CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY

BAKER, Ore, Aug. 27.-Yesterday
was the tenth anniversary of the con-
secration of Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Reilly
as Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of
Baker City. Though 1t is usual to
have public celebration on such oc-
casions, the clergy and laity of the
diocese in respect to the expressed
wish of His Lordship refrained from
any demonstration. However, nu-
merous letters and kilograms OF con-
graduation were received from the
East and West
oregon alone is not the scene of
Bishop OReilly's labors. Every year
sees him in the East addressing each
evening during a period of two months
large congregations numbering thou
sands During these talks he lays
special stress of the advantages of
the West and of Eastern Oregon in
particular. He knows every town and
village of the $4,000 square miles un-
der his jurisdiction, and can give in
teresting talks on the various soils
and products.
Just at present he is occupied in the
colonization scheme. and is gathering
data for an address to be delivered in
October at the Catholic Missionary
congress to be held in Boston. AS
some 10000 persons will be present
Bishop O'Reilly expects some good
results from the talk.

LIVES LIFE AS
RIP VAN WINKLE

JACKSON, Mich, Aug. 27,-In a
comfortable little home just east of
here, Orson Howard, S5, a Rip Van
Winkle of real life, is writing the
story of his forty years mysterious alb
sence from his family. Slowly, la
boriously, he has transcribed scores
of pages which each night he locks
IN g heavy chest He will let no one
see what he has written. He does not
know his wife but calls her 'aunt.'
Nor does he recognize his two sons,
thinking them cousins. Thus they
have lived for three years or since he
was reunited with them following
that mysterious disappearance.
Nearly forty-six years ago they re-
sided in Laporte, Ind. They had been
married four years. Howard shoul-
dered a shotgun one morning and told
his wife that he was going hunting,
laughingly promising to bring home
bird for supper. Night came and
he had not returned. He was a hus
band of fine habits and fine repute,
When he did not appear next morning
Mrs Howard spread the alarm. A
thorough search failed to uncover a
trace of Howard. He had been young
and light-hearted when he dropped
out of sight, but when he returned
