Sketch Of Life.
John A. Johnson. one of the most
unique figures in the nations politics
has had a most remarkable career and
his wonderful achievements show the
possibilities OF the American youth.
He was Of Swedish parentage and
vas born in ST. Peter. MINI. in 1861.
He attended the public schools for
4 while. but the poverty Of his parents
compelled him To go to work. and he
secured work in a printing Office. His
iatheT became an tnebriate. and H.
order TO support the family the mother
was forced TO do washing for her
reighbOrs. as the boys wages were
quite small.
Full OF pluck and ambition. young
Johnson determined to make his mark
in the world. and by industry he &C.
quired an interest In The ST. Peter
Herald and became editor Of that pa.
per In 1894 he was sent to the Min.
nesota State Senate as a Democrat,
and his record there stamped him as
man OF wonderful native ability.
In 1904 he was elected Governor OF
Minnesota. in spite of the fact that
the State was overwhelmingly Repub-
lican. In 1906 he was reelected. and
again was called TO this honor In
1905 As a reformer he stood among
the most prominent in the country.
and was strongly supported for the
Democratic nomination for President
in the campaign of last year.
His position on all Governmental
propositions stamped him readily a.
a statesman. and in his death ne
country sustains a serious loss.

VIII Pine Water 100 Miles.

Ranchers owning $50, 600 acres Of land
in the Crab Creek district, Grant county,
Wash, southwest of Spokane, are back
ing project to pipe water from the Col
umbia river, near Marcus, Stevens coun-
V, Washington, TO point more than 100
miles south, at cost OF 100000, thus
providing one OF the mostextensive gray
ity systems for irrigating in the world.
The land to be supplied with moisture
by artificial means is in the heart OF the
sage-brush country in Eastern Washing
ton, and will be devoted to fruit and veg
etables as soon as it can be made ready
for crops. The reclaimed area will pro-
vide homes for $4,000 TO 100000 men,
women and children when it is cut up into
tive, ten and twenty acre tracts.
The farmers in the district have levied
an assessment of 2 ID cents an acre, to
provide a fund TO make preliminary
survey, and J. NJ. Spencer OF Plains,
Mont, owner of several thousand acres
of land, who is actively identified with
the project, believes the plan OF carrying
water from the Columbia river TO the arid
district by mears Of pipes can be worked
out successfully.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A plentiful supply OF buttermllk was
all that saved the little town OF Patch
| Grove, Wis, from destruction when the
plant of the A. r. Habbermon Creamery
Company was destroyed by fire. When
the 5O0-odd people Of the town saw the
plant could not be saved they set all their
efforts on saving the home OF Wesley
Garlach adjoining A bucket brigade
was formed and with buttermik secured
from the creamery this building was saved.
Had the fire communicated to the Garlach
residence the rest of the town would
have gone.

After more than two years experience
OF no saloons in Charlottesville, Va, the

Two years ago Charlottesville entered up

luctance and in the face OF predictions OF
dire disaster in municipal business and
local affairs. The present election seems
to show a distinct balance in favor OF
continuing the "dry" rule.
