YOUNG ORFILA |S AFTER
 PRIZE
Bright Son of Bisbee Attorney in Vote Contest of Los
 Angeles Times.

Orestes Orfiila, eldest son of Attor- new A. 0rfila, of this city. arrived in the city last evening from Tucson in company with his fatht-. Young Or fila enjoys the distinction of being the third prize winner of the Los Angeles Times voting contest in 1905. He is again a candidate, at the instigation of the Times, for second honors in the same line. Ow'tg to the sect that young Orfla entered the Times con test late in the season last year, he was unable to get the first prize, but for the time devoted to the work he outstripped all competitors, running close to the leaders. He will make a strong bid for the first-prize in this years contest.
 Young Orfila is a bright looking youngster, but Is years of age. He modestly replied to the Review mans question as to his chances to win that he would try his best to do SO" and that was about all that the young fel- low could be prevailed upon to say.
 Arfong those who lent their assist ance and patronage to Orfila in the 1905 contest for Times honors were many prominent officials of both Ari- zona and Mexico.
 The Times gives an annual prize to those who secure the highest number of subscribers to that paper. and schol- arships and money are ihs.dded . the list. These are eagerly sought l'y the enterprising youth of the Southwest.
 Young Orfila secured a large num- Der of subscriptions outside the con fines of the United States, the pop ulerity of the Orfiia name in Mexico probably contributing, to his success. Still the young man deserves much credit for the tireless work he per formed.
 For the past school year. young Orfila has been in attendance cn school at Los Angeles, his tuition be- ing paid for by the Times as per their scholarship agreement with vote get ters. ..
 Orfila is making the race this year at the urgent solicitation of the Times management who would not listea 10 his first determination to withdraw from the contest. It was with the greatest difficulty and much Tersua- .sive argument, spent not alone upon the boy. but upon his father as well. that he became a contestant for hon CTS in the contest about to be in- augurated.
 Young Orfila stopped over in Yuma on his way to his home st Tucson re. cently. Commenting upon his visit, a Yuma paper has the following 70 say anent the subject:
 ''The Los Angeles Times scholar ship contest in Arizona promises to keep pace with the weather, from all appearances Orestes Orfila. who last year boiled over a quarter of million votes as the candidate from Tucson and won the third choice of scholar ships and about $i00 in gold. is here. He has attended school at Los Angeles for the past year and has decided to make fight this time for first place. It is, of course, understood that Miss Wilma Gibson, the Yuma contestant, does not intend to remain idle while Orfila carries off first honors, but will be heard from at all stages of the contest. Orfila has many warm friends in Yuma, who have promised him gen. eious support, and the vote cast for him here last year-which was over 19.G00-should reach 10000 at least.
 "Orestes stopped of for a visit here before going home to Tucson. where he intends to roll up his sleeves-and also the votes. MT. Orfila expressed himself as fully confident of winning first choice of scholarships, first money (which is s200) and the $500 piano."
