Richmond, VT, oct. 1.-The in

tant Episcopal church of the United
States are concentrated In Richmond
today. On every train distinguished
bishops, active clergymen and influ-
entail laymen from all parts of the
country have been pouring into the
city until even the corridors for once
in their history might be mistaken
for the vestibules of churches, so nu-
merous thereabout are men of
priestly mien. At many of the aris-
tocratic residences bishops and cler-
gymen have found splendid quarters.
At Holy Trinity church this morn
ing, where the sessions of the trien-
nial convention will begin tomorrow,
a great throng of churchmen were
assembled. The gathering was in
formal, the gentlemen visiting the
convention hall for the purpose of
getting their mail and obtaining in
formation relative to their quarters.
Among the notable arrivals today
were many OF the bishops of the
church, including the venerable Bish-
op Tuttle, who will preside over the

who will receive much attention. j.
Pierpont Morgan, with his guests, will
arrive tonight or tomorrow morning

At IL o'clock the bishops will form

church. They will be clad in the
robes Of their office and will be pre-
ceeded by the choir. Bishop Tuttle
will preside over the ceremonies. At
4 o'clock the first session Of the con-
vention will be held,
Seldom IL ever before in its history
has the triennial convention met with
so much important business TO trans
act. Two leading questions which are
expected to cause much discussion
will be the advocacy of a canon to
prohibit abolutely the remarriage Of
divorced persons by ministers of the
Episcopal church, and plan for the
creation of negro bishops.

PART Of PROJECT
To BE OPENED
ONE-THIRD OF UMATILLA
TRACT is READY.
Chief Engineer Arthur p. Davis of the
Reclamation Department Says a
Portion OF Umatilla Irrigation Pro-
ject Will Be Opened to Settlement
by January 1, 19Os-Expects This
Project to Surpass All Others in
Fertility.

Notwithstanding the persistent ru-
mors to the contrary, it is evident that
the reclamation department intends to
open a portion of the Umatilla irri-
cation project to settlement this fall,
as stated in the East Oregonian two
weeks ago.
lt'is said, however, that most of the
land to be opened is in private owner
ship now and the opening will simply
be the sale of tracts of this decided
land to homeseekers and no filing will
be required.
The latest information on the sub
ject is contained in a special dispatch
from Washington to the oregon Daily
Journal, as follows:
Plans have progressed for enough
to permit Chief Engineer Davis of the
reclamation service to announce that
one-third of the 10000 acres in the
Umatilla irrigation project will be
opened for settlement some time this
fall.
Heretofore II has been much in
doubt that he could open any of these
lands this year, but careful examina-
ton of reports seem finally to warrant
the announcement that about 1000
acres will be ready before January 1.
The remainder will probably be
opened year later,
Davis expects the Umatilla project
to become the most productive of all
government irrigation enterprises,
owing to a favorable climate, nearness
to transportation and richness of the
soil.
