O. R. N. The team will proceed east
ward from Chicago over the Lake Shore.
& Michigan Southern and should reach
pamp at Camp Perry, Ohio, on Lake Erie,
by Wednesday night. Practice over the
ranges there will be taken up at once.
The Oregon Guard Is going with the In
tention of trying for one of the National
trophies offered by Congress this year.
Of 45 teams entered a year ago the Ore
gon men finished ahead of 23 teams,
beating not a few crack marksmen of the
regular service. The team Intends to
work up toward first place this time.
. The best riflemen of the Regular Army
and the National Guard of the country
will compete. The team wlH be absent
about month. The United States Gov
ernment foots the bill.
' The following communication bearing on
the competition has been issued by the
National Board for Promotion of Rifle
Practice, at Washington, D- C:
Xational Board's, Circular..
- From now until September the eyes of
all riflemen In this country will be on
Camp Perry, Ohio, where the annual
matches of the National Board for the Pro
motion ot Rifle Practice, the National Rifle
Association, the Ohio State Rifle Assoela
tion, and tbe Ohio National Guard will be
hot. The matches begin August 19, but
prior to this several days will be spent In
preliminary practice for places on the Palms,
Trophy Team, which will shoot against
Canada and England -at Ottawa on Sep
tember 7. The matches of the National
Rifle Association, with those of the State
Associations, will occupy the week from
August 19 to 24 Inclusive. August 28 and
27 will be set aside for preliminary practice
for the big National matches, which will
occupy the remainder of the week.
In the grea match for the National
Trophy, donated by Congress, it Is ex
pected that between 40 and 45 teams of 12
men each will be entered.- Kach team will
be accompanied by substitutes, coaches and
supernumeraries, and In addition there will
be a large .number of marksmen shooting
on other teams and as Individuals, so the
attendance will not be far from 1000 men.
which will Include the best military rlfla
shoes In the country.
First on New Range.
This Is the first time the matches have
been shot at Camp Perry, which is one of
the newest and most complete ranges In the
country. It lies on the shore of Lake Erie,
near Sandusky and Port Clinton, and across
the lake from Put-In Bay. The targets will
be along the north side, with the butts at
the lake, so the bullets will fall In the
water. As it Is shallow, there will be no
danger to passing vessels. It is expecetd
that some remarkably high scores will be
made, partly on account of the north
light, as the marksmen will not have to
face the sun at any time. The Increasing
amount of practice with the military rifle
should also show In the scores, especially
as most of the riflemen have kept In prac
tice during the Winter by using the Krag
or Winchester .22, which gives the same
results In Indoor practice as the .30 at out
door practice.
Many of the competitors are arranging
to reach Camp Perry by a part water route,
taking the steamer at Detroit on the west
or Buffalo on the east. From Sandusky or
Toledo all local trains will stop at La Carne,
from which shuttle trains will run to the
camp. State teams traveling In special
cars may have the same parked at the
camp. Competitors seeking relaxation will
find It at Port Clinton, Sandusky, Put-In
Bay. or other nearby resorts, special ar-
' rangements having been made for an even
ing train to leave camp after the matches
and return about midnight. This train will
connect with steamers to the different re
sorts. There win also be a day steamer
between the camp and Port Clinton and
. between Port Clinton and Put-In Bay.
Match for Pal ma Trophy.
The match for the Palma Trophy will
attract the attention of the world, as in It
will compete the best shots of England,
Canada and the United States. The Ottawa
Range, on which It will be shot. Is at
Rockcllffe, near Ottawa. The fire Is de
livered on 50 targets set In one line. Be
hind the pit Is a high stop-butt, painted
black, which minimizes the effect of the
early morning light, says Arms and tha
Man. Against the back-stop the targets
show up with great distinctness. The firing
points He one behind the other, the longer
ranges being slightly elevated. On the
left Is the Ottawa River, running at the
foot of a high bluff, while on the right the
range Is bordered by woods. Streetcars run
to the clubhouse on the grounds, and two
regiments are quartered there.
One of the most celebrated regiments in
Canada, the flashy Forty-third Regiment.
Duke of Cornwall's Forty-third, Rifles, has
its headquarters In Ottawa. ' The com
mander is Lieutenant-Colonel S. M. Rogers,
one of the best shots in the English service,
who served with distinction In the Boer
War.
The conditions of the Palma match pro
vide for teams of eight men. shooting with
the several rifles of their Individual coun
tries, 15 shots at 800, 900 and 1000 yards.
The English team will proceed to Australia
where It will shoot against the cracks o?
that country.
- Tbe rardonable Bin.
PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 7. (To the Edi
tor.) Did you ever eat a genuine water
melon the kind that, when a knife was
sunk Into it, the thin, blue rind cracked
and ripped three or four Inches ahead of the
blade, till the two halves seemed to hurry
apart ? '
Or. if you wre a well-made farm boy,
barefoot, with only a pair of, cotton pants
and hickory shirt on not able to own a
pocket-knife you lifted the melon up and',
dropping it on the ground, it popped open,
red as a rose, and a hundred times as
sweet ?
My! but It was delicious. Only the heart
was eaten Just the luscious, crisp, red
heart. None of your present-day greenery,
yellary stripes, with a white blotch on the
under side of a leathery rind, bought at the
store and cut into rings like a bologna
sausage, slimy and tough, and which you
are expected to eat from a plate with a
fork and which leaves a bad taste In your
mouth clear down to the top of your
thighs?
Or. did you ever slip stealthily Into a
watermelon patch In the midst of a field
of corn in the tassel, glide about among
the vines, thumping the- great beauties,
"pllnk-plunk, pllnk-plunk." till you iouii.t
one that was ripe, taking due care to look
all about before pulling It?
I have my opinion, Mr. Editor, of the
man who never "hooked" watermelons
when he was a boy. Either there were no
melons raised In his part to "hook," or
he was too good for practical purposes.
O, for an old-time watermelon Just off
the vine! C. E. CL1NE.
At the Theaters
What the Press Agents Say.
"THE UNDERTOW" STIRS CITY
Sensational Graft and Newspapei
Drams Arouses Great Interest.
It i doubtful if a stock performance
ever aroused such widespread discussion and
serious interest as has "The Undertow,"
which the Stockwell-MacGregor Company
is producing at the Marquam this week.
It desls with present problems as no other
play ever seen on the local stage. The
characters of the newspaper reporter and
the franchise-grabbing capitalist are taken
from real life, and, of course, everyone will
recognise Mayor 8chmltz, of San Francisco,
In the Mayor. The stage-setting showing
the Interior of a metropolitan newspaper
office is realistic in the extreme. Tonight
and all week, with a Saturday matinee.
Matinee Today.
"A Bachelor's Honeymoon," the screaming
farce comedy which is convulsing people at the
Star Theater this week, will be given at the
matinee this afternoon. For a warm weather
entertainment, when the public Is seeking re
laxation and recreation, "A Bachelor's Honey
moon" touches the spot. Every line .Is a
laugh and each situation a shout of Joy.
"Jim, the Westerner," Matinee.
As the Western hero of the play makes
good in New York City, so does the play
at the Lyric this week, where the Allen
Stock Company Is making one of its great i
est successes. It is a play that thousands
have already seen since the opening per
formance, and everybody says good things
of it.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"Are You a Mason?" at Marquam.
Monday the Stockwell-MacGregor Company
will offer Its patrons a genuine comedy treat
In the shape of "Are You a Mason?" the
funniest farce of recent years. It Is a pleca
that has everywhere been received with the
highest favor. The average weight of Atrlpr
ican citizens Is higher because It was writ
ten. Thousands have laughed and grown
fat. "Are You a Mason?" is the only
original anti-lean play. If you want to
spend an evening of unalloyed mirth and
laughter, go to the Marquam next week
and see "Are You a Mason?"
"The Two Orphans" Next Week.
The next bill at the Lyric will be that
grand old melodramatic success of two con
tinents and two generations. "The Two
Orphans." This play, when presented by the
famous Kate Claxton, enjoyed the reputation
of having been performed more times than
any other piece ever presented in this coun
try. It Is a classic and everyone should
see It.
AT THE VATJDEVILIiE THEATERS
Ibsen's Tabloid Play.
Ibsen, the great dramatist, has written but
one tabloid drama and It Is the headline at
traction this week at the Grand. Ibsen has
never before shown so much humor and com
edy In his writings. David F. Perkins and
Henry A. Lappln present the translation. Ar
thur Rlgsby Is a minstrel monologist with
songs and stories which convulse the audience.
Hits at Pantages.
There are good things galore at Pantages
this week hit after hit keeping the au
diences busy with applause. The Sumatora
troupe of Japanese magicians and Illusion
ists offer a new -and amazing act. Harry
Lee, the Hebrew streetcar conductor, is
the comedy hit of the month. Miss Irene
Lee and the "Candy Kid" put on a neat
novelty act, and all the others are right
up to the minute. You will en.loy this
show. See it.
MAKES TOUR OF WORLD
Masonic Trowel Starting From New
York Reaches Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 7. The sil
ver Masonic trowel which was started
on a journey around the earth October
80, 1905, by Justice Lodge of New York,
reached Salt Lake today. It was pre
sented by the worshipful master of
Cheyenne (Wyo.) lodge to the Master
of Wasatch Lodge tonight. The trowel
will be retained here for 30 days, when
It will be passed on to a Western point
yet to be chosen.
Clearing Up Iiast Year's Grain.
DAYTON, Wash., Aug. . (Special.)
The Oregon Railroad & Navigation Rail
road Company have just finished ship
ping 4000 tons of last year's grain from
Turner, Wash., to Chicago. This ship
ment has been made during the past six
weeks.
Streetcar Smokers, Driven to
Front Platforms, Complain
Say Women Persist in Occupying Restricted Space Set Aside for Users
of the Weed.
TWO or three months ago there 'was
a movement among; certain fastidi
ous women to have smokers re
stricted from smoking on the platforms
of streetcars. The company in response
to many requests, ruled that smoking
would be permitted only on the front
platforms of vestibule cars and in the
two rear seats of open cars. The rule has
been stricly enforced. Now the smokers
are formulating; a complaint.
"Of all the unreasonable creatures on
earth It la women who complain of
tobactfo users and then monopolise the
brief space that has been set apart for
them," said a slave of the weed, who
rides much on cars, yesterday. "Do you
know that the front platforms of vestibule
cars are very often occupied entirely by
women while they always monopolize the
two rear seats of open cars?
"Within the past few days I have
frequently observed women lining the
smokers' seats when there was plenty ot
room elsewhere In the cars. And In
variably women with male escorts will
ta,ke up all the front platform seating
space: possibly because it is dark there.
"It Is bad enough for us who smoke to
be driven into a corner, but it is worse
to have that same corner taken away by
those who drove us there. It may not.
be pure meanness. I do not think it is.
But It la rankly Inconsiderate, to say the
least."
BIG INCREASE IN
CITY'S BIRTHRATE
Rapid Growth of Population
Proved by Statistics of
Health Department.
DOUBLED IN FOUR YEARS
Remarkable Showing for First Seven
Months of Current Year Births
Most Numerous in Months
of March and July.
Two hundred and thirty babies were
born In Portland during the past month
of July. This is the highest birth rate
ever recorded In this city. It Is prac
tically double the number of children
born during the same month four years
ago; for the Health Department figures
give 117 births for July, 1903. The present
birth rate is not due to any sudden or
unusual cause as is shown by the fact
that the total births for 1903 were 1343.
while the total tire first seven months
of 1907 is practically the same, or 1317.
According to these figures the birth rate
for July, 1993, is In round figures one
half that of July, 1907, and the birth rate
for the year of 1903 about equals that of
one-half of 1907. In other words, the birth
rate of Portland has doubled In four
years. I
It Is doubtful if any city, In America of
over 100,000 Inhabitants according to the
Federal census of 1900 can show such an
increase.
It la a fact so sure that all life in
surance companies depend on It as the
fundamental basis oh which to write their
risks, that out of 100,000 people a certain
percentage dies each year. This figure
varies little. It is so steady and unchang
ing that on it life risks can be figured
down almost to a cent years in advance.
All this has been proven by orer 60 years
of life insurance covering two genera
tions to date.
Shows Increased Population.
With this fact in mind a study of the
tables below showing Portland life and
death statistics will prove that the in
crease of the birth rate in Portland is
due to just one thing, an increase in pop
ulation just In proportion as the' births
and deaths have increased. If some one
month or year stood out In the tables
and showed an undue percentage as com
pared with the other figures it might be
viewed with suspicion. But the births for
the past month of July are, one will
notice, in an almost perfect -percentage
of increase as computed for seven years
back from 1900.
The following tables have been copied
and arranged from the official records
of the Portland Health Department.
They contain no estimates whatever, the
figures in each table are based solely on
actual results. Nor is the increase dur
ing the past four years in which Port
land, has doubled Its birth-rate due to
any extension of territory,' for the city
limits today are but little changed from
what they Were In 1903. Other cities have
increased both their populations and
their birth rates by the simple expedient
of increasing their territory, but the in
crease In Portland has not been due to
this.
Whatever Portland's population was in
1903 it has practically doubled -today.
Figured thus, 100 per cent in four years,
means an average of 25 per cent a year.
This balances with figures just given out
by Assessor Sigler that the actual cash
value of the City of Portland as a whole,
based on the amount of building material
Imported, manufactured and erected, and
on cash sales for bare land, has Increased
25 per cent during the past year.
Looked at from several widely different
standpoints It is a fairly safe thing to
say that: "Portland Is growing at the
rate of 2 per cent a month." The fol
lowing table shows births and deaths for
the first seven months of the current
year: .

EXPRESS CAUSES DELAY
Fruit Shipments Blamed for Ijate
Southern Pacific Trains.
Continued irregularity in the passenger
train service of the Southern Pacific and
O. R. & N. Companies is causing much
dissatisfaction among the merchants of
Portland. The delays are especially seri
ous for the reason that the mails are af
fected. The Postoffice authorities are
severely criticised for delays that the
railroads are entirely responsible for.
TVf prf.hnn whn hftvp ahlnmpnt.Q fin thpSA
ate trains are also receiving complaints
on account of delayed deliveries. This
occasions considerable loss as well as
much annoyance.
During the month of July overland train
No. 16, from Ean Francisco, arrived on,1
time Just once. This train during the
past week has been late nearly every day
from four to five hours.
Much of the delay is due to the heavy
express business in California, where con
siderable time is lost in the loading and
unloading of fruit shipments at fruit
shipping points. No time is lost after
trains enter Oregon, and between Rose
burg and Poraltnd from one to two hours
is usually made ud.
The delays on the O. R. & N. line are
also causing complaint. Train No. 6 has
been late one hour or more nearly every
day for the past week. Heavy business
is assigned as the cause for failure of
trains to arrive on time.
Normal Question to Go to Board.
SALEM, Or.,- Aug. 7. (Special.) Al
through the Attorney General has ren
dered his decision which, in the opinion
of Superintendent Ackerman and E.

State Board of Normal School Regents,
upholds the legality of the action of the
Board in authorizing the continuance of
the Monmouth and Drain normal schools
TWO
GRAND
BEACHES
Xowhere along the Pacific Coast are there to be found such ex
ceptional opportunities for Summer resorts as are adjacent to Bay
City. This means that within a year or so, thousands of Portland
ers, tourists and peopls from all parts of the world will be flocking
to the Tillamook Bay country. Bay City is the railroad center for
this section and the main point on the Lytle road. All traffic must
converge here. Garibaldi Beach, 11 miles long, extends from the
opening of Tillamook Bay north to the Nehalem River. Bayocean
Park, with eight miles of bay and ocean beach, extends along the
Tillamook Peninsula, south to Cape Meares lighthouse. These two
beaches are as smooth as glass. Bayocean Park is being developed
rapidly. A $250,000 hotel is about to be built. A company is now
platting a new resort at Garibaldi Beach, to be called Oceanlake
Park Beach. Others are in prospect. It means simply this, that
every DOLLAR placed in Bay City property now will yield TEN
DOLLARS within a year. The Lytle road will be completed in
1908. Information of all kinds will be supplied free by the Bay
City Board of Trade, Bay City, Oregon.
