TARDY HONOR FOR
INDIAN HEROINE
Sacajawea to Have Monument
at Portland Fair
LED WAY TO THE PACIFIC
She Was the Courageous Indian Girl
Who Acted AS Guide for Lewis
and Clark on Their
Expedition.
LED WAY TO THE PACIFIC

The Lewis and Clark Centennial, at
Portland, Oregon, which is to be held in
celebration of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the expedition of Captains Lewis
and Clark to the Pacific coast in 1905, will
bring into prominence the achievements
of a heroine who has been too long ne
elected. A heroic statue of Sacajawea, the
heroine of the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton, to cost $1,000, is to be placed in the
central court of the exposition. An as
ISOLATION known as the Sacajawea Statue
association, has the matter in charge,
and prominent western women OF
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Utah and Colorado
are interested in the undertaking. Mrs.
Eva Emery Dye, author of 1.-THE Con-
quest" is president of the association.
Sacajawea, or Tsakakawea, as some au-
thorities write her NAME was the Bird
woman who guided Lewis and Clark
across the mountains and who on sew
eral occasions aided the explorers when
all hope of ever seeing the ocean seemed
lost Next to Jefferson who sent them,
it is Sacajawea who guided them, who
deserves to be eulogized with Lewis and
Clark.
The story of Sacajawea forms ro-
nance of enthralling interest. -lere was
the patient, untiring, faithful heroism,
that must appeal to most people as the
truest type. Sacajawea belonged to the
Shoshine or Snake Indians. When
child even years old, she was taken cap
tive by the enemies of her tribes, the
Minnetarees, or Blackfeet, and at the age
of fifteen she was sold as slave to
French voyaseur, named Chabonneau. To
this Frenehman described nowhere as
anything but common, q man of no Gull
ture or inmate refinement, the Indian girl
was a faithful wife 1t was in the spring
of 1906 when the Lewis and Clark
expedition was about to start west
ward, after spending the winter among
the Shoshones, that Sacajawea, then the
mother CT a babe but two months old, be-
came a part of the expedition; and from
that time on tie part this eighteen-year-
old girl played was of no small impor-
lance Her degenerate husband was taken
along to act as Interpreter.

on Commerce street last night. The loss
will be about $4,000. The insurance is
not up to the loss, but it will be pretty
well covered. The fire was in what Is

was burned out some time ago at another

President Spencer,s Proud Report.


Samuel Spencer, head of the
Southern Railway system, has re-
cently returned to New York from
an extended trip through the South
aud mlkos Il report that is agrees
able to read. His trip, he says,
"Carr:ed him over most Of the lines
of tho Southern, and evidences Of
prop rlty Wore general. The $GG0.-
100000, according to estimates,
which the cotton crop has brought
to the South this yoar, is Of course
one OF the greatest factors in 'he
excellent situation But it il not
the only fuctor, because with the
possible exception Of iron manu-.
featuring, which is dull there as
elsewhere, practically all the IN
dustries Of the South are in n real,
ly nourlshing 'c6&hdiion." 0f'hls
further observations, he says.
"The cotton crop has brought a
great deal of money into the South
which was unexpected, perhaps,
and everywhere the banks Lave
moro money on hand than they
can tind good use for. If yon take
the cIearings of banks the country
over you Will find, perhaps, de.
crcasrs in other sections, but i'm
the South the cieariugs are greater
than ever, and this is n sign of the
times with them i"
What Mr.. Spencer regards as
tho best thing Of all about the
prosperity in the South is that it
bears no resemblance to the forced
or "boom" prosperity, "The
south, " be observes, 'was rather
behind the rest Of the country for
some years and did not participate
in tie remarkable, bat perhaps too
rapid development noted elsewhere,
It's present prosperity Is Of the
steady, natural and we'll grounded
