commission form of city govern
ment held third place; immigration,
fourth, the parcels post, fifth, and
the income tax, sixth place. Owing
to the interest that has been aroused
in the income tax because of the re.
cent supreme court decision, indi-
cations are that it will take second
place for the month of January.

Alton. Mimi, Harbor Plan
Rejected

Alton, Mimi, put in a plea re-
Gently for a government built har-
Dor and after an examination of the
St. Croix river at that point by
engineers the proposal was turned
down. In his report Gen. Bixby,
chief of engineers, gives out the fol-
lowing statement,
1.-The improvement desired is the
dredging of certain shoals in front
of the town of Alton for the pur-
pose of permitting boats to land.
The district officer states that deep
water approaches to within 100 feet
OF shore at the upper end of town,
and that there are good depths
close to the bank about one-fourth
of mile below the town. In the
opinion of the district office. what
is needed is a good wharf, and he
does not consider the improvement
worthy of being undertaken by the
United States.
The department criticises the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
road for the inadequate service 1t
has given to Alton.

Those who have thought tn at
what we term modern agriculture
is all new are apt to receive some
severe jolts if they go into agricul-
tural literature. Not to refer to
the writings of the "old masters,
of the first century of the Christian
era, or before, the following lines
will indicate that at least some of
the people were awake to agricul-
tural thought some time ago. Mar
tin Tusser (1562) wrote:
Oats, RE or else barlie, and wheat
that is gray,
Brings land out of comfort, and
soone to decay;
One after another, no comfort be-
tweene,
Is crop upon crop, as will quickly
be scene;
Still crop upon crop many farmers
do take
And reape little profit for greedi-
nesse sake.

Boys Farwell to
Professor Castle

Nothing could more genuinely
spirited than the meeting at the
Normal school Tuesday evening IN
honor of Professor Castle who
leaves tomorrow for Princeton,
N. J. Almost every boy student
and member of the faculty was
present. An hour was spent in the
gymnasium after which refresh-
ments were served in the music
room. President Crabtree w S
the POSTMASTER and a number of
short speeches were made by some
of the boys and members of the
faculty. Stories and football incl
dents and appreciations followed
with refreshing spontaneity; yet
there was a feeling of seriousness
that eliminated in the remarks of
Professor Clark, President Crab
tree and Professor Castle. Prof.
esssor Clark applauded the clean
manly sort of athletics that had
been fostered by Professor Castle,
his generous and genial qualities
of character, congratulated t b e
boys that they had an opportunity
to know him, and expressed regret
that he was to leave the school.
Professor Castle a i d excellent
things of the boys as he had known
them in their athletic work, and
though he will find many very
pleasant friends ready to welcome
him at Princeton, he regretted to
leave the school here where he had
found so much to enjoy. Very
pleasant things were said also by
Robert Moser, Edison Condit and
Professor Ames.

Frozen Silage Poisons Cattle,
Says Expert


Farmers of Wisconsin are being
warned against the use of frozen
silage by ]. L. Tormey of the Col
lege of Agriculture of the Univers-
ity of Wisconsin. The unusually
cold weather this winter has frozen
silage in almost every silo and in
some cases considerable trouble
has followed when this feed has
been given to the stock. Sheep
usually fall victims to frozen silage
more readily than cattle. One man
lost over half dozen sheep in one
night.
No bad results occur when the
silage is fed after being thawed, !"
says Mr.. Tormey. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that after
thawing, the silage will mold read
lily and so must be fed almost i'm
mediately. During cold weather it
is wise to keep the edges of the
silage in the silo somewhat lower
than the center. A good way to
thaw out the frozen material is to
cover it with silage that is not
frozen. Some cover the silage in
the silo with blanket. Another
way to thaw it is to fill the silage
cart and let it stand in a warm place
over night. Some people hang a
lighted lantern in the silo to keep
the frost out.
