Sully Delayed The Sully expedition of 1863, Mr. Wright continues, was supposed to have connected with General Sibley, but the former was delayed and did not reach Long Lake until the latter part of August. At this camp his army rested while two companies of cavalry under Captain Cram scouted to the Sibley camp at the mouth of Apple Creek and returned to Long Lake with the news that Sibley had reached the Missouri and returned east, Sully turned southeast on re- ceiving this information, and /after several! days’ travel he came upon a camp of Indians in the vicinity~of the W Stone Hills in Dickey County and fought a battle with them + on September 3, 1863.

Sibley Island Named Sibley Island also has some fa cinating history connected with its nam “Assinaboine” or “Burnt Boat” it was also called, from the burning of the steamer Assinaboine on June 1, 1833, aboard which was Maximilian, Prince of Weid, with valuable collections, much of which was destroyed by fire, The old name, Assinaboine, was dropped and the name, Sibley, pic up after the latter drove the Indians over the river near Point Pleasant. It is pro- bable that the Indians made their way over the river at various points from the mouth of Burnt Creek to Sibley Island. Burnt Creek, Mr. Wright’s account points out, is sometimes confused with the name Burnt Boat from the burning of the machinaw boat on the sand bar at the mouth of Burnt Creek by Indians in Aug- ust, 1863, shortly after Sibley had left the river and returned east. This boat was carrying a party of miners from the gold mines in western Mon- tana to the lower Missouri. They were attacked and all killed a short distance above the site of the rail- road bridge.

War- attorney general. It will be recalled that Warren would have been confirmed if Vice President Dawes had been on hand to break the first tie vote. Why wasn’t he on hand? He was] taking a nap at his hotel, Yes, but why was he taking a nap at so critical a time? It seems as if it was careless of him. It also seems as if it was car less of the Republican Senate mai agers. Usually they have’ all their forces available when a close vote is uhead. The party machinery works pretty efficiently. What made it slip just then? JUST A GUESS Only a gu is possible but the: some circumstantia] evidence to ba that guess on President Coolidge, though a con- servative, is not much in sympathy with the old-time stand-pat Repub- lican lezders and hes taken a good deal of their purty authority away from them. As his senatorial trusties he has a little group of new men, not yet well trained in the parliamentary game. Isn’t it possible that the old-tim- ers, disgruntled at being supplanted, simply sat back and let the young: ters mismanage for the president? Possibly it’s also significant. that Charles _B. Warren cast the only Michigan vote against Dawes for vice president at the Cleveland con- vention. TEACHING HIM Further, after going through Wa: ren’s record with a fine tooth com to find reasons for turning him down, the Senate approved John Sargent for attorney general with no investigation, at all. Not, probably, that there was anything to be found out to his dis- idney action and there’s danger of hardened arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright’s disease.

Disaster, Dawes and Senate Fight Hold Interest of Ceuntry BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer The story of such a’ storm as swept the middle west last week would have monopolized newspaper space for days a dozen years ago. But this one, outside the actual storm belt and its immediate vicin- ity, wag rather subordinated to ac- counts of the Palm Beach fire, which. ‘was news the same day. Pictures of the fire appeared on page one of most eastern papers; Pictures of storm ruin, inside. The only way of explaining this is that the war took much of the hor- rea out of news relating..to loss of fe. Fven on a large seale, it seems, trifling compared with what every- lawyer, which was all anybody ever charged against Warren, So the politicians’ impression very generally is that the old-line Repub- licans were trying to teach the pre- sident how to take a, joke, PROHIBITION President Coolidge admits that prohibition can’t be made effective in commpnities which prefer to be wet. That is to say, he said federal agents can’t suppress liquor retail- ing—it must be left to state\ and city officials to do. He argues that the federal agents’ job is to prevent ‘smuggling and illegal’ withdrawals from govern ment warehouses, but that there can’t possibly be enough of them to stop small-quantity sales—that's a task for sheriffs and policemen. And ‘everybody knows they won't attend to it if the people they live among don’t want them to. “Cook by by.
