LITTLE IRMA MOVES UP
Here are few more subscriptions.
They are few and far between now, but
I hope to do better on Saturday"
writes Irma Klaumann in sending in
1850 votes. Irma made such COM
plete roundup of her friends in the
first period of the contest that 1t is not
surprising that the subscriptions she
gets now are "few and far between"
But she is attending school regularly
and does not have the time 70 devote to
the contest that she had during the
holidays, when she made such phenom-
email progress and succeeded in win
ming third prize, a purse of 5000. She
also received about $50 in commission
on new subscriptions Many of the
other contestants have expressed their
admiration and sympathy for the little
hustler from Pacific Grove, and con-
graduated her on her success Irna
has a very sympathetic disposition her
self and thus expresses herself with
regard to one of the new contestants:
81 am glad to see Jack the Newsboy'
ahead, and hope he can stay there. My
brother older than 1, is 13; he has a
crooked, twisted arm. 1t must be a
great deal worse to have only one arm"
says she in referring to Jacks misfor-
tune in having one arm cut or by a
train
Miss Irma's gain yesterday, small
though 1t was, was sufficient to take
her up three numbers to eighth place.
| Mrs. Theresa Coleman of Point Rich
mond made gain of 600. but slid down
the line one degree. along with Miss
Bockerman and Mrs. Deasy.
Mrs. ]. F. Doherty of Sacramento

his credit as a starter. James is the
bright young son of a well-known bar
ber, whose former home and place Of
business at Eighth and Folsom streets,

trieve the family fortunes by winning
big prize in this contest.
FREsNo'S NEW REPRESENTATIVES,
| Fresno, the world-famed Raisin City,
is to have a second representative in
the gold prize contest. Miss May Irwin,
one of the fairest OF the fair native
daughters of the raisin metropolis, won
] twelfth prize. a purse of $40, by a
little effort in the first period OF the
contest. Now comes Hattie NJ Hop
pock, another popular young lady of
! that town, and declares herself candi-
date for the second period. She thinks
the famous Raisin City and raisin
county are rich enough and enterpris-
! ing enough to support two successful
candidates in the contest for gold.
! The ease with which Miss Erwin won
$40 in the first period convinces Miss
| Hoppock that she can do as we'll and
