The Stars and Stripes.

The 'Stars and Stripes" afford yet
another instance of the adaptability
Of the Anglo-Saxon race.
Like our Union Jack, the Amer
ican flag is thing OF slow growth;
taking its origin in the distant past,
even yet it is not definite. Much
poetical nonsense has been penned
about the American "red, white and
blue" We have been told that the
red represents blood shed in defence
OF the nation, that the white stands
for liberty, and the blue for hope in
the future. AS matter OF TACT, the
three colors are sentimental tri-
butte to the past, proud claim to
kinship,
In the early Colonial days the flag
used was the st. Georges ensign,
sometimes adorned with the Royal
crown aud monogram; then the
first British Union flag, a combina.
tion of the English red and white
and the Scottish blue and white.
The local element was represented
by green pine tree, or globe dis
playing the Western Hemisphere.
Hence the Colonials derived their
colors. When the unfortunate
family tiff began, the local troops
gathered round variety Of flags.
Sometimes the flag was red, some
times white, sometimes blue. AS a
rule, however, the cross OF St.
George was retained; though not
always, for one popular banner
represented rattle-snake on red
ground: "Don't tread on mel"
Then George Washington, some
what exercised at the laxity, or want
OF uniformity brought forward a
new proposal. He suggested white
flag, decorated with green fir tree,
and the motto, San appeal to
Heaven" and these colors were
flown by the local navy. Still, much
doubt was shown, Colonel Moul.
tries blue flag with a golden cres.
cent proving rather attractive
Nevertheless, it was felt that was
too great a departure from time
honored devices, and under the
auspices of Washington, commit
tee evolved fine device, based on
the Union Jack aud the East India
ComPany's flag.
1t was decided that the ground OF
the flag should be divided into thir,
teen horizontal stripes, alternately
red and white, thirteen being the
number OF the States acting in con
cert; while the Union Jack, which
told fattering tales of grand past
was reinstated. After this there were
a few Emergencies, but not many
the chief one, perhaps. being the
white flag with crossed sword anc
staff, the latter crowned with a cap
of liberty, and the words "Liberty
or Death" which was seen at the Bat
tie of White Plains, October, 1776.
In June, 1777, came a decided
rupture. 1t was decided, "That thu

II the Legislature desires to have
the reputation Of honesty and inde-
pendence let all the important re-
ports Of the standing committees be
printed, and let the taxpayers have
access to them. The Marshals
Office is accused OF being conducted
in manner which, if it were true,
would be disgrace. Let the peo-
pie see the report OF the expert"
and perhaps everything can be ex-
planned. There should be no under
handed business in government af-
fairs, and any committee which at.
tempts to shield any official or de-
partment should be "sat on" and
any committee which attacks an Off
cial or department without reason
or justice, should be dealt with in a
similar manner.

Railroad Work to Commence.

AT a meeting of the stockholders of the
Portland, Vancouver & Yakima Railroad
company, held at the head off &c in Van
couver last Saturday, it was decided to
increase the capital stock of the company
from $4,000 to $250,000. This is the
first big step toward the construction OF
the line to Yakima. As soon as the sur
veyors complete their field notes OF the
right-of-way for the recent survey OF 20
miles of extension, bids will be invited
for the construction .of that much, after
which surveyors will be put in the field
to complete the right OF way through to
North Yakima. The completion of this
road will open up immense bodies of
timber in the vicinity of Nito, st. Hell
ems and Adams, and also big coal fialds
near Mount Adams, to say nothing OF the
great agricultural districts of KIickitat
and Yakima counties.
