EXPLORATION ••.Moniana, Montana, Glory of the West — Lewis and Clark thought so, too. They related with happy recollections their exciting adventures in present Montana. For many weeks Lewis and Clark sailed up the. Missouri River, scanning open plains, dense forests, towering mountains, and wild animals. Soon they arrived at a river strangely while in appearance. At first a little aw ed and i hen amused, Lewis said, Looks like someone poured a teaspoonful of milk into a cup of tea. Clark said, Milk River sure seems to fit it. One day a small party Left I he hoar to go hunting. They had not gone far when they saw a large, brown hear. Several hunters fired and wounded the hear, hut this hear was not to he unavenged. Furiously it sprang up and ran toward the men. Clark fired again but the bear, although hurt again, ran for- ward with blazing eyes and open mouth, displaying enormous teeth. The men, distracted, dropped their arms and ran. Two jumped into the canoe, the rest leaped down a twenty-foot hank , and now the hear was lowering its paws to strike and — hang! Lewis, at the crucial moment, had tired from the canoe and saved one of his men from disaster. From St. Louis to the Pacific, ii was necessary lor them to have an in- terpreter — to acquaint the Indians with the friendly purpose of the trip. Char- bonneau was the man. lie refused to accompany the expedition without his wife and child. Fortunate it was I hat Lewis and Clark acquiesced, for his wife was i he invaluable Sacajawea. When Maria ' s Liver was reached, although only a branch of the Missouri, it was so broad that they could not tell which was the main river. The Indians said the true Missouri had great waterfalls. Lewis, with a small party of men, followed Maria ' s River for several days but found no falls. They returned, and with Clark journeyed up the true Missouri. It was on a glorious June day that the (Jreat Falls of the Missouri were first sighted by white men. After leaving the Great Falls, they followed the Missouri through that wonderful canyon, the (Jates of the Mountains. Sacajawea was once more most opportune. She created a friendly atmos- phere with the usually hostile Shoshones. From this tribe the expedition re- ceived much valuable aid in continuing the journey westwards. As Lewis and Clark undertook the expedition into the unknown territory to find and to discover a new land, so we. the classes, come to G. F. H. S. to learn what is, to improve what already exists, and to discover no new lauds but the means to make the already discovered land a better place in which to live.
