The Madison Correspondent of the
Milwaukee Daily News has the follow
ing about what will be Senator La
Follette's attitude toward the many
candidates for the nomination and
election of q. S. senator to succeed
Isaac Stephenson: Practically def
mite information has been dropped
during the conferences of LaFollette
followers here this week that Senator
LaFollette will take no open hand in
the United States senatorial contest
and that publicly, at least, he will
make no selection IS to his choice be-
tween the candidates. Men who have
talked with LaFollette during the
last three days say that his statement
on the subject will be practically in
the form that he will take no part in
the primary campaign and that any
activity politically which he viii! show
in the state will be after the state
nominations for all offices are made.
1t is said he will then probably make
a few speeches in the state in support
of the republican national ticket and
incidentally say something on the sub
ject of the nominations which have
been made by the republican party for
the legislature.

MORE EARLY DAY
"REMINISCENCES
As Reviewed by Joseph Whitney,
who Came Here in 1850---58
Years dOO.

In an interview with Joseph Whit
ney on Monday we cleaned the follow
ing data from him when he came to
Grand Rapids in 1850, So years ago.
Joseph Whitney came from the
state of Pennsylvania in an early day
to Wisconsin and stopped at Madison.
In company with Lawyer Pinney they
left Madison on foot and came across
the country to Portage then New
Lisbon and up the Wisconsin river to
Grand Rapids. He arrived here in the
fall of 1850 and found saw mill at
Whitney Rapids, now Nekoosa, one
at Hurleytown, now the south side,
and one owned by George Neeves in
this city located near William S island,
one on the west bank of the river
where the Consolidated paper mill
now stands, one on the east side owned
by Henry Rablin & Clinton located
where the Pioneer Pulp mill now
stands and one at Biron owned by
Francis Biron. These saw mills were
the only industries here and they
were on very small scale. The only
hotel or stopping place was large log
house owned and conducted by Mr.,
and Mrs. Geo. a. NeeVes located about
where Boyce's Marble Works building
now stands. In about 1854, the Wis
consin House was erected along side
of the log house for many years there
after. The only general merchandise
store was owned and conducted by
Euzebe LaVigne and located where the
old First National bank building now
stands. He thinks there were three
saloons here at that time and he says
it was customary for all men to drink
freely and sometimes they were pretty
boisterous. The population in those
days were largely Canadian, French
men. half-breeds and Indians. They
followed numbering, working in the
saw mills and in the woods. Running |
lumber down the Wisconsin river into |
the Mississippi to St. Louis and other |
southern markets, was all the go. |
Among the first trips Mr. Whitney
made down the river to market there |
were no bridges on either the Wiscon-
sinor Mississippi rivers. The first |
bridge was erected across the Missis-
sippi at Rock Island. but Mr.. Whit
ney does not recall the year.
