The Times word and letter contest
closes week from tonight, by which
time all answers must be submitted In
dications point TO as exciting II finish
as the first contest had. and perhaps
IL will be more so, because contestants
realize that the result is up to them
TO find, and hundreds are holding back
their answers to see if they cannot dis
cover another word to consume some of
the remaining letters.
A contestant, who brought in his list
of words last evening, said he was hav-
ing the time OF his life over the puzzle.
He had gotten so many words and
then, IN trying to make another, he
had lost one he already had, and now
he was staying up nights to see If he
could not work it in again. Another
contestant had worked all one evening
trying to get out an additional word
with the result that he had lost one let
ter, and he was endeavoring 10 discover
where 1t had gone. He thought he
would have been better off had he al

The consensus of opinion of all who
are working on the present puzzle, and
who also worked on the first is that the
contest now running is more interesting
that the former. because IL is a genuine
puzzle with so many thousands OF COM
binations that. work how they will, n,
two people can get the same result, and
whatever result they do get, they have
nothing to help them beyond their own

The whaling schooner Monterey,
smallest of the blubber- hunters, is
meeting with success in the northern
waters, and if Captain Foley harpoons
not another whale between now and
the end of the cruise, he still will be
a goodly pile Of dollars ahead of his
venture.
Word was received yesterday from
Dutch Harbor that the Monterey was
there and that she had taken four big
whales. The Monterey T cached the
Alaska port July "a and three days
later was 10 leave for a hunt in the
Arctic before bringing her bone and
blubber to market.
The Monterey was the first of the
whalers to use a gasoline engine as
auxiliary motive power. Whalemen
shook their heads and declared that
Captain Foley was making a sad mis-
take. The 'choo- chooing" of a gaso-
line engines exhaust, they declared
would stampede the most conservative
whale that ever chewed up a boat or
assimilated the bombs, harpoons and
other deadly weapons and hardware
with which whalemen sometimes fail
to kill their monster quarry.
If the Monterey's exhaust did make
a noise, Captain Foley did not follow
its example. He said nothing, but went
ahead installing the engine. The ma
chinery behaved badly on last years
cruise, which was the first cruise OF
the gasoline engine. In spite of break
downs, however, Foley satisfied him
self that there was nothing the matter
with his idea, and before starting on
his present voyage he equipped the
Monterey with a new engine.
The little schooner Abbie +. Morris
from Seattle. for whose safety some
anxiety was felt, arrived at Dutch Har-
Dor July 26. The revenue cutters Thetis
and Perry were also there on July "a
