GREENWICH, Conn, June Ito
day being Flag Day it has been Sc
lected for the dedication of Putnam
Cottage as a colonial museum under
the charge of the local chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. Governor Rogers, of Connecti-
several ex-governors of the state,
Congressman Hill and Senator Morgan
G. Buckley, of Connecticut; General
James O'Bren, of New York; ex-Sec-
rotary Benjamin F. Tracy, the Rev. r.
S. Macarthur, General o. o. Howard,
and many other distinguished men will
be in attendance and a number of them
will deliver addresses.
The Putnam was for a time General
Putnam's headquarters and there he
was surprised by the British on the
day of his famous ride down the stone
steps. The cottage was bought five
years ago by the late Colonel Henry H.
Adams, Of Greenwich, who induced
other wealthy men to join him in pre-
senting it to the Putnam Hill chapter
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. At about that time the
chapter unveiled the tablet on Putnam
Hill concentrating the Connecticut
generals ride. The cottage has been
thoroughly furnished by the chapter,
which raised $4,000 for that purpose
several years ago. The house contains
many pieces of furniture and other OBJ
iects of great historical interest. 1t
is the intention that the house shall
be used as a meeting place by the
chapter and it is to be open on two
days a week to the general public.

MaIheur Lands Open to Entry.

If was announced some time ago that
the government had abandoned the
idea of constructing the proposed
works on what is known as the NAL
heur irrigation project in Oregon, just
across the line from Idaho, states re-
port from Washington, d. c. There
were so many conditions adverse to the
governments taking up the enterprise
that if was felt it could not be fur
Their considered.
Now the final step has been taken
in connection with the matter when
the secretary of the interior restored
to entry 533,12O acres of land that had
been withdrawn while the project was
being Investigated.
It is the understanding that private
capital stands ready to take hold OF
the project. AS many of the difficult
ties confronting the government In
connection with tracts to be covered

In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IA
Flag Day is generally observed here
today. The stars and stripes are dis
played on all public and many other
buildings; and the city presents a hol-
iday appearance. In all the public
schools special exercises in honor of
the day were held. The most interest
ing feature of today's celebration will
be the formal presentation of the
Betsy Ross house on Arch street,
where the first American flag was
made by Betsy Ross, after a design of
General Washington, for the United
States government. The funds for
the purchase of the historical house,
which is a modest, two-story brick
structure, were raised by the American
Flag and Betsy Ross Memorial asso-
citation. and every cent of the mortgage
on the house has been paid off. The
exercises will take place at the Betsy
Ross house this afternoon. The build
ing will be formally presented by the
president of the Memorial association
to the government of the United States
and will be received to be forever pre-
served as a national memorial. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been invited to de-
liver an address, but that part of the
program may be subjected to change
