New Flag Pole.

The city of Heppner is this week
planting new flag pole on high
eminence at the west end of May
street, threbey replacing, the old pole
which has just been cut down at the
corner OF the First National Bank.
The old pole was raised II years
ago according to Frank Gillian, in
celebration of Dewev's victory at
Minila bay. The movement to get
the pole was started by Frank Gillian
and the late George Conser. They
were ably assisted in their efforts by
other public spirited citizens and
the pole was brought from the noun
tains south of Heppner and planted
with fitting ceremonies.
The new pole was cut near the
coal mines. Jim Gentry superin-
tended the falling and hauled the pole
to town. 1t was then raised by the
efforts of F. N Frye's draw team and
men in the employ of the Heppner
Light and Water 90. During the
rest of the week "old glory will
fy from the top of the new pole.
Long may she wave.

removed on tuesday morning, lively
discussion was INDUCED in by num-
Der of old settlers as to when and by
whom the pole was spliced and plant

that it was planted more than twenty
years ago, as the man who spliced it
has not been in Heppuer for twenty
years or more while the principal 10

maintained that the pole was splced
by the late Jim Roberts and raised to
the position it has since occupied,
during the Spanish-Americn war.

and unquestioned veracity, but their
