The San Francisco call., 1907-01-30

didates. let no one forget that Sacra-
mento is still on the map. Even if the
capital city has the Legislature on it's
hands, it has other things to furnish
diversion for the readers of The Call.
One of them is the part a fair Sacra-
mentan. Mrs. ]. F. Doherty. is taking
in the gold prize contest. Mrs. Doherty
has made up her mind to win some of
the big money and she is certainly go
ing after it in very vigorous manner.
By a gain of 14.050 yesterday she more
than doubled her score, though she did
not advance in position. She has. how
ever, so firmly intrenched herself in
fifth place that it will take hard work
10 dislodge her, and unless Jack the
Newsboy" gets a move on very prompt
ly she viii GUST him from fourth place.
OTHERS ON THE MOVE
Christ Church Athletic Club of Sau-
salito has registered a gain of $3.50
and remains all secure in sixth place
but will have to keep on increasing
its score to stay there very long. as
several ambitious contestants farther
down the line will soon be giving 1t a
lively race.
Miss Emile Hayward by a gain Of
$500 has moved up two degrees to sew
enth place at the expense of James
Anis Quinn and Mrs. Theresa Cole
man. These three contestants are very
closely grouped, and it will be inter
esting to note how they will be stacked
up at the end of the next twenty-four
hours. If Miss Hayward can get up
the steam she put into her campaign
in the first period of the contest, when
she won fourth prize, $3.50. Mrs. Cole
man and Master Quinn will find it diff
ficult to again overtake her.
MRS. LAUDON ON DECK AGAIN
Mrs. John Laudon of I64 Silver
street and Miss Magda Steinkamp of
Rescue, Cal. two prize winners in the
first heat of the race. have come into
the running again with 1000 votes
each to begin with. thus being a tie
for twenty second place.
Mrs. Laudon, very popular German
lady, won tenth prize. $50, in the first
period She hopes her friends will
help her to do as well or better in this
period. Mrs Laudon is ably assisted
by her young son, John Laudon Jr.
whose picture was published in last
Sundays Call Master John is devel-
oping into fine young business man
He is a handsome boy and has a digni-
ned. CHEEKY manner that makes him
seem older than he is. John Laudon
Sr and his wlIe are people who enjoy
the confidence of all who know them.
and little John is chip of the old
block. He would make a good con-
testant himself, but he is content to
help his mother, like the dutiful son
that he is.
Ell DORADO COUNTY HEROINE
Miss Magda Stein.amp succeeded in
winning a $40 prize in the first period
and is very eager to be no less fortu-
nate again. She is greatly handi-
capped in the race by the remoteness
of the place in which she lives Most
of the people around her home take
only the weekly edition of The Call,
therefore it is hard for her to get
votes in very large numbers. She i'm
plores all the Ell Dorado County people
to help a girl from their own county
to win a prize. She would personally
canvass the whole county if it were
not so difficult for her to travel during
the rainy season, when all the streams
are so high and the fords dangerous.
She has already risked her life sew
eral times in fording swollen streams
while engaged in the contest work. A
girl of such pluck deserves assistance
and should receive more voluntary
contributions of votes. Joseph Lyon
of Grizzly Flats has given her 1000
votes to begin her score for this pc
riod.
SON OF NIPPON CATCHES ON
And now comes S. Nishimura, an en-
terprising son of Nippon, and ESSAYS to
win some of the gold. There is no en-
terprise in which the subjects of the

since the Japanese school question in
San Francisco has become an interna-
