By ELMO SCOTT WATSON hundred and twenty years ago I this month the little village of SL ■ BE Louis was aflame with excitement. FW» J A horseman had ridden furiously from Fort Bellefontaine to carry pgr. t J some wonderful news.’ A little fleet y of boats, carrying a party of men who had long been given up for Eota fa J dead, was sweeping down the Big Muddy and would soon be pulling I y ”P to the water front. And this was the scene which followed—the description la from the pen of Emerson Hough: "Laughing. talking, ejaculating, weeping in their joy, the people or SL Louis hurried out to meet the men whose voyage meant so much. At last they saw them coming, the paddles flashing tn unison in the horny hands which tirelessly drove the boats along the river. They could see them—men with long beards, clad in leggings of e!k hide, moccasins of buffalo and deer; their bead dresses those of the Indians, their long hair braided And see. in the prow of the foremost craft sat two men. side by side—Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.” Two young Virginians had returned from their "magnificent adventure” 1 On that same day, September 23, 1808. a resident of St, Louis sat down to write to the Baltimore Federal Gazette these words, “When they arrived three cheers were flred. They really have the appearance of Robinson Crusoe— dressed entirely in buckskin." On that same day Meriwether Lewis wrote to President Jefferson the first report of their expedition that he had been able to send in a year and a bait Here is what be said, “In obedience to your orders we have penetrated the continent of North America to •he Pacific ocean and sufficiently explored the Interior of the country to affirm that we have discovered the moat practicable communication which does exist across the continent by means of the navigable branches of the Missouri and Columbia rivers." A modest report, that! Could he have looked Into the future he might have added. "We have blazed the trail for civilization across half a continent. We have joined the Oregon country to your Louisiana Purchase. We have given to our nation the rich territory of the Pacific Northwest and California.* 0 • Despite the proverbial Ingratitude at republics. It must be said to the credit of the United States that la the case of Lewis and Clark, at least, their achievement brought the reward it so richly deserved Their return to Washington was a triumphal procession They were guests of the nation, feted and honored everywhere. Captain Lewis was made governor of the new Territory of Louisiana Captain Clark was made a general and agent for all the Indian tribes tn the West Besides these commissions, congress granted them 1.800 acres of land. Nor have these valorous young captains been forgotten during the hundred years that have intervened since their exploit. Cities, counties and automobile trails bear their names. Their memory was honored at the Louisiana Purchase exposition la St. Louis In 1904 and when Portland, Ore., held an exposition a little later It was named the Lewis and Clark exposition, and their names were oa the Ups of every American. Last year, at the inspiration of Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern railway, the Upper-Mlasouri Historical expedition, composed of a number of eminent historians, visited five historical sites in the West. One of them was at the town of Meriwether la Glacier county. Mont, where * tall shaft had been erected to the memory of Meriwether Lewin commemorating the farthest north point reached by the Lewie and Clark expedition A deed for the site of this monument and the monument has recently been presented to the state of Montana by President Budd and It is now state property. Last year, also, the Bitter Root chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution unveiled a tablet nt Traveler's Rest creek, near Lolo. Mont, where the Lewis and Clark expedition camped on September 10,1808. Montana proposes to pay further honor to the pathfinders and at the present time several cities are competing for the privilege of being the site of a state memorial to the explores authorised at the last sisal n a of the Montana legislature. This year the Idea of the Upper Missouri River Historical expedition was repeated In a Columbia River Historical expedition, sponsored by the governors of the six Northwest states and Pred-

The final celebration was at Astoria. Ore., where a tall shaft, the gift of Vincent Astor of New York, was unveiled. This monument was erected principally to honor John Jacob Astor. « the man who looms largest tn the history of the American fur trade. But upon the column, which towers 126 feet In the air from its position on a hill 626 feet above the river. Is a ribbon-like frieze, depicting in fresco the historical events connected with the name of Astoria. The pictured story of John Jacob Astor and the fur trade Is there, as is the story of Capt. Robert Gray, who discovered and named the Columbia river In 1792. It also bears the names of Lewis and Clark, who first saw the Pacific and realized that they had come to the end of their quest, near Astoria. Four miles away and easily in sight of the new Astoria monument, they built a winter camp. Fort Clatsop, and stayed there until March 23, 1806. when they set out for St. Louis. But Montana and Oregon are not the only states that hive thus remembered Meriwether Lewta Tennessee, where he is buried, also has done honor to his name. And thereby hangs the tale of the tragedy of the brave young leader’s untimely death and one of the mysteries of American history. In September, 1809. Governor Lewis left St. Ix>uls for Washington. Unattended he made his way through the Chickasaw country of Tennessee and one October evening came to the tavern of Robert Grinder, a half-breed, on the old Natcbes Trace. Lewta engaged a room at the tavern. During the night a shot was heard and he was found dying with a pistol beside him. Historians disagree as to who fired the shot There Is one theory that tn a fit of melancholy be committed suicide. President Jefferson is said to have accepted that belief and it persisted for many years. But later,research supports the belief of the settlers oe the Natchez Trace that Lewis was murdered for bis money, and the name of “Old Grinder” Is linked with the crimeu Lewis was burled near the tavern and It was not until 40 years later that the Tennessee legislature honored his memory by naming a county after him and erecting over his grave a monument at a coat of 1300. The ravages of time have •eriousiy defaced the monument, however, and now citizens of Tennessee are planning to build over it a dome-shaped shrine, supported by Grecian columns, each representing one of the states of the Louisiana Purchase, to shield the old monument. Several years ago the federal government autherised the purchase of the tract of land upon which the monument «ands and its maintenance as a memorial park. Plans for the new memorial cal! for statues of Lewis and bis companion. Captain dark, and one of Sacajawea. the Indian girl who was their guide and who did so much to Insure the succees of the expedition. Mention of the name of Sacajawea recalls one of the most romantic aspects of the Lewis and Clark expedition, that es a sixteemyear-old Indian mother with a tiny babe strapped on her back, who. as the journals of the expedition record, -guided us unerringly through mountain passes.

& ■ - \ ' F’ IMP r ojcf>ar services to the expedition, it is altogether fitting that she should be held tn grateful remembrance by the American people. Her memory is preserved in two notable statues. One by Alice Cooper (shown in one of the Illustrations of this article) was one of the most admired bits of statuary at the Lewis and Clark exposition in Portland and it now stands in the city park there. Another stands on the state capitol grounds in Bismarck, N. D. It is interesting to note that, as in the case of Meriwether Lewis, there Is a mystery connected with the death of Sacajawea. According to one account she died on the Wind River reservation of her native people, the Shoshones, on April 8. 1884, and was buried tn the Indian cemetery there. A monument was erected over the grave in 1906 but since that time there has been a controversy among historians as to whether this grave really bolds the bones of Sacajawea. Finally. the bureau of Indian affairs appointed Dr. Charles A. Eastman, the well-known Sioux Indian author and historian, to make an investigation ■ and determine if possible where she was buried. After a three-months’ investigation among three tribes, the Shoshones. Gros Ventres and Comanches. Doctor Eastman reported his belief that the woman who was buried near Fort Was- j hakie. on the Wind River reservation In Wyoming, was the girl who guided Lewis and Clark. This ’ supports the conclusions reached by Dr. Grace I Raymond Hebard. historian of the University of Wyoming, from evidence which she gathered while making » similar Investigation David HU ger, secretary of the Montana Historical society; L. F. Crawford, curator of the North Dakota Historical society, and Doane Robinson. superintendent emeritus of the South Da2. kota department of history, however, do not concur in this belief. They contend that she died December 20. 1812. at Fort Manuel on the Missouri river tn South Dakota. If they are correct—and they believe that their evidence is indisputable. just as Doctor Eastman believes that he is folly justified tn hl* eonritmions—thw grave of Sacajawea can never be marked, for the Missouri river has long since swept away the rite of Fort Manuel and with it the spot where the Indian girl was burled. The controversy was started last year when the proposal was made that congress appropriate Sfi.ftX) to erect a suitable monument over the supposedly authentic grave near Fort Washakie and this was followed by Doctor Eastman’s Investigation, authorized by the Indian department. In view of all these conflicting opinions, it la difficult for the layman to decide just when and where Sacajawea, or Sakakawea. died and where she was buried. Perhaps it doesn't make much difference. Wherever she lies, her name has a permanent place in our history and her memory !s enshrined with that other Indian heroine. Pocahontas of Virginia.

LUXURIOUS UTILITY COATS; AUTUMN MILLINERY IS HERE

COMES now autumn with winter not far away and what has fashion to aay in regard to the coats we will wear to protect us from chilling winds? Briefly let the answer be — luxurious plaids, fur-collared, and if it so please you, fur-lined. An increasing difference in styling is manifesting itself between the sports or utility coats and the dressier types for more formal occasion. While the latter Is talcing on all sorts of new vagaries in the way of fanciful sleeves and decorative features, the coat which we will serve for play, for work, for school and for all practical daytime affairs is remaining loyal to
