At the time Of her capture she

In the second village near Stan

by the American captains as q
guide and interpreter. He was
accompanied on this expedition
by Sakakawea and her baby son.
The journey to the western
coast was extremely hazardous and
difficult. Although still mere

After her return from the west
ern coast her activities are not
so we'll known until she visited
Captain Clark at st. Louis in
1910. Her son was left with him
to be educated. After this the
true facts OF Sakakawea's life are
somewhat obscure. At the pres
ent time there are two stories
concerning her latter life. Both
Of them are backed by what ap-
pear to be authentic records. One
Of these stories records her death
at Fort Manuel in South Dakota
In 1872; the other tends to prove
that she died on the Wind River
reservation in Wyoming in 1884.
These conflicting stories in no
way detract from the story of
her self-sacrifice and heroism
during the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition. The splendid part she
played in this historic expedition
always will be considered one Of
the most thrilling episodes Of the
west.

j. s. indian SCHOOL
IN CITY FITS GIRLS
FOR BETTER HOMES
Federal institution Has Beer
Operating In Capital City
/ Since 1905

The Bismarck Indian school is To-
Gated on an eminince on the east
bank Of the Missouri river and within
the city limits Of Bismarck.
The view from the campus Is un-
usual and its interest Is enhanced by
the massive steel bridges that span
the river nearby. A considerable
part Of this campus has been beauti-
fully Handicapped and this has been
given such attention that during the
summer months 1t Is unusually at
tractive.
The school plant consists Of "A
buildings, seven Of which are substan-
tial brick. The total value OF the
buildings and grounds is approxi-
mately 100000. The school has $50
acres of farm land.
This school IS q federal institution
and is maintained entirely by funds
appropriated by congress. During re-
cent years there has been expended
each year sums ranging from $4,000
to $4,000. The pupils enrolled are
those whose parents have q consider
able degree of Indian blood. The en-
tire expense Of attending the school
for each pupil Is paid from federal
funds. The school has capacity OF
slightly less than 100 pupils. There
are II regular employees.
The school is equipped to house and
board all Of the children; 1t also pro-
vides their clothing. It gives them
the academic training that Is given
pupils in ordinary schools where nine
grades are offered. School attain
ments are comparable with those Of
the best public schools.
Established In 1905
The school was established In 1905.
It was only one Of as or 80 other non
reservation schools built In various
parts Of the. United States years ago.
Some of these schools have been abol-
ished during recent years. The child
rem who were then incidentally de-
prived Of school facilities by the clos
ing Of these schools were not, how
ever, abandoned educationally by the
federal government. Instead, the
public schools near the homes Of the
children are being encouraged to &C
cept them. Where there are no such
public schools. or where public school
facilities are inadequate the federal
government Is undertaking to assist
public school authorities In erecting
additions to old school buildings when
this Is needed, or, In some cases to
build new public school buildings out
right for the enrolment Of Indian
children. A tuition often = paid 70

on the local community.
During the earlier years Of the
school 1t enrolled both boys and girls.

Recently, however, there has been en-
rolled only girls. Last year for the
first time the enrolment was limited
to those In the fourth grade and shove.
Girls are enrolled here from both
North and South Dakota, and from
adjoining states. This area geogra.
phically represents the original home

some mention in these columns Of
the unavoidable delay in replying to

coupled with added duties requiring
almost constant attendance at the i'm

of looking into the manner in which
funds for national defense have been
squandered in past years, and the
system of procurement of these sup

time for replies to letters, even with
evenings regularly used.
AS a result, it has become a neces-

to letters involving departmental e--

or material. Others are respectfully

From the time the bill was first
introduced and taken up something
over a month ago. House leaders
have consistently blocked any free
action on the part of House members
through employing series of tight
and drastic gags, and by using par

votes upon the subjects mentioned.
Peculiarly enough, the final vote
would have accepted the Senate
amendments as to veterans, had not
the Speaker himself voted, and had
not delay been arranged which per-

willing to change his vote, thereby

not definitely defeat the proposal.
While majority voted in favor, the
final vote was considerably short of
the two-thirds necessary, and means
that more negotiations will have to
be entered with Canada, and that the
President will have to take such
steps as will be required to convert
some who voted against his desires

to the entire Northwest, but is not
to be regarded as final.
The President has indicated that

be to attempt to dislodge some of

Paul Lukas was never better

He is a master at humor, an abil-

amazed at the vivaciouS comedi-

subtlety and broadness; she's a
delight as a lady who has i'm
