Many Favor Portland Candidate as
Man to beat Ronnie.
Indications that the Lowell vote has
decided that Ben Selling Is the only
man who can beat Senator Bourne for
the Senatorial nomination are con
tained in the following letter received
at Selling headquarters yesterday from
a prominent cltlsen of Oregon:

reply to your communication because
I believed Its purpose was to inspire
my support. I did not. however, cen
sure you In this respect and considered
It exceedingly good politics, being both
beneficial and clean.
"At the time mentioned, however, I
had determined to support Judge Low
ell. of Pendleton, whom I have person
ally met and In whose ability and Integ
rity I have learned to have consider
able confidence. I hare now become
convinced that Lowell has absolutely no
chance for nomination and that the
tight Is between Senator Bourne and
yourself.
"It has never been my policy to dic
tate letters to candidates for state of
fice announcing my support, but inas
much as I am firmly convinced that
Senator Bourne has misrepresented the
State of Oregon altogether too long,
that he stamls In a class by himself

a pamphlet containing 101 reasons

REGISTRATION MAY RE 120.000
Secretary Olcott's Estimate Relieved
to Be Nearly Right.
SALEM. Or.. April 9. (Special.)
While registration for the primaries
closed throughout the state at 6 o'clock
this afternoon, it probably will be sev
eral days before the total figure can
be ascertained by the Secretary of
State's office.
From some of the counties final re
ports on the registration lists come In
late, notably from such counties as
Curry, where the facilities for travel
are few and It is necessary to sent out
mounted messengers from the county
seats with the lists.
The corrupt practices act pamphlets
will be sent out as long as the lists
are received up to the final date when
It will be possible for them to be re
ceived by voters. The . estimate of
120.000 for the total of voters register
ing before the primaries, as given out
recently by the Secretary of State. It Is
believed does not overstep the mark to
any great extent.

Tonight the Young Men's Taft Club,
of Astoria, will hold a smoker In that

Mayor Rushlight Will Ask Water
Board to Grant Authority for
Expert to Work Out Plan
of Improvements.
No report was made to the Water
Board by tho expert who has been
checking: over the books in the various
offices under control of the board, but
Mayor Rushlight said- yesterday that
the'report will be submitted in the near
future.
So far as can be learned, no star
tling feature will be contained In the
forthcoming report. It being the belief
that the shortage of Fred R. Snod
grass, who fled recently to avoid
prosecution,-is the only one discovered.
Mayor Rushlight, however. Is certain
that the report of the expert will re
veal a condition of affairs which will
demand action by the Board, to the ena
that a complete new system of checking
the purchase and use 01 supplies anu
collection for water usage may do in
stituted.
Change In Method Wanted.
The Mayor will ask the Water Board
to grant authority, after the report is
considered, to Instruct the expert to
work out a system that will remedy
existing conditions, and this authorlty
verv likelv will be given. The Mayor
believes that the position of cashier
should be created and that the cashier
in Hu-h office of the department should
be responsible for the collection of the
office, a system similar to mat usea
by the gas and electric light com
panies. At present a large number of clerks
are employed, each of whom receipts
for money from patrons of the various
districts. Under the system proposed
by the Mayor, these clerks would sup
plv statements for consumers and du
plicated bills would be presented to
each patron, as is the case with the
gas and electric light companies.
There is no checking system in the
purchase of supplies now, and this Is
one of the weakest features of the de
partment, in the estimation of Mayor
Rushlight. He wants a plan devised
that will make it impossible for any
material bought at, public expense to
be sold to private parties or to be mis
placed in any manner, he explains.
Main la Ordered.
The Water Board yesterday passed
upon a large volume of business,
among which was the ordering of a
main in Corbett street. South Portland,
ahead of a proposed hard-surface im
provement. This will make a complete
street when the paving is done. City
Engineer Hurlburt was present to ex
plain the necessity of prompt action
in this regard, as bids for the paving
are to be opened soon. The Board
rrantpri the necessary pipe without
hesitation or debate.
There is a possibility that the Mayor
and members of the Board will con
sent to the arbitration of all or parts
of a bill presented several months atfo j
by the Schaw-Batcher Company fori
extra work on the installation of tho
Bull Run conduit No. 2. J. C. Alns-
worth. a member of the Board, said
that he felt that there are Hems in
the bill which should be allowed, and
that the best means of adjusting the
same la arbitration.
T. B. Wilcox. K. W. Winn and W. B.
Mackay. the other members, were of
the same opinion, but as Mayor Rush
light had not yet read the bill, i
wished further time In which to study
it. At a special meeting scheduled for
April 18 the subject will be decided.

Why Should a Chicken
Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg?
Because, Willie, the chicken don't know how to create a hard shelled egg
unless it has some food with lime in it.
So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or
some other fiJrm of lime.
Let the chicken wander freehand it finds its own food and behaves sensibly.
Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled.
Let's step from chickens to human beings.
Why is a child "backward" and why does a man or woman have nervous
prostration or brain-fag? .There may be a' variety of reasons but one thing is
certain.
If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve
centers and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken
down by the activities of yesterday. '
Phosphate of Potash is the most important element nature demands to
unite albumen and water to make gray matter. -
Grape-Nuts food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form.
-A chicken can't always select its own food, but a thoughtful man can select
suitable food for his children, wife and himself.
