the settlement and this system of
farming by enlarging the homestead

spread over the middle west and a

ed that developed into feud between
the cattle and sheep men. Dead

mostly on the part of the sheep herd

RANCHERS BENEFIT BY
CHANGE

But as time went on, and the
ranchers were convinced that wheat
and grain would grow and that farm
ing was more profitable than ranch
ing, as they had been convinced that
sheep growing was more profitable
than cattle raising g, many of
them broke up areas themselves and
seeded them to grain, pasturing
their cattle and horses on the lands
only fit for grazing. Then with the
money secured for their cattle, and
with the notes and money received
from the homesteader for their
horses, they set up banks and mer-
camille establishments and many of
them found that the unwelcome
change had rendered them rich.

with the theory that the year had

THE sOD-BUsTER ARRIVES

At about this time another thing
occurred that doomed both the cattle
man and the sheepman who felt that
all their troubles were ended: it was
the coming of the honyak, the home
steader, the sodbuster-men who
came, took up land, and busted the
sod with the idea of farming these
plains, relying on the natural rainfall
to produce a crop. While few had
come from time to time, and expert
mented, they commenced to come
in earnest about 1907, after it had
been demonstrated that dry land
farming was feasible and profitable.

THE PASSING OF THE RANCHER
All the good land was Immediately
filed on. Sod houses went up, wells
were dug for water, coal was mined
for fuel. Machinery and furniture
were hauled in over considerable dis
tances, relatively speaking. Crops
came year after. By 1915 the good
land was all homesteaded. The
rancher, with CONSERVATION saw the
ranges turned over and seeded and
the pastures ruined. His water con-
troll availed him naught. He had to
ship his cattle and sheep. His horses
he sold to the sodbusters at fancy
prices and became we'll off. But the
rancher fumed and fused. In some
places he made open war on the
homesteaders but lost out in the
courts and paid the penalty. He fin
ally was convinced that the range
which he had been using free for so
many years was not his, and SO he
quit cutting down the fences which
the honyokers put up and pasturing
cattle in the homesteaders' grain.
But the fight was bitter and divided
the people into two classes, the
ranchers and the sodbusters, and was
also reflected in the social and pOliti-
cal life of the state.

DROP BUS LINE

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company today petitioned
the Public Utilities Commission
to discontinue the branch of the
Park Road bus line running from
Warder Street Northwest to Rock
Creek Cemetery.
The request. if granted, will
leave the line operating only from
Klingle and Adams Mill Roads
Northwest to Catholic University.
The company, in making the re-
quest, set forth that the loss on
the line in question last year
totaled $14,810 and that the elm
ination of the branch would result
in a saving of from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year.
The commission postponed ac-
ton pending notification of the
citizens associations in the ter
ritory involved of the proposal and
seeking their reaction to the plan.
Associations to be notified are the
Petworth and Chillum Heights
groups. Upon their reply will de-
pend whether or not public hear
ings will be held on the request.

JONES SELECTS
APPRAISERS
FORLOANS
D. C. Realty Experts to Make
Up Staff; How Values
Are to Be Decided

A staff of appraisers is being
selected today by Charles A. Jones
and Paul j. FriZzell, manager and
assistant manager respectively of
the District branch of the Home
owners Loan Corporation, to be-
gin work at once on applications
for loans.
The appraisers will be recruited
from among the ranks of Wash
ington real estate men and will be
selected, Mr.. Jones said, for their
expert knowledge of the city and
it's real estate values.
Paid by Appraisal
Mr.. Jones explained the ap-
praisers, who will be paid SIS an
appraisal, will be instructed to
give equal weight to the market
value at the time of appraisal;
the cost of a similar lot at the
time of the appraisal, plus the
reproduction cost of the building,
less depreciation, and the value Of
the premises as arrived at by cap
italizing the monthly reasonable
rental value of the premises over
period of the past 10 years.
This instruction was illus
trated by Mr.. Jones by citing a
home that was soundly worth
in 1923, $4,000. and had a
market value then of $4,000.
Assuming that today this home
has a market value of $500 and
the present cost of such a lot,
plus reproduction of the house,
less depreciation, gives an as
sumed value of $6,500.
Rent Has Been Cut.
Ten years ago the house had a
rental value of 500 a month,
which has now been cut to $50
monthly, Mr.. Jones explained,
and the average rental value is
figured to be $75 monthly, which
gives $500 valuation.
The present day market value,
$500 is added to the reproduc-
ton cost of $500, and this total
is added to the $500 valuation
on the rental basis. bringing the
total to $19,500. This figure is
divided by three, making the
appraisal of $6,500.

General Stephan Seeks Fund
of $2,500,00O As Part of

Construction of an armory for

was urged today by Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan as part of the

General Stephan pointed out that
for the past 20 years the District
guard units have needed suitable
armory facilities, and that such
construction has been approved
by Congress several times.
The Federal Government re-
quires the States to provide arm
ories for storage of army mate
rials furnished to the Guard and
for space for drill and military
instruction, General Stephan
pointed out. At present the Dis
trict Guard is without such an
armory.
The original site selected for
the proposed armory is on the

DIRECTORS ASK
BANK SUIT END

Supreme Court yesterday by de-
PENDANTS in the Park Savings
Bank suit revealed the inclina-
ton of all parties to place the
law in the case squarely before
the court.
Declaring that the bank has
operated as corporation for
the past four years and that no
question has been raised before
as to it's corporate existence, the
% directors of the bank asked
dismissal of the suit.
The payment of franchise and
license fees to the State of Ala
bama, where the charter was is
sued, is a recognition of its cor
porate existence by that State,
which has sole jurisdiction in the
matter, it is claimed.
The receiver, j. F. Moran,
averred that he is the legally ap-
pointed receiver and stands ready
to enforce liability against any
persons determined by the court
and the Comptroller, indicating
his willingness to stand on the
law. He asks that the parties in
the suit be so realigned as to
make the receiver a plaintiff.
