La Fol lette are: That he Is a reformer who has figured In Wisconsin for a num ber of years; that he has been gov ernor of that state and Is now a member of the U. S. senate; that he lives on nuts and vegetables Instead of meat and potatoes; that he does the Chautauqua circuit profitably dur ing the summer time; that the rail roads hate him that members of the United States senate are not fond of him that he makes a good speech; that he Is opposed to the vested In terests und that all railroad men think he wears hoofs and horns. He has been In polltcal life for 2 years, during which time he served three consecutive terms In the lower branch of congress, and throe times as governor. Ho was defeated for reelection to the house In 1890, and that year marked the beginning of his remarkable struggle against the domination of railroad and other cor porations in the politics of Wiscon sin. At the end of 10 years' effort he became governor of the state. The experiences of those 10 years were vailed. Thev Included house .to house campaigning, many defeats, patronage bribes and even offers of money by corporations Interested In eettine him out of their way. In one Instance, It is alleged, the nomina tion for governor was stolen from him by the purchase of delegates. But at length his strength with the people became so overwhelming that he was nominated and elected. Surwtwful Reformer. During his service as governor, La Follette was so successful In his prop aganda of refrnm that an honest ma jority was secured In the legislature and laws were enacted compelling the valuation of railroads and other iuaxl-public corporate property and revising the taxes of these corpora tions so that they have been compell ed to pay more nearly their Just pro portion. A primary electon law for senatorial and other nomlnatons was passed. A good law was secured cov ering the grant of street railway franchises to municipal corporations In the state and permitting a vote by the people on all such Important privileges. Havng cleaned house In his own state. La Follette decided to enter a broader field, and In 1905 he was elerted to the United States senate to succeed Joseph B. Quarles, and took his seat January 4. 1906. That Ln Follette would be Ineffec tual as a member of the United States senate was the prediction made freely by his numerous enemies. The powerful Interests which he had an tagonized In his own state feared and resented his presence In the United States senate. He has disappointed his enemies. no less than he has pleased his friends. Those who believed that he would be content to make a noise and let It go at that have found that they were mistaken. Others who thought that he would render himself usclesr by 111-iylvlsed personal attacks or un dignified conduct have found they were equally In error. On the other hand, the smooth, diplomatic gen tlemen who run the senate have found It Imposihle to move La Follette from his regular course of action by soft speech, promises' or hopes of any kind of reward. Neither officer, nor ten. dercd appointments on Important commutes, nor pleasant social rela tions have been cfectual In swerving La Follette from the course he has mapped out. An Important Minority. Senator La Follette has constituted himself a very Important minority oi one. In this capacity he objects to bad legislation and uses his objections to secure what Is possible of good legislation, and the fact that the sen ate does business practically by unan Imous consent, has made La Follettc's legislative Independence a potent fac tor in the law making power. The best speech on the administra tion's railroad rate law was that do livered by Senator La Follette. He Is responsible for more amendments to that law as it now stands on the books than any single member of the senate. His long fight with the railroads in Wisconsin had given him a wonderful preparation to deal with this subject Intelligently and forcefully. President Roosevelt ac knowledged the assistance rendered by La Follette In his fight, and sev eral of the latter's amendments were adopted by the administration before they were presented ln the senate, Senator La Follette was a pioneer In the work of saving the public util ities. In the fifty-ninth congress he exposed an effort by the Standard Oil company to acquire the oil and mineral lands ln the then territory of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. He prepared, but was unable to se cure the passage of an excellent law to protect the rights of the govern ment, and thus of the people, in coal and mineral lands which still are part of the public domain. He aided the passage of the meat Inspection law, the pure food law, the employ ers' liability law, and practically all the good legislation enacted In the fifty-ninth congress. In the sixtieth congress La Follette single handed defeated the original Aldrlch currency bill. He held that the bill was Intended primarily to create a market for railroad securi ties which had been corralled by Rockefeller, Morgan,' Ryan and a few other New York capitalists, and at Senator La Toilette's demand thv socalled "railway bond feature" of the Aldrlch bill was stricken out. A record of this character had its natural effect In drawing upon the head of La Follette the bitter enmity of nine-tenths of the members of the senate. He found himself the object of a conspiracy fostered by the "Old Guard," the object of which was to "segrtgate" him. The leaders of the senate apparently agreed to speak to him once during the day, but other wise to Ignore his presence as a mem ber of that body. This has, however, made no difference to the Wisconsin senator, who has gone on with his self-appointed task of being a thorn in the side of those who he believes represent the vested Interests. mori: RECLAMATION IN SOUTHERN IDAHO Water from Portneuf River to Irri gate 20,000 of Fertile Acres Near PueuU'llo. The reclamation of 20,000 acres lh Bannock county recently released from a tract of 150,000 acres which the reclamation service propose to Ir rigate on account of the fact that this portion of the tract was too high, has been undertaken by the Portneuf Marsh Valley Irrigation company, a contract having, been signed up with the state land board, says the Capi tal News. Application for the segregation of the tract has been made by the state land board to the department of the Interior upon the petition of the of ficlals of the company. It Is expect ed that an opening of the new tract will be held some time In September or possibly August, when It Is stated that a stipulation will be made that no entryman will be allowed to file on more than 80 acres. If this stipu lation Is made and enforced It will bo the first time such a restriction has been made In this state. The tract which will be irrigated lies In the valley throng which the Oregon Short Line right of wy pass es, about 40 miles of Pocatello, the tract paralleling the railroad right of way for about 12 miles. Three towns will lip lnp:ito,l ' In thn irmt tin tht. ! railroad, the principal one of these 1 4 Downey, near McCammon. The town Is being platted and It Is plan ned to hold a sale of town lots this fall. The main body of the tract to be reclaimed Is located about 40 miles from Pocatello and only a few miles to the south and west of McCammon. The other towns which will be estab lished In the tract are Virginia and Marsh Valley. Tlie snurcre of water supply for the tract Is the Portneuf river. A reservoir Is to be constructed near Chesterfield to cover 1090 acres and to have an average depth of 25 feet. The water of the river will be con served at this point and conducted down the river to a point about four miles.

The "Letters of Junius." The vexed question of the real au thorship of the ''Letters of Junius" bus never been positively settled. Mr. Chn bot's learned work to show that Sir Philip Francis was the author of the famous letters, while a strong produc tion, falls of absolute proof. The at tempt was made to prove tbnt Thomas Palno wrote the letters, but that, too, failed to convince. The question Is still u mystery, though the balance of the evidence is lb favor of Sir Philip Francis. Dad Gets Sarcastic. "Physical culture, father, Is perfect ly lovely.
