NITELY LOCATED LEWIS
AND CLARK POINT.

Pierre, Sept. 27.-The officers of
the department Of history are taking
some satisfaction in having definitely
determined the location of the Loisel
trading post which was operated in
this vicinity prior to the visit of
Lewis and Clarke. There has been a
great deal OF uncertainty on this
proposition. DR.. Cowes, Ruben Gold
thwaites and the Missouri river com
mission all fixed its location upon
Dorian island, near Big Bend. on the
Missouri. The original journals of
Lewis and Clarke and their map, to-
gether with Capt. Clarke's courses,
distances and references" prove con-
clusively that Ii was located upon a
former island now incorporated with
the mainland OF the east shore, and
very near DeGray postoffice, at the
mouth of Chappelle creek, in Hughes
county.

immigration department was devoted
to looking after the interests of i'm
migrants who are unfamiliar with
American ways.
The immigration department turn
ed Sukulis over to the state legal de-
partment, which, after Investigating
the complaint. wrote the complain
ants in Aberdeen that there was no
procedure under the South Dakota
state law by which the alleged pad
rones could be prosecuted, but that
the attention of Milwaukee ~headquar-
ters at Chicago would be called to
the situation. On a suggestion from
headquarters, Detective Byron Nc
Weigh, formerly United States deputy
marshal for South Dakota, started an
investigation.
According to the statements made
by the compliments, the graft sys-
tenn has been prevalent for some
time. Minas Eccnas says that since
July, 1913, he has been mulcted of
$73 Of his wages; Alex Kippis says
that in September, 1914, he paid $40
to get his job on the railroad, and
that since that time he has paid $31
in monthly payments to retain his
position, or a total of s51; Jim Be
naris says that since July, 1913, he
has paid sS1 in graft money.
Milwaukee officials declare the
matter will be sifted on the bottom,
and that il ii is found that a graft
system really exists in the Greek col
ony here, and that laboring men are
being robbed on the pretext that the
collector has power to get them dis
charged, the g~rafters will be prose
cuted.
