SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., May 14.—Should Padre Dumotz, the ancient

> Franciscan missionary, arise from hiscouch of slumber as did Rip Van Win-kle of old and amble over the routethat marked his march into the SanBernardino valley a hundred years ago,it would be to find etrange and yetfamiliar sights upon the spot that somany long years ago he stood andraised his arms and proclaimed thevast expanse about him In honor ofSan Bernardino de Sienna.

During the century since the longforgotten padre pitched his camp onthis spot a city has sprung up. Longsince have been obliterated the tracesof the days of this ancient monk andthere are now few marks of his suc-cessors who ruled through the decadesuntil the coming of the Americans.

A ih;ni>iu;t> ykaks ago

For five days, however. Padre Du-metz would see re-enacted before hiseyes the very deeds of those stirringdays of a hundred yeas ago. For fivedays and nights the city of San Ber-nardino Is to take on the attire ofthe days of the Indians and the reignof the Spaniards.

For months the people of San Ber-nardino and the other towns of thevalley have been planning for the cel-ebration of the centennial, which fallson May 20. On Tuesday evening; withthe blare of trumpets and the blaze oflight San Bernardino will turn backthe pages of Its history for 100 yearsand an army of her fairest daughtersand strongest sons will picture thedays when the valley was first foundby the little band of monks that namedit and laid the first stones of its foun-dations.

Try as he might, the shaking handof the old padre cannot wipe awaythe mist of the vision before his eye.By his side will stand the thousandsof residents of the valley, watching

the scenes of the days they never saw.
