CoNsECRATE CATHEDRAL.
First Roman Catholic Structure Of It's
Kind Since Reformation.

LONDON, December 29.-The Most Rev.
Francis Bourne. Roman Catholic archbishop
of Westminster. was enthroned in the new
Cathedral of Westminster today with the
Impressive ceremony incidental to such oc-
,casions. The vast building was filled to its
capacity by ecclesiastical and lay members
of the Roman Catholic Church. the robes of
the officiating clergy and the varied CARDS
of the numerous religious orders forming
conspicuous contrast with the brick walls
and bare-looking. unfinished edifice.
The Cathedral OF Westminster. conse-
Grated today, is the first Roman Catholic
cathedral that has stood in the metropoli-
tan see of England since the reformation.
The building was begun only eight years
ago, though 1t was projected by Cardinal
Wiseman (who died In 1869 and was plan
ned by Cardinal Manning in 1895. 1t is sit
uated half a mile west of Westminster Alb
hey and is a magnificent structure of the
Byzantine STYLE with great campanile OF
red brick, banded with Portland stone,
standing three hundred feet high and
crowned with a metal-covered dome sur
mounted by double cross of bronze.
The extreme length of the new cathedral
outside is $50 feet. width 156 feet; height Oh
1900 square feet. The general view of the
inner walls Is still one of bare, rough brick.
The scheme is to cover the whole Of the
lower walls and the piers to the height or
about forty feet with marble. All the up
per part and the vaults and concrete domes
will be decorated with mosaic work illus
trating the history of the church.
The total subscription before the laying
of the foundation stone was over $3.50. Geo
Since then there have been many large In
dividual benefactions. and the total ex-
pendture on the entire edifice up to the END
of October was just over million dollars
The cathedral starts clear of debt.

DEADLY CLOUDBURST
Five Hundred People Repor
Drowned at Heppner, Ore.
A Wall OF Water go Feet High Ran Down
Willow Creek with Awful Suddenness.
Overwhelming Everything
Before 1t,

Portland, Ore, June 16.-The most
appalling disaster in the history of
this state occurred Sunday evening
about six o'clock when the town of
Heppner was almost entirely de.
stroyed by cloudburst and probably
500 people drowned. Heppner is the
county seat of Morrow county and
has about 1880 inhabitants. The
most reliable reports last night stated
that the loss of life at Heppner will
be at least 500, though the number
OF dead is probably larger. All the
telegraph and telephone lines are
down and no accurate information
can be secured.
A report from lone, II miles from
Heppner, states that 800 bodies have
been recovered. A messenger who ar
rived Mt lone states that a wall of
water 90 feet high rushed down in
to the gulch in which Heppner is situ-
ated and carried everything before
it. The food came with such sud-
denness that the inhabitants were
unable to seek places of safety and
were carried down to death by the
awful rush of water. Almost the en-
tire residence portion of the town
was wiped out, but some of the bust
ness part, which is on higher ground,
escaped. Huge powders, weighing a
ton, were carried down by the cur
| Isl 1aI l. l,ns
dashed against the rocky bluff.
Early in the afternoon n thunder.
storm occurred, covering wide re.
gion of country, and later a heavy
rainstorm set in, many of the small
streams overlooking their banks in
short time. Bridges were swept
away like straws and the darkness OF
the night soon made the situation
more appalling.

AN ORDER REVOKED.
President Says Rural Free Delivery
Must Be Pushed.
Postmaster General Payne Wanted to
Economize to Meet an Apparent Deli
cheney But the Clamor for More
Routes Was Too Great.

Washington, June 15.-The tenn
porary suspension of the establish
ment of rural free delivery routes
owing to the discovery ola deficit in
the appropriation for the present
fiscal year will come to an end this
week. This is by the presidents or
ders, after consultation with the
postmaster general, Mr.. Payne. The
appropriation for this year was ST.
$4,000, to which congress added $780,
600 for q deficiency created in the
early part of the year. May l, ac-
cording to statements furnished the
postmaster general few days later,
the appropriation was exhausted and
a deficit of about $4,000 was made.
The establishment of further rural
routes was stopped in order that
there might be no larger deficiency
to take to congress. The postmaster
general said he was determined to
make the service businesslike and to
keep within bounds. He even tried
to wipe out the deficiency of $4,000.
A few days later, however, it was
found that the deficiency was really
1921 900. Since then, it has been be-
lieved, there would be no more new
work done in the line of establish
ing routes until the beginning of the
next fiscal year. 1t has been brought
to the presidents attention from
different parts of the country that
this was a hardship to many impor-
tant lines of business. Van appeal
was made by business men of Chi
cago and other western cities that
the order suspending the establish
ment of routes be revoked notwith-
standing the appropriation was ex.
hausted and that the new routes DO
charged up to next years business.
The first lot of routes recommended
for installation was sent to the fourth
assistant postmaster general, Joseph
Bristow, from the rural free delivery
division Saturday and will be acted
on this week.

Berlin, June 13.-A dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette from Belgrade Fri

the king to persecution and reprisals.
Many Want q Republic.
Vienna, June 13.-The kilograms
from Belgrade differ as to the atti-
tude of the Servian people. Some
of them say that only the military
element desires Prince Karageorge-
witch to the king, others say the Serv-
ians want Prince Mirko of Monte
negro to rule over them while many
of the more intelligent are in favor
of republic.
