RESPONSIBILITY FOR WESTERN
FOREST FIRES.
Onct more the newspapers must de
vote space to stories of forest lires
In the northwest. Those tiros now
raging in North Minnesota and the
regions about the Canadian boundary
will probnbly prove more destructive,
In the loss of life and property, than
any that have occurred during the
present early fall or dry season.
The details received during the past
48 hours bring to mind a cartoon pub
lished in the current number of Col
lier's, wherein a devastated area
In the Idaho National reserve is
shown. Underneath that desolate
scene are quoted the words of Senator
Heyburn of Idaho, a Halllnger man,
who made the statement in the Son
ate that forest fires are one of the
house cleaning processes of nature, ami
he declared that he knew ranges
that would be benefited by being
burned over. Heyburn was speaking
then against tho Pirn hot policies.
Those policies contemplated an appro
priation from Congress to "be used in!
building trails through the forests,
providing means of transportation and
a sufficient number of men to patrol
the various reserved boundaries,
which are virtually without protec
tion. Since Heyburn made that speech in
the Senate Idaho has suffered a fear
ful loss through tires. Twenty-live
men lost their lives, caught in a little
clearing. They were struck by a tierce
blast, which the terrible tire Itself
created. The men were caught lie
cause they had to cut their own trails
beyond a point which had been- reach
ed by the imperfectly organized and
short handed forest service of the Na
tional government. Of course th
State government had done nothing
In the way of adopting precautionary
measures. The people directly inter
ested seldom do anything that will In
terfere with the arrangements of .the
big lumber companies, who employ
men and turn some money loose in
the community for a few years, until
it comes time to move on. Mr. Pln
chot holds Heyburn of Idaho, Carter
of Montana and Mondell of Wyom'
responsible, in a large measure, for
these terrible forest fires.
THE POIJTICAIi OUTLOOK.
The New York Herald Syndicate's
first election forecast for 1910 is sum
marized in today's Gazette-News, it
Is the announced purpose to present
these forecasts weekly, giving the re
sults of the kaleidoscopic changes in
the involved game of national politics.
Ia the foreword of the first forecast
the situation is thus concretely pre
sented from the point of view of the
Herald:
Assailed as party has not Iw-cii since
the downfall of the democracy In
"Sixty," the republican party Is in a
crisis. That crisis lies in the effort to
elect a Democratic house of represen
tatives, to make the minority on the
floor an aggregation not of Republi
cans, but of strange political creat
ures, one-third Socialist, one-third
Democratic and one-third Republican,
and to land the leadership of the
party In Theodore Roosevelt.
No such battle for the control of
the House has ever occurred In Amer
ican politics. In some respects the
. struggle Is Homeric.
With no axes to grind, no favors to
seek the Herald will endeavor to find
out Just how the country Is going, al
ways calling a spade a spade.
It Is doubtful If such an extensive
piece of political investigation has ever
before been attempted. It requires
closely following the fortunes of
a three sided war, not only In the
doubtful districts, where the House
will be won or lost, but In the distrcts
reasonably safe where trouble may
arise any day. 1
The Herald staff of political obser
vers has som fame In political prog
nosticationa doubtful and difficult
business. Almost any person at all
versed In politics will see that the
, forecast for North1 Carolina, for In
stance Is In accordance with the prob
abilities. The Herald's Raleigh cor
respondent's figures are more depend
able. As a panoramic view of the whols
congressional field, the forecast Is of
no little Interest, and Its main conclu-
rm urn probably Illuminative of con
n tli c Ms lie today.
iri.l-
and that its policy will be dictated
by a board of censors, comprised of
nine gentlemen residing In different
parts of the Palmetto state. The
editor of that journal Is going to
earn his salary.

I'm editing the Inlook, a helpful

there are no idle hours for the jour

across Wyoming's plain, and as the
bronco gallops I wield my fountain
pen, and write a corking essay to
guide my fellow countrymen. I'm al

gently write; one hand Is on a pencil,
the other on a fork; with one I feed
my stomach, with one I feed New

within a hundred hours, and as I talk
I'm writing sage counsel to.the powers.
I sleep in Pullman coaches, and as 1
sleep I dream the outline of an essay

PltESS COMMENT.
CORDWOOD CONSUMPTION.
Without moralizing at all, the de
partment of agriculture has published
an interesting little bulletin on the use
of cordwood for fuel. It is found that
more than a third of the wood cut In
the United Stab's is burned In the
farm house or In small towns and
cities. We use about twenty billion
cubic feet of timber every year now,
and seven billion in cordwood. Lum
ber and shingles alone account for
more timber cutting than the farm
house and the open fireplace of the
smaller cities. Lumber and shingles
account for nine of the twenty billion
cubic feet. Compared to these two
demands on the timber resources of
the country othr items are small.
Poles, posts and rails take two billion,
hewed crossties Uss than one a half,
and all other Items amount to only
about half a billion cubic feet. The
cordwood burned In the whole coun
try is estimated at 86.flOO.OilO cords,
valued at $250,000,000, or 12.91 a cord.
The farms burn 70.000,000 cords, val
ued at 1182.700.000, or 12.61 a cord
Towns and cities up to 30.000 Inhabi
tants take 12. SI 5.000 cords, valued at
$50,590,009, or $4 01 a cord. The re
mainder, bra than 3,500,000 cords, Is
taken by cities above 30 000 Inhabi
tants and mines, and costs the pur
chasers nearly 117,000.000.
As n cordwood burner Tennessee
has leading place with 4.420,976 cords
a year; North Carolina, with 4, 04S, 460
cords; Alabama, with 4.125,100 cords,
and Georgia, with 4.212,960 nerds, do
not lag Tar behind this state. Arkan
sas. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louis
iana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri,
Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, South Carolina, Texas, Vir
ginia and Wisconsin are also large
users of cordwood. Their share ranges
from nearly 2,000,000 to nearly 4,
000.000 cords a year.
The use of cordwood Is greater In
general south of the: Ohio and east of
the Mississippi rivers. It Is greater
where transportation facilities are
least developed and where woodlets
are ample. It Is greater where open
fireplaces are used Instead of stoves.
The bulletin does not condemn the
use of wood for fuel. It Is admitted
that part of the wood so used is not
well suited for other purposes and
that much of It Is unmarkable because
It is found In scattered woodlets not
very convenient to railways and water
ways. The more rational forestry of
oiaer counties has not done away with
the- demand for firewood. Neverthe
less It is no doubt quite true that great
economies in the use1 of firewood are
possible and desirable. Chattanooga

According to Information received
here this afternoon W. R. Pulllsm, the
Yellow Hill merchant who was so seri
ously Injured In the wreck of passe1
ger train No. IX near Oovernora Is
land Friday, has about an even chance
to live. He sustained a terrible blow
back of the ear, causing paralysis on
one side. Rsv. J. C. Hampton , of
laycavma is believed to be sfely on
i he road to recovery .
it co.,n..r-ti,,n with the wreck an
interesting story is told by Mail Clerk
W. W Uudger. Mr. Gudger would
have been In the wreck of No. 18 just
a week.-.' previous, had he not
been on bis vacation, and Just
completed writing a note to a friend,
congratulating himself that he had es
caped the other wreck, had placed the
letter In a pigeon hole to bo tied up
later with other mail and was in the
act of sitting down to eat lunch when
he felt the wheels of the car strike
the railing. Grabbing for the rod
which goes through the mall car, he
swung himself in the air while the
car went over the embankment. In
thiB way he turned over and over in
the car and was not Jolted about from
side to side. His only injury was a
slight blow on the foot, which evi
dently struck the lamp futures as he
swung over.

Dielz, Desperate Wisconsin Lumber
man, Surrenders After a
Long Siege.
Winter, Wis., Oct. 10. "If papa
comes out will you promise not to
shoot him, he is shot through tho
hand and wants to surrender."
These words, spoken to Sheriff XI ike
Madden, at the edge of the clearing
surrounding the besieged home, by
little Helen, youngest daughter of
John F. Dletz, brought to an end Sat
urday afternoon tho stubborn resist
ance of the man whose stand for the
last six years against what he consid
ered Injustice has attracted a wide
spread interest.
The surrender did not come, how
ever, without death and bloodshed.
One man Is dead, four men and a
woman are wounded, and much prop
erty has been destroyed. The dead
man Is Oscar Harp, 35 years old. dep
uty sheriff; William Rankin, aged 28;
Clarence Dietz and Mary Dietz.
The last two named, children of
John Dtitz, were shot last week by
deputies.
Deputy Sheriff Killed.
Harp was found on a hill behind
the Dietz cabin with a bullet hole in
his bead.
With Tom l'omerlow and Tom Ran
kin deputies he had tried to crawl to
a place of vantage in the lumber piles
near the Dietz barn when a well di
rected bullet caught him. The other
deputies retreated without waiting to
rescue their comrade. Dletz was In
jured while tiring from th- barn when
a bullet went through a crack and
passed through his left band. Dietz
denies thai the wound caused him to
surrender.
To Father Joseph Pilon, the priest
who was largely instrumental In
bringing the long contest to a close,
be whispered that a baby was about to
be born to his wife, and that he feared
that both she and the Infant might
die. The surrender of Dletz was dra
matic. The alert lumbermen leaning
on their rifles at the e jge of the clear
ing and watching the windows of the
log cabin, suddenly saw the flutter of
a white handkerchief at the door.
Then little Helen appeared and. ad
vancing with the cloth above her nead,
walked to the edge of the clearing
where she announced that her father
was willing to surrender.
A short consultation followed be
twten the sheriff and his deputies and
Deputy Heffeltlnger volunteered to go
back with the girl. In the meantime
Father Pilon, in his eagerness to bring
the combat to an end, had started run
ning toward the cabin lie waved a
handkerchief as he ran and unhesitat
ingly entered the door. When Helen
nnd Heffelfinger got half way to the
cabin they me the priest returning.
He did not stop but hurried on to meet
the sheriff.
' Dletz will surrender," the priest
said, "but he wants a doctor to dresc
his wounds."
"I won't trust him," said the sher
iff. "If he wants to surrender let him
come out with his hands over his
head."
Sheriff Madden refused to go to the
cabin and, kept behind a tree. Depu
ties Thornhahn Sully. HerTelflnger and
Dr. 1. O. K. Grafton of Hay ward went
to the cabin, drevsed Dleti's wounds,
handcuffed him and Leslie and
brought them out. Dleti's left hand
was In a sling. He was smiling and
spoke cheerfully to a newspaper man,
20OO Bullets Hml Into Cabin.
In the trim little cabin where Mrs.
Diets still was at work putting the
things In order, broken Jars and dishes
lay scattered on the floor, having been
struck by bullets of which more than
two thousands huu been fired during
the day. Hullets lay on the bed, hav
ing bounced back after striking
against the wall. It was remarkable
that the entire family was not wiped
out.
Although there Is some feeling In
Winter because of the killing of Harp,
the town Is breathing easier now, that
the long suspense Is over and Diets Is
n custody. No disturbance la feared
although Diets has been Involved In a
number of difficulties on which ac
count the ..uthorltles have sought his
arrest, the latest between Diets and
the authorities dates from September
t when Diets shot and seriously
wounded Bert Hall In Winter, W is., In
a wrangle, It Is said, over rent due on
a school house. Hlnce the shooting
Diet: has defied the sheriff to serve a
warrant on him.
