I'ark, the one owned by the heirs of
J. Sterling Morton and the other by
Nebraska City, are being transferred
to the state of Nebraska. Governor
Charles W. Bryan, as chairman of
the state park board, is the principal
speaker of the day, accepting on be
half of the state the beautif u park

the last legislature.
ADDRESS OF GOV. BRYAN
This is a day to which the citizens
of the state, and especially the people
of Otoe county and of its chief city,
have been looking forward with in
creasing interest for several years
and particularly since the action of
the legislature of 1923. I may say
that ever since the settlement made
by the Ilonoroble J. Sterling Morton,
tli is has been regarded as a spot
worthy of mention.
I need not go into detail as to the
genealogy of Mr. Morton more than
to say that he came of New England
parentage, born April 22. 1832, came

fhould attempt to inform you of his
life and character except to call at
tention to the fact that Mr. Morton's
desire to do for himself and to benc
fit mankind was of a nature to place
him permanently before the public.
On his first entrance to this territory
he became a leader; he established
the first newspaper in the state, call
ed "The Nebraska City News" and he
was appointed secretary of the ter
ritory by Presrdent James Buchanan.
Mr. Morton was an outstanding
representative of his party, independ
ent in thought and pursuing the path
he believed to be right, irrespective
as to whether it received the ap
plause of the populace. Upon the res
ignation of the Honorable W. A.
Richardson, territorial governor, Mr.
Morton, being secretary of the terri
tory, became governor and served ln
that capacity ' from the 5th day" of
December, 1S58, until the 2nd day of
May, 1859.
In this connection it is eminently
proper that I should refer to the fact
that on January 4, 1872. at a meet
ing of the state board of agriculture,
Mr. Morton introduced a resolution
which, among other things, contain
ed the following:
Resolved, that Wednesday, the
tenth day of April, 1872, be and
the same is hereby set apart and
consecrated to tree planting in
the State of Nebraska, and that
the State Board of Agriculture
hereby name it Arbor day.
This was accepted and afterwards
the legislature of 1885 changed the
date and set apart April 22nd. Mr.
Morton's birthday, as Arbor day and

it is so emphasized by a proclama

About tire only thing Nebraska
had ready made to offer was her
broad, uncultivated acres of fertile
soil, which had lain bare for centur
ies. Our farms and houses, barns
and highways, our towns, hamlets
and cities, our schools, homes, col
leges, universities and churches have
been evoked from the soil and are the
results of the industry and sacrifices
of the pioneers and early settlers
and their children and others that
now make up the one million, three

the- wealth of Nebraska is derived

which our state has been built.
If this be true, how necessary that
we preserve the fertility of the soil

the rains and store the snows ot

succeed in doing all that is necessary
but must have the hearty co-operation
of the individual citizen. Ne
