1910, on Capitol Hill as Bismarck, North Dakota. The grave of Sacajawea has been located at the Wind River Indian agency in Wyoming and a bronze tablet was unveiled there in March, 1910. Petitions, originating in New York city, have been sent to the secretary of the treasury for a vignette of Sacajawea upon the new bank notes to be issued by the government. The Montana Daughters American Revolution, have a movement on foot to secure a statue, and the Sacajawea Chapter, D. A. R. of Olympia, Washington, are also preparing to raise a monument in her memory. There is also talk of a statue in Idaho, where Sacajawea is supposed to have been born. Other statues have resulted from "The Conquest," among them a fountain to Chief Paducah, by Lorado Taft, erected by the women of the Kentucky town, Paducah, after consulting with Mrs. Dye concerning that notable Indian mentioned in "The Conquest;" also one to Chief Mahaska, in Iowa, and several to George Rogers Clark, and other leading figures in that epic of our national life. In time, Mrs. Dye hopes to see every character mentioned commemorated with a heroic statue by the respective states to which they belonged.
In 1906 Mrs. Dye's third book was published, "McDonald of Oregon, A Tale of Two Shores," recounting the actual adventures of Ranald McDonald, whose break into Japan, where he taught the first school in English, prepared the way for Commodore Perry. After a sale of forty thousand copies, Mrs. Dye's publishers, A. C. McClurg & Company, of Chicago, are preparing new editions of these standard works. Altogether, Mrs. Eva Emery Dye has done more than any other writer since Irving to popularize the dramatic story of the new northwest. She is now engaged upon a tale of "Old Oregon and Hawaii."
HENRY ALBERS.
Along the line of constructive effort Henry Albers has directed his labors and through the development of one of the important productive industries of Portland has come to be recognized as a leading business man of the city, being now president of the Albers Brothers Milling Company. He was born at Lingen in the province of Hanover, Germany, April 13, 1866. His father, Hermann Albers, was a grain merchant at that place and in 1895 came to America, settling at Portland. He was taken ill when en route, so that he did not engage in business here and his death occurred in this city in 1896. He was accompanied by his family of five sons and one daughter: Bernard, who for a short time engaged in the grocery business and then established the Albers Brothers Milling Company, of which he was president until his death in 1908; Henry and William, both of Portland; George, of Seattle; Frank, of San Francisco; and Mrs. Frank Terheyden, of this city. The mother, whose maiden name was Theresa Voss, had died in Lingen about 1878.
Henry Albers was educated in the public schools of his native city to the age of fifteen years, when he began learning the flour milling buisness, in which he has since been engaged. Coming to America in 1891, he was associated with his brother Bernard and with Thomas Schneider in establishing in May, 1895, a cereal mill across the street from their present location. The business was organized as the Albers-Schneider Milling Company. After three years they removed to their present site and a short time subsequent the Albers brothers purchased the interest of Mr. Schneider. In 1901 George. Frank and William Albers, who had been in the employ of the company since its inception, became members of the firm, which was then reorganized under the name of the Albers Brothers Milling Company. Bernard Albers died in 1908, at whch time Henry Albers became president. The other officers are William Albers, vice president; George Albers, secretary; Frank Albers, treasurer; and Joseph Demming, together with
