Provisions Of the Bill Nov Be-
fore the Congress.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Of the
Hamilton joint statehood bill,
which congress is now wrestling
with, the first 10 sections apply
to Oklahoma and indian territory
alone. The remaining 18 Sec
tiOns apply to New Mexico and
Arizona, and provide for the
calling of a special election by
the governors of the two terri
tories within q short time after
the passage Of the bill. The
election is for the purpose of
electing 11O delegates, So from
New Mexico and "A from Ariz-
ona. This gives AarizOna about
two delegates the best of it,
based upon the census of 1900.
The 110 delegates thus elected
will meet in Santa Fe within
three or four weeks and stay
there not to exceed four or five
months. 1t is to frame a cons
titution which must be Republi-
can in form. The main consti-
tuition must then be submitted
to a vote of the people at cal
led election. But other separate
provisions can be submitted and
if receiving a majority Of the
votes can be made a part of the
constitution.
All political parties must hold
conventions Immediately after
the adjournment of the constitu-
tional convention, and nominate
a full state ticket to be voted ON
at the same time. This election
should occur about the first
Monday in next November. The
result of this election will be
certified to the president of the
United States, and in 20 days, ii
the act has been complied with
and majority of votes are for
the constitution, the president
is then bound to declare New
Mexico and Arizona q state and
admit it as such to the union, on
an equal footing with all other
states Of the union.
This final proclamation should
probably occurr about next
Thanksgiving, and as soon as il
is declared, the territorial gov.
ernment ceases and the state of.

is to remain at Santa Fe unit

Dear Sir:-ln reply to your favor

STATUE OF SAC4JAWEA.
Story of the Indian Maiden Who Pilot
ed Lewis and Clark-Result of
Woman'S Work.

Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. Of Oregon
City, Ore, wrote book on a very old
subject, but she treated it in another
way. This book, 'sThe Conquest" was
the history of the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition, with which every school
child is familiar, but she brought out
most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered the
expedition by one woman.
number of women of Portland
Ore, banded together under the name
OF the Woman's Club, felt in duty
bound to honor the memory of that
one woman, Sacajawea. Mrs. Dye was
elected president Of Sacajawea
Statue Association. With woman's wit
they found various methods to acquire
the necessary $1,000 to erect the
statue. Even with all the money pro-
cured the association found itself in
a quandary until Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe, through the generosity of her
husband, came to the rescue with the
copper for the casting. And this lat
ter gift was by no means inconsider-
able, for IL means nearly ten tons Of
pure copper, not to speak of the ex-
penses for smelling and shipping the
ore across the continent.
And after all It was but fitting that
not been for Sacajawea. the Lewis and
Clark expedition would never have
lived to bring under the American flag

Paris Statue OF Franklin.

The two hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Benjamin Franklin on the
18th of January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as well.
The memory Of Franklin, as first min
lister OF the United States to France, is
much revered in the capital Of that
country. and it is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in a foreign cline
should be unveiled in Paris.
AS early as May % last Mr.. John H.
Harjes, at present the resident mem
Der in Paris of the firm of Morgan. Har.
jes & Co, formulated an offer to Paris
officials of bronze statue of Franklin.
While it was originally intended that

Social intrigue was exhausted in the
efforts to secure Invitations to this

Ambitious mothers with eligible

that vast and rich country drained by
the Columbia River.
Sacajawea, when but thirteen years
old, was stolen from her people-the
Shoshones-and became a slave to the
Dakotas. They treated her well, how
ever, and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to a French fur-trader, Char
boneau, who made her his wife, prom
Using that he would, in time, take her
to her own people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition. with
Its motley band, came along, making
their winter quarters in that section
which is now the southern part of the
Dakotas. The expedition needed a
guide, and Charboneau learning of
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have a chance to find
her own people. She offered her serv-
ices to the pioneers. which were &C
cepted; Charboneau was hired as
cook.
During the winter. while the party
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth TO boy baby; yet, not to be de-
tered in her hope of again being
united to her people and with her
baby on her back. she led the party
over the rugged mountains to the head
waters or the COlum bia.
Before reaching the end Of the Jour
ney the explorers came across the
tribe from which the Western heroine
had been stolen. Her own people en-
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word to guide the men to the Pacific
Ocean and she was not to be sweTved
from keeping her promise. This is
the story which Mrs. Dye has set forth
in The Conquest" All through the
book is full OF little incidents of the
bravery OF the woman guide. how she
saved the band from ann hilation at
the hands OF an unfrioaGiy Indian
tribe. the leader OF whom was her
brother Mrs. Dye brings out into the
light the story Of Lewis and Clark

lives and having made possible the
success of their expedition
