hlsl SltetcfcTof His Career.
HOME May 16. The diocese of "Van
couver Is been taken from, the jurisdic
tion of le archdiocese of Oregon. Van
couver Xs been raised to an archbishop
ric forcing a new Canadian ecclesiastical
provlnct having two" Canadian Western
bishopris.
' Bight Rev. Bertram Orth, bishop of
Vancouer, has been created archbishop
of the cw archdiocese.
. Officii confirmation of the foregoing
dlspatcl has not been received in Portland.
The dlpese of, Vancouver has been a part
of the archdiocese of Oregon since this
last vrti created years ago. While em
bracing a vast territory It contains but
a smal population. The reasons for the
change are not announced, but presum
ably ths diocese of Vancouver was made a
Canadkn ecclesiastical province In order
to conform with the geographical lines of
the eetular province of Canada.
V Right Rev. Bertram Orth, bishop of
Vancotver, who has been raised to arch
bishop of the new archdiocese, Is well
known In Portland. He came to the
TJnlted States from Belgium as a mission
ary among the Indians of the Pacific
Northveet, and labored among the sav
ages for "years. For more than 20 years
he was pastor of St. Lawrence Church,
Third and Sherman streets, and while
there he was created a bishop about five
years ago.
By the new order from Rome the arch
diocese of Oregon is not materially af
fected, although Its extent Is considerably
decreased. The remaining bishops in the
archdiocese of Oregon are Bishop O'Dca,
of Seattle; Bishop Glorleux, of Boise, and
Bishop Brondel, of Helena.
Local clergymen state that for some
time there has been a rumor that the
diocese of Vancouver would be withdrawn,
as it has been the policy to conform ec
clesiastical provinces as near as possible
Xo the geographical lines, and the Victoria
diocese being Canadian territory It was
but a question of time when It should be
confined to that district.
Archbishop Christie hag received no no
tification from Rome of the creation of
the new archleplscopal diocese, and the
foregoing dispatch contains the only in
formation at hand In reference to it. The
diocese of Vancouver, B. C, at present
constitutes a portion of the archdiocese
of Oregon City, and has done so since
the establishment of the latter in the pio
neer 'days." It comprises a vast but sparse
ly settled territory lying within the Brit
ish possessions. The disposition on the
part of the church seems to be to con
form the boundaries of its ecclesiastical
provinces to those of the secular gov
ernments, and this action from Rome is
probably In pursuance of that policy.
There has been a persistent rumor in
church circles for months to the effect
-that Vancouver would be separated from
this archdiocese, and the news that such
action has been taken wilPnofcome'as' a
complete surprise to the' bishop's clerical
friends.
When Vancouver Is withdrawn the area
of the archdiocese over which Archbishop
Christie presides will be greatly lessened,
but the British territory Is so little
eettled .that from the standpoint of popu
lation there will be little change and the
work of the church can be prosecuted to
better advantage. iWth Vancouver out,
this archdiocese will comprise the dio
ceses of Seattle, Boise and Helena, pre
sided over by Bishops O'Dea, Glorleux
and Brondel, respectively, and will be con
fined strictly to the territorial limits of
the United States.
Bishop Orth Is one of the foremost pre
lates In the Northwest, and is well known
In Portland. When created bishop of
Vancouver, about five years ago, ho was
pastor of St. Lawrence Church, in this
city, which post he held for more than 20
years. During his pastorate here he was
held In the highest esteem for his scholas
tic attainments and good works. He Is a
native of Belgium, and came to the North
west many years ago as a missionary
among the Indians. His experience among
the various tribes admirably fits him for
the missionary work which the new prov
ince will have to do.

Them Winners of the West Could See
Their Glorlfler.
FOREST GROVE. Or.. May 16. (Spe
cial.) Captain W. H. H. Myers, of this
place. Indian War veteran and Demo
cratic statesman, has been urging the ap
propriateness of Adjutant-General Gan
tenbein's hurrying .out tho 1100,000 voted
for Indian War pensions before President
Roosevelt's arrival. This, he believes,
would insure a large gathering of these
"winners of the West" to greet the Presi
dent, whose writings have extolled their
achievements, and would be a peculiarly
graceful compliment, furnishing an Inter
esting feature to make the President re
member his Oregon reception.
SLIGHT JAR AT BOISE.
Misanderstandingrs Explained Soon
Made Matters Smooth.
BOISE, Idaho, May 16. (Special.) The
differences between Mayor Alexander and
the Adjutant-General have evidently been
exaggerated. There is a committee in
general charge of the arrangements for
the reception of the President. This com
mittee was summoned by the Governor,
the Mayor being a member. The latter ap
pointed a committee from the Council to
look after the city's part in the work,
this being made necessary by reason of the
fact that the city is paying the bills.
The two committees held a joint meet
ing or two, and since that no meeting of
either committee has been held. It seems
that at a meeting of the general com
mittee, from which the Mayor was obliged
to absent himself on account of sickness
at home, the details of the work were
turned over to Adjutants-General Vickers.
Dr. J. IC Reader.
Tho latter has proceeded with all the
arrangements.
The other day-the Mayor and the Council
committee called On him to make some
suggestions, and tho General told them
the matter was .entirely in his hands.
Following that the Mayor made a state
ment in the Council meeting narrating
the facts of the call and explaining that
if there were dissatisfaction the members
of the committee should not be held re
sponsible. .
He went on to say that notwithstanding
the discourtesy he felt had been shown
the city. It would do all In its power to
make the reception of the President a suc
cess. The fact of authority' having been
conferred on General Vickers has been
satisfactorily explained to the Mayor and
the public, which did not fully understand,
and there Is smooth sailing.

Quantities.
WASHINGTON, May 16. In a report to
the- State Department, Consul A. E.

cases of smallpox In this county, he said:

JOINING TWO BRANCHES.
Southern Padlc May Cross Willam
ette at Springfield.
EUGENE, Or., May 16. Again it is re
ported that the long-looked-for link con
necting the two lines of the Southern Pa
cific between Springfield and Eugene will
soon be built, and the report seems to
come from a reliable source. A survey
ing party is to be sent by the company
at once to make the final location of the
route for tho connection, which It Is the
intention to construct during tho present
year.
There is one question, howeer, which
may deter the company from proceeding
with the work beyond the survey. That
Is the right-of-way question. The com
pany has not yet secured the right of way
for the complete connection and there has
been some difficulty about securing the
right from one or two parties owning
property. A contingent which will enter
Into the project is this question of ob
taining right of way.
A survey or the route for this connec
tion was made three years ago, and It
was thought it would be built at that
time. The distance Is only about a mile,
but It will be an expensive mile for the
reason that the Willamette River Has to
be crossed necessitating a steel bridge.
The plan has been In contemplation by
the company for many years and its' con
summation has been looked forward to
by people of this end of the valley with
some degree of hope, but it has been
dropped so often after being about ready
to go, that no great faith will be put in
the project until work Is actually com
menced. PRAISED HIS PICTURES.

TACOMA, Wash., Mar 16. (Special.)
What many men here believe is destined
to become a great transcontinental rail
road, or an Important link in one, is the
Tacoma & Eastern, -which Is novr being
constructed in a very substantial manner,
and has already reached a point 32 miles
In a general direction toward Portland.
It is being backed by the Ladd & Tilton
Bank, of Portland, and is penetrating a
great forest region heretofore inacces
sible. Rapid development Is keeping In
close touch -with the road's construction.
Edward Cookingham, of Portland, is
president of the company, and John Bag
ley its general manager and originator,
thoroughly prospected the- region invaded
before organizing the corporation.
Most of the thousands of people -who
have made visits to Paradise "Valley and
pronounced it one of the most beautiful
Summer spot3 of the Pacific Northwest,

road ready to whirl them more- than half
the distance In a couple of hours, and
they can make it through In a day from
Tacoma.

the. railroad roundhouse, machine and
carshops.
Logging camps abound, and are- multi
plying along the line, and the stimulus
that the building of the road is causing
is wonderful.
Some Beauty Spot.
Lake Kapowsln, along which runs the
new road, will become pretty and pictur
esque some day, after it has had painless
dentistry practiced oh its stump3, and
Summer cottages arise on its banks and
gasoline gondolas glide around on Its still
surface. Now It Is a busy commercial
proposition, with a humming sawmill at
each end.
Chop Lake is a picturesque place, and
the railroad runs righ above its level.
Along here Chief Engineer Shaw had
some of his most difficult slide work to
contend with. A new E0,'C0G-foot sawmill
Is just being started at one end of the
lake by Judge McMurray, Harry Win
cheater, C. M. Johnson and J. A. Muller.
They have 50,000.000 feet of standing fir
and cedar in sight.
At Eatonville signs of new life are seen
on all sides, and the father of the town.
Hon. T. C "Van Eaton, who has lived
there 14 years, predicts that the present
population of 250 will grow to 2000 within
nine months. The town has a large tri
butary trade from ranches and logging
campsrahd the region is very rich in raw
material.
Sources of Wealth.
"Our resources are tremendous," said
Mr. "Van Eaton. "We have timber, coal,
paint, fireclay and agriculture. Inside of
90 days there will be 600 men receiving
wages within three miles of our town.
In that radius there are seven sawmills
running, or about to . run. Two miles
southwest of town is a vein of paint 600
feet wide, and our near-by coal fields are
very extensive. Our new depot will be
very central we could not ask for a more
convenient location, and we will have
eyery facility for handling-business. We
are going to inviteVthe whole county to
Join in our Fourth of July celebration in
honor of the advent of the railroad."
Eatonville points with pride to its new
$4000 schoolhous'e, its $7000 hotel nearing
completion, its 20 residences and business
buildings In process of construction and
20 others arranged for. Its sawmill on the
Mashel close by, recently bought by" ev
Governor Savage. Is being enlarged from
0,000 to 100.000 feet a day. The town has
several 41000 and $1500 houses, and Mr.
Van Eaton's house Is a WOOO structure.
From Eatonville's front door you can
get a very fine view of the upper works
of Mount Tacoma, and If your arm was 24
miles long, you would '.have the vast snow
fields on its summit right under your
thumb.

Paradise Valley.
If you have camped In the Valley and
seen the sun rise over the summits of the
Sawtooth range and tint the tips of ifja
forests of firs, you have seen a sight that
you. will not forget.
After the Indian wars of 47 years ago,
Indian Henry and his band hid away and
made their camp oji the Mashel River,
and they and their descendants still live
there. They have homesteaded little
ranches; and live the ideaT Indian life of
hunting and fishing and trapping, to.
which they have added a little farming.
They still practice the art of basket
weaving, and their work Is quite novel.
They bring to Eatonville tha wonders of
the woods, their latest contributions being-
two bear cubs, about 1 month oldr a
coon and several flying squirrels, all of
which Judge C. H. Williams Is taming,
and they will be admired' by the tourists
who will soon be arriving; He also liasi
a pet yearling deer, which chews either
candy or tobacco.
Within short distances of Eatonvllla
are waterfalls and canyons which will
shortly be causing comment and attract
ing visitors, now that the railroad Is to
bring them In close touch with the world,
and when transcontinental trains are glid
ing over the Tacoma & Eastern "many
picturesque places will be discovered, and
exploited along its line.
People now begin to see that there was
and is abundant provocation for tho
building of this railroad as planned by lta
general manager, John Bagley. He care
fully examined the vast stretches of tim
ber and the Immense deposits of coal and
mineral before he began building, and,
outside of these, the road will have one of
the mo3t profitable propositions on tha
Coast in the tourist trade to Mount Ta
coma. No ordinary observer can con
clude that the line i3 going to end in tha
timber or at the mines, and all are justi
fied In thinking that track-laying is going
to' continue right on through, the St.
Helen's mining district and on to Port
land. R.
