naming horse belonged to Dorion and
he wouldn't permit it to be killed.
Dorion, too, had gone on ahead. Crooks
was taken i'll. The only remaining food
was three beaver skins, Hunt left two
men and two beaver skins with Crooks
and LeClerq and with three other men
hurried to Overtake DoriOn and insist
the horse be killed.
He overlook the party the next day,
but Dorion refused to let him kill the
horse and some of the others in the
party supported DOrion'S attitude on
the grounds that the horse, being the
last remaining resource, should be kept
as long as possible. Toward evening
the party came suddenly upon a Sho-
Shone lodge around which several
horses were grazing. The Indians fled
and left five of the animals. One was
butchered Immediately and meat was
sent back to Crooks and his compan-
ions. The next day Crooks overlook the
party and had a canoe made from the
horses skin to carry meat to his men
on the other side of the river. One man
was drowned in making the crossing.
Hunt left ample payment in the
lodges of the S~hoshones for the five
horses he had taken, and on Dec. II
whom they had induced to come into
camp. as guide. They crossed to the
west bank If the Snake river and
joined the men of Crooks party there.
Crooks and two others were unable to
keep up and were left behind with two
horses and a quantity of meat. Across
the river three of Crooks men were SO
weak they preferred to remain behind
and Hunt gave them the n and
enough meat to keep them in food until
Crooks came up. At a village of the
Sciatogas Indians they rested. There
was no further shortage of provisions,

and their men had already arrived
They had met while still on the Snake
river and descended it from the point
where Hunt and Crooks had turned
back.
In the meantime, Crooks, far back on
the trail, and a companion, John Day

his men had obtained n -Four

when it met the three hunters who had
been with Andrew Henry, and who adj
vised Hunt instead of following the
route of Lewis and Clark to leave the
river at Arikara villages in Dakota
and strike west overland, where they
said, less danger was to be apprehend-
ed, where game was abundant and
which would enable him to approach
the mountains at a point where a
more practicable crossing could be
found.
Disposed of Boats to Manuel Lisa
So at the Arikara village Hunt dis
posed of his boats to Manuel Lisa, head
of the Missouri Fur Co., who was there
engaged in a search for Henry and
his party whom he had sent to Three
Forks the previous year and news OF
from the three hunters who advised
Hunt to change his course. The three
Henry men took service with Hunt as
hunters. The Hunt party started over
land with 80 horses, and obtained Sc
more a few days later from a band of
Cheyenne Indians.
When Hunt and his men struck off
through an unknown wilderness, INTO
a country destitute of timber n with
very little heritage and water. even Lisa
and his experienced men shook their
heads and made dire predictions as to
the fate of the undertaking.
Strangely enough, however, the eX-
IRENE hardships of the journey were

start, where such pessimistic views
we're had of its welfare by the most
experienced men in western travel.
The party reached the Lewis fork OF
the Snake river in September, having
crossed the mountains without unto
ward incident, and planned to go the
rest of the way by canoe. Snake n
dams, however, told them the river was
not navigable very far and an eXplor-
ing party that Hunt sent out con-
firmed the report. He proceeded then
to the fort which Andrew Henry had
built the previous year after having
left the Three Forks country, and de-
cided to establish it a. a trading post:
Henry had abandoned it and was at
that time on his way back to st. Louis
by way of the Big Horn and Yellow
stone and Missouri rivers. Hunt left at
that post the three Henry men who
had Joined his party. Miller threw up
his partnership in the expedition and
remained with the three as a trapper.

He next detached three more men
and left them to trap on the Lewis
fork of the Snake river. He then start

reached a point from which the river
might be navigated. His remaining IT

honesty for their recovery. incidentally,
he never saw the horses again.
BY Oct. IS the party had Is canoes
ready, and embarked. The second day
two canoes were lost in an effort TO
run a rapids. The crews, however,
reached shore: A places they nag 70
800 miles before they were faced with
a perpendicular falls 80 feet in height
and a succession of rapids which made
portages necessary. They were unable to
contact the ShoShone Indians, in whose
country they were, for the tribesmen
fled from their village at the approach
of the white men.
One Member of Party Drowned
Then Crooks canoe split on a rock
and n Of the crew was drowned.
Ahead of them was a boiling caldron
which exploration revealed extended
down the river for 40 miles. They had
lost much of their provisions in re-
peated accident. When they had only
five days rations left, it was decided
to split up into small parties and go
in different directions in the hope
that some might fall in with Indians,
from whom provisions and horses might
be obtained. John Reed, a clerk, and
Mcclellan, each with three men, headed
different parties down stream. Crooks
with five men turned back for Fort
Henry hoping to recover the horses
left behind. and Mckenzie, with five
men struck north hoping to reach the
Columbia river. There remained with
the main party, Hunt, Dorion, his squaw
and two children and 81 men. Hunt
started to build caches for the bag
gage, preparatory to the departure Of
his W company. Crooks party re-
turned in three days disheartened at
the difficulties they had encountered
and convinced that if they did reach
Fort Henry they would be unable to
rejoin the main party that winter. A
few days later two of Reeds party
returned. They had zen no Indians,
but had found the stream u~nnavigable
as far as they had gone.
Party Starts Down Stream
On Nov. 9, the party was divided and
Crooks with 10 men started down
stream on the south bank and Hunt
with 10 men, and Dorion and his fam
lily started down the north bank.
Through the month they toiled on.

from the first constitutional conven-

is probable, however, that the placard
dates from about Is years ago..
The strongest argument against
woman suffrage, it is said, is the n
voiced by the fourth question regard
ing the Submerged tenth" It was ar
gued that the great mass OF American
wives and mothers were not interested
in the franchise and would not cast a
ballot even if they were granted the
franchise; that the only result of
woman suffrage would be an increase
of the purchased vote which would be
cast by the women of the underworld
at the behest of politicians. The general
attitude of women at this time Is said
to have supported the argument. There
was only a small percentage Of the fair
sex in the field for suffrage particularly
in the west.
