"a fine morning we commenced wrighting &c"
The important events chronicled in this install

Ritter Root Mountains in June. 1906; Clarks
independent exploration of the Yellowstone
in July and Lewiss contemporaneous short

of Maria's River. 1t during this time that
the expedition had a lively encounter with the
red men, when Captain Lewis and a small
detachment met a party of eight Minatarees

action frustrated their attempt. and two
Of the Indians were killed. The others
made off with some Of Lewiss horses but left
more Of their own behind, together with all their
provisions and packs. The white came off
scathless, but not long afterwaId Lewis was &C

largely efTectual in winning the good will of the
Indians after their store of merchandise for
trading had been exhausted.

one of the speeches seconding the pom
nation of Mrs. Sternberg, the "Wash

general Of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. The managers Of Mrs.
Mclean, however, declare that all the
other delegates from Minnesota will
vote for the New Yorker. ="
The results Of the election, which is
being held today, will probably not be
early tomorrow morning. Indications
are that Mrs. Mclean will lead on the
first ballot, with Mrs. Sternberg second,
and Mrs. Lippett third. ..... -
According to an agreement made be-
tween the two last named, the one re-
ceiving the smallest vote will withdraw,
and try to throw her strength to the
other, but Mrs. Mclean s friends have
been working all the week to secure
promises from the friends of Mrs. Lip
petit that they will vote for the New
York candidate when the Rhode Island
one withdraws. ~ ,<:,:5 tszssr.#.=
The, excitement among the delegates
attending the congress is intense. Old
members Of the society say there never
has been a gathering of the, D. A. R. at

be another like it,.
