That thia dUceruing spirit will aurvhe ia awured Lwf wort of patriotic demotion, tj 'ia berf-hold Monuments are milestones marking the progress of history. Some are colossal piles like tbe sphinx and the Pyramids that standi amidst the gloom aud ashee of a dead civilization, challenging the Intelligence of the centuries to unlock their secrets and solve their mysterious riddles. Some are noble temples with gilded domes and shining minarets and polished onyx and marble, like the Taj Mahal, marking the resting place oi the favorite princess of an Indian potentate.

Some are colleges and universities of learning commemorating the gltt I philanthropists who have sought f.o convert their millions into something that would-bring the torch of Intelligence to the pathe of those' who would otherwise be denlad. Some" are statues Ot bronze perpetuating -the form and features ot great men that those wno see may feel sUrred within ambition's lofty purpose to achieve. Ail these are useful, if they be not all accounted worthy." for thex, bid tbe ceni-riet to pause and consider, It may be, to emulate, the better1 Alio to take warning of those influences that have proved false and untrue and caused the nations to crumble that knew not God. Thia modest monument unveiled -f would have toafsaome of his richest poseesaiona, Marking these overland- emigrant trails is historic, edueatloaal and Patriotic. This boulder not placed here for the present alone, but.

for all future time, to point out to coming fen. eratlons the road traveled bv the intrepid explorer, who Dialed the way for the future settlement and development of this western homeland. Where once stretched a vast wilderness one sees th homes of the prosperous and contented productive larm land, thrifty, euterprising towns and cities. 1 "The Union Pacific railroad 'has granted permission to plaf? this granite boulder In thia beautiful park over which trailed tbe emigrants. "Lewis-Clark chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, rejoice that It has the pleasure of presenting to tbe city of Fremont, thru its mayor, this beautiful- marker, trusting it AU.orerer keep tie memories of the past, linked with the ever advancing grogresa of the present and the future." -response was' giten by Mayor George F.

Continuing. Mr. Woli said that the people of Fremont should be more than glad to have the marker and It would add to the honor of the city which Is also fortunate to be on the ocean-to-ocean transcontinental automobile route.

Sirs. C. 0. Norton, state regent, followed with a short address in which she spoke of tbe undertakings of tbe organization. She was followed by Prof.

Ausplre. The old emigrant trail through Fremont traversed by the caravans of praiiie schooners of the early day! by the people who havo settled the western states was marked today, when a beautiful boulder dedicated by the Lewis Clarlt chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was unveiled in the Union Pacific park Just west of the I'nion station, on Main street. This spot was selected by the local chapter as 'he most fitting place to be found and where the most peo-' pie were likely to see It and still have It located on the old trail. Old" settlers were consul'ed regarding the trail followed by the "Westward Ho" caravans and all that the location was as nearly a -correct one as could be found that was unoccupied hy buildings. The time selected by the chapter for the unveiling exercises was made with a vtew-of not being Interfered with by the passing of trains and 2 o'clock was made the time for the opening of the Impressive program.

A half hour before that time a salute was fired by May cannon and from that time until 2 o'clock there was a steady stream of people toward the Union station and when the program was opened the street adjoining the park was filled with a throng gathered to witness the ceremonies. The stone which stands as a monument to the early travelers across the continent is a handsome rough boulder of fed ruble Wisconsin granite and is sIk feet high, three feet thick and four feet wide. It was furnished' thru Hodges 4 Baldwin, and the. lettering was done In the firm's plant 'In this city. The inscription upon it is as follows: Thin Boultfer Mark The Overland F.nilnrant Trail Through Fremont To Oregon, California, Clan and Colorado.

Finally they reached the mild Pacific in the presence ot a wealth of wild fiowera that gave a fragrant and regal welcome to these travel-worn, tho exultant strangers from afar. Then they retraced their journey mid atill other perils, going back to civili zation rlth tbe great ntrthw.t wrenied from the realm of cbujectura aud-wrta- the seed- of- civilization sown In savagry, reaching 8u Louis on" this 18i). On historian summing up- their work says: themselves, Lewis and Clark termed a very email part of the forces tbaf ttake aml-anwak mttlons and ret that expedition' meant more to.

the world than the field of Waterloo.7 'Then in later years this uekdowg West waa penetrated by other, y-igera. These were tkosh who came In the Nee ta of the whit argosies ot the prairies. Here came a river hearing on Its crystal bosom the aaeltea snows of the distant, mountain out ot the west toward the rising tun and on to the tea. tp thia broad valley midway north-and south of our wost-ern. empire lay a route to the west Tbe wagon trains found it and made a trail thru the very heart of the desert.

Off yonder to the south, beginning at Aid St. Joseph and Independence, was blazed a trail leading to Oregon. In 1M6-7 this, too, was pulling with life. Misaourlans, Kan-tuck ians and Mormons -thronged It, to pioneer la the faf' iorthwest. Along the Blue and over the -divide to the Platte that trail and thia fere merged at Fort Kearney.

Into the vaatnees and, wilds of the West these, two poured their human But thia ene is the object of our particular Interest today. We may properly pass In review, brief at beat, some-oLthe throngs thaLJiave made thia thorotare. We do not know the first to tread it. It may have hpea by Spaniards cqmlpg UP from tie land of the Aztecs. It may' have been by French huntan and trappers, for they were the earliest known white Invaders-of these wild apacea.

Tbe rising of th Mormon sect created a peculiar people and a problem. Tbe Mormons had founded' a city at Nauyoo. Illinois. But by reason of their violations of the usages of society and of their defiant attitude toward state and national authority, they were ordered out of Illinois at the point of a bayonet. Their melancholy fate waa proof that there ia no rest Tor the wicked.

In 1846 these people, forced into exile), began a long and weary marcn. Fifteen thousand victims of. capable aBd cunning met formed a spectacular and pitiable profession of wan-derera seeking 4 place to liy their aching heads. Thia. army, driven out In the cold of winter, suffered The entire aummer was required to transport It to the.

Missouri river. A winter's wait and suffering there, and the weary march again. Op this valley of the Platte- they cama, a long and motley They travelled th to-trail. It then led them Into the "Great American desert." At the end-of It the rainbow of promise was to span fair skies, But, alas, to most of them the promises ware broken. The atory ot that march It a part ot the tragedy ot a nation 'a growth.

Hostile Indiana, poverty, privations, starvation, fatigueail these were foea to be fought, And lonely graves made on the barren hills were the aep-ulchera of buried hdpea. These deluded people, whatever may be aald of their moral turpitude, wrought wonders ot material achievement In the desert's heart. They struck the rock, water gushed and the desert bloomed. Afterwards other thousands followed, proselytes ot missionaries among the Old World's poor. After these the "tS-era," those bold adventurers la quest of gold.

Then tbe latter day settlers whom we have' In the Sixties the wagon train yielded to the modern highway oi iron and steam. Steadily this pule ing stream grew until now it Is great flood pouring Into the basin of the continent over one of the molt superb railways of the 'world We have aet a atone toda? In re membrance of a primitive hiovemeut of oeonuv Before this granite cruin hlea or Is covered with the debris dt centuries slowly rising -to engulf it, iNoaiill proclaim to millions a thrill ing charter in tne expansion or a mighty natlo. Our fondest hopes may well be that the Successors of those who passed here to take pos session of I wilderness may aver have In fullest measure the virtues neces sary to the perpetuation of our holoved country long after thts granite haa disappeared.

Mr Hawthorne spoke briefly explaining why the trail marker had been placed on this He said that the western Crossed the Elk horn river east of Fremont and trav eled directly west past the spot now occupied by the monument to a camp ing ground which waa about a mile west of what Is now' Fremont.

It does not commemorate a conflict at arms, tho it be possible that about this spot may have been waged san guinary battles between SHvage hordes whose history melts away In to dimmest tradition and untpld story, toward tbe twilight -of crea tlon. If does not mark a spot of any kind, it only Indicatea a line along which moved an Impulse and a procession that helped to civilize and people a great empire; that re claimed a vast and chaotic waste on so large a plan aa to literally trans form tbe face of the world.

la It any wonder, then, that these patriotic women, moled with teal to commemorate a great human pana-rama, have fetched hither from distant granite hills an entablature to mark an old-time current and thai they have bidden if come and share with them the glory, of their work! It Is something, my fellow citizens, to be thus accorded partnership in such a worthy act. This stone marks an old emigrant trail. It is not designed to especially remind- us of any conspicuous and single event. It Is within our knowledge and memories that along this fertile and prosperous valley the "course of empire took its way." This stone is to remind our children and all who come after of that fact in history and td incite all of them to a study of their country's progress and Ita cost in treasure and priva tions. 1 This date was fixed upon because it ia the anniversary of the return to St.

Louis of the Lewis and Clark expedition to St. Louis, September 23 1800, or 108 years ago. It ia not of record that this expedition haa any relation to toll particular spot. It so happens that this D. A.

chapter bears the name of these In trepid explorers and this with tiie date of their return from thw rai journey in to vl veritable terra incog nita gives warrant for ua to con sider for a moment their-Achievement. They were intimately associated with President Jefferson and when be conceived the Idea pl ex tending our national boundaries they were convenient and reliable Instru ments to assist in that mighty enter prise, They were dispatched from Washington to St. Louis to partici pate in the transfer of this vast ter ritory Jrom the Mississippi to tbe Rockies. Jefferson had purchased Louisiana for the bagatelle of 15 mil lion dollars. During three days the riags of Spain and France and tbe United States successively waved their signals ot authority.

This rapid transfer aet the nations agog. It meant that France had defied 8patn by taking possession of this vast domain equalling in area the whole or the United States at that time, transferring it to us, and that she had circumvented England by setting up a rival here that would one day-wrest her laurels from her a marl- time rival, as Napoleon said, 'that would sooner or later humble her power." Br that act of Jefferson's in pos sessing himself of France's claims the Shadow of the mighty Napoleon passed forever front this continent and the dreams ot the president were beginning to come true. 1 Those were days that ante-dated steam and so the rivers were the na tion 'a arteries of commerce, Down on tbe tawny floods of the Missouri came the barges of trappers richly lanes with furs. Lewis and Clark were commissioned to follow this great river to its unknown source. With courage, teal and tremendous dint- cult they groped their way along thia great stream flowing out of the desert.

They disappeared into the unknown and the uncharted wastes Tense with apprehension tbeir friends saw. them melt away into the dim horlvon. Guided by hope and that peculiar Instinct that character izes the explorer they passed on and on Into a far country. It Is believed they dispatched a courier to visit the Pawnees their city on yonder bluff.

Hammond said: In America we have few monuments, and no ruins except our politicians, and we need more of botbi To Lewis and Clark chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, we owe a debt of appreciation and thanks for the presentation and placement of thia boulder of enduring granite. Thia society baa an honorable place among. tbe patriotic of the day. it seeks to keep enkindled the flame of patriotism in the hearts of tbe American people. These women, in whose vein courses the' blood of revolutionary heroes, who by their valor enthroned liberty here and crushed out tyranny, are dedicating themselves to the work of exalting Those who have already spoken today have Indicated this worthy purpose.

The truth of such utterance is confirmed by the massive stone in the presence of which we at this auspicious moment stand. May the virtue of a love of country be as firmly fixed in our hearts as this boulder ia upon its base. May the inscription, "Loyalty" and "Patriotism" be as indelibly graven npon the tablets of our hearts and perpetuated thru, our children, aa is the legend cut upon this Im perishable stone tor the edification and inspiration of those who see it now and of all the vast host of those vet to come In the unborn rears.
