It was the child of an Indian tiuaw wife of a "squaw man" whose name is disputed.

John Ha ley, pioneer stage driver, historian and author, won fame as the proprie tor of the state line from Kelton, Utah, to Umatilla Landing, on the Columbia, in the days when the only law was the steady arm.

That an organization could be effected was not believed certain by many whom the progressive envoys, includ ing Mr. Medlll McCormick of Chicago and Rudolph Spreckles of San Fran cisco, consulted a few months ago when- they first came here; but if this is a lcadcrless party It is evident that It Is a pretty well backed move ment t nevertheless. These men are restive; they are Insurgent and they mean to carry their insurgency into primaries and nominating conventions during the coming year. "What they can effect In Mas sachusetts Is the question. They aro first going to try to put through a presidential primary and to assist Governor Foss, democratic, in those features of his progressive program which they believe in. They will prob ably exert themselves to secure the nomination of members to congress who are more to their way of think ing, and they man continue their fight for members of the legislature who are republicans and yet pledged against the bosses."

For the Progressive Re publicans invaded New England, making their first demonstration in that stronghold of conservation, Bos ton. As a result of this Invasion, the New England papers are full of com ment upon recent events. This com ment is not unmixed with confusion because hitherto progresslveness. and Insurgency have been mere names to w England and when tho pheno menon appeared close at hand she did not know what to make of it.
