STERLING MORT1ON'S ADDRESS Many Thousand Trees Throughout the State—Additions to West Lincoln—Capital City RHappenings, Planted | FIOM TR BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| ling Morton, of Ne- passed yesterday in the cap ftal, coming to the city on invitation of State university to deliver the Arbor dress at that institution, rep- ntative of the BEE met My, Morton during the day and a number of facts concerning the meeption and institution of the day were gleaned from the Otoe chieftain, Yesterday was the fifteenth anniyersary of Arbor day i Nebraska and as the day is an outgrowth of Ne- braska, the fifteenth anniversary of the day in the land. At the meeting of the Btate Horticultural society at the oid capitol building in the ¢ity of Lincoln on January 4, 1872, a resolution was intro- duced creating Arbor day, Mr. Morton presenting the resolution. Mr. McMas- ters, of Otoe county, wanted this day called Sylvian day and Judge Mason also favored that name, but the original resolution prevailed and Arbor day was created. Since that beginning on the part of Nebraska twenty other states in the union have adopted” Arbor day and yesterday celebrated it in common with the present day in the planting of trees. In the course of his excel lent, pointed and _ terse ad- dress last eveming Mr. Morton dwelt upon the history of the day and gave many facts concerning its origin and the first years of its observance in Nebraska. Mr. Morton compared tree life with human life, the influences one had upon the other, and the beneficent results at- tending the making even one tree to grow whore none other had _grown be- fore. The decidedly inclement wenther deterred many from attending and hear- ¢ the address, but it was an excellent audience that heard the address and pre- pared thomselves to profit by it. ‘I'ree Planting was the order of the day in the city yesterday, and thousands were added to this already city of trees. ADDITION TO WEST LINCOLN. Yesterday there was filed in the office of the county clerk the plat of the first addition to West Lincoln, the new addition lying between the railroad tracks andpacking houses and the orig- inal town site, and also another tract directly opposite this new tract, on the north side of the town site. 1t is under- stood that these lots will be sold at public auction, and the great demand that has existed the pust three months for West Lincoln lots is in evidence that the sale will be a popular one and largely at- tended.
