MISS ALICE COOPER'S
 STATUE OF SACAJAWEA

When preparations began for the Lewis and Clark exposition at Port land the women of Oregon decided that its exhibits should include satue of the noble woman who guided the ex- plorers through the unknown region across the Rockies westward to the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean and back again to safety and civilization She was not a white woman, how ever, bud red Shoshone squaw and a slave. Sacajawea, the Bird Woman.
 The exposition authorities agreed to make a special occasion of the unvail- ing of the statue, the day to be called oacajawea day. June was the date fixed. It is the first time in the his- tory of words expositions that a wo- man has thus been honored
 The Oregon women organized the Sacajawea Statue Association and collected s7,0o0 to make a bronze figure. heroic size, of the Bird Woman.
 It was only fitting, of course, that the artist who modelled the monu- ment should be a woman. Bids for the work were opened among women sculptors, and the commission was given to Miss Alice Coper young Denver woman. Miss Cooper has mod eled in clay from her childhood. She received instruction at first at home -N- Chicago under Lorado Taft.
 One of Miss Cooper's best known art works is the statue of cowboy, modelled from life. The cowboy sits upon a broncho. Another piece which has attracted attention is The Frog. :" The work of the girl sculptor is char acterized by strength and power, qualities which show in marked de- gree in the figure of Sacajawae. After the exposition the statue will be placed permanently in one of the Portland parks.
 As was fitting again, Miss Cooper has idealized the heroic women. It is almost certain that poor Sacajawea was only a short squat squaw, look ing timidly out of the side Of her eye, with a gait awkward and clumsy From carrying burdens, stiff black hair that scarcely had the acquaintance with a comb and a face wrinkled and old before it's time from toll and ex- posture to weather: But Miss Cooper has depicted the Indian woman with a nobility that shows us what she was, not what she looked like to the super

down the Columbia River and reached the Pacific coast after toll and hard ship November T. There the white men did some trading apparently. Sacajawaa had a blue mead girdle which she prized as a lady of fashion prizes a rope of pearls. Captain Lewis begged thls girdlc away from her and sold 1t to buy himself d sea otter skin. At one time 1t is recorded that in a time of great privation for want of food Sacajawea. had saved one piece of bread for her baby. Captain Lewis, however. became faint from hunger, and Sacajawea actually brought the bread she had saved for her baby and gave 1t to him, and he took it.
 On the long. terrible trail home ward several times the party were lost and came near per1shing, but each time the woodland instinct of the young Indian woman guided them alright and put them on the trail again. At the journeys end Lewis and Clark gave the cowardly Chahonneau $500 for his services, but not dime not a cent, not even a word of thanks. was there for poor Sacaiawea-

BEST STORIES OF THE WEEK.
When Justice Lamar Made Taft Have
 Faith In Himself


 Secretary Taft has always been an enthusiastic admirer of the late Justice Lamar. of Mississippi. Mir. Taft was Assistant Attorney General when Justice Lamar was on the United States Supreme Bench. The first time the big Ohio man appeared before that august tribunal he stumbled through small duty just as the judges were about to retire. He was much em- barrassed and felt that he had not ap- peared at all to advantage. As he was about to hurry away Justice Lamar came over, threw arm over his shoulder and said In kindly tones: It's all right. my boy. Don't you be afraid of those old fellows on the Bench. They won't bite you. Even if they wanted to their teeth are too old and worn to do much damage. If you but knew it. yours are twice as sharp" The Secretary In telling of this incident says: From that day to this I have never ceased to thank the lovable Mis- sissippiaR for making me have faith in myself"

CURED BY CUTICURA
One Application Soothed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy
 and Permanent.

"When my little boy was three months old his head broke out with rash, which was very itchy and ran considerable watery fluid. We tried everything we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body, and he came near dying. It itched so he would scratch till the blood ran, and thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. l had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin.- He got so weak he took fainting spells and we would think him dying. He was almost skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their mothers milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food they use while nursing their babies. The experience of a Kan sas City mother is a case in point:
 "I was a great coffee drinker from a child. and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But l found at last it was doing me harm For years I had been troubled with dizziness. spots before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added, two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 2 months ago, and almost from the beginning it, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me.
 "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk, have since ascer- tained that it really dries up the milk.
 "So, I quit coffee and tried tea and at last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Golf fee with the happiest results. It prov ed to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, .but it increased the flow of my milk My husband then quit cof- fee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, blind spells, pain in my heart or sour stomach. Postum has cured them.
 ! Now we all drink POstum from my husband to my seven months old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give | up Postum for the best coffee we ever ! drank" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

REALTY TRANSACTIONS
Three Properties That Have Recently
 Changed Hands.

Three realty sales have been con- sumated through the agency of Allen & Wilson, one being a ranch property and the other two BrilIs addition holdings. One :s lot in block Of BrilIs addition, J. Garth being the seller and the consideration being $4OO. The seller was 9 non resident. F. G. Dismuks of Austin, Texas. MT. Garth came here recently from Iowa.
 The other sale in BriIl's addition was that of the Javins place on Twelfth street. It consists of lot and a good five room house with plenty of shade, etc. The consideration was $110O. The buyer was J. M. Garner an employe of the Doris Heyman Co
 The third transaction referred to was a forty acre ranch in the north west quarter of section 27, N. E., about am ile and a half east of the Indian school. The property lies in one of the choicest parts of the valley fo9. a ranch home which it is announced the buyer. expects to make of it. There is no house on the property but it is understood one will be built at an early day. The seller was the Maricopa Loan and Trust Co, and the buyer is J. D. Pmgree. That Phoenix is beginning to draw some" is evidenced by the fact that MT. Pingree came here from Central America, which is some dis tance away when one stops to consider the poor transportation facilities be- tween here and there. The selling price of this ranch was $1600 or forty dollars per acre.

THE HOBBS MURDER CASE
The Hearing on the Warrant Set For
 Next Friday.

There were no additional develop ments yesterday in the case of Deputy Sheriff Lee Hobbs of Graham county brought here on Sunday charged with the murder of a British sea captain in the south seas two and a half years ago. The deputy sheriff was brought before Judge Kent in the afternoon on the warrant for his extradition to Eng land and his hearing was set for next Friday. He was represented by Judge Mcfarland of Solomonville. His cou- sin Sheriff J. V. Parks of Graham county did not arrive in the city as was expected but it is thought he will be here today along with other friends of Hobbs in the southern part of the ter ritory.
 It was thought that a writ of habeas corpus would be sworn out yesterday but no movement was made in that di- rection. It is probable however that habeas corpus proceedings will be be- gun before the matter comes up on the warrant of extradition..
 The deputy sheriff still retains his calm and confident demeanor. He says that he will have no difficulty in show ing that the British government has made a mistake in procuring his ar
 
 Hobbs who killed Captain John Ben nett Nixon of the Leicester Castle, that he never heard of any such vesse! and that he was never aboard any sea go- ing vessel. Having learned yesterday that the complaint mentions thatt he formerly lived at Litchfield, H.. he says he was never in that state in his life. He was born in Texas not far from the Louisiana line and lived in various parts of the Lone Star state until he came to Arizona several years ago fol- lowing relatives who had removed here.
 The deputy sheriff says he will be able to prove by persons who where cognizant of his daily move ments that he could not have been out of the territory on or about Sept. 2, 1902. to have shipped on the Leicester Castle, to have made the long journey to Pitcairn island, have committed the murder with which he is charged and then have escaped in one of the ships boats and made his way back to this country. He says that he will be able to prove that about that time he re-
 newed a note for $500 in Cochise county.
 On the other hand the representa- tives of the British government assert that they could not possibly have made a mistake They say that they have moved with absolute certainty in this ! matter They expended in the investi- gation of the case z 5000 and made nc move until they were absolutely sure that they had the man who murdered Captain Nixon.
