SEVEN SINGLETS PRECEDED THEM Trio, Consisting of Two Girls and a Boy, Are Healthy and Grow ing Tounsstcrs. Four cases of the birth of twins were reported during last month in this city, and May seems bound to break the record, as the birth of a set of triplets has al ready taken place. They were born on Sunday (a lucky day) to Mrs. "William Elver's, 427 Gllsan street, and ' are all healthy and hearty, and growing rapidly. Uhls couple had their quiver already pret ty well stocked, as they had seven chil dren, nil living, and now by this unusual stroke of luck, have ten, which goes to show the truthfulness -of the Scriptural statement as modernized: "Them as has giu." ill. Elvers Is a laboring' man, and may be excused if he feels a little nerv ous over the prospect of three more little pair of shoes to buy every week or two, three more little bodies to feed and clothe. The Elvers residence is a snug cottage, where the climbing roses blossom o'er the door and a line display of flowers orna ments the well-kept garden In front. The trio of babies comprise, two girls and a boj. and very nice, pretty babies they are, not so large as singlets usually are, but there is plenty of room for them to grow. v In England, on the occasion of the birth of triplets the Queen always sends the mother a purse containing a 5 note. In this country the Government takes no official notice of these unusual additions to the popufation. but such efforts are not allowed to jass unnoticed, and some friends of the family have already taken steps to see that the triplets shall be supplied with anything needed for their present wants. It Is scarcely necessary to call the attention of the many gener ous, big-hearted women df Portland to the case, as they all understand the exi gencies connected with It, and how far short ot tilling the needs of three must fall the supplies provided for one. Those who can do nothing more for the little ones can give assistance In providing names for them, as no family is provided with really desirable names for three, especially after having u&ed up seven be fore. One little girl, when she heard of the .case, felt very sorry for the three little ones, remarking that when there was only one child around the house It was hard enough for it to get playthings, candy, etc., and nere the supply of these articles would have to be divided among three. The managers of the Baby Home can now consider that they have a branch of their institution at 427 Gllsan street, and govern themselves accordingly, while women who have no babies will be certain to take a lively interest In the triplets, and Tho Oregonian is confident that they will be well looked after, by kind-hearted women. BIGGER THIS YEAR THAN EVER Xorrla & Howe's Ulg Trained Animal Show Conilng- Xext "Week:. Norris & Rowo's big trained animal shows will begin a week's engagement In Portland, Monday afternoon next, under their large waterproof tents, which will bo located at the corner of Eleventh and Clay streets. Performance will be given dally at 2:30 and S P. M., throughout the engagement. It Is a well-known fact that Norris & Rowe's show, starting years ago", as a very smatt dog show, has grown year by year with such tremendous strides . that today it stands as the largest trained animal show In the world. So familiar has the public become with the fact that each year sees enormous new augmenta tions, magnificent improvements and the addition of newly originated features, that the return of Xorrls & Rowe'e shows al ways means that something new and dif ferent is to be presented. Great as have been the additions in the past, magnificent as have been tho new departures inaugu rated, neer has there been such a tre mendous stride Iiuadvance taken as marks the one of this season. Among this sea son's special features are a troop of per forming seals. Major Mite, the smallest living man, who stands without a peer as mimic and comedian; the wonderful waltzing- ponies, exciting tandem, chariot and hurdle races, the wonderful menage act, introduced by Master George Sutler; Roseberry. the talking pony; and Jim Robinson, the monkey jockey. A grdnd free street parade will be given Monday morning. D. Soils Cohen to Spealc D. Soils Cohen will deliver the main address at the Republican rally this ev ening at Gruner's Hall on tho corner of East Seventh and Stephens streets. It will take place under the auspices of the TJ. S. Grant Republican and Sellwood Republican Clubs. All candidates on the regular ticket are expected to be pres ent and participate. They will be ten dered a -reception after the conclusion of the programme. The Southern Pacific band will be present and furnish music. The famous Portland University Quar tet is expected to sing some of its taking selections. TO MT. HOOD ON WHEELS. Georpre Prosser and "Wife, of Port land, Made the Trip This Weelc As usual, George Proseer, of Portland, has been the first man to travel the Mount Hood road after "Winter breaks. He and his wife have Just completed a trip to the cabin and return on bicycles. Let timid men consider this, that Mrs. Pros ser mado the round trip on her wheel, and the time made going out was equal to that of a good Summer day, although the couple walked about 15 miles of the dis tance. Starting from The Oresonlan of fice at 4:40 A. M., they rodo with eturdy tread until the cabin was reached, about 6 P. M. There they found O. C. Yocnra busily engaged constructing a new house and making other preparations for a bis rush of mountain climbers th!d year. Mr. Prosser's trip demonstrates that this season is Just two months earlier than the last. He accompanied the first party going through last jear, which made the trip July 3, to give the illumination in tended as a part of tho celebration. At that time snow from six to 13 feet deep was traveled over between Government Camp and the tollgate. This year no enow was found there May 6. The achievement of Mrs. Prosser to one a man might well cherish as an athletic performance. There are few wheelmen in Portland anxious to tackle the ride to the cabin while roads are In present con dition. Before the Sandy is reached, there Is a mile and a half where the bicycle. Is led. Beyond that a short distance there comes another walk, this time of three miles. Cherryvlllc hills are very ellck and greasy this year. They are always so after Winter weather, but so early in the season it is difficult to Imagine them passable. Here Mr. Prosser states he and his wife did much walking and leading. There 3s always considerable walking from tho tollgate up, and Mr. Prosser's experience this week was far from an ex ception. Mr. Yocum states, In answer to numerous Inquiries regarding the condi tion of tho roads, that the Oak Grove road is open, but that it will bo two or three weeks before the Barlow road is passable. DEBATING TEAM HONORED. Forest Grove Tender n. Reception to "Winner of the Contest. FOREST GROVE. Or., May 8. The re ception tendered at Marsh Hall last even ing by the students and tmmsnAnnin in honor of tho victory won by our debating team over fcugenfe was largely attended. Several speeches were made, and th greatest enthusiasm prevailed. President McClelland and the membera of the debating team accorded much of tho honor of tho victory to Mr. AtwelU who coached tho team, both for this de bate and for the debate which thov wmi over Salem. He was a practicing attorney lor several years before becoming- con nected with the univertity. Want an Ontlet. Residents of Tromont are anxious for an outlet northward to the Foster and finally to the Powell Valley road. By opening a road a distance of half a mile south from the gravel pit on the roster an outlet will bo provided. Under present conditions they are compelled to go to the Milwauklo road over to the westward before they reach a route to the main traveled county thoroughfare. EVERYBODY GET A BUTTON.

LAKE IS CERTAIN FOR TOXGUE. Bombastic Clnlms of Dr. Daly Re futed by One Wlio ICnovrs. LAKEVIEW. May 5. To tho Editor.) The issue of tho Portland Evening Tele gram of May 2. ISM. contains an Interview with Dr. B. Daly, of Lakevlew, the banker, fusion nominee for Congress from the First District of Oregon, in which our townsman generously concedes one county in tho district, Tillamook, to Congressman Tongue, figures Marlon and Clackamas In the doubtful column, and claims the re maining 14 counties, including Iake, for himself. Evidently Dr. Daly has en tered his own political graveyard, and is whistling to keep up his courage. He has a record for "claiming" things unsur passed by any other man in Oregon.

Clearing Sale of Lace Cartains Clearing Sale of Tapestries in Lake County do not bear out the fusion nominee's assertion, which is as bald as it is reckless. The people of Lake con sider Dr. Daly very weak timber for a Congressman: they do not consider for a moment that he has a ghost of a show to bo elected. If reports are to" be relied on regarding tho political situation in this section, there is an assurance that even tho populists of Lake and Klamath will support Thomas H. Tongue for Congress. How the banker-fusion candidate expects to carry Lake and Klamath when each Of these counties were In thn TtAruihT!mn column of 189S by over 100 majority, the. peopjo or inese rwo counties are at a loss to know. There has been no general up heaval or turninir over- of th nnllHonl complexion of this section since 18S3, and a conservative estimate shows an in creased Republican majority by reason of a largo number of young men becoming of age and allying themselves with1 tha Republican party, and a decided change in tho political views of numerous voter3 who have heretofore been counted with the Democrats and Populists. The votera of the other counties in this Congressional district do not know Dr. Daly as he Is known at home, neither are they familiar with his methods as a wily politician. In refutation of Dr. Daly's claim It Is safo to assert at this time that Lake County will hand up a majority for Mr. Tongue. The peoplo generally In this sec tion indorse Mr. Tongue's record on the Porto Rico question and highly commend his able speech in the House of Represen tatives, delivered April 11, 1900, and pub lished In tho Congressional Record on tho same bill. Lake County, Dr. Daly's home, will send In a good round majority for Hon. Thomas H. Tongue on the 4th day of June. J. E. M'GARRET. Congressional Committeeman, First Dis trict of Oregon.

Duniway, secretary of the Re publican State Central Committee, Is now comfortably installed in the head quarters on the sixth floor of the Cham ber of Commerce building, and Is busily engaged In correspondence with Republi cans In different parts of the state.

MEIER BIG RAILROAD BUSINESS LARGEST APRIL TRAFFIC EVER ICVOWX IX PORTLAND. Many Cars Handled by Terminal Company Elesrant Overland Trains. Tho April railroad business of Portland, freight and passenger; was larger than it has ever been before. More than 12,000 freight cars were handled by the Ter minal Company, and in the Alblna yards of the O. R. & N., beside those coming into the East Side and South Portland yards of tho Southern Pacific, and the Indications are that in May the number handled will be 13,000. The number of pieces of baggage which passed through the union passenger station was 23,-iSO each way, a larger amount than lias ever been handled In any April, which shows that the passenger business Is largely increas ing. Indeed, it does not require figures on baggage nor tickets to prove that the passenger business of the city has im mensely increased. There are now six overland passenger trains leaving the sta tion every day, besides five locals, and the station is almost constantly crowded with outward-bound and incoming pas sengers. The magnificent new trains put on by the O. R. & N. Co. and the North em Pacific are always crowded, and If the Terminal Company was not wisely strict about not allowing persons who are not passengers to go bejond the station gate, the platform every time a train went out would be so packed with people as to be a constant source of danger and annoyance m moving trains. The first train leaving the station is tho Southern Pacific, which pulls out at 8:30 A. Ms, always with Pullmans, tourist sleep ers and day coaches loaded with people bound for the land of sunshine. At 9:13 tho elegant Portland-Chicago Special pulls out over the O. R. & N., and there Is always a crowd at the station to see it off, while the pedestrians on the Steel Bridge stop to cheer it as it crosses the river. At 2 P. M. the first of the two elegant Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited trains leaves the station. The fine Atlantic express leaves over the O. R. & X. at 6:20; at 8:30 another big Southern Pacific train is ready to go, and at 11:30 the second North Coast Limited starts on its journey north and east. Meanwhile two trains a day leave for Astoria, and three local passenger trains leave out over tho Southern Pacific, two on the west side of the river and one on the east. The steamer line between Portland and San Francisco Is a considerable addition to the passenger traffic of the O. R. & N two fine steamers sailing, one every five days, and always with big passenger lists. Owing to the fact that tickets over all the overland trains are sold at many dif ferent points, it is impossible to obtain the figures of the passenger business in April, but the agents of the different lines say that it Is the largest they have ever known at this time of year, and Is stead ily on the Increase. It was the growing passenger traffic whleh Induced the Northern Pacific and tho O. R. &. N. to equip and run the magnificent new trains which are now run ning out of Portland, and such Is the volume of business that the O. R. & N. will put on a- third train, the Spokane Flyer, beginning Sunday. The new trains seem to have been an Inducement to trav elers, as business has been increasing rap idly ever since they were put on, and it may be soon necessary further to add to the splendid facilities for travel now enjoyed by the Portland public and the stranger within Portland's gates. The increase In the freight business dur ing the latter part of April and the early part of May was remarkable. As high a3 130 cars have been handled in a single day, and "business continues to grow. The Terminal Company Is splendiuly equipped to handle traffic, so that it will meet what ever Increase there Is without any ..Incon venience, and with no fear of overcrowding tho yards or overworking the switching crews. As the amount of railroad business Is an accurate gauge of the general businesa of a city, it will be seen that Portland's commercial Importance Is Increasing rap Idly, and that her population Is growing In proportion. Of the great numbers or people who are coming In here, many will find homes in the city or state, while others will be of great benefit in adver tising it through the East. Portland Is easily tho greatest railroad town west of Denver, and in the course of the next few years it promises to become one of the greatest west of the Missouri River. OX THE SOCTHEHX PACIFIC. Satisfactory Incrense of Business on All Oregon Lines. C. H. Markham, general freight and passengb" agent of the Southern Pacific, when asked yesterday if business had im proved this Spring on the lines in Oregon, said: "Business of the Oregon lines Is showing a very satisfactory Improvement; this notwithstanding the low price ot wheat and hops, coupled with what practically amounted to an entire failure of the fruit crop last year.

QoaeeeeeoeoQCG9)90cooooot)osooaecoooeeooooo3009$oos seeking investment in timber lands along our line, and mining Interests In South ern Oregon are being exploited as never before. The Bohemia district is steadily growing in Importance: the Blue River mines are commencing to attract atten tion, and In Southern Oregon several promising copper properties are being de veloped. The supply of water for hy draulic mining has been unusually good this year, and the placer diggings of Southern Oregon will show better returns than ever before. "Some" new people are coming In all the tlmeand the continued low price of grain and hops is causing farmers to take up diversified farming in a spirit which has never before been attempted. A number of new creameries have been started in the 'Willamette "Valley, and It Is safe to say that where there is today one cream ery or cheese factory, there will be at least a dozen five years hence. "The general situation may be summed up as being very much Improved. As that portion of Oregon south of Portland develops and Increases In Importance, so will Portland grow and increase in Im portance, and the people who are inter ested in the growth of Portland can ex pend their energy to no better advantage than to assist In the development ot Western Oregon. There are many ways In which Portland influence can be used to advantage. The moneyed Interests of Portland have extensive loans on Willam ette Valley lands, and wherever they are In position to do so the holders of these securities ought to take measures to break up the large land holdings and use their Influence to Introduce that system of di versified agriculture which Is so Indispen sable to the prosperity of an agricultural community." RECEIVED BY JAPANESE. Portland Colony Pays a Tribute to Miss Denton.

The arguments on food are Interesting; Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on the ground that they do not like to feel that life has been taken to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat. On the other hand, too great consump tion of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat or bread, pastry, etc., produces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs, Cwhere starch should bo digested), are overtaxed and the food fer ments, producing gas. and microbes gen erate In the decayed food, frequently, bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis. Starchy food Is absolutely essential to the human body. It3 best form is shown In the food "Grape-Nuts." where the starch is changed Into grape sugar during the process of its manufacture.

A remarkable result In nourishment is gained; the person using Grape-Nuts gain3 quickly In physical and mental strength. Why 1a mental? Because the food con tains delicate particles of phosphate of potash obtained from the grains. This unites with the albumen of all food and the combination Is what nature uses to rebuild worn-out cells In the brain. This is a scientific fact that can be easily proven by 10 days use of Grapa-Nuta. Never eat beyond three or four heaping teaspoonfuls at a meal.
