EARLY DAKOTA HISTORY
Speech by Hon A. l.. Al at Dedication
the Court House in Yankton, S. Dak Nov. l. 1905.

prefer into the Sioux country as far
as the Yankton villages; near the
mouth of the ST. jacques, or James
river And the trail of those white
men who came within present bouns
diaries of the two Dakotas more than
a century ago, has been pointed out
by a vanguard of pioneers who swept
on into this favored region beyond
the border lands of civilization
On the twenty-frst day of August,
1904, Lewis and Clark passed the
mouth of the Big Sioux river, in
speaking of which their Journal says:
This river comes in from the north
and Us about one hundred and ten
rods wide. Mr.. Durion, our Indian
Interpreter, says THAT it is navigable
to the falls and that its sources are
near that of the Saint Peters dong
Since named Minnesota river. HE
also says that a creek comes in below
the falls from the eastward after pass.
ing through cliffs of red rocks, of
which the Indians make their pipes.
And the necessity of procuring that
article has introduced a law of ma
tons, by which the place is sacred,
even tribes at war meet there at
those quarries, which possess the
sacred right of asylum" This infor.
nation from Lewis and Clark shows
that Durion possessed knowledge R
the character Of the country extending
eastward to the Mississippi river.
The explorers reached a point Of
land near Yankton ON the twenty
eighth day of August, remaining there
at that eneampment until September
first, treating with the Yankton Sioux
among whom Durion lived
Their historian gives an interesting
account of a visit to the main Indian
village, which was located one mile
west of the present town of Mission
Hill, near the ancient earthworks Of
an extinct race known as the Mound
Builders" on the summit OF
a terrace hill, bordering along the
Missouri Valley at a strategic point
where it turns up the James river.
Three distinct traces of a pre-his-
toric race are found, where in the dim
vista Of past ages a semi+civilized peo-
pile lived in a fortified village of large
dimensions
The primitive inhabitants of that
village disappeared centuries ago, his
mortal remains has turned to dust,
and the name of his race is lost, but
the work of his hands yet remains,
enabling us TO conjecture ON the exit
of a lost nation. y #
If the geologist can restore the
form Of an animal belonging to am ex-
tinct race of quadrupeds, from the
discovery of a single fossil bone, why
should not we with fragment Of
ancient pottery. reconstruct the en-
tire vase. and then rise to some defin-
lite conclusion as to who was its max
er, thus establishing a plain and prac-
ticaa distinction OF the successive ages.
First That of stone.
Second The age of bronze.
Third-And last, the iron age.

Christmas.

Yesterday was celebrated hereabouts
in conservative manner. 1t was gen.
cr.l holiday, and both young and old
epioyed all the features of the occasion -
the elders in minglng with their friends
in social intercourse, and the juveniles
in enthusiasm over new toys and other
remembrsnces.
The churches had average congrega-
tons and the music programmes were
carried out in full and were we'll rey-
dered. During the day social calls and
family gatherings we're in evidence. AT
noon the members of Old Dominion
Commandery, Knights Templar, gath
cred in the Masonic Temple and drank
TO the health of the most eminent grand
master of Templars of the United States
Comparatively few persons in the city
showed the effects Of tarrying long with
the wine, and cases of disorderly conduct
were rare. and they of minor nature.
Mayor PATS order forbidding the dis
charge Of cannoncrakers was generally
observed, although the ''salutlng pislof
was used sd libiium. On south Patrick
street youngster named Grover, who
was armed with one of those dangerous
playthings, placed shot in the weapon
and discharged it. The shot struck q
little boy named Melville Zones on the
head, INJECTING a serious wound. A
physician had to be called to the aid OF
the boy. A city ordinance forbids the
sale of toy pistols but it scenes that the
law is more honOred in its breach than
in its observance.
