california,s Historic Flag.

Locked up in the vault of one of the
banks at Redding, CAL, is flag tina.
is second in historic Importance to Cal
ifornians only to the Bear flag that is
so jealously guarded by Pacific coast
pioneers. The flag referred to is the
ono that Gen. Fremont unfurled from
the summit of the Rocky mountains in
1841, when he and his small party were
on their way to California before the
Mexican war. The banner is the prop
erty of p. M. Reardon, managing di-
rector of the Bully Bill mine at Della
mar. 1t was given to him a few years
ago by Mrs. Fremont herself 1t was
made by her own hands on the eve OF
her husbands pathfinding expedition tt
the west. The flag differs from the or
binary emblem only In the field, on
which is wrought a large American
eagle, done in embroidery of great del
icacy and beauty. About the eagle ara
clustered the 26 stars that in 1S41 rep.
resented the states in the union. On
the reverse side of the flag is pinned
a silk scarf bearing the inscription ir
golden letters, Rocky Mountain, 1S41.
The bafner is in fairly good state o!
preservation, considering its age.

ROAD BUILDING.
What the Nation Has Done in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines
Should Be Done Here.

The government of the United
States has built highways in Cuba,
in Porto Rico and the Philippine is
lands, and congress is even now pre-
pairing to appropriate money to blaze
the highways and establish means of
communication in Alaska. But the
astonishing fact remains that the gov
ernment has taken no substantial part
in building highways at home, and
helping the people who sustain it, and
furnish it the very sinews of exist
ence as government, although it is
not forbidden by constitutional limi-
tation or sound public policy from
engaging in such internal improve
ment. Intelligent men all over the
country know that the almost uni
versal lack of improvement in our
road conditions is directly referable
to the fact that there has been no
established system or policy pertain
ing to the question. According to the
ordinary schemes for road building
the farmers have been compelled to
pay the burden of the cost. Road
building is undoubtedly duty of gov
ernment. Government is established
for the welfare of the people. Moth.
| ing that can be evolved from the brain
of man will more directly affect ma
terial interests among the people than
road conditions, for good or bad as
the roads are good or bad. The
question is one coming home to all
the people. The proposition embodied
| in the BroWnloW good roads bill is
undoubtedly wise and thoroughly
patriotic one. Congress is being
looked to for relief in this road mat
ter. The people are now aroused as
they have never been in favor of this
suggested system of cooperation, aided,
fostered and led by the general gov
ernment The money that has been
expended in the Philippine islands
money gathered as taxes from our own
people-would have constructed a sci
entific system of roads in every state
in the union. The people are study.
ing about the question of government
levying tribute ON them for the sup
port and betterment of other peoples,
while relief is denied to them at home
The subject is assuming the practical
phase that will lead to legislation such
as the Brownlow-Latimer bill, or some.
thing similar thereto.

A PLUcKY DASH.
Gen. Ripley Tells of the Heroism Of
His Handful of Men and Great
Victory They Won.

Gen. Ripley. whose recent death
removes another well-known figure
from the rapidly thinning ranks of the
civil war veterans, was one of the
earliest among Vermont men to re-
spond to the first call of President
Lincoln. His company was the old
Rutland Light Guard, and he afterward
had command in the First United
States Sharpshooters. In Vermont
Rifemen" the general tells of a bold
charge of that gallant company.
A great sovereign once addressed the
general of his army thus: 81 send you
against the enemy with sixty thousand
men," But" protested the general,
there are only fifty thousand" "Ah,
but count you as ten thousand" was
the monarch's reply.
In the same spirit each man of COM
pany F agreed to call his comrade
equal to two. SO while their numbers
were not large, they counted them
selves a strong body, and they dared
to make brave assault on the foe at
the Rappahannock.
The enemy, in strong force, was oc-
cupying rifie-pits on the opposite

banks, and the union soldiers were
sent out to attack them. The sharp
shooters were in front, but 1t was soon
found out the nemey could not be
driven away by simple rifle work; and
the regiment was ordered to make a
close attack. The skirmishers went
irst, followed by the sharpshooters
and other companies.
The men had to wade through the
open stream, waist-deep, exposed to
the full. deliberate fire of the conceal
ed foe. The lines were carefully form
ed, and at the sound of the bugle the
regiment dashed forward into the cold
rapid water and struggled to the op-
posite shore.
When the bank was reached. the
lines were broken and the soldiers
scattered In their efforts to escape the
hot fire. But the sharpshooters press
ed on, passing the skirmish-line. The
captain of company F, just promoted
to his command. led the way until he
stood on the very edge of the works
overlooking the enemy within, o.
whom he demanded instant and com
plete surrender.
He was far in advance of his, men
and the enemy, at first taken aback b!
the very boldness of the demand, nov
seeing him, as they thought, unsup
ported, refused to surrender, but callet

company, which, from its daring, the.

A RELIC OF GEN. WHEELER
Old Muster Roll of Cavalry Companies
Commanded by Gallant General
During Civil War.

Benjamin Roberts, grocer at

the railways in Tennessee and North
Carolina. At the close of the war in
1865, when the confederate armies
lot of this regiment to take charge of
the horses and supplies of the cavalry

the papers handed over by the confed-
crates was this muster roll, which is
one of very few in existence.
The roll is that of company G, Ninth
battalion, Tennessee cavalry, under
command of Capt. A. A. Lipscomb.
Out of A remaining members % are
shown by the roll to have been either

BRAVE DRUMMER BOY.
The Youthful Stuff Out of Which Some
of the Best Soldiers Of the War
Were Made.

In 1861, while on recruiting service
in small town in the central part of
Pennsylvania, writes Col. Norris, in
the Philadelphia News, fine-look-
ing, open-faced, stout little fellow
came to me one day and asked in
manly but beseeching way IL l didn't
want a drummer. 81 amt big enough
for a soldier, but won't you let me
drum for your" was his anxious ques-
tion. go home and have your mother
write me a note that you can go, and
will take you," l replied. "She can't
write, sir" was his response, and as
he spoke he hung his head, "but If you
will ask her l know she will let me
drum for you," and as he raised his
head his bright eyes flashed at the
thought.
Struck by the lads earnest manner,
went to his humble home, and big
tears rolled from his mothers eyes
as she gave her consent and, patting
him on the back of the head, told him
to be a good boy, to be true to his
country, love his mother and fear God.
How proud the little fellow looked
when clad in the army blue and his
big drum hung about him. A few
months developed the stripping, and
he grew stronger and taller. In our
first fight l found him with the COM
pany at the front instead of the rear,
where he ought to have been, and
when ordered back 1 noticed his re-
luctance to go. A few days afterward
he begged permission to enter the
ranks and take gun. II am big
enough to fight, and I ought to-" was
his chiyalrous remark as a musket was
placed in his hand A month after
ward the drummer distinguished him
self for coolness and daring in the
second battle of Bull Run. In every
engagement he displayed the same
conspicuous gallantry. Foremost in
every charge, among the last to leave

ate shot in the whole company, always

ments bright and shining, erect, man.

FOR THE GOOD OF PENDLETON

Tne bank fight which is being Bit
terlv waged in this city over the pos
session of the Umatilla Indian funds
should be brought to a speedy end fog
the good Of the town.
If the fight is kept up the govern
ment will take the entire fund and the
entire Indian business away from
Tendleton.
The East Oregonian is not interest
ed in the bank fight to any extent
whatever, except so far as that fight
threatens the business interests of the
city. 1t would be disastrous to all
the banks and all the business enter
prises Of Pendleton if the government
should become disgusted with the Bit
ter fight made over possession of the
Indian funds and remove the entire
business of the reservation away from
this city
To avoid such a business misfortune
the East Oregonian asks the Com
mercial association. the business men
and the residents of the community
to intercede, to put ain end to the
lamentabl- fight now in progress.
Let us build up instead of tearing
down Let us deal fairly and justly
ap5 u.,rl, I,orp,bpiourl,. for tho ad-
vqncement of Pendleton. rather than
engage in such disastrous and unfor-
tunate struggles as this fight is COM
ing 10 be.
As to the charges of grating, the
Fast oregonian is not the inquisitor
nor the judge. That is for the de-
partment Of Indian affairs to investi-
gate. But as a member of the busi-
ness circle of Pendleton, the East
Oregonian says emphatically that II
deplores the condition now found ir
banking circles in this city.
The condition will result in driving
legitimate business away from the
city. Patrons of banks will not b,
haF;assed nor coerced and before th'
bankers of Pendleton realize it, {
large volume of their business viii
be diverted 20 other towns where con
dtions are more peaceful.
For the eooG of khe town the bank
e,s shodld get together and settle thi
fight amicably. Today is not the las
day It will be necessary to worl
together foi long years In the future
and nothing should be done toda
which will render cooperation i'm
possible in the future.
It is extremely difficult to und
things which are done in haste an
anger.
