They Shot Some Ducks.
Lindsay , Nob. , Oct. 10. Special to
The News : A party of three , George
Uusselman , Ralph Johnson and John
Sweeney had Just returned after a
week's duck shooting from Goose
Lake , about sixty miles northwest of

and the sky too clear.
Monocle is Coming.
New York , Oct. 10. The woman with
the monocle is coming. She has bob
bed up In Paris , but as yet has not
had courage enough to visit London ,
However , It may bo expected that be
fore many months she will bo seen
In New York , in the Metropolitan op
era house , the theaters or along Fifth
avenue. The lorgnette has been put
aside to a great extent in Paris. Wo
men have acquired the habit of using
only one glass , which they hold before
the eye by the ifiuscles of the cheek
Some carry the glass on n long han
die. The monocle is reported to have
many advantages over the lorgnette
and Paris women have taken to H
with much eagerness. The monocle
may be seen in the theaters and op
era houses in that city , and ever
Berlin has taken it up.

PLAY SHOWS THE SKELETON.
The Novel Hides It , That's the Differ
ence , W. J. Locke Says.
New York , Oct. 10. W. J. Locke
the English novelist ana playwright
is making a second visit to Now York
Some of the plays made out of Mr
Locke's novels have been big success
es as such. Others have not beet
so fortunate , In splto of the great
popularity of the books from whlcl
they were drawn. Aa delicately si
possible the impertinent question win
put to him , "Why ? "
The author tied his legs into some
thing resembling a bowknot , but other
wise took the question unperturbed.
"If you've not a good dramatic stor ;
in a novel , there is no reason wh ;
the latter shouldn't be successful as s
play , " he returned. "If you haven't
then you don't get a good play.
"What I feel about making a drami
into a novel is this : In a novel oni
has n certain skeleton which one hide ;
from the public view , not the akeletoi
of the closet , exactly , but a skoletoi
which ho covers over with flesh am
all the graces and charm that he can
Very often the mere articulation of tin
skeleton in the novel is not the ele
ment with which the writer wants ti
make his appeal. Now , in convertini
a novel into a play one lias simpl ;
got to make the skeleton promlnen
and as there are only two or threi
hours In which to do the whole stor ;
one has got to sacrifice a host o
things for which ho really wrote th
novel. That Is the great difficulty 1 :
dramatizing a novel. The 'Morals o
Marcus' was successful as n play , fo
the simple reason that the story , 'Th
Morals of Marcus Ordeno , ' lent Itsel
to dramatic use.
"Do I think the public taste In fie
tion is changing ? Not at all. It 1
the same as over. But there are man
publics. After all , there is only on
story In the world a man , n womar
and a possible baby. It is the huma :
story that alone Is interesting. "
"Is It not a fact that you now hav
n wider public in the United State
than In England ? "
"Well , of course , America is a roue
larger country , and there may b
Bomothlng in the fact that the Amor
cans are a nation of book buyers an
not a nation of book borrowers , awe
wo are In England. Here if anybod
wants to read n book , he goes an
buys it , while in England he waits hi
time until half a dozen other person
have finished reading the copy bclouf
Ing to the circulating library. "
BOY OF 62 SENT TO JAIL.
Parent Says Decrepit "Lad" Is Incoi
rlglble and Court Sentences.
New York , Oct. 10. That decrepl
bad boy , Frank T. Wllmot of Wllliami
burg , was sent to the workhouse fo
six months by Magistrate O'Reilly tc
day. The lad wept pitifully as ho wa
sentenced , declaring that in his sis
ty-two years of life such a dlsgrac
never had been visited on him before
Young Wllmot , his whiskers cart
fully combed , appeared In court on ai
adjourned hearing of his father'
charge that he Is Incorrigible. Th
distressed parent , George Washington
Wllmot , who IB 81 , mild it was a bit
too much at his time of life to look
after a boy who drank the way young
Prank T. did.
"Ho'a a good boy for all but that , "
quavered old Wllmot. "but I can't con
trol him , and I wish the law would
take a try at It. " ,
"Well , I think you are an incorrigi
ble young Hcninp , " said Magistrate
O'Hellly , and then sentenced him.

d DIETZ A CAPTIVE.
Defender of Cameron Dam Surrender
to Sheriff.
Winter , Win. , Oct. 10. "If pap
comes out will you promise not t
shoot him ? Ho is shot through th
hand and wants to surrender. "
P. These words , spoken to Sheriff Mik
'
Madden at'Vho edge of the clearln
surrounding the besieged homo b
little Helen , youngest daughter c
John F. Dlctz , brought to an end th
stubborn resistance of the man whos
stand for the last six years agalns
what ho considered Injustice has ai
traded widespread interest.
The surrender did not come , how
ever , without death and bloodshed
One man is dead , three men and i
woman are wounded and much pror
o erty has been destroyed.
Oscar Harp , 25 years old , deputy
sheriff , killed Saturday.
The injured :
John F. Dlctz , 40 years of age. de
fender of Cameron dam , shot through
the hand.
Cliet Colepuch , 35 , deputy , right oar
hot off.
Clarence Dlctz , shot through arm.
Myra Diet/ , shot through body , will
lecover.
The last two named , children of
John Uletz , were shot a week ago by
deputies.
Harp was found on a hill beyond the
Dletz cabin with a bullet hole In his
head. He. wltlf Mont Wiley , Thomas
Pomerlo and William Rankln , all dep
uties , had tried to crawl to a place of
vantage In the lumber plies near the
llotz barn when a well directed bullet
aught him. According to Wiley three
bullets whistled through the air at
about the same time , and one of them
-truck Harp. The other reputles re-
reated without trying to rescue their
lomrade. He was found at 3.30
o'clock and had been dead about three
lours.
Dlctz was not wounded during the
imn.ing fusillade as had been sup-
oscd. Ills drop to the Around was
nerely a ruse to fool the deputies.
Ic was injured , however , while firing
rom the barn during the afternoon ,
when a bullet went through a crack
uul passed through his left hand.
Dletz denied that the wound caused
ilm to surrender.
To Father Joseph Pllon , the priest
who was largely instrumental in bring-
ng the long drawnout contest to a
close , It was whispered that a baby
was about to be born to his wife , and
ic feared that both she and the Infant
might die.
The surrender of Dietz was very
dramatic. The alert lumbermen , leanIng -
Ing on their rifles at the edge of the
clearing and gazing Intently at the
windows of the log cabin , suddenly
saw the flutter of a white handker
chief at the door. Then little Helen
appeared and , advancing with cloth
over her head , walked to the edge oi
the clearing , where she announced
that her father was willing to sur
render.
A short consultation followed be
tween the sheriff and his deputies
and Deputy Heffelflnger volunteered
to go back with the girl. In the mean
time , Father Pilon , a priest , In his
eagerness to bring the combat to aii
end , had started running toward the
cabin. He waved a handkerchief as
he ran and unhesitatingly entered the
door. When Heffelilnger got half waj
the priest was returning. He did nol
stop , but hurried on to meet the sher
iff.
"Dietz will surrender , " said the
priest , "but he wants a doctor to dress
his wounds and he desires to talk wltl
the newspaper men. "
ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
D. L. Crellln of Plalnvlew Tells of Hi-
Trip Rain Scarce.
Portland , Ore. , Sept. 20. I left Gen
trnlla in the tender care of Buffalc
William and his Wild West show
Passing through Chchalis , you an
pointed out the place whore Tracy
the bandit was killed some years ago
I stopped off at Wlnlock and an ok
time friend , Frank Baxter , met me ai
the train and drove me to his rancl
a mile east of Toledo. This is an in
land town seven miles from the rail
load , at the very edge of the settle
ment on . .Cowlitriver. . It is the heae
of navigation on that noble stream
Some of the "prairies" near then
were settled at the time the Hudsoi
Bay company had trading posts in the
vicinity. Tills company had a big
ger trust on the fur business than the
Standaid has on oil. Great crops are
laised on these level plateaus am
land is valuable. Lumbering Is one
of the principal Industries , but frill
raising and dairying are growing more
prominent. Here the Jersey cow ha !
a climate similar to her native land
and she is at her best in the woodi
and * pastures of the Cowlitz.
In tills part of Washington a grea
deal depends on the roads. Fron
Winlock to Toledo the roads are sur
faced with crushed rock and are ai
good in wet weather as in the drj
season. A few miles beyond Tolede
the road ends and there is only i
blazed trail through the dense for
ests. Here are deer , bear and cou
gars galore. The streams are full o
trout and salmon , and you can ge
as close to Nature as you desire. Ii
the deep recesses of these vast for
ests are said to be private stills ane
the rendezvous of bandits and out
laws. The people of Toledo are good
loyal and hospitable citizens , wh <
strictly enforce the laws of their state
In fact , this little burg of 600 soul ;
could bo profitably taken as an ex
ample by much larger places. Port
land is seventy miles down the Cow
lltz river from Toledo. It is the larg
est city north of San Francisco , am
as truly American as any of the cltiei
of the east. With a population o
250,000 and growing fast , It Is a riva
of Seattle.
The Columbia river rolls majestlcal
ly by to the sea , bearing on its broae
bosom the commerce of this city witl
other ports , all over the world. Thi
business houses have the finest ells
plays in their windows of any city ii
the union. It is the most orderly bl |
city wo have even been In. The archl
lecture Is modern and her sky scrap
ers rival those of any city of her size
Viewed from nn elevation by nigh
the electric lights are too beautlfu
to describe. Although people slee ]
there Is no night in Portland , so fa
as commerce Is concerned. It Is :
very pleasant place to live In and tin
scenery Is grand. Mountain peaks
with a mantle of snow , loom up in the
distance , The smoke of the citj
seems to rise and disappear and doei
not hang like a pall over the city , ai
In some places. The public bulltllngi
of Portland are second to none. Edu
ration , culture and art arc found he-re
and the Inhabitants are always plan
ning for n great and glorious future.
All Americans are , and ought to be ,
proud of Poitland.
Koteburg , OnSept. . 22. I have
jmtonu.lctcd ( a daylight rldo through
the- famous WIIllame ttc valley , from
Pen Hand to Roseburg. The term val
ley IK father a misnomer. The Wll-
Hume-tie basin would bo more appro-
pi late. Tills magnificent river tum
bles over the rocks at Oregon City ,
a few miles south of Portland , and
the IninicMi.-o water power la being
utlll/od for electric energy. A c.\s-
tent of locks Is used te > promote the
navigation up the river. As you proceed -
coed touthward up stream the valley
widens into a great basin , In some
[ laces Illty inllos wide , of level pralrlo
anels. Tills is the greatest agricul
tural section of Oregon. The South
ern Pacific railroad runs through this
basin , the towns being , along the rail-
load , only a few miles apart.- Some
of the piettiest towns In the United
States are found here.
This has been the driest year west
ern Oregon has experienced since the
advent of the white man. The pastures
are brown and the trees show the
effects of drouth. Fruit , however ,
seems abundant. The apple trees near
the road are piopped to prevent the
weight of the fiult from breaking the
branches. Flowers bloom in the open
air. There are wheat Holds as far
as the eye can see and the yellow
stubble indicates n good yield. Farm
ers are plowing for fall wheat.
I met on the train an old man who
told me that lie had been In Oregon
since 1851. He was a moiose old
fellow. When I asked him the price
of Wllllamottc lands he tried to evade
the question. I finally asked him If
there wt-i any homesteads left near
the railroad that I could file on. Then
ho laughed and laughed and volun
teered to say that land was worth
from $100 to $500 an acre. Cut over
lands In the hilly dibit-lets you can
got at your own prlcf. I will tell you
something about Rose-burg In my next.
Roseburg. Ore. , St-pt. 25. As the
name would suggest , the roses are in
bloom here , beautiful to behold. Tills
is a city after Hoose Belt's own heart.
Teddy's name , translated from Hol
land Dutch to English , means "rose
plain. " Roseburg means a "rose vil
lage. " Children are numerous here.
No danger of race suicide for the ex >
president to worry over. The night
I arrived I was an interested specta
tor at a school meeting in the court
house , where it was decided to bullel
a new high school building to cost
not less than $100,000 , during the
present year. Although a city of onlj
U.OOO population , it has two dally pa
pers each of them printing a semi
weekly also. At the present time the
sewer system is being extended r
mile or two.
This Is one of the best fruit ills
tricts of Oregon , both In quantity ami
quality. The prune and hop industry
Is growing fast. Most of the prunes
are dried and sent to London. Bart
lett pears reach perfection here and
peaches are a certain crop. Fruit rais
Ing , farming , dairying , mining ami
lumbering are tlio resources. The
city is putting down a lot of pav
ing. The county of which Roseburi ;
Is the county seat , wont dry lasl
spring and the costo f keeping and
prosecuting criminals has been great
ly reduced thereby. The elevation is
488 feet above the sea and distanl
about bixty miles from the coast
Tills is n rnlli and division point and
the monthly pay roll Is large. A
i United States land office Is locatee
3 here.
Hemmed In by a low range of moun
tains , this part of Oregon is sheltereei
and the winter rain fall Is not exces
sive. Grass is green and flowers bloon :
nearly nil winter. There is no wine :
nt any time and to the dust covered
ears of a Nebraskan the calm Is like
the- hush that comes before the rusl :
of a tempest. Oregonians are makinf
desperate efforts to populate the wile
lands of the state. To a farmer raisee'
on the broad and level prairies of the
middle west , this is n rather forbid
ding country. The "moss backs , " how
ever , like a mountain for a buck
ground to their landscapes. Those
who desire a model western city neee'
not look any farther , for here It Is
Metford and Ashland are cities o !
about the size of Roseburg. The
country near these two towns Is bad
ly dried out this year and it will stoi
or chock their growth.
Grant Pass Is also a rival of Rose
burg and that , too , is suffering fron
lack of moisture.
Washington and Oregon have theli
drawbacks In climate which will no
change as long as the earth revolves
It is too wet in winter and too dry ii
summer. Fields that are drained ii
the spring are Irrigated In the fal
and It will bo over thus. It is be
tween the mountains and the deei
blue sea and the climate is fixed foi
all time. In the valley , near the citj
limits , I came upon this :
"A quiet little cottage , where the
trees ate always green , and the
charming roses blossom "round the
door. " Near the house was an olc
oaken bucket , an iron bound bucket , i
moss covered bucket , that hung in the
well. The orchard , tlio meadow , the
deep tangled wlldwood was close bj
and a mountain In the background foi
the eye to look up against. It wai
probably the home of a family whe
moved hero for their health and whe
sought this quiet , sequestered nook
away from the maddening crowd
where the winds are hushed and silence
lonce soothes the strained nerves. The
sunset , like the climate Is n dupll
cato of Italy , The gorgeous skies o ;
evening and the glories of the partlnf
day , once seen are always remember
eel. The purple and gold and crlm
son blended with a turquoise sky fur
nlshes inspiration for both painter nnt
poet. The trees and roofs of housei
are moss covered as well ns the old
oaken bucket. This Is n product of
, the rainy boawni and strange to say
tlio wet pint of the year Is said to
I bo the most honlthy. For six months
; there Is no dust and no sun bonnets
! nei-dcd. The children of Hosoburg
have reiFe-s In tl-clr cheeks and they
are a healthy , happy lot. One Is cs-
l oclally lnii > re-ste-d with the city and
ilmoit forgets tlio drawbacks as they
linger and me loath to leave.
Yroka. Calif. . Sept. 25. Special to
The News : The rldo ever tin- South
ern Pacific rnllrond , through the- glens ,
gorges , rnnyons and passes of the
luiuntalns , ever the lofty Slsklyou
lange Is elellgMful to the mortal whe )
has semi onoi-gh to appreciate sub
lime and wonderful scenery. As you
near the summit the train climbs the-
mountains In spirals , loops nnd grace
ful curves , and crawls through a tun
nel on the summit said to bo a mile
In length. When you emerge you behold -
hold the fun shining on tlio snowy
slopes of Mount Shasta. I stopped at
Montague and bemrded the motor car
that runs up the stub line to Yreka.
When you alight in tills city you pass
I rom the now to the old , back to the
middle of the laHt centuryYreka has
a population of 2,000. This epicer and
quaint old town enves its existence
to the gold excitement of 1849. There
are many interesting and weird stories
told of the accidental discovery of big
mines and It Is n fact , that like other
great discoveries In art , science and
Invention , most of them are found
when least expected. Gold was found
by an ordinary chap named J. J. Poole
in 1849. Mo got a panful of dirt on
Yieka Hats which looked good to him
He pulled up some grass by the roots
and found some nuggets about the
size of buckshot. Th glad tidings
> = rroad on the wings of the wind and
miners by the thousands proceeded
to tear up the ground about Yreka.
Yickn has two weekly newspapers.
We- made a fraternal call on each
and got the glad hand from the "boys"
in both offices. This city Is the coun
ty seat of Sisklyou , a county about
the size of the state of Massachusetts.
The first newspaper established hero
was the Mountain Herald In 1851.
We were shown the files of the pa
per back to that elate. Although yel
low with age It was wonderfully well
printed and there were no typographi
cal errors. The files are bound In
book form which represent a history
of the town , county and state extend
ing over a' period of nearly sixty
years. The Herald was changed to
the Yreka Journal In I860 , and from
1S. > 4 lenialned under the manage
ment of Robert Nixon for nearly fifty-
three years. Mr. Nixon's record can
hardly bo paralleled in the history of
journalism. The subscription price of
the Mountain Herald was $10 a year ,
the price for advertising being cor
respondingly high. The subscription
has been gradually reduced to the
customary rates.
While gold by the million was being
produced in this part of California ,
the Journal was a big , seven column
semi-weekly. Since the gold fields
have been well worked out , It became
again a weekly. Tlio first typo and
press were brought ever the moun
tains on the backs of pack mules , the
freight being fifty cents per pound ,
Some of the largest poster typo that
had been in the office since 1851 was
used last week In the job department
in printing a placard for one of the
candidates for a state office and it is
fairly well preserved. The present
editor of the Journal Is ill with con-
fiumption and was absent. Ills broth-
t-r is In charge during his absence.
The file of this paper is replete with
accounts of the stirring events of the
pioneer days , of Indian uprisings and
massacres , crimes , mobs and doings
of Judge Lynch ; finds and failures
and periods of starvation when the
hungry gold seekers seized and ate
provisions. This county being moun
tainous It was an ideal place for In
dians to hide in and the rodnien were
; hard to catch. For more than twenty
years one Indian war followeel an
other.
In the year 1873 , Captain Jack , chief
of the Modoc Indians , refused to stay
on his reservation. He hiked to the
east part of the county among the
lava beds , n region of volcanic forma
tion , and defied the soldiers to capture -
ture him. Hy this time the Indians
had armed themselves with rifles and
were expert marksmen. General Can-
by and a Methodist minister from
Yreka with an Interpreter met fie
.Modocs under a Hag of truce , In a
cave within Captain Jack's stronghold ,
for the purpose of negotiating terms
of surrender. At a signal from Captain -
tain Jack the party of white men worn
cruelly murdered , General Cnnby being -
ing killed by Jack's own hand In the
most treacherous manner. The remains -
mains of the murdered white men
wore brought to Yreka and laid in
the Masonic hall , where they were
embalmed and shipped cast by stage
lines. Tlio old building where the
bodies laid In state , is now used for n
cafe. Fifty of the dirty Modocs defied -

HOG CHOLERA SERUM A SUCCESS.
Experience at Omaha Leaves no Doubt
of Its Efficacy as a Preventive.
Washington , Oct. 10. Cholera , the
great aceiurgo that has so lemg served
to render the raising of hogs a Imviml-
oils undertaking , has , In the opinion
of exports of the agricultural depart
ment , been conquered. The bureau
of animal Industry of that department
has been getting cumulative evidence
for some time to show how otllcactous
as a preventive of tlio disease is the
scrum , which the bureau has been
testing for several years.
The bureau describes an experiment
at the union stock yards at South
Omaha , In co-operation with the un
ion stock yards company of Omaha. A
similar experiment was conducted at
the Kansas City stock yards in the
summer of 1909. Tlio report on tlio
Omaha experiment says :
"The stock yards company pur
chased , thirty pigs , weighing from for
ty to sixty pounds each , from a farm
which had been free Srom hog cholera
for several years. Those pigs wore
brought to the stock yards , July 23 ,
1910 , and four of them were injected
with blood from hogs sick from hog
cholera. These Inoculated pigs wore
placed In n pen by themselves , and
within five days they had become sick ,
at which time eighteen of the remain
ing pigs were each given one dose of
the serum , while the other eight pigs
were not treated in any way. The
eighteen serum treated pigs and the
eight untreated pigs were then placed
in the same pen with the four pigs
which had been made sick by inocula
tion.
"The four pigs which were first
given hog cholera all died and the
eight untreated pigs all contracted the
disease from them. The eighteen pigs
which were given serum and which
were confined in the same pen with
the four original sick pigs and with
the sick untreated pigs remained per
fectly well and wore finally turned
over to the officials of the stock yards
company upon the completion of the
experiment September 17 , 1910. "
The experiment at Kansas City was
equally successful.
The department of agriculture does
not dibtrihiite this -.orum to farmers ,
but is endeavoring to bring the value
of this method to the attention of the
stock raising interests In order that
thej' may arrange to secure state
funds for the manufacture and distri
bution of the serum.
AMERICANS MOST TACTFUL.
Baron Mitsui Says They Are World's
Best Business Men ,
New York , Oct. 10. Baron Mitsui
one of Japan's big commercial men-
banker , broker , miner , exporter and
importer is staying at the Plaza with
his wife. The baron , after introducing
his wife , astonished his Interviewer
by announcing that ho had been here
on business once before , thirty-seven
years ago. If ever there was a young
looking man it is the baron , from
his quick , light step to his sparkling
eyes and dark , grayless hair.
"Americans , " ho said , "arc the most
tactful , accurate and reliable business
men in the world. I prefer thorn to
eloal with above all others. Thirty-
seven years ago , I was amazed at the
gigantic scale on which business was
carried. But I assure you it was noth
ing compared to what it is now.
"You are keeping pace with the
times , constantly readjusting things ,
improving , growing , perpetually mov
ing along the road of progress. "
HOBBLES FOR THE HAIR , TOO.
Otherwise a Hobble Skirt Makes a
Woman Appear Top Heavy.
New York , Oct. 10. Tlio woman who
wears a "hobble" skirt now must put
"hobbles" on her hair to bo up-to-date.
Instead of the "hobble" skirt dying
out , it is receiving an Impetus from
similar fashions that are being Intro
duced. With the "hobble" skirt the
old style of hair appears funny. It
gives the woman a top heavy appear
ance to have her hair dressed high
with puffs and things , while her skirt
Is drawn around her feet.
"To dress your hair In hobble fashIon -
Ion , " said n hair dresser recently ,
"you take It and part it In the middle.
Then you drape it back from the face
In some soft way , nnd finally you
bunch It at the back In a big mass ,
around which you twist a coil of hair
or a band of ribbon or anything else
that may strike your fancy. This
makes hobble. While a hobble may
aound awkward for the head , It Is
really the most becoming arrange
ment wo have had In years , for It
does away with the top heavy chorus
ulrl pompadour and makes a woman's
head look more nearly ideal. Her
head keeps its shape and the knot at
the back suggests to the uninitiated
that it is merely a method of twisting
up her own hair. "

MRS. ASTOR MET THE KING.
In Scotland the Divorcee Was Pre
sented to British Royalty.
London , Oct. 10. Mrs. Waldorf AH-
tor has met tlio king nnd queen In
Scotland. Her majesty lias taken n
great fancy to the millionaire's wife.
There is a strict law that no woman
who has been divorced by her hus
band or has divorced him shall be ad
mitted to make her bow at the Brit
ish court.
There was an idea that this statute
of court etiquette would bo withdrawn
by King Edward in favor of those of
his subjects who were themselves
blameless. There were a few , like
Mrs. Astor , whom ho would have been
glad to welcome. Ho was advised ,
however , that things bettor had be left
as they were. The action of King
George and Queen Mary has caused a
great flutter In society.
Mrs. Waldorf Astor was the famous
beauty , Nannie Wltchor , Langhorno ,
daughter of Colonel nnd Mrs. Chlswcll
L. Langhorne of Virginia. She is the
third of five Langhorne sisters , one of
whom is Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson ,
the original "Gibson girl. "
At "Mirador , " the Langho.rne home ,
noted throughout Virginia for the roy
al hospitality extended to all its
guests , Robert Gould Shaw of Boston
man led Miss Nannie , October 27 ,
1897. It was a great society event.
In 1902 Mrs. Shaw separated from
her husband and the following year
a decree of absolute divorce was
granted her.
