One hunlred ) 'earg ago-the morn- 1ng at August 3 , 1804-a party of torty- three white men might have been seen spreading the mainsail at 0. clumsy Missouri river bateau as an awning on 0. little plain above the high water leve ) of the Missouri river , at-the end of a woody ridge about seventy teet high , in Nebrasm ) , sixteen mlles above ' \There , now stands the city at Omaha. 'A little later n. procession at fourteen Indlans-members at the Otoe and Missouri trlbes-wound Its way to the shelter at the awning. They were accompanied - companied by that omnipresent being 1n the region n. bumred years agq-a Frenchman living with a squaw-who acted as interpreter. When all were seated , began the first council at the United States government with the Indian Inhabitants of the Louisiana purchase-first act In the drama at a century of struggle between wblte Americans and red Americans for possession - session at an empire. The representatives - tives at the United States government told the Indians that they were no longer Spanish or French , but Amer- 1cans-a piece at news which we are told gave them great joy. They were promised the protection at the government - ment at Washington , and its advice In the future. In reply the six 9hlets ot the Indian delegation declared 1.Iley -were pleased with the change at government - ernment , that they wanted to trade with the new great father , and especially - cially they wanted arms to detend themselves from their enemies. ( What UtUe cause for pleasure It they had Imown that the change meant to be dispossessed , at thclr homes , and huntIng - Ing grounds. ) At the end of the councn came he presents-a medal hung by a cord placed round the neck ot each of the Blx chiefs , paint , garters and cotn ) , a canister of gunpowder , and t e most significant of all , a bottle ot whlske ) ' ! Thus began the official reatlons ) of the , United States govurnment with the Otoe and Missouri Indians. How prophetic It was of the future let him who cares to k ow read from the last ' . official report at the Indian agent at the otoo and : Mlssourl Indian agency In Oldahoma. Diminished in numbers from 2,000 to 370 , the agent says , "many ot these JXope ! ) are addicted to drlnlt aRd are , both men and women , Inveterate gamblers , the otoe being especially bad about the gambling. No j punishment seems at all to mitigate these evl1s. Their days are spent in almost utter Ideness ) , and worse. for ( , vice an debauchery are rampant. " J The names at three ot these chiefs , have been preserved for us In the r c- ord. 'rhe principal chiefs present were I Shongotongo , or Big Horse , an Otoe ; Wethea , or Hospitality , a l\llssourl , t and Shosguscan , or White Horse , an Otoe. The spot was named by Lewis and Clarle Councl1 Bluff , from the circumstances - stances which there toolt place , and their report ot the council concludes with a recommendation of the location for a "tort amI trading factory. " , Fifteen 'ears after the historic council - cil here described , the first steamboat ( the Western Engineer ) to navigate Missouri waters arrived five rnlles 'be. low the Councl1 Bluff. It carried 1\10.- t jor Long with party of engineers anrl " scientists who were to malee the first scientific survey of the region , ThlE expedition found already at Council Bluff a force of United States soldiers en aged In bul1dlng a fort , afterward called Fort AUdnson. This tort to ! the next eight 'ears was the most ad. vanced frontier post ot the Unlte States army , always having several companies of troops and sometimes more than a regiment. In 1827 the post was abandoned an 11 the troopf moved to Fprt Leavenworth. Some 01 the buildings were dismantled by the troops. Some were burned by Indam [ or hunters. There stiB remained or : the plateau of Councl1 Bluft In 185-1 when the territory was organized aD ! ' , , hlte settlers came In to talte U1 claims , a vast amount at debrls- , brlc1e nnd limestone waBs , bcams anI : timbers. The early seWers haulel this 1I.'ay by the wagon-load to bul1l chlmne's , malto foundations and te curb , veIls , 'et sa great was the quan. tlty that thirty ) 'ears later farmer ! were stili haullng brlcles away. Both these historic sites , that at thl councll at 180-1 and that of Fort At. klnson , are wlth\n \ a few hundred 'ard ! ot the present ral1wa ) ' station at Fori Calhoun.

There are 3GO girls and 3,578 boys , I\ . total ot 7,209 or 21 more children at school age 11 the county than were reported las year. It's a woman's prl.i1eges to chang' ' not only her mind , but her name ai well. cavatlons marltlng the barrace ) cellars , deep pits , once powder magazines , a noble locust grove planted in the early fort days , whoso seeds have given life to a multitude of other locust groves In the state. Every year the farmer's plow and the gardener's ralce reaps a harvest ot military buttons and early coins. Spanish coins ot the seventeenth - toenth and eighteenth centules maleo the buIlt of the crop , showing how close the connection with Spain and how long after American purchase and occupation her mintage maintained Its supremacy. Somewhere-wlthln a few I hundred yards ot this field bearing Its annual harvest of rellcs-Is the spot where Lewis and Clark sat vis-a-vis to Nebraska Indians In the first Louisiana purchase council. No student of the place Is yet bold enough to drive a stake and cry "Eureka. " At the IJ1lse of the plateau ran the river in 1804 and in 1819 , whose wat.ers are now three mites away toward the Iowa bluffs , with marsh and ) alcc and cultivated - vated farms between. In the da's of Fort AUelnson the hIlI above the plateau was occupied by the fort cemetery , where were burled several - eral hundred soldiers an'd others. After the military abandonment the headstones were broken , scattered and lost , except parts at two with the date 1823 , now In the museum of the Nebraska - braska State Historical socloty. Th very mounds themselves were for the most part obllterated , and on the slopes where the rains wash the plow now and then throws out a fragment at a human skeleton. In November , 1901 , J. A. Barrett and A. E. Sheldon , of the Nebraska State Hlstorlca ) society office staff , explorel1 and photographed the teatures of both sites under the gUld mce of W. H. Woods , who has llved on the ground for thirty years and bas a passion for hlstorlca ) work. On our return the suggestion was made that the centen- nla ) of the council ought to be cele- brated. In June , 1902 , Mr. E. E. Blackman - man of the historical society visited the 81t6 and In discussion with Mr. Woods proposed the erection ot a monument. These were the .prellm- inary steps by the Nebraska State Historical - torical society. On the other hand , Ule Daughters of the America. Revolution , Independent of any outaill5U'l'f'f.ion ! , were movIng - Ing In the same directIOn. In the summer - mer of 1899 ladles of the Omaha chapter - ter visited the site of old Fort Atldn- son , were charmqd with Its beauty and associations , and dlrllssed pans ) for erecting a monument to marlc Its 'slte. In the summer of 1901 , Mrs. S. B , Pound" at Lincoln , state regent of the D. A. R. , noted the report of the erection - tion of the Pllte monument In Kansas. This stimulated her zea ) to do the same by the historic sites In Nebraska. fhe : : 'read uphe early records and , finding that the Lewis ao < l Clarle ( I ( 'ouncll was held on the Fort AUdnsol1 plateau , propostJl at a meeting hel In October , 1901 , the project of marle.

"Dut what about 1873 and 1884 ? ye ls the tree trader. We will say that un. der the Merrill tnr ff and war tariffs r we were doing splendidly , until 1872 , _ when it was thought best to malC reo ductlons , and UICSO roductlons were not only on n general 10 lQr ccnt hasls , but many articles were put on the free list. It can bo said , further , that these reductions and transference to the free list came at a very untor. J tunate time , and , aggravated by the money situation , IJro\llght \ about the panic of 1873 , and the business depres. slon which followed. Duties , as a whole , were , however , protective , and under the protection thus afforded we recovered and went onward In the march of prosperity and progress. Dut alns ! In 1883-n'1ere were Repub. IIcans with "Ideas , " and tho. result was compromise , and another vital re. ductlon ot duties , particularly In the r > wool lnl ustn" .
