The Bishop of Oregon preached at
Christ Church in the msrning and
made an earnest plea for more men
promising State OF oregon, and hoped
that the House of Deputies would con-
cur in the action OF the House OF Bish-
ops In the cesslon of Eastern Oregon

After describing the country the
bishop outlined the religious needs
and made an earnest appeal for the
permanent endowment fund OF the
episcopate in Oregon. Tue fund now
amounts to $4,000. and at least $i6U.-
900 Is required. 1.e immediate need
is for more clergymen to open the "si-
lent churches, and for funds with
which to pay them living salaries.
The bishop said that he made it a
practice on his missionary Journeys to

bishop Potter Speaks.
Bishop Potter spoke at Monumental
Church n the morning, His sermon,
which was Of only twenty minutes
duration. was simple, strong ana demo-
cratic. The bishop took his text from
the third chapter Of ST, John ninth and
tenth verses. "Nicodemus answered and
said unto him How can these thing
be? Jesus answered and said unto
him, Art thou master Of Israel, and
knowest not these things
Bishop Potter went on to explain
that Nicodemus was a ruler Of Israel
which was theocratic government ii
which tho law of the church was tn,

There has been time consumed in doing
routine business and in hearing routinl

necessary. On the whole, then, the
House OF Deputies has not wasted the

The House of Bishops has apparently
done more THAI the House OF Deputies
but the questions so FAR before that
house, with the exception OF the mis-
sionaly districts and new bishops, have
not been of u nature 10 provoke long

They have considered and acted
against the reopening of the divorce

vorable action in the division of the
Diocese or Oregon and in making TOR

curing in the action Of the House Of

Leach In Office Now;
New Director of Mint
Made Name In Frisco
Directed the Saving OF
100000. 0O0During
Great Fire.
Began Life as Country
Newspaper Editor.
Family Here.

Frank A. Leach, who this week be-
came Director Of the Mint, succeeding
George II. Roberts. is well qualified to
undertake the responsibilities OF the
office having spent more than ten years
in the Federal service. The last posi-
ton which Mr. Leach had before COM
sng to Washington and which he filled
with ability. was SUPPLEMENTARY or the
mint at San Francisco. His ability as
well as his fitness for the Office under
irving ordeaIs was demonstrated when
he and his subordinates saved over
5000. 900. 900 during the San Francisco IRE.
At the age Of twenty Mr.. Leach eif-
tered upon the active duties OF his hfe's
work. In a small town near San Fran
cisco the future director started a
country newspaper, which he was able
10 sell at a very good profit. He IN
mediately engaged in the newspaI er
business again, quitting this field later
TO enter the Federal service. Through
successive appointments he was pro-
NOTED to the position Of superintendent
Of the mint at san Francisco. which
position he held at the time Of his
appointment in washington.
Mr.. Leach has not yet decided upon
a location for his residence, but said
that ne would probably do so shortly,
as he and Mrs. Leach have been on
numerous house hunting expeditions
since their arrival in the city. With
them IS their youngest son, Harry +.
Leach, who has entered the George
Washington University Law School. His
other sons, Frank A. Leach, jr., A =
Leach. and Edward r. Leach are in
California.
