WHERE ARE THE OLD COLORs
Governor Mead Is Seeking Flag
Of Territorial Regiment.
DESIRES TO FIND INTERESTING RELIC
If ANY ONE HAS INFORMATION
1T WILL BE GRATEFULLY
RECEIVED.

Where are the colors of the First
Washington Territory Volunteer in
fantry? Anyone who knows the
answer will confer a favor on Gov
ernor Mead by letting him know. He
has been conducting a search for
these interesting relics for some time
past, but as yet has obtained no
clew.
The average citizen of Washing
ton perhaps does not know that Wash
ington territory contributed a regi-
ment to the Union army during the
civil war. It was authorized by order
of the war department October Is,
1861. BY the winter of 1928 the reg
iment was completed, had head
quarters at Vancouver, where Col
Steinberger was commanding officer
Of the garrison, and had companies
stationed at Steilacoom, Walla Walla
and Colville. Then, January 6, 1868,
the legislature of the territory appro-
priated $500 to purchase a set of col
ors for the regiment These were pre-
scented.
During the civil war the regiment
did service along the whole Pacific
coast, taking the place of regulars,
holding the Indians in check and doing
really valuable service. Eventually, at
the close of the war, it was mustered
out
In January, 1867, the territorial
legislature adopted resolution thank
ing Col. Steinberger, DR.. Steinberger,
his brother, regimental surgeon. Capt.
W., M. Knox, and Hon. Elwood Evans,
then secretary of the territory. for
their efforts in securing the return of
the colors. after muster out, to the
territory, and directing the secretary
of the territory to procure a suitable
case for them and preserve them.
But it is apparent the resolution was
premature, for it does not appear that
the colors ever We're received. Pho
neers in Olympia who have been in
terviewed know nothing of them. l..
W. Pratt has made Investigations in
Tacoma and has interviewed the wild
ow of Elwood Evans, and Charles
Evans, a son, and they have no recol-
lection of the colors ever having been
received. DR.. T. F. Kane, president
of the University of Washington, and
Edmund s. Meany have investigated
in Seattle without result.
Gov. Mead has now written to Sena-
tor Piles asking him to investigate in
Washington and see if the cOlOrs are
there with the war department, as
many such colors are, and, If so, to
procure their return to the state of
Washington.

he was taken sick and soon passet
into comatose state, from which HI
never rallied but passed away at eigh

the crops
THE wheat crop in those six states,
in which L have personally made inveS-
tigatfon, will be magnificent. In each
instance it will be of a remarkable size
and the quality will be the best that L
have ever seen. Kansas this year is
going to produce wheat crop of about
90,0O0,000 bushels. Last year it pro-
duced S7,OO0.OO0 bussels, but that viii
easily be surpassed this year, judging
from a careful estimate by counties
which was based in part on thrashing
returns.
THE corn crop is in splendid condi-
ton. 1t has had plenty of moisture,
and. given n month or so of good warm
weather, it will turn out exceptionally
well. In Kansas and Nebraska a corn
crop on as large n scale as ever before
is practically assured. Iowa will pro-
duce 350,OO0,0O0 bushels of corn and
possibly 355,000,000 bushels. In Mis-
souri,, with the exception of four coun-
ties in the northeast, all the counties
will have great corn crops. With the
splendid corn prospects SO near realiza

Advocates of the restora ton of the

sentiment alone should be the primary
handspring for the inauguration of the

the proposition Is once brought before
