| not the most valuable relic to be displayed
| in the parade 1t is the first American flag
made in California, and in all probability
| the first ever made west of the Mississippi
| River. 1t was made for the first Admission
| day parade and has very interesting his
| tory.

| wished to especially distinguish It's Jealous
employe in the parade by having MIN carry
| an American flag, q by no means common
| emblem in country so recently under
| foreign rule. A flag Of manageable size
was not to be had and only ship-hags were
| on the market, at enormous prices. There
was not even material on hand 10 MAKE
| such flag.
After a while a milner was found whose
scrap-bags contained bits of silk and satin
| of coors approaching those required, and
| flag 24X36 inches, double thickness, was
| made. The fortunate seamstress was
| thereupOn presented with a $50 slug. At
| the close of the celebration the flag was
! presented to Mr.. Council, and is handed
down as an heirloom in his family. Mr..
Cornell delivered also at Sacramento the
| first Presidential message received IN ttS
new State. lie it was that brought the first
| gold from the san Joaquin Valley, and
| established the fist coating business on
| the bay.
