THE OMAHA. SUNDAY BEEi JUNE 13. 1915.
r
TOMORROW is Flag day, let apart to honor the emblem of our
nation. There Isn't a Busy Bee, I am sure, who doesn't know
for what our flag stands. Even those who have just arrived
here from foreign lands are very quick to learn that, and indeed,
they vie with the native-born boys and girls in their loyalty
to the Stars and Stripes.
The flag of our nation was adopted by congress June 14, 1777, in
the following resolution: "Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be
thirteen stars, while tn a blue field, representing a new constellation."
Although our flag Is less than a century and 1 half old. It Is a curi
ous fact that It Is older than the present banner of Great Britain, adopted
in 1801; or Spain, 1780; or the French trl-color, 1794; or the flag of the
Empire of Germany, 1870. With the advent of our flag is connected the
name of Betsey Ross, whom a committee of congress, accompanied by
Washington, sought out In her home In Philadelphia to aid them In mak
ing the flag. The willing heart of this patriotic woman working in co
operation with her skillful fingers, resulted In the red, white and blue
banner which Is admired by all nations, and of which all loyal Americans
are Justly proud.
This week first prize was awarded to KlUabeth Franey of the Blue
Side; second prize to George Beat of the Blue Side, and honorable mention
to Mary Grevson of the Blue Side.
Little Stories
(First Prise.)
Western Trip in Auto.
By Klisabeth Frnney, Aired 1J Tears,
Hickman, Neb. Blue Side.
Last fall we all went on a trip out west
in our auto. We started at 6 o'clock In
the morning, and arrived at my uncle's
at 7 o'clock that evening a SCO-mile drive.
We grit lost In the hills or we would have
arrived there earlier.
Some places on the way 'we saw some
of the atones marking the Oregon trail.
The telephone wires were down yet at
Harvard, where the cyclone struck. We
saw some houses where It had struck,
and a cornfield which It had gone through
didn't have anything left In It except
the stalks. At Hastings we drove through
the asylum grounds, and saw them tak
ing some of the penple out for an airing.
Around our uncle's place were large
canyons. I never saw such hills before,
they looked pretty when they were cov
ered with grass. There were a lot of
coyotes and badgers in the canyons. My
uncle Uvea about nine miles from the
Finite river, so we went over to see It
with our couslin. Where wo were the
river was a mile wide. There wasn't so
much water In it that day, so It had
quite a few little islands. Home of them
had weeds growing on them, that made
them look preity. Some looked like little
flower beds. There were hardly any trees
there.
We stayed at my uncle's five days. I
enjoyed the vialt, and would like to tako
another trip this full.

Wrens for Neighbors.
By Mary Grevson, Aged III Years, West
Point, Neb. Blue Bide.
I suppose many of the Busy Bees have
neighbors, but my new feathered neigh
bors are very pretty. They are a pair
of wrens, a father and a mother wren.
I will tell you how they took charge
of the new home.
One day I made a house, put It In
the corncrib, and had a water cup and
a little box to feed from. I then put
It In the corncrib and waited every day
to see what birds would live In there.
One day I chanced to look out, and I
aame some blrda carry littlo atlcks
light In into the house. I first thought
that the birds were roblna, but soon
found them to be wrens. Thus the wrens
had taken charge of the new home.
One day I looked Into the neat. A happy
aight greeted my eyes. Can yo. guess
what It wasT It was four gray little
wrens with wide-open mouths, as they
must have been very hungry. About a
week later my featherel neighbors had
left their cosy home to seek another.

Old Fort Atkinson
On the site of the Council Bluff where
Lewis and Clark first held council with
the Indians, once stood old Fort Atkin
son, built in the year 1U, the fir at
United States fort In Nebraska. The
Rifle regiment and the Sixth infantry
were here. It was a large, strong fort
with fifteen csnnon and several hun
dred soldiers. He sides the soldiers there
were teamsters, laborers, traders, hunt
ers, trappers and Indiana, making a
town of nearly a thousand people. They
had a brick yard and a lime kiln. Rock
was quarried from tho ledges along the
river. A saw mfll and a grist mill were
kept busy. Hundreds of acres of rich
Nebraska land were farmed and thou
sands of bushels of grain raised. Roads
ran In all directions from this fort on
the Council Bluff. Indians came to It
front all parts of the west, fur It was
the most western army post In the
t'nlted States. From far-off Santa I'd
Mexicans ca-nw here to meet the Pawnee
Indians and make rwace with thtm.
White women were hero. There were
marriages and births. Children played
about the bluff, and probably the first
school in Nebraska was taught hare.
Fort Atkinson was tho largest town of
early Nebraska and tho only town In
Nebraska at that time.
Ti this fort In the summer of 113
came the news thst a party ot American
trappers had been fired upon by the
Arlkura Indians and about twenty of
them killed. The Arlkaras were related

saying that his people were stsrvlng
while the soldiers killed and drove away

Tn tRtr Fort Atkinson was abandoned
by the Tnlted Plates. All the soldiers
were sent down the Missouri river. They
drove away a gieat herd of cattle whlrh
supplied thein with beef. They left tho
plowed fields to grow up with grass and
weeds. All that was of use and could be
carried was taken away. The buildings
were left The traders and hunters went
to Kellevue and other posts down the

burned the buildings after the soldiers
were gone.
Plx years later Maximilian, the great
German traveler, found the fort In ruins.

Today the little village of Fort Cal
houn, sixteen miles north of Omaha, ad
joins the site of old Fort Atkinson. On
the summit of the Council BluTf may still
be traced the I urn fie ground, the place
where the flagstaff stood, the rows of
cellars where once were the officers'
quarters, and the barracks where the
soldiers lived. The ashes and broken
brick where the great fireplaces were
may still b found, sa also the powder
vault and the rond running down Hook's
Hollow to the host landing on the river.
Every spring alien the the people make
gaiilena they plow up bullets and but
tons with the mime "Rifle" or the flipire
" ' for the Ptxth Infantry, on them.
Gold and silver rolna are also found.
Moot of tlieni are Ppanlsh coins with far
away riatea upon them, telling of the
time when Spain ruled the greater part
of America mid Ita coins were In com
merce even where.
Such Is the story of the Council Bluff
and Old Fort Atkinson, the scene of the
first council with the Nebraska Indiana,
the site of the first fort, and the first
Important town In the state. It was
the center of busy life 101 years sgo.
Today the Missouri river Is three miles
away from the old landing beneath the
bluff. The fort Snd Its soldiers are
gone. The Indian trader and hunter
come no more. The Mexican no longer
crosses the plains to make peace with,
the Pawnee. The very name ef the old
fort Is forgotten. Yet here Is ene of the
historic spots of early Nebraska whose
memories should be cherished and whoee
story deserves te be told.
