PORTLAXD, MAY 24, 1908. 4 PRIZE WINNING ESS AY ON "THE AMERICAlSf : - FLAG" WRITTEN BY PARK PLACE SCHOOLGIRL Composition Awarded Cash Premium of ?20 "by Committee of Oregon Society of Sons of American Revolution. 0TGA HANSON, a student In lh6 10th srade of the Park Place. Clack amas County High School, was awarded the first prize of $20, offered by the Oregon 6oclety of the Sons of the American Revolution for compositions re lating to the Revolution, The third prize was won by Otto Purcell. a student of the same school. Miss Hanson's essay was regarded remarkable by the com mittee, for the depth of patriotic feeling displayed, for the clearness of expression and for .the wide information on history shown. The composition was written in legible and uniform hand, punctuation and spelling being very good. The essay fol lows in full: On hundred and thirty-one years ago this coming June 14. 1908. the American Con gress in aftsirtoii at Philadelphia passed & renolution ataim that "the tia of tha United States shall be 13 stripea. Alternate red and white, and the union of 13 white stars on a blue n-ld. representing a new constellation, th stars to be arranged in a circle." Thus originated the. beautiful flnq we now cail our own. Like srerything else In Nature it is a growth whose history Is xceedlngiy interesting. To the Question. What suzewted the Stars and Stripes, several answers have been given, but the most satisfactory one Is that w are indebted to a blending- of several nags for the design of our own. To trace tta growth we must begin with the national flag of England, our mother country. The banner of St. Andrew, used In Scotland as early as tha 11th cento ry. was blue, charged with a white crow in the form of the let ter X. while the banner of St- George, used In England aa early as the first part of the 14th century, was white charged with a red cross. By a royal proclamation dated April 12. 1700, these two croasea were joined together upon the same banner, forming the ancient national flag- of England. It was this ancient liag of England, called the "KJr.g'3 colors." that constituted the basis f our American banner. Certainly several different flair have been used at different times, but tlifcy were not made a part of tha -Stars artd Stripes. During the eoi.inon wealth, the color of th English fl tg wa; changed, to crimson, end the -two crosses wbl'-ii had formerly taken up "tha whole flag were placed in the upper corner. This was called "Cromwell's flag." and in that form was not accepted by the colonies, which continued to th "King's colors" until 170T. -when they adopted the red flax, But added to it a de vice, of their own instead of the crosses. The first striped flag was flung to the breese and "kissed by the free air of heaven" at Cambridge, Mas., January 2, 3776, at the headquarters fit General Wash ington. It had 13 stripes, alternate red and white, and the united crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a blue field. England alluded to it as "the 13 rebellious atrlpes." But uniting, as It did. the flags of England and - America, It showed that the coionistawere not yet ready to sever themselves from their mother country, and also that they considered themselves an Important and substantial paft of the em pire of great Britain, and demanded nurh treatment and consideration as that relation implied. Besides showing the feeling of the 1 colonists for England, thin flag by lta 13 stripes, made known the union of the 13 colonies; the white declaring the purity and innocence of their cause, and the red giv ing forth defiance to cruelty and opposi tion. We now come to the time whan the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew were taken from the striped union flag and a blue field with white stars was substituted for the symbol of English authority. The first 13 colonics had bound themselves to- ! get her aa the "United States of America. A faw days before June 14, 1777, the date of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes, a committee had been appointed to consider the subject and choose some suitable stand ard for all the troops of the colonies. This committee, of which Washington was a I art. visited Mrs. Betsy Ross, the widow of John Ross, of Philadelphia, and asked her to make a flag for them. She said she would try, and then cuggested that the stars be nve-cornered instead of six-cornered as they had panned. They favored the change and Mrs, Ross made the lag which wafi accepted Ly Congress. Vlin Vermont and Kentucky were ad mitted to the Vntun it seemed .necessary t Toucre to alter the Mug. It passed a bill Iti 1"!4, increasing the number of stars ' and utripea to so as to include these two states. TIi la bill caused considerable debate when it came to the House. Said one wise prophet; "The Hag ought to be permanent. We may go on changing it for a hundred years, and we can never know what our flag will be several years hence.' One representative said the Incoming states , mi glit be offended If a new star and a new stripe were not- added. The bill finally passed July 4. 1700. When in 1816. the subject of the flag again came up before Congrecs. now assembled at "Washington, a committee was appointed to Inquire into the expediency of adding five new stars and stripes to the flag, one for Tennew-ee. aimlttei in 1706: one for Ohio, admitted in 1802; one for Louisiana, admitted , In 1812. and one for Indiana, admitted In 1ST ft. The committee reported in favor of the alteration, but the matter was referred to Captain S. O. Reid, a captain of a privateer who had made himself famous by the capture -. of several British ships. Acting on his a-1-vtce. Congress passed a bill April 4. IRIS, re- .' ductng the number of stripes to the original number. 13, and Increasing the number of t atara. one for each incoming- state, ms-lclng " them form one 'large etar, this arrangement WILL OFFER. GORGEOUS - Pain's "Eruption of Vesuvius' to Be Presented in THE3 story' of Pain's "Eruption of Vesuvius' at Manhattan Beach is a condensation of the Incidents which besan in February, 1WM, and continued with the exception of a few weeks, until t)ie end of May. A beautiful view of the city of Naples, with the blue waters of the bay washing the shores is shown aa the lights go up; in the background looms Vesuvius, ominous and grand. The streets ot the city-are crowded with people; for U 13 holiday time, and although the mountain has given signs of disturbance, the light-hearted Italians are making much of their festival. Most of the peo ple are dressed for the carnival, which is in progress, and there are many pretty srenes, including a Battle of Flowers, in which- the Neapolitan populace, soldiers, dancers and tourists take part. During the carnival there, is a royal salute and presently a troop of Italian soldiers appears, escorting a carriage containing King Victor Emanuel and yueen Helene, who have come to Naples lo learn the truth about the condition of the volcano. As they pass through the throng, the carriage stops and Professor' Matteuccl, with his American assistant, I'erret. is brought forward, presented to the King and Queen and makes his re port, which, of course, is secret. As soon as this is done, the King orders the fes tival to proceed. Two mounted heralds dressed in red coats, white knee-breeches and black velvet cans, carrying long trumpets to which is attached the her ald's flags, enter and proclaim the King's orders. The festival proceeds and the people abandon themselves to the gaiety of the occasion. But there is a little bit of sadness in troduced. From the end of the stage comes a company of friars, carrying lighted candles and chanting the "De Profundls." . They enter the cathedral. These are reaily messengers from the outlying districts, who have come to re port to Cardinal Frisco the true state of affairs. The deep solemnity of the oc casion stills the people for a while, and during this time Cardinal Frisco and Professor Matteuccl and his assistants depart, with the blessing of the priests, the Cardinal for the towns In the threat ened district and the scientists for the Royal Observatory near the crater of the mountain. With their departure the effervescent spirit of the Italian is shown. The peo ple at once plunge back into the jova ot the carnival, and the Battle of Flowers Is continued. Gaily caparisoned donkeys, carrying children on their backs, move back and forth on the stage, and smaller e AUTHOR OF PRIZE - WIXXIXG PATRIOTIC ESSAY.

' Every person la acountable to and for the Government, for whatever a nation Is to achieve or to become depends upon Its citizens. Our flag also means protection for every American who stands under Its folds, elfher at home or abroad. The Honorable William H. Seward. Secretary of F-tate under Lincoln and Johnson, said, that While he and some friends were traveling In Egypt, they no ticed, one day, some men coming after them, and after going a little farther they saw a company of men coming towards them. See ing that these two parties were about to engage in a struggle and not knowing how to get away, they went to the side of the road. Secretary Seward toek an Amer ican flag from hJs pocket and held it above them. It was recognised by both parties and those who sat under Its folds were safe. Our flag Is the symbol of the reign of law. It means law-protected freedom, law-protected labor, law-protected wealth, and law protected happiness. - - -What precious associations cluster around our flag! Under it rode Washington and his army and before It Burgoyne laid down his arms. It waved on the highlands at West Point and floated over old Fort Montgomery. It cheered our Army from New York, on the troops' Journey through New Jersey. It was the comfort of the soldiers at Valley Forge, and crossed the waters rolling with floating ice on that memorable Christmas night Programme for Chautauqua Session of 1908 The programme of exercises for the 15th annual session of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Assembly, which will be held at Gladstone Park, Oregon City, July 7 to 19, inclusive, has been completed.

Then comes the night scene, and with its approach is accentuated the Are and smoke from the restless volcano. The people are stilled once more for a mo ment only. Then with shouts of laugh ter they rush back into their mad rev elry. The carnival is at its height; car riages, floats and grotesque figures fill the stage, and at that Instant the great Feast of Lanterns begins. Hundreds f people pass in Vevlew with every con ceivable kind of lantern, throwing quaint colors on the scene. Flowers and con fetti fill the air. American and 2ngllsh tourists are noticeable in the throng. The procession halts for a time to wit ness a number of specialties in aerial and acrobatic lines. The pantomime portion Ik Interesting and causes much laughter. While the hilarity grows, so does the thunder of the mountain, until there comes a crash which shakes the city. In an instant the people are subdued, and falling on their knees, make suppllcatien for a cessation of the volcanic violence.

And when at ler.gth the long years of war were drawing to a close. Washington sat under Its folds, while Yorktown surrendered and the revolutionary struggles ended with victory. And not only have our brave fathers set up this banner In the name of tiod. over the well-won battlefields of the Revolution and over the cities and towns hlch they rescued from despotic rule; but think where also their descendants have carried It and raised It In conquest or protection. Through what clouds of dust and smoke it has passed what storms of shot and shell what scenes of fire and blood at Lrtindys Lane, New Orleans, Buena Vista and Chapuliopec. Brave hands have raised It above the eter nal regions of Ice In the Arctic seas, aud have set it upon the summits of lofty moun tains in me distant v esi Where has It not gone, the pride of Its friends and the terror of Its foes? What countries and what seas has It not visited and been the herald of a better day? Everywhere on land, everywhere on sea, where the white wings of commerce fly, among all people In whose language the word "liberty" la known, our flag Is respected and honored!. It Is universally respected because it is tMf true emblem of the power of a unit ed people and because it respects principles which are dear to all mankind. In May, 184e, when the Italian tri -color banner was consecrated by the Patriarch of Venice. In that city, the American Consul was the only foreign diplomat invited to be pres ent. In the course of the oeremon lee t he commander of tha troppa called, "Attention; honor the flag of Qbe United States of Amer ica.' At this the multitude shouted their applause with cries of "Long live our sister republlol" The people of all classes and oon di tions, soldiers and civil tana, nearest, em braced the consul, and kissed; the star-spangled banner and pressed It to then- hearts, while the many with moistened eyes, reached their hats through the crowd, merely to touch It. Again, at the beginning- of the. Fmnav Pruesian War. the Crown Prince of Germany passed through Hamburg n his way to the field. A young American girl stopping with her parents at one of the hotels, hung a large American flag from the balcony, and as the Prince passed by, waved her handkerdhlef. Th Prince looked up. bowed, and ordered each regiment as It passed by- to salute the Stare and Stripes. Old Glory has not always represented the great expanse of territory which It does to day, for at the time of Its adoption It waved over but 18 states, while now it not only waves over 46 states and several territories, but over fanes of the sea as well. Today our flag to the flag which the children in the Ptoilipphiew. in Porto Rico and in the Ha waiian Islands are taught to love and respect. Tt Is a far cry from Maine to the Philippines, but In the earth's swift Journey there Is now no hour when the Starry Banner is not kissed by the radiant sun; as It sinks beneath the waters of the Orient seas; the splendor of the opal smd rose illumes a new ''day on the Atlantic coast of proud Anertca, Nor has It always represented such great numbers of people and such wealth. The first census taken In the year 1790. showed the population to be less than 4.000.000. A hundred years later It had increased 16 times, while now it is about 80.000.000. being larger than that of any country of Europe except Russia The Increase in wealth, being still more remarkable than that of the population, Is very remarkable indeed. . Having so steadily increased In possession, population and wealth In the past, future years will find It doing the same, for our flag Is the flag of enterprising people and the Stars and Stripes are. as Indicated by a New York sign painter during the excitement after the fall of Eort Sumpter, "colors which will not run." so that wherever it has been planted, there It has stayed. And Wherever borne in battle, whether through ancient wil derness or on sounding sea, some sacred rlpht of humanity has been secured, whl 1 e wi th song and shout the Nation's heroes follow our triumphant flag around the world. usual Chautauqua forum in the morning, with a reading by Colonel John Mc Craken, a pioneer of 1850. and an address "Duncan, the Apostle of Alaska," by Judge T.

There is a crash and the roof of the market-place has fallen In. , . The horror grows on the people until the mountain seems to burst and spit forth Are, ashes and lava; then all sem blance of order is gone. The buildings of the city fall and the volcano-mad peo ple rush to death amid the falling walls or into the waters of the bay. After the destruction Is apparently com plete, beautiful fireworks, for which Pain Is noted, fills the air for half an hour, to the great Joy of the audience.

In our last bulletin we discussed at some length the function a street railway performs in developing the outlying sections and suburbs of a city and dispersing the population over a wide area. Today we will go into the subject more in detail and show just what the streetcar service here has done toward decentralizing the population. THE CONGESTED WARDS OF THE CITY. Let us look at the growth of the congested wards in the city in re cent years and compare it with the growth of the outlying sections. Even a superficial glance will show that Wards 1, 4 and 6, cover ing, respectively, Willamette Heights, City Park and Portland Heights, have had a far more rapid increase in population than those lying in the older sections of the city, while the wards on the East Side, particularly Ward 8, show a wonderfully large increase in population. Statistics show that the wards in the center of the city in the congested districts have increased but very slightly in the last five years, while the great growth has been in the above mentioned outlying wards. This has been due unquestionably to ' the constantly increased facilities for reaching the outlying sec tions where there was ample room for the erection of beautiful homes, which would have a commanding view of the river and mountains, or, as on the East Side, where "there was opportunity for beautiful grounds and the growth of roses and other flowers for which the city is so well famed. A great increase in population like this could never have taken place if every encouragement had not been given it by ample rapid-transit facilities. - While it is not the duty of a street railway company to build unwisely, and while it should be careful not to be misled by mere land-booming schemes, we feel that we have been right in our policy in leading in the development of the city by-building lines which may not pay for some years, but which will tend to develop a particular section, and should eventually yield the company a return upon its investment. PORTLAND COMPARED WITH OTHER CITIES. - .The character of your street railway service cannot be brought home to yon in a stronger or more forcible way than by a compar ison of our mileage with that of other cities proportioned to the population. The following table compares Portland- with various other cities. Glasgow, Scotland, is selected because it is so fre quently pointed put by the advocates of municipal ownership as the ideal city: N . Miles of Population Miles Track Street Per Mile Per 1000 Population Railway of Track Population Portland 175,000 . 126 1389 .72 San Francisco 342,000 258 1326 .75 , 'Indianapolis .. .... 219,000 136 1610 .62 Louisville 226,000 150 1506 .66 .Oakland... 200,000 161. 1242 ,8 Rochester 186,000 159 1170 .".85 Memphis f... 125,000 100. 1250 v - .8 -Glasgow J.... 809,000 135 . 5992 . .-. .166 " Look at Glasgow 1 It is pointed to with pride as the Queen City by the theoretical advocates of Municipal Ownership,, and yet Glasgow, with over seven times the population of Portland, has but 7 per cent more trackage, while Portland has nearly, seven times the trackage of Glasgow per 1000 of population.. Think of it! Suppose the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company should pull up more than six-sevenths of its track. . How near to your homes would the majority of yon be able to ride in the evenings? How quickly and conveniently would you be able to get from one section of the city to another? And, on the other hand, wouldn't the company cut down its operating expenses immensely? We do not think the American public would stand very long for Glasgow or the Glasgow policy. ' Philadelphia, which has over 14 times the population of Port land, has but one-third the trackage per mile of population, while New York (Manhattan and Bronx), with nearly. 2iy2 times the population, has about one-fifth the trackage of Portland per 1000 of population.
