OF Sakakawea Still Spoken
In State

The Indian woman who guided the
Lewis and Clark expedition on it's
travels in the Northwest and who
did much to establish friendly rela-
tions between the members of the
expedition and Indian tribes along
that part of the rout that lay be-
tween what is now Mandan and the

Mandan, DR.. Melvin Randolp Gilmore
curator of the state historical So
ciety of North Dakota, believing that

people of the state and nation, has
at some pains made an extensive in
vestigation of the subject and now
has reported his findings in state

ut is deplorable that the name OF
the woman who guided Lewis and

spelling, and that so many persons

Of that tribe in North Dakota, and

Lorg Endemic of English Poisoned Candy
Mysteries Dies Out in Practical Joke

the opinion prevails generally that
the poison candy by postN story
was created to cover a laxity on part
of some of the invaluable sleuths Of
the Yard, who sometimes are very
fallible indeed.
1t is believed that the poison was
not inserted in the packet delivered
through the mail, but in box of
candies sent to Sir William Norwood
by his daughter, Beryl, who de-
signed to- take the chiefs life entered
his private office in the Yard, there
found the candies, poisoned them and
left the guarded court without being
challenged After Sir William had
eaten the candy more boxes arrived.
Criminal Still at Large\
Some were sent by the criminal
others were sent by the police them
selvs. with the object Of concealing
the laxity that had so nearly cost Sir
William his life. That much is now
known to those who are able to OBJ
tain information other than that
given out officially.
But there still remains the uues-
ton of the identity of the pers on
responsible for the attempt on the
life of Sir william.
1t is believed that he never will be
apprehendcd. because there are rea-
sons of state for refraining from lay
ing hands on him, reasons affecting
the honor of one of the proudest
houses in Europe.

Gas is Unknown, Sakakawea was

by war party of Hidatsa and car

into the tribe of her captors, adopted
and given a Hidatsa name, and sub
sequertly brought up as a member
OF that tribe. What her name was

tured and made. to all intents and
purposes, and Hidatsa, is not known
and can not ever be known. But the
name by which she is known and
will always be known to history is an
Hidatsa name, made from the Hidat-
sa name for bird. Lewis and Clarke
spoke Of her as Bird Woman, which
is the translation of her Hidtsa name,
Sakakawea. At the present day she
is spoken of by the Hidatsa people
at Sakakawea, which is corroberative
evidence.

Neither Lewis or Clarke, could
correctly speak or write the English
language, how much less then,. could

spelling simple English words in sew

the assets of the bank to such an
extent that it could not undertake
such proposit;o ON as financing a
great mill business.
Slack Summer Period
The redeposits, it is understood,
all are old, having been in banks
previous to the time of the present
management. The "other collateral
loans" includes the Equity Packing
plant and other loans. The $514,128.-
81 loaned to state institutions prob
ably will be repaid in January. Dur
ing each summer period, unless the
state levies taxes to bride over this
non-tax paying time, there always
must be loans obtained somewhere
for the state institutions.
The amount in closed banks in
three items, loans, redeposits and
receivers proof of claims, amounts
to $1,394,38O.17.

Can Tax Money Be Used
While expert testimony and inves-

 A TYPICAL WAR LORD

A more characteristic exponent of former German militarism could not be found than Ludendorff. He represents the blood and iron of Bismark and the unsuitable egotism of Wilhelm. His is the type of mind which sees God as his lieutenant in battles and all men in relation to regiments to be hurled at whatever he chooses to hurl them. He alone thinks and slaughters and in nothing must he be crossed, this side of Mars or beyond. Even in his present retreat Ludendorff re- mains true to form, though it is reported that he keeps himself constantly guarded by his wife, two pistols and two wolf hounds. It was in this state that an interviewer claims to have found him at his country home. During the interview Ludendorff kept the lone newspaper man covered with his fierce eye, while pistol barrels bulged out his coat pockets and the dogs walked around await ing his command to attack Standing in front of him, his wife admitted the inter- viewer.
 But this unsuitable ego demanded more mo- tice than that. So the other day Ludendorff ventured out and appeared at small town to address a congress of peasants. These lowly persons were no doubt expected to raise timid eyes and lend eager ears to the august one. But somehow they did not do these things. Instead they raised their hands and tried to tear him from his auto mobile, crying "Germany's grave-digger," sbloodhound'' and murderer" Street dec orations were pulled down. The great Lu- dendorff was not permitted to deliver his address. Some of the peasants began shout ing, "We are hungry and want bread,' and the imperious commander ordered his chauf- feur to hurry home. It was a rather in- glorious experience for man who is re- puted to have shown but scant respect to the "All Highest himself when the German militarists dominated the imperial govern ment.

THE WARRIOR RATE DECISION

Six months ago the Interstate Commerce Commission was expected to render an early decision in the case of the Warrior river complaint against the disproportionate share of the through rail and water rates allowed the rail carriers connecting with the War rior terminals Senator McKellar of Ten nessee and Senator Lenroot have reason to protest at this delay in acting on such an important matter.
 The case is simple one. The Mississippi river rates permitting a profit on barge line operations, because its rates were in existence before the barge line was inau- gurated, dating back to the period when the carriers granted low rates to Mississippi river points in order to take the business from the river craft. They put the boats out of business, but the basis of water borne rates at Mississippi river terminals remained. When the barge line was placed in operation it automatically enjoyed these low rates, while the Warrior, being new project did not. All the Interstate Com merce Commission has to do is to order that the same principle of through rates apply to the Warrior as applies to the Mississippi. As it is, some of the rate divisions are ab- surd on their surface.
 The Warrior asks fairness only; asks only what the Mississippi river has, and is just as certain to return net profit on opera tions as the Mississippi barge line has done, if fair proportion of the through rate is accorded. With the Mississippi as a work ing example of what is just, it does not ap- pear that there is any intricate problem involved.
