It iB of direct interest to tho residents of Baker county or at the date mentioned Union county comprised all thai portion uf Oregon laying east of the Blue Mountains, and to Eagle Valley residents because the MisH Mar tha Koger who patriotically gave up her riding skirt for the qood of the cause, has been n citizen of tins section for many years and is well known to all as iMrs Martha Clark. Oregonians Raise Flag When Patriotism Required Courage It was in ISM that Lincoln set the negroes free and thfc civil war ! feeling was so intense in some parts of Oregon that the people were closely divided on the Ques tion of patriotism. Many of the settlers, who had lost their for tunes in the South, kept the Con federate (lag in their homes, cher ishing it as dearly us ever. It will also be borne in mind that at this time law and order did not nlwuys prevail out West, 'where justico was frequently ad ministered more promptly with a six-shooter than with u law book. Therefore, to avoid controversy and ill feeling in Union county on tho Fourth of July. 1863. the Stars and Stripes was not hoisted at Hendershott's Point, where the celebration, was held. A Fourth of July celebration witllotlt a flag is so unusual in America as to be subject to criti cism as unpatriotic. Hence there was so much discussion of the in cident that occurred at Hender shott's Point that women from Cove and, from Union took the matter in hand, and iH order to correct tho error as well as to re lievo the situation, Mrs. Harriet Hendershott and daughters Min erva and Josephino, Mrs. Mary E. Babbington and daughter Lenora, Mrs. Elizabeth Koger, Mrs. Staf ford, Mrs. Godley, Mrs. Fred No dine and some other women assembled at the home of Mrs. Harriet Lewis, of Union, tomnko a Hag for the celebration of 1864, which had been announced to take placo in that town. As cloth had not been provided Mrs. Hendershott offered to con tribute a red merino drsss belong ing to her little daughter Grace. None- had white cloth nor blue. Fortunately they wero able o purchase red merino and white linen at the town store,, but not blUo for tho field. To aid the . . .... cause the minister's daughter, Miss Martha Koger, generously donated a portion of her bluo merino riding skirt for( that pur pose, and tno ucia and Btripes were sowed together, As tho ( women were unable to make a pattern for a five-pointed star, E. C. Bralnard (afterword Judge of Union county) came to their as sistance. Upon the completition of the flag prominent citizens of Union, among whom were A. C. Craig, Peter Coffin, Fred Nodino and E. II. Lewis, assembled atWilfony's Hotel later known as the Stan ton House. Here they formed in procession and marched to Chat man's store, where the "Star Spangled Banner" was sung and the home-made flag raised umid impressive ceremonies. A few days luter the flag new from tho hands Of the patriotic women of Grand Ronde Valley -was unfurled at tho Fourth of July celebratton, where it was announced that this was the first time the United States ling float ed to the breezes of Eastern Ore gon at a patriotic mcetingof that kind.
