THREE AT ONE TIM
Portland Woman Gives Birth
to Triplets.
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.

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.

the total voto in the state election four
years ago, and is 173 In excess of the vote

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.

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

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.
"Passenger business has been stimulated

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."

Portland Colony Pays a Tribute to
Miss Denton.
Monday evening the Japanese chapel at
Ninth and Flanders was brilliantly light
ed and beautifully decorated to greet
Miss Denton on her return to Portland
after 12 years spent in Japan. The young
men of the mission entered heartily Into
the spirit of the occasion, and a true Jap
anese welcome was accorded her flowers
and flowers and flowers, "arranged with
the artistic taste of the Japanese. Great
branches banked tho platform and w,ere
grouped in large Japanese vases a, lit
reminder of the "land of flowers and
sunshine" and a grateful welcome to
"one's ain countrie."
The room was filled to overflowing, and
a crowd of bright, eager faces greeted
Miss Denton as Rev. T. T. Kudo intro
duced her. She appealed to them earnest
ly to build up a strong Christian man
hood, getting from our Western civiliza
tion the very best that it afforded, but
only the best, that they might carry back
to their own country only that which yrlll
make it stronger and better. She urged
them to preserve their loyalty to their

The casual visitor to this chapel must
be impressed with the personnel of these

can the West extend Its own Interests

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to AH Careful
Personi.
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. In this
way the required food Is presented to tho
system in a predlgested form and Is Im
mediately made Into blood and tissue,
without taxing he digestive organs.
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.
