12 THE MORNING OREGQNIAN. TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1903. 18 IN NEW DIOCESE Eastern Oregon Cut Off From See of Oregon City. FATHER O'REILLY IS BISHOP Baker City Made Headquarter fcy Catholic Congregation of Propa gandaPortland Prleiit Highly Honored at Home. HOME, May 25. The Congregation of the Propaganda today finally decided tb recommend the division of the archdio cese of Oregon City and the appointment of the Rev. Charles J. O'Reilly, jjastor s of the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, of Portland, Or., to be bishop of the new diocese. The whole matter is subject to the approval of the pope. The division of the archdiocese of Ore gon City has been In contemplation for a considerable time, owing to its large area and the rapid growth of population. It has been the policy of the present pontiff, Leo iXIII, to accomplish the division of the larger archdioceses of the United States in order that the best spiritual service could be rendered to the constantly In creasing Catholic population. Recent di visions in consonance with the purpose of the Vatican have been the establish ment of the Sioux City diocese, apart from the archdiocese of Dubuque, la., and that of Lead, S. D.. segregated from North Dakota. Now the change in the Oregon archdiocese has been recommend ed by the congregation of the propa ganda, and will, it is expected, be an ac complished fact in the course of a few weeks. The creation of a new diocese is a mat ter of no small moment to the Vatican and Is not arbitrarily done; every detail being carefully taken up by the propa ganda and rigidly considered before the final recommendation is presented to the holy father for approval. When the erection of a new Catholic diocese in Oregon was thus taken up, the selection of a head for the new episcopal see presented Itself, and In recognition of his zealous work as a priest and his up right character and clerical qualities. Rev. Charles J. O'Reilly, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate" Heart of Mary, at Albino, was recommended to the propa ganda by his grace. Most Rev. Alexander Christie, archbishop of Oregon City, and the Right Rev. Bishop Orth, of Vancou ver; Bishop O'Dea, of "Washington; Bish op Glorleux, of -Idaho, and Bishop Bron del, of Montana, The new diocese to bo created will take in all that portion of the State of Ore go neast of the boundary line between "Wasco and Multnomah Counties, and thenco extend southward, following the summit of the Cascade Range of moun tains to the southern boundary of the state. The episcopal see will be Baker City, where the new prelate -will make his residence. Father O'Reilly Is a native of St Johns, IT. B., and, coming to Oregon a number of years ago, established the first mission at Oswego, Clackamas County. Later he came to Portland, and has been pastor of the Catholic Church at Albina for a number of years, during the last year also, In addition to his pastoral work, having editorial charge of the Catholic Sentinel, which he has now resigned. He is a clergyman well equipped for mission work, both in the country and city, and goes to the scene of his new and en larged duties well qualified to appreciate the urgent demands of his field of labor. WHAT PEOPLE WILL VOTE ON Question to Be Submitted to Them nt Monday's Election. Xext Monday electors of Portland "will vote to sustain or annul the following three acts of the Legislature: Authorizing a new bridge across the Willamette River at Morrison street, an additional free ferry at Albina. and a free ferry at Sell wood. If the acts shall be sustained, the Ex ecutive Board will proceed to negotiate with the City & Suburtfcn Railway Com pany for an exchange of the franchise now held by that company on the bridge lor a franchise on the new structure. If the company shall refuse to negotiate or to give up its old franchise in exchange for a new one, the Executive Board will have power to bring suit to condemn the privileges the company now holds on the bridge. The act empowers the board to Bell $400,000 worth of bonds on the credit of the. city. It requires the street-car company under the new franchise to pay a toll of 3 cents for each trip of a car over the bridge, but the minimum annual toll shall bo $12,000. Other railway com panies than the City & Suburban shall pay 0 cents for each trip of a car across the bridge, and to enable other companies to reach the bridge the Executive Board shall have power to acquire by purchase, con demnation proceedings or other means the franchises which the City & Suburban holds to the approaches of the bridge. For the additional ferry at Albina the Executive Board shall sell $50,000 worth of bonds. For the Sellwood ferry a commission of three persons, appointed by Mayor "Will iams, shall raise $15,000 from the eale of bonds. These three projects, if carried out, will Increase the bonded debt of the city $565, 000. Electors will -vote on each of the three acts, and may approve or disapprove any or all of them. The argument for the new bridge is that the old structure is too narrow and Is growing unsafe, and that a bridge the full width of the street, or nearly so, is needed. Tho argument for the additional ferry at Albina is that the present ferry is too email for that part of the city. The peo ple of Sellwood contend that they are en titled to transportation facilities for cross ing the river as well as any other dis trict of the city. MODEL OF FAIR GROUNDS Will Show in Mlnlnture Exact Con tour of the Site. A model will be set up in the headquar ters of the Lewis and Clark Exposition within a few days, showing tho contour of the grounds in the west end and the plans for the buildings. Carpenters were busy yesterday pre paring the big platform upon which this model Is to stand, and as soon as Engi neer Oskar Huber has prepared his model the Exposition ground plans will be shown in detail. The advantage of this showing at the Exposition headquarters Is obvious. In stead of compelling a possible concession aire to make the trip to the Exposition grounds and go over the plans in detail, he will be taken to the model-room and the plan of the big fair will be spread out at his feet. In the same manner the possible exhibitors can be shown what will bo the outline of the directors and Com missioners. The model to be constructed by Engi neer Huber will be made from plaster and papier-mache. Every building will be shown in Its place and the contour of the ground will be faithfully outlined. The plana of John C. Olmstead. consult ing landscape architect, have been taken as the basis upon which Mr. Huber will work out his plan for the model exposi tion. The plateau will be worked out first, and then will come Guild Lake ana the lower ground about It. Upon the plateau will be erected small papier-mache build-. Ings In faithful representation of the more stately edifices that are to adorn the Ex position grounds. The plots which are to be set aside for the concessions will be shown and an attempt will be made to Indicate the character of the concessions that will occupy different sections of th ground. " "While the model will serve the purpose of illustration at the Exposition head quarters, and will be something of a curiosity to those who. have rarely seen such exhibits, its purpose is usefuL It would -be practically Impossible for the Exposition officials to illustrate the char acter of the big Fair without the aid of such a showing of the ground character istics. The executive committee of the Fair met last evening and held an Informal discussion of future plans. Nothing de veloped from the meeting in the shape of orders for the resumption of work, but the committee probably obtained a more gen eral idea of the character of the under taking it had in hand. John Barrett attended the meeting and gave his advice as to the better plan of obtaining a representative exhibit from the Orient. "While Mr. Barrett Is closely associated with the St. Louis Exposition and unable to accept a commission from the Lewis and Clark Centennial, he has agreed freely to give the Fair the benefit of his advice. PIONEERS TO HOLD REUNION Programme Is Prepared for Enter taining: the Velcrnnx. All plans for a most successful reunion of the Oregon Pioneer Association for 1903 are well In hand, and the prospects are highly encouraging. Announcements setting forth the programme of exercises and the reduced rates for transportation from the different parts of the state have been sent out in large numbers, and re sponses thereto are being constantly re ceived by Secretary Hlmes. The attend ance laEt year was 90S, and it is expected that it will be fully as large this year, notwithstanding the Inroads that death has made into the ranks of pioneers. There are many who are entitled to the appellation of "pioneers" who have never attended an annual reunion. Secretary Hlmes has found at least 200 of this class during the past year. From this number the attendance Is augmented from year to year, as the old veterans fall out In obe dience to the summons which comes to all in due time. All matters pertaining to the banquet are progressing most favorably. Two meetings have been held by the "Woman's Auxiliary at the home of tho chairman, Mrs. C. M. Cartwrlght, and the responses for supplies and the willingness expressed to lend a hand in the work have been most gratifying. It is certain to be the feeling this year, as it has been for sev eral years past, that there is nothing too good for the old pioneers. The "Woman's Auxiliary has suffered a signal loss by the death of Mrs. Rosa F. Burrell, a few weeks ago. She was one of the most In defatigable workers In the auxiliary, and her cheery presence will be greatly missed. Among those who have for many years attended the annual reunions regularly, but who have died since the reunion of 1902, the following may be noted: Mrs G. R. H. Miller, Mrs E D Shattuck, Oregon City Portland W. B, Dunbar, Van- Wlllard H. Rees, Port- coaver land Colburn Barrell, Port-J. H. D. Gray, Astoria lana H. W. Corbett, Port- John Catlin, Portland land S. Gsuton, La Center, Wm. M. Case, Cham Wash poeg John Hughes. Salem N. K. Sltton. Carlton Mrs. Rosa P. Burrell. Mrs. Catherine Stewart Portland The above is but a partial list, and the secretary of ths association would be obliged If those knowing of the decease of other pioneers since June IS, 1902, would kindly send him their names. BOAT FOR COOS BAY RUN Portland Merchant Asked to Take Stock to Bnlld Steamer. The Board of Trade is in receipt of a letter from the Coos Bay Chamber of Commerce, setting forth a plan to raise capital among Coos Bay, Portland and San Francisco merchants, for the purpose of constructing a freight and passenger steamer to cover the San Francisco, Coos Bay and Portland run. The letter is as follows: "We herewith beg to call your atten tion to the fact that we have taken up the matter of constructing a suitable steamer for the Portland, Coos Bay and San Francisco run. with the Simpson Lumber Company, and we are confident that if satisfactory inducements are of fered to them they will build a boat of 1000 tons' capacity, capable of miking 12 or 14 knots per hour, with splendid pas senger accommodations. There Is no doubt but that such a boat would not only be a paying proposition to those who care to take stock In it. but that It would have a tendency to bring Portland and Coos Bay Into closer business and personal re lations. "We have asked our merchants to take $10,000 of this stock of the new vessel; thus, you see, we have the ship pers on this end and those to whom ship ments are made at this end of the route, owning stock In the boat, and specifying that, all freight shipped to them shall be shipped on this particular boat. Would It not be a wise move on your part to see If you cannot Induce the Portland mer chants to do likewise? "We refer to those merchants only who make shipments to Coos Bay." BODY OF CHILD FOUND. Gre-rvBome Remains Are Found at East Fifteenth and Multnomah. The dead body of a month-old child was found wrapped in a gunny sack yesterday morning at the corner of East Fifteenth and Multnomah streets. Archie Turnbull, a repairer of the City Engineer's office, was at work upon a sidewalk near this corner, and found the bundle burled deep In the grass. The peculiar shape of the bundle of rags and sacks led to an In vestigation, and when the body was dis covered the Coroner was notified and the gruesome object removed. The body was badly decomposed through the action of lime which had been placed upon it some time previous. Apparently the child had been dead a month or more and the lime had eaten away a large part of the head. Had the body been exposed to the weather since death it would have been quite unrecognizable. Evidently It had been pliced In a cellar or other dry place for some time and removed to the vacant lot but a week or so ago. The bundle had been carefully placed In deep grass, and had It not been for the work of the City Engineer's men it might have remained there for months. Doctors Take Them Xext. The firemen have gone through athletic stunts very creditably, and now they must suhmlt to be thumped and sounded by the doctors. Chlof Campbell yesterday certified to their passing the athletic ex amination, but their success in this does not free them from the physical test.

The two-story double house at 1713 East Eleventh street, at Sellwood. occupied by J. M. Merchant and wife Is "haunted." strange noises for which there Is no ex planation have been heard all over the part of the house occupied by Mr, and Mrs. Merchant for the past three "weeks at night. The singular feature of the affah- is that the other part of the double house, occupied by John P. Pelfer, presi dent of the tannery company, has not been disturbed, but the goblin or ghost, or whatever It Is has confined Its operations to Mr. Merchant's apartments. The notees consist of heavy knocks on the doors and sides of the houses, some times upstairs and sometimes on the lower floor. A policeman watched the house on the supposition that somebody on the outside might be causing the disturbances, but he saw nothing. So loud arethe noises at night that Mr. and Mrs. Mer chant have been driven away once or twice, and In spite of all the efforts that have been made to find the cause, noth ing has been discovered. Mr. Pelfer has watched with Mr. Merchant and also alone, but failed to solve the mystery. Mr. Pelfer has made a thorough inves tigation. He says that the knocks arc sometimes very loud as if somebody were hammering on the doors with all his power, and then again they are faint. He and Mr. Merchant watched together, and chased all over the house as fast as they could as the rapplngs were heard in dif ferent portions of the building, but the rapper shifted about faster than they could. "While they were down stairs they heard the floor above creaking as If some body were walking across the room, and then they heard the rapplngs on the side of the room. They slipped upstairs, but found nothing. Mr. Pelfer armed himself with a pistol and sat up alone In the house the other night. Intending to make It lively for the goblin If he caught sight of it. "When the rapplngs were heard on the door, he ran outside, but saw nothing. The noises continued while Mr. Pelfer watched, but he got no opportunity to use his gun on the ghost, although he chased the rap plngs all over the house. These continued disturbances have be come very wearing on Mr. Merchant, who Is quite well along In years. It Is thought that an outrageous trick Is be ing played on him for some unknown pur pose. A young man, who sleeps on the second floor, professes to know nothing about the noises, but whoever Is working the "ghost racket" in this house is cer tainly adroit to keep it up for nearly a month without being discovered. The houso has been thoroughly Inspected, in side and outside, for wires or some ma chine which might produce the noises, but nothing has been found. There have been cases where noises have been caused In houses to prevent a sale of the prop erty, or to reduce the sale price, but this" cxplanatlos will not fit this case. Mr. Merchant Is a well-known contractor without "an enemy In the world. PILEDBIVER WRECKED. Tvro Men Thrown Into Slongh, but Xelther Is Injured. . "Without the slightest warning and with a great crash, the frame of the plle drlver, ued by J. B. Tlllotson In driving piles for the elevated roadway on East Oak street, between East First and East Second streets, collapsed yesterday fore noon while the heavy hammer was at the top. C. N. McKee and John "Williamson, who were standing on the first and second stages under the hammer, were thrown into the slough about 30 feet below, among the broken timbers which came down with them, hut both made a wonderful escape from death. Engineer C. E. Amos and Henry Watklns, tho fireman, both .made a jump and got out of the way of danger. The engine, after the frame, which was about 30 feet high, went down tilted backwards, but did not fall Into the slough. The wreck was caused by the giving way of a bolt which held an Iron rod which supported the frame Just as the hammer, which weighs about 2000 pounds, had reached the highest point and was about to drop on the pile. "Williamson was working above on the second stage, and McKee was on the first stage eight feet lower down. A pile had been set In position preparatory to driving when the supporting rod gave way. In an In stant all the large timbers were wrenched In two by the weight on the hammer, and everything about the driver except the engine plunged Into the slough. McKee struck deep water and went out of sight, while Williamson fell In about three feet of water. The big timbers, that were snapped like pipe stems, fell about them and yet neither man was struck. They only sustained some slight bruises. Engineer, Amos, when he heard the crash and saw the tall driver topple for ward In the act of falling, jumped from the engine on a pile of dirt under the roadway, and Fireman Watklns made his escape to the eastward. The hammer came down in the slough. It will be nec essary to lift it out and rebuild the driver entirely. East Side Xotes. Rev. H. S. Templeton, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, has been given a leave of absence, and he will spend his vacation at Brownsville. The Wills tract, comprising 220 acres of land partly covered with brush and stumps, purchased by the Ladds, is being cleared. This tract lies east of the Ladd farm on the Southern Pacific Railway. It will take about 14 months to clear It and the cost will be about $16,000. Clumps of small trees will be left standing In places for shelter for the stock. All stumps will be removed.
