STATUE TO \ HEROINE.
INDIAN WoMAN's SERVICES TO
LEWIS AND CLARK HoNoRED. .
Bronze Memorial Erected at Portland
Fair to One Who Made Expedt- I
ton Of Famous Northwest ~
ern Explorers Success. '~,' u

Portland, Ore.-It was to the rare
services of Sacagawea, India guide.
interpreter, friend and heroine, that
the Lewis and Clark expedition
through the Northwest territory owed
it's final success. And in honor Of this
courageous woman q heroic bronze
statue stands in Columbia Court, at the
fair now being held in this city, In
commemoration OF the one hundredth
anniversary of the opening up of the
northwestern country.
Sacagawea's story of bravery, loyal
ty and courage, of suffering and slaV-
cry, prompted the women of Oregon
to organize q statue association in Or
der to raise sum to perpetuate the
name and romance of this Indian
woman. The statue, which cost $1,000,
was modelled by Miss Alice Cooper, OF
Denver, and is made of Oregon bronze.
The figure represents 1.-the Sho-
shone Indian woman with her head
thrown back, her face full of deter
mination and power, eyes keen and
daring, one arm uplifted and pointing
to the sea beyond, to which she alone,
of all the party, knew the way. SAGA
gawea wears a short hunting skirt
fringed on the bottom, soft deerskin
moccasins and leggings and a buffalo
skin fastened over her shoulders, with
her pappoose, born on the journey
westward, strapped to'her back.
A beaded girdle, the same probably
which she presented to Capt. Clark
marks her slender girlish waist. Her
whole figure expresses life, buoyancy
animation, youth and confidence.
Young though she was, this rare In
dian heroine had had a none too happy
existence. She was one of the three
wives of French Canadian voyageur
Toussant Charbonneau, who acted as

NEWS, OF MINNESOTA.
Col. Colvill Dies.

Col. William Colvill Of Red Wing, .
veteran Of tho Civil war, and . man
whose proud record ~ soldier has
made him honored throughout the
Northwest, died suddenly Ut the
Soldiers home of heart failure.
Col Colvill was conspicuous In the
preliminary arrangements for the re-
union of the old First Minnesota,
which took place the 18th, and As his
was one of the brightest names in
that noble band, he was being extend
ed every courtesy by his old compan-
ions in arms
With a number of them, Col. Colviu
spent the evening talking over the pre-
parations for the reunion. particularly
the removal of the flags from the old
capitol to the new, which made an
elaborate feature of the Firsts' re-
union.
He retired at 10 o'clock, apparently
in the best of health. Early next
morning he was found dead in his bed.
Col. Colvill was IS years old, and
had been in first rate health His
death cast gloom over the festivities
in connection with the reunion, as
Col. Colvlll has always been a moving
spirit on such occasions BE was alone
in the world, so far as family ties are
concerned, and only his old friends,
who are mum ered by the thousand
throughout Minnesota, will mourn his

interpreter for the band of explorers.
Though she belonged to the Shoshone
tribe, she had been captured by their
enemies, the Blackfeet,. and sold by
them to Charbonneau. When the ex-
ploring party were leaving Mandan it
was decided to dispense with the "serv-
ices of the French interpreter, and he
would have been left behind If it had
not been for Sacagawea, who knew the
roads and country better than any one
else.
The Indian woman won the conf
dence and respect of both the leaders
of the expedition; and she stood SO well
in their opinion that she was allowed,
nay entreated, to ride in advance of
the rest Of the party. She became the
close friend of both Capt. Clark and
Capt. Lewis, both of whom admired
her strength and nobility and her
splendid forbearance, for Charbonneau
was not always kind to his spouse.
Sacagawea performed all sorts of
drudgery, after the manner of her
kind, and the journey up the swift Mis-
souri, was one of hardship and toll.
Once the canoe in which she, her hus-
band and the babe" rode upset in mid
stream. Charbonneau saved himself
and left his wife to rescue the babe,
which she did, after securing some i'm
portant papers slowed away in the
canoe.
When Lewis and Clark retraced
their steps from the Pacific coast SAGA
gawea was included in the party; for
even then the explorers did not feel
confident of finding their way through
forests and wilds. But for the Indian
woman Capt. Clark might never have
emerged from Ross Hole, in which he
and his band found themselves. And
again later Sacagawea was called upon
to lead the mover the Bozeman Pass
into the Yellowstone. She knew every
rock and tree of this unexplored coun-
try. Its hills and streams had been
familiar to her since early childhood;
when she had been brought over the
same route by her father and his In
dian braves. =.
d. When the party 1ntrusted to the
guidance of Sacagawea reached the
land of the Blackfeet Charbonneau de-
cided to remain there with his wives,
so Sacagawea babe her companions
good-by, never to- behold them again.
History tells how she took up the du-
ties of an Indian slave wife again, and
ia a few years grew old and ill, having,
been forgotten by the little world of
men who owed SO much to her. The
only honor bestowed upon her during
the journey was the naming of river
for her, but Sacagawea was. soon
changed to q shorter and less musical
word. $50 =.
The only recognition since that time,
except a poem or. two, is the bronze
statue which is said to be tSe first ever
erected to an Indian woman. After the
close of the fair the statue will be
placed in a conspicuous spot in one Of
Portla2d's beautiful parks. 1

CANAnA'S HANDS FLED
ALIEN DEPORTATION xAW Is A
MERE SHA1
Court Decision Declares Parliament

vision Weapon Against

Toronto. Ont.--The alien labor act Of
Canada is ultra wires. The Canadian
parliament has no power to decree de-
portation of aliens. and the law which
was passed purporting to give power of
deportation to the attorney general is an
empty and hollow sham. Ina judgment

AS a result. F.. e. Cain and James X.

officials, whose arrest and proposed de-
portation brought testing of the act,
may remain in Canada and continue at
their posts:
The ground OF the decision is that
he Carrying out of the law involves
IN exercise of eXtra-territorial juris-
liction which Canada does not pos
sess. "A power not consistent with
the conditions Of a dependency" Judge
Anglin calls it,: Nothing but a sover-
eign power could pass such law,
consequently aliens can be deported
only by order Of imperial parliament.
Giving full effect to the argument
OF counscf for the government that If
at all possible the statute should re-
ceive a construction consistent with
jurisdiction and not desiring to attrib-
ute to colonial legislation an effort to
enlarge their jurisdiction to such an
extent as would be inconsistent with
the powers committed to colony"
