Albany Location
Offered State Board
Albany The Albany Cham
ber of Commerce is inviting the
Oregon state board of education
to move its headquarters office
to Albany on the chance that
Portland may yet be definitely
decided. The local organization,
through its president, Raymond
Barrett, addressed a letter to
Edgar W. Smith, president of
the state board, apprising him
that the Albany chamber has
learned of the prospective
change and would like consider
ation as the future site of the
office.
The letter states that "there
could not be a more convenient
location than Albany as it is
near the two state institutions
and is conveniently located as
to the population of the state.
Also, the homelike atmosphere
of the community would make
Albany attractive to those of
your staff who would make
their homes here."
Silverton Realty

Historic Flag Is Displayed by George Simons of -Lebanon,
son of wagon train pioneers. Handmade by his mother in the
winter of 1862 on their Linn county donation land claim, it
is raised by him on Independence day and also on Memorial
day at the Sand Ridge cemetery where his parents are buried.
There are 36 stars sewed to the field of blue. Simons believes
that the 36th star was placed there by his mother for the
territory of Nevada whose admission to the union was then
a foregone conclusion. (Photo by Miner studio)
Historic Flag Displayed by
George Simons of Lebanon
Lebanon, July 2 As has been his custom for many years
George Simons, son of one of Linn county's first families, will dis
play on Independence day at his Lebanon home, one of Oregon's
historic flags.
It was made by his mother during the winter of 1862, eight
years after their covered wagons-
made its final stop in the bouth
Santiam valley near Scio. Fash
ioned of fine cotton, it has re
tained to a remarkable degree
its original colors. There are
36 stars in its field and every
tiny stitch is hand sewed.
This flag was first publicly
displayed at a Fourth of July
celebration l n Brownsville l n
1863. Unaware of the epic dra
ma being played to its end on
the distant Gettysburg battle
field, George Simmons' father,
Emmet Simons, with his- own
family and that of his brother,
David, set out that day for the
frontier celebration. The flag,
attached to a long pole, was fash
ioned to the front of their wag
on, as was the custom of those
days, all men of the party were
armed.
To reach Brownsville trail, it
was necessary for the Simonses
to drive through the field of a
neighbor, well known for h i s
strong Confederate sentiments.
As David alighted to lay down
the fence rails, the neighbor.

Hops of Possible Value in
Treatment of Tuberculosis
Independence, July 2 Hops, longtime adjunct to the brew
ing industry, may find a new use in the treatment of tubercu
losis.
If federal research work now
in progress continues to prove
successful, best quality Oregon
hops may find new market out
lets through the medical in
dustry, G. R. Hoerner, OSC ex
tension hop specialist, believes.
He bases his belief on the fact
that two complex organic color
less acids, not found elsewhere
in nature, lupulon and humu
lon, have been extracted from
hops at the USDA's western re
gional laboratories in Albany,

Calif., by a former OSC student,
Dr. J. C. Lewis. The two riHs
antihintine eimilai in naninil. (
lin have been used experi
mentally to control tuberculosis
in mice.
Work thus far in California
has been encouraging and lupu
lon appears to have definite
possibilities in the treatment of
the dread disease. Incidental to
the research, it was learned that
both lupulon and humulon re
act to ultra violet radiation in
direct relationship to the amount
of the substances present in the
hops. This offers possibilities
of speeding hop grading by
chemical analysis, Hoerner
states.
Hoerner believes this new use
for hops could easily develop
into a market outlet for the hop
resin, lupulin. Lupulin is the
substance from which lupulon
and humulon is extracted. Large
quantities of the substance are
now wasted in hop drying oper
ations because it is mixed with
sand.
It is emphasized, meanwhile,
that the possible new market
outlet offers no hope for poor
quality hops. Work thus far
carried out by the laboratory
dictates that high, best quality
hops are required.

of you. No man will cross my
land with those colors."
Ernmett Simons said mildly,
Lay down the rails, David. He
can't get but one of us. We are
going across with the flag."
) David laid down the rails. The
angry man did not shoot, and
the wagon rumbled across the
field with the stars and stripes
proudly waving from its head-gate.
The father of George bimons
recorded another episode during
the Civil war years when the
flag was raised at an Independ
ence Day celebration in Water
loo, then a lusty frontier post a
few miles southwest of Lebanon.
On that day another Battle of
Waterloo was narrowly averted
when a roistering celebrant drew
his gun and loudly proclaimed
his intention of shooting down
the "abolition flag." Instantly a
score of men's hands flew to
gun belts or moved toward ri
fles, and the boaster quickly
changed his mind and slunk
back into the crowd.
It's Disgusting
fg yjff
Ml
My brains the few I've aot re
fuse to function this week. I watched
the parade yesterday, trying to get an
inspiration for this week's adv. Being
" in the restaurant business, I was es
pecially interested to see if there were
any horses left saw lots of them
so my mind is ot rest on that score.
About the only idea I aot out of the
parade was if the whole kit and caboodle of them
would parade out to my restaurant and have a dish of
our FAMOUS ROYAL FISH 'N' CHIPS, or any of the
other DELICIOUS MEALS we serve, how much happier
they would be.
Monday is the glorious 4th the day for picnics, fun
and frolic. We are going to work. Charles and myself
will attend to the liquid end of the business until 5 p.m.,
at which time we'll open the kitchen. . Wotta heck of a
way to spend a holiday!
So long until next Saturday,
