great exploration that was to open up
an empire to the white men.
Within Il week the party had passed
the Little Missouri and reached the
Yellowstone River Already they were
climbing the long slope toward the
mountains. Day by day the river mar
rowed and grew swifter. The men
could no longer row and the boats had
to be towed, the men and horses walk
ing at the base of steep banks. Hunt
ers constantly foraged for game. The
first mountain bears were seen and
Bird Woman told the plainsmen the
tricks OF mountain hunters in getting
bears, ante!opes and bighorns.
Around the Great Falls.
The Industrious and skilled little
woman made and mended moccasins
all day long, for the rocks and cactus
plants wore out foot covering rapidly.
Beatheing became difficult to every one
but this mountain-bred girl whose
feet grew lighter as she assembled.
Late in May, from cliff to which she
led him, Captain Lewis got his first
glimpse of the Rockies, the snow
peaks dazzling in the sunshine.
Now the water became still swifter,
plunging down in dangerous rapids
between sheer walls Of rocks. Then
came burst of glory above the plains.
1t was the Great Falls plume of
spray eighty feet high between lofty
cliffs. The boats had to be carried
around these falls for a distance of
twenty miles. Bird Woman told how
to make the carriages, with wheels of
cross sections of cottonwood trees. on
which the boats were set. Trappers
from Canada had taught the mountain
tribes how to make them.
Here were buffaloes, bears, antelope,
bishorn sheep. Bird Woman knew
how to open gopher holes and find the
wild artichoke that We're as good as
potatoes. She warned them not to

made ointment for sore feet and for
mosquito bites-made every one COM
Portable with her feminine ingenuity.
Through the Gates Of the West.
And then on the 25th of July she
became guide, as we'll as counselor
and friend, to the party. They had
entered the gates of the Rockies and
reached the three forks of the Mis-
souri,. At the meeting of the waters
her eyes lit up with recognition and
she led the way up the South Fork
over the old Shoshohe trail to the
mountain pass.
Bird Woman now went on ahead
with her husband and Captain Clark
to find horses, since the boats were no
longer of any use. Straight as bird
flies she made for the old home of the
Snake Indians. One day in the middle
OF August she saw several Indians on
ponies. She stopped, gasped little
with delight, then began dancing run
forward toward the tepees of a viii
lage hidden by a spur.
When the others came I'D with her
she was embracing the Indian women
and children. In the Chief Cameah-
wait she found her own brother. New
guides were found now who knew the
way to the Great Sea Water and Bird
Woman and her French husband re-
manned for the winter, guests of her
tribe.
The next summer they returned
with Clark and Lewis to the DakOtas.

SAkAkAWEA, THE BIRD WOMAN
be Erected Bismar Honor of the Squaw Who
Lewis and Clark

across the plains of the West and over
ers Lewis and Clark, the way to the
Pacific.
The explorers saw her first, this
Bird Woman, to whose wisdom,
patience and fidelity they were to owe,
so largely, the success of their eXpedi-
ton. in a village of the Mandan In
dians ON the spot where Bismarck,
North Dakota stands. They had fin
ished the first steps of their Journey,
starting from St. Louis, in May 1904,
and arriving at this point 1000 miles
up the Missouri in October. Here they
decided to make their winter camp,
where there was plenty of game and
the protection of friendly tribe.
Five years before Sakakawea had
been captured by band of Sioux and
carted to the land of the Dakotahs as
Il slave, she was a chiefs daughter,
and OF uncommon grace of mind and
person. NJ. Charboneau, French
Canadian voyager had purchased her
for wife, giving all his store of skins
and ponies for her. He appreciated
his good fortune in getting such wife
in that wild country. and treated her
with courtesy and affection to which
Indian women We're unused. White
men she trusted absolutely, for
from the one she knew best she had
only chivalry and comradeship Until
these explorers arrived, she had no
hope of ever visiting her own people,
but no sooner did she learn that the
party intended pushing across the
mountains to the Pacific in the spring,
than she had a plan in her small wise
head. She at once began to plan to so
with them as their guide.
There was a long frozen winter to
think it over To every objection her
husband offered, the Bird Woman had
her answer. She could march, she
could row, she could swim, she could
load a canoe, catch fish. shoot game,
set up tent, dress a skin, sock, make
moccasins. She knew the course Of
the mountain rivers and passes, the
habits of the mountain animals, where
to find food in a barren land, waterin
alkali deserts. Oh, she would be use
full. She would make no trouble or
ask privileges. And the little papoose
would be no cause of anxiety to any
one. He would go all the way on her
back. In the end she prevailed. No
one could resist her eloquence and be-
sides in all the plains there was no
other person, man or woman to be
found who had seen the Great Falls of
the Missouri or come across the
snowy passes of the mountains. So
at five o'clock one evening in April
1905, Bird Woman set her small
moccasined feet in one of the six
canoes that were pushed out on the
turpid water of the Missouri. Two fiat
boats followed. Sails were hoisted,
flags unfurled, salutes fired. The In
dians and voyageurs and trappers on
the banks cheered as the little banks
glided on the muddy current. Few be-
lieyed the brave explorers would ever
come back. But Bird Woman eyes
were bright with hope. She looked
eagerly toward the setting SUM- she
had set out on her long homeward
flight.
Now, as night came on she rested
in the canoe as a mother bird in a
swinging nest, and crooned to the
chubby brown baby who knew not that
he was to figure in the history of a

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 1S.-Much inter-

Announcement that Judge Cowan May
Resign-Subject Of Conversation
In Grand Forks.

II legal circles, the announcement
that Judge Cowan may resign his
position and enter the Burke & Mid
daugh firm has been the subject of
considerable discussion and specula-
ton. Mr.. Cowan, is, admittedly one
of the best trial lawyers in the state,
and his return to the ranks of the
attorneys would be welcome. In case
he resigns, his probable successor
will be the matter of some more dis
cussion among attorneys.

The North Dakota Federation of
Womens clubs is assisting the his
torical society to erect statue of
Sakakawea the first North Dakotan
whose name was enrolled on the pages
of history. Funds to the amount of
$SS4.72 have already been raised by
them by committee Of which Mrs.
C. F. Amidon of Fargo is chairman
and Mrs. C. J. Lord of Cando secretary.
The statue is to be bronze of heroic
size and placed on the hill near the
capitol at Bismarck, North Dakota.
You can fancy that she is pointing to
the great falls, to the shining peaks
of the Rockies, or to tine Shoshone trail
up the South Fork of the Missouri.
But for her and her knowledge of the
mountains, that expedition might have
failed and the white man have been
kept out of his empire another decade.
Not one of the thousands of visitors
to the Lewis and Clark Exposition but
paused to gaze on the statue of
young Indian woman.
1t has charm all it's own among the
many sculptured figures and groups
that adorn the Fair Grounds. One
feels that there is a story to account
for the lightness and grace and eager
attitude. 1t is like that of bird, just
ready to spring into the air from
swaying bush and begin long flight
to an unforgotten home. The heavy
fringed deerskin robe and moccasins

PRAYER MEETING ON TRAINS.
A.sociated Press Cable to The Evening

London, Jan. 1S.-Two enterprising
and up-to-date evangelists have hit
upon the idea of train prayer meet
ing. Suburban travellers are the ones
approached by these two self-appoint-
ed missionaries, whose first attack"
has been made upon the North London
railway trains, morning and evening.
One plays hymns on concertina, and
joins in singing and praying. These
services on wheels, though occasion
ally resented, are not generally disap-
proved. Indeed, many business men
who crowd the cars at the times these
services are held, seem to enjoy them.
So enthusiastic are the originators
over their success that-provided suf-
ficient funds are forthcoming-they
purpose extending their sphere of act
ivity to other railway lines. They
have received the consent Of several
railway companies already, who fav-
orably view the new departure.

The above message was sent in re-
spouse to telegram urging that coal
be sent to Fort Totten. ~ D.
The fuel shortage throughout the
state as whole shows a slight let up.
and with the coal now being rushed
along the line there should net be as
much suffering as has been predicted.
Upon investigation it is found that
during the first fifteen days of JAN,
1907, there were received in Grand
Forks $50 more tons of coal than dur
ing the same period of last year. In
the past month and half, 427 tons of
hard coal have been shipped through
this city for points in the state.
Antler, N. D., Jan. 1s.-There is al
most no coal in town and the cold
weather of past few days has caused
considerable hardships. If weather
lets up matters will look better, but
food is not too plentiful and trains
have been altogether too far apart.
