whole the cattle business forms a large
portion of the monetary benefit Portland
receives In the course of winter.
Speaking OF the cattle business IL Is in
teresting to note that not few wide
awake Portland young man have obtained
a glimpse OF England through 1t. Ths
other day two young men, who are we'll
educated and who hold good positions,
determined to ship as cattle tenders to 90
to England for the holidays. They OBJ
tained leave Of absence from their en-
ployers and signed articles for the voyage.
Each man reoslved u pound in English
money for the trip and a passage back to
Portland. 1t meant hard work, plain
but nutritious food and rough life for a
FEW weeks on the voyage, but they win
see England or q part OF II at any rate
during the holidays and 1t viii not cost
them a great deal to do 30. A PRESS
representative saw these young men just
before they sailed and had to promise not
to print their names. "I don't regard 1t
as anything TO be ashamed of in trying
to see little of the world In this way"
said one OF the young men, "but don't
want to be called q cattleman all my life
and 1 should never hear the last of it II
my name got into the paper"
The cattlemen have no difficulty In
shipping all the men they require for this
work though many OF those who go out
as cattle tenders make a regular business
of sailing to and from on these cattle
carrying ships.

the indications are from the contracts for
steamship space which have so far been
made that more cattle will be shipped
through this port this season than ever
before. Yesterday there were at the East
Deering stock yards twelve hundred
handsome western steers waiting for ship
ment to England and many more are on
few years ranked high as a cattle ship
ping port and owing to the care which Is
taken Of the stock shipped here by DIR.
the railroad ana steamship
people, 1t is very popular port with
cattle shippers.
After their long journey in cars from
the West the cattle are unIoaded at the
East Deering yards to wait shipment.
They are finely cared for there and are
given a good rest and plenty OF food 60
gst them into shape for their sea voyage.
Steers shipped out OF Portland seem to
arrive in the English markets In better
condition than those shipped from other
points and this fact alone has much to do
with the popularity of Portland as a
shipping point for cattle. The port is
fortunate in having DIR. Huntington in
charge Of the government inspection. He
is painstaking and very much liksd by
the steamship and railroad officials alike
and exercises the greatest care in the dis
charge of his duties. Much of the promi-
nence Portland has gained as a shipping
point Is saia to be due this genial official.
This industry alone leaves many thou
sands OF dollars in Portland In the course
Of season. Much hay and food for cattle
is bought here and also a great deal OF
lumber which Is used in fitting up the
ships for the proper protection of the anil
mals Then much money Is left here

GREEKS SUFFERING.

Thirty Greek people arrived in the city
on the late train from Halifax Tuesday
evening. The night was SO stormy that
they remained at the station. Yesterday
morning they started to go down Con-
gress street. They were poorly clad and
their appearance aroused the sympathy of
several people. Col. George II. McQuil-

particularly active In bsnefiting the
sufferers. Through their aid the Greeks
were taken in electric cars to James

A food that will naturally stimulate

merit ana be worthy the ATTENTION of any
person with a weak stomach. S, ID.
HORNE OF Grinnell, Iowa, writes: "By
pure food seems to me the true way to
get we'll. After a long time at one OF the
best equipped sanitariums, without bene-
fit, was put under a famous doctor who
said that did not need rest so much as

pure food, and was put on Grape-Nnts

have not fully recovered my strength by
any means, but have made a most won
derful progress on Grape-Nuts food. 1t
leads me to the knowledge that nervous
prostration is simply nerve starvation.
The nerves are FRUSTRATED because they
are starved. A starved man does not need
rest, but he needs food.
''To he sure the famished nerves are
forced to rest, but rest cannot restore
them. They can build up on food alone
With my first meal of Grape-Nuts- food
was too weak to feed myself, but after
partaking of the food, a hopeful spirit,
almost amounting to buoysncy, possessed
me.
"I can account for the speedy effect of
the food on no other ground than that it
is so easily digested that only a little
time and force is required to prepare it
for the blood, whereas ordinary food
requires SO much force 20 digest 1t that 1t

The Press Cycle club team won the
team race. and the Shoe City Wheelmen
of Brockton were second. just two points
behind. IL was lap race, and a pretty
fight took place on each sprint
The horse racing was all lively and well
contested. Terrell s., ch. g., driven by
Laselle, showed it's woSth in the s:lO pace
He was set back 10 last after winning on
Thursday, for interference In the second
heat he came back 20 second, and then
the race was postponed until today. Ter

winner of Thursday in second place.
IL took seven heats 10 decide the 2:9

ElKES' FAST RIDING.

At Brockton last night every record
from two miles to the hour was broken by
Harry Elkes at the Shoe City oval in a
race with Arthur Ross. He covered the
distance of 80 miles. 1045 yards. beating
the record OF Chase. made two weeks ago
at the Paris Exposition, OF IS miles, l5i
yards.
The new record Is phenomenal from the
fact that Elkes rode with the ordinary
pace, without wind shields. while Chase
had all these projections.
Elkes was further impeded toward the
end of the hour by heavy fog. which 50
dampened the track as to make riding
dangerous. The race was TO have been a
three -cornered one between Stinson
Elkes and Moran. but because OF the
small attendance Stlnson and Moran re-
fused TO ride and Elkes started out with
Ross as a competitor.
Ross was never I'm IL for a moment, and
al the end Of the hour, although he rode
plucl<iy throughout. he was four miles
and three quarters behind. In his ride OF
yesterday Elkes beat by one mile 571 yds
all previous records. Elkes' tandem was
manned by w. +. Saunders and w. Z.
Tinzier.

through. In the second mile he was two
fifths of a second behind the record. From
