BITS OF FLAG LORE.

The simple stripping of the red and
yellow in the flag Of Spain was suggested
by the arms of Aragan.
The strangest flag under which mar
ever fought is that of the Macedonian
insurgents. 1t is red on one side and
black on the other.
The crescent, noon and stars were
adopted by the Turks as their device on
the capture of Constantinople by Mo.
manned II. in 1853.
The white cross on the red field of the
Swiss flag has a religious meaning. II
was adopted as an appeal to heaven in
1889, when the stout Swiss fought and
won one Of their greatest battles.
Peter the Great, it is said, borrowed
the idea of the Russian flag from the
Dutch, among whom he learned ship.
building. He simply turned the Dutch
tricolor, red, white and blue, upside
down.
In compliment to William, prince OF
Orange, their great leader, the colors OF
the house of Orange were adopted by

orange, white and blue; but nobody
knows how, in the centuries since, the
orange became changed to red.

Build New Bridue.

County Judge o. M. Corkins and
Commissioners Wilson and Mcdonald
met last Friday with the Union Co.,
officials and a representative of the 0.
r. & n at the site of the WallOWa
bridge, to discusc The proposition of
building the new bridge up nearer
the mouth of the Minam. The rail-
road company offers $500 toward the
cost of the bridge if it is built there,
so as not to conflict with their right of
way on the north side of the river.
AS yet it mas not been ascertained
whether or not this amount is suffi-
cient to cover the additional expense
which the building at the proposed
new site would incur and the offer of
the o. r. & N. has not yet been ac-
cepted. If it is found that $500 is in
sufficient to cover the extra expense
the railroad will be asked to sub
scribe such an amount as will be nee
essary for this. Judge Corkins in
forms us that in all probability the
new bridge will be built of steel. A
temporary wood bridge will be built
during the next two weeks to serve
until the new one is built-Wallowa
