WORKING FOR THE MONUMENT
Sons and Daughters of the RevOlu-
tiOn want Lewis-CIaEk Land
ing Marked.

The societies OF the Sons of the Revolu-
tion and the Daughters of the Revolution
are very much interested in the bill intro
duced in the house representatives OF Ne
braska by Loomis OF Fremont to cause the
erection OF a tablet or monument at the
site OF the landing OF l. wis snd Clark for
the first time upon Nebraska soil. This
spot is marked in a plat OF old Fort Atkin-
SON. later Calhoun, which was found in the
papers Of the late o. f. Davis and placed
in the archives of the Omaha public library
by T. L. Perine.
At the present time the landing place is
about a mile from the river, as that stream
has changed its course since the first ex-
plorers made their way up its waters
Lewis and Clark landed there 100 years age
August l. 1903, and there held the first
council aud made the first treaty with In
dams occupying the territory which is now
the state of Nebraska. The hills which
then marked the bank of the river were
the original council bluffs, which term by
a mistake on the part OF those who fol-
lowed the explorers into the west a num-
Der of years later became the name of the
city which was built there.
II is claimed by members of the Sons o,
the Revolution that the bill is opposed by
some OF the members of the Douglas county
delegation and they are attempting to show
these members Of the legislature that the
people Of the city are in favor Of marking
the first historic spot in the state. The
bill carries an appropriation OF 5000.
