SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF C. L. sHoLEs, THE
FOUNDER OF THIS PAPER.
Born in MoOresburg, Columbia county,
Pa, February ii, 1919, his parents soon
moved to the county seat, DanVille, where
he remained until his emigration west.
Having completed his apprenticeship
to the printing business, in April,
1887, he started for the far west,
his objective point being Green Bay, Wis.
He arrived there after various detentions,
about May 1st Two brothers had pre-
coded him. and one was in control of the
paper then published at Green Bay. Into
this he at once entered and became intro
duced into the politics OF the territory OF
Wisconsin, in which politics, through
territory and state, he always took an
active interest and part, until ill-health
drove him from the field. In this way his
acquaintance became UNIVERSAL through
out the territory For a portion of the
time. although a mere lad, he was left in
entire charge of the editorial columns. In
the spring of 1889 he went from Green
BAY to Madison, and was in charge for a
time during the absence of its editor, OF
the Wisconsin Enquirer. He returned to
Green Bay in January, 194O and then
moved to Southport, now Kenosha, where
he established the Southport Telegraph,
with NJ Frank as associate editor.
! At that time, there being no par
ticular metropolis in the state, pa
pers wherever located, had an in
fuence, and no paper in the state probably
was more quoted or had more influence
than the Southport Telegraph, chiefly from
the liberality Of it's editor, and his dispo-
sitiOn to espouse whatever seemed to
promise any public good. He was noted
as a land reformer, woman suffrage adj
|
at that time to better the condition of the
masses.
In 1914 he was appointed by Polk post
master of the village of Southport.
When the State Constitution was formed,
which occurred in the early part of 1913,
he was nominated for the state senate
against the opposition Of the 'Hunkers, .
and through the activity of the ''Barn-bur-
ners," although there was no distinctive
split at that time in the party. The cleo
ton occurred in May, 1913, and he was
elected without serious opposition, to the
first senate of the state, which convened
soon after. During the summer legislative
session of 1913 he was the only pro-
nounced Free SOiler in either body. He
stood entirely alone-That party he never
deserted through all its phases, until the
attempt to drive Johnson from the repub-
lican party, he approving in the main of
the policy of Johnson.
During Mr. Sholes residence in Kenosha
county he was elected in 1928 to the
assembly, one year being elected speaker
pro tenn. of the body. In the years 1856
81 he was a member of the senate from

seven years In 1872 he became one Of
the editors Of the N0rthtceSteJH Chri$ti0n
Adr0f ate the chief Methodist paper in the
west This position he held for fifteen
years In 1886 his health failed, when he
was obliged to retire from active life. 1t
may be mentioned Of the true christian
liberal lity of Mr. Stone. while he was always
a pro bounced Baptist, the fact Of his being
employed fifteen years an editor Of lead
ing hper of the Methodist denomination,
with entire satisfaction.

JAMES DENsMORE.
Mr. DensmOre was a writer Of the i'm
puIsi ne kind: out-spolen, did not study
policy and not over anxious to please all,
but believed it quite as profitable there
should be some friction in the opinions Of
people as all harmony He commenced
the publication of the D0iy IelegrUph,
but q calculated too largely on the town for

He never wrote a long editorial, but was

to make himself understood. He eXer-
cised more disbelief and less belief in the
currd Int news of the day than most men i'll
the editorial profession; but with all of
his beculiaritieS he did not make news

hone st, and probably never knowingly
wrO1ged any one. His life was brought
to sudden termination. In crossing an
icy, hard-froZen street, going to his board
ing house, he slipped and fell, receiving
an il hurry from which he died. He left

this county, one year being president pro
tenn.
He removed to Milwaukee in 1853,
where he was associated with the Demo-
crdt office, remaining with it until
it's final extinction. In 1861 he was
appointed deputy collector Of customs
under Collector Edwin Palmer, and at the
same time took charge of the Sentinel as
it's chief editor. In year or two Mr..
Palmer dying, Mr. Sholes was appointed
collector lin 1863 which place he held
until the accession of Grant. Mr.. ShOleS
had been previously appointed postmaster
at Milwaukee, in which capacity however,
he never acted, his appointment and com
mission as collector being received before
the duties as postmaster could be assumed.
In very brief time after his removal
from the custom house he was appointed
a member of the board of public works OF
Milwaukee, a body then just organized,
which position he held four years, during
which time he was for two years mem
Der of the school board, and one year it's
president. After four years service on the
board of public works he was superseded
in office, but three years thereafter was
reappointed to the same position which he
held until i'll health compelled him to
abandon it.
INVENTION OF THE TYPEWRITER.
Mr.. Sholes was best known to the world
as the inventor of the Remington type
writer-the first really successful type
writer His machine has almost revolu-
tionized one department of business work,
and has become a necessity in every instl-
tuition where writing is done.
1t was while he was collector of customs
for the port of Milwaukee that Mr. Sholes
became interested in the efforts to perfect
a typewriting machine. AS the result of
Mr.. Sholes' inventive genius the first
crude machine was completed in 1878.
Later he invented, several important i'm
provements.

though confined to his bed, Mr. ShOles
invented two new machines for typewrit-

was more satisfactory to him than any Of
his previous inventions.

THE HEART OF THE ALLEGANIES
Writing of recent trip across the
mountains of West Virginia a gifted
journalist says:
"Twilight on the grade IS grand. The
mountain SUBMITS look like the bushy
tops of trees. The sun has disappeared
in ball of fire at his jumping off place"
but the vivid lighting of the western sky
by the still upturned illumining face be-
ow the horizon is III marked contrast to
the gathering shades behind the rushing
train. From shelf to shelf, from crag to
crag. from brink to brink, we almost fly.
Like a flashing transformation, rendering
almost past belief the fact that the scene
is i'll the midst Of the Alleghanies, comes
bit of landscape gardening with all the
beauties of walks and hedges and bright
hued flowers, a mountain brooklet tumb-
ling through the centre-Ruckhorn Wall,
the most noted and most admired view
that can be had from any known point
in the Allegheny range. To enable the
road to span the tremendous gorges, a
MASSIVE wall ofeut stone was erected for
distance Of several hundred feet, and
more than hundred feet above the foun-
dation rock. AS the river makes an alb
rupt turn at right angles, deep canyon
is opened uptor miles. Range after range
of mountains disappear behind each 9th,
