Mrs. J. F. Doherty of Sacramento
has made another attempt to cap
ture first place in the gold prize con-
test and again has failed to effect
her purpose. She and Miss Merani,
whose reign as queen of the contest
during the present period has been
almost unbroken, usually advance at
the same time, and Miss Merani almost
invariably makes the larger gain.
Yesterday morning there was diff
ference of less than 1000 between the
two leaders. Mrs. Doherty gained
1900 during the day. and Miss Merani
1880. so the latter still holds the
post of honor by plurality of 1000
votes Mrs. Doherty has a score of
exactly 175,000 this morning, and will
doubtless pass the 200. 900 mark be-
fore the end of the week.
The Sacramento agency of The Call
is literally swamped with subscrip-
tion business brought in by Mrs.
Doherty. Miss Merani is keeping the
Oakland and San Francisco offices
new subscribers. The offer of friends
of Mrs. Doherty to wager money on
her ability TO defeat Miss Merani has
reused the fighting blood of the Ital-
ian colony throughout the State. and
the sons of sunny Italy are deter
mined that their fair young country
woman shall not get left.
Sacred Heart College registered a
gain of 1850 yesterday, and still is
sauntering along in third place, a long
way behind its two doughty rivals.
Brother Lewis, the resourceful presi-
dent of the college, entered the col
lege in the race with the firm deter
mination to win first prize in each
period and the grand capital sweep
stake prize, making total of $25OO
for the rehabilitation of the college
library Brother Lewis generally gets
what he goes after.
Miss Hayward has added another
2500 votes to her score, and Jack
Emerson has made gain of 1000.
Miss Breschini. the little Swiss rose
of Monterey County, has received a
contribution of 11,100 votes from
Soledad. and is now almost even with
Jack the Newsboy."
Miss TflIie Hartz of Danville has
captured seventh place from Emile
Iversen of Sausalito by gain of $500.
Mrs. Rosa E. Tracy has captured
No. 13 again from Miss Hoppock by
the insignificant gain of 500.
Shasta and Santa Barbara counties
both contributed to Miss Gladys Ad-
cocks support yesterday, a gain of
1900 votes altogether. which took her

leaves her once more within the $40
class of prize winners. This gives
the little invalid great encourage
ment.
Mrs. Mary c. Deasy of Napa has re-
turned from her long vacation trip,
and has resumed work in the contest,
intending to devote herself to it as
siduously until the end of the period.
She has signalized her return by a
gain of 500, which has moved her up
from No. % to No. II.
William Van Allen of Ukiah, in
sending in 900 votes for Mrs. Deasy,
says: ~I never saw her nor heard
of her till she entered The Call con-
test. She did so well in the first
period that ] took an interest in her,
and hope she will win good money
this time" Mrs. Deasy won second
prize, $500. in the first period.
Miss Effie Vaughn of Merced has
registered a gain of 1850, but "23" is
still her number.

any contestant whom the subscriber
may desire to assist in getting a share

ing the highest number of such votes

larger prizes given for the highest ag-
gregate scores.

TRACTION AUTOS TO BE
USED In WORK ON CANAL

~ RACTION automobiles are the
/ latest thing for the Panama canal,
and their use, according to officials
of the canal in Washington, presages
the doom of the ancient and time
honored railroad velocipede, now used
by track walkers and employees in
charge of switch lights in sparsely
populated communities. 1t is not be-
yond the realm of probability, in the
opinion of some of them, that the run
ming of automobiles on railroad tracks
will become a fad If the railroads will
stand for it.
The purchasing agent of the COM
mission has advertised for two such
machines for use on the railroad
across the Isthmus of Panama cap
able of carrying ten persons each and
able to make a speed of 40 miles an
hour on level track with the engine
running at normal speed. The en-
CINE must be stout enough to climb
a grade of eight per cent, and to in
crease their speed to % per cent.
above normal, or, in other words, to
make so miles an hour. The car must
burn ordinary stove gasoline and have
a capacity to go 125 miles at fun
speed and load. 1t is the purpose of
the commission to place these cars
in the inspection department for the
use of the chief engineer and his as-
sistants, who now have to rely on
passing passenger, freight, dirt or
special trains in inspecting the work
along the canal
