ANOTHER FLAG ADDED
TO N. P.'S COLLECTION

Flags everywhere" is the motto of
officials and employees Of the Northern
Pacific railroad these days. There is
a flag flying over every building in
the yards, and in several cases there
are two, three and four flags flying
over the same building. Some Of them
have been purchased by the company
and some of them by the men. but in
every case true patriotism has inspired
the raising of the sea of flags which
float mcrrily in the breeze over the
extent of the Northern Pacific wards.
There are two large flags over the
passenger depot, ono over the car
shops, one at the roundhouse one at
the storcroom and today another will
be raised over the yardmaster's office
Poles are being erected for two flags
at the Northern Pacific hospital, and
these will be raised as soon as they
are received.
The ceremonies at the 3artlma sters
office viii be held at 4 O'Clock this aft
ernoon. w. W. Berry and s. II. Draper
will be the speakers Of the day, while
a firing squad will take part in the
event.
