Lewi enlisted at ajje 20 when President George Washington called for troops tjo put down the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania. He fojund that Army life was for him, and became a Regular Army man as soon as he could. The families of Lewis and Thomas Jefferson were old friends and neighbors in Virginia. When Jefferson le-ame President in 1801, he retained Lewis as his private secretary. Came 1803.

and the Ixwisiana Purchase, which more than doubled the size of the United States in one historic real estate deal. Jefferson, before the transaction was completed, had been planning to send explorers to map an overland route to the Pacific Ocean. With Louisiana Territory ours, the President made haste to get Congress' approval of the expedition, and chose Lewis and Clark to head it. The official takeoff was performed at St. Louis May 14.

Batista legalized and supported the Communist Party, oiganir.ed a lalair party infiltrated by Reds and fellow traveler. Fidel Castro's past and present political life offers no such incriminating episodes.

I've never seen a burlesque show, but inde-rent movements that should be barred in burlesque seem to drive young crazy.

1 wonder the excitements and the triumphs they experienced. The winters were terrible for the most part, the springs rainy and depressing, the summers hot. A good deal of trouble with Indian tribes had been expected, but fortunately next to none developed. This piece of luck was most likely due to two things the diplomacy and tact of both Lewis and Clark, and the hopes of various Indian chiefs that they might induce these explorers to side with them in their wars with other tribes. Of great help, too, an Indian woman named Saca-jawea, wife of a French trader named Toussaint Charbon-neau who joined the expedition as an interpreter in the Mandan country (now North Dakota).

On Nov. 15. 1805. the Lewis and Clark party at last reached the Pacific. They spent a horrible winter at the little fort (named Clatsop) which they hastened to build.

The return trip began March 23, 1806, with the explorers splitting up into two parties which between them managed to have a pretty good look at much of what is now the giant state of Montana. They reunited below the mouth of the Yellowstone, made excellent time down the Missouri River, a-nd reached St. Louis Sept. 2.1, 1800. Lewis and Clark brought back a They Blazed great and valuable amount of geo-The Trails graphical, astronomical and plain-facts rejorting.

Because of these men. the West ceased to be a forbidding, all but unknown area. They had blazed the first of many trails to the Pacific, and had shown that the West could be explored and colonized. (Free advertisement: If you're ever on the Northern Pacific Railway's crack North Coast Limited, don't miss the Traveler's Rest car, with its murals picturing highlights of the Lewis and Clark saga.) Clark later became Governor of the Northwest Territory; Lewis, Governor of Louisiana. Clark died at St.

Louis Sept. 1, 1838. Lewis either killed himself or was murdered Oct. 11, 1809. at a dirty little inn near Nashville, on a trip which was to have taken him to Washington on government business.

In the lore of American exploration anil pioneering, it's a safe bet that these men's names will never die.
