Facts and Features.
Facts and features which made the
contest a success from every stand
point are interesting The very first
thing which demands consideration is
the tremendous number Of votes cast.
During the competition over $780, 600
votes were cast This tells the story;
IT leaves comment unnecessary. Were
nothing else printed regarding the af-
fair this would mark it as an astound-
ing success.
Candidates who won deserve congrat-
ulations and are getting them from all
hands. One of the first features noticed
by the public was that the best prizes
obtainable were offered those who were
to participate in the competition. The
public saw the prizes, admired them,
and expressions of admiration were
given freely by all. So the candidates
who won. won high and big. The Her
aid congratulates them.
Non-Winners' Consolation.
And The Herald is proud of those who
too Everyone could not win, and those
in the less fortunate list realize that TO
have made a good try is something to
regard proudly. The nOn-winners made
good runs and furnished no end of
competition. They kept the race excit-
ing from start to finish, and have shown
their popularity throughout the inter
mountain region and beyond its boun-
daries. The non-winners proved that
they have friends by the scores, and a
wide circle of acquaintance is some
thing only the best men and women can
have. The large followings shown by
the non-winners, as well as the win
ners, proved that those who entered the
contest have something which is a fac
tor in life, more valuable and highly
/ treasured than material things.
All candidates-and there We're about
800 entrants in this competition-have
spoken time and time again of the up-
right and generous methods pursued by
those in charge of the contest, and are
now repeating these welcome speeches.

tried for, lost or won. The happiest
feature was that it closed with the can
didates proud of their relation to The
Herald. and The Herald proud of hav-
! ing them entered in its competition.

such a glorious termination to a glori-
Gus contest.

and nursed by il will not terminate with

having found The Herald the best,
squarest, most generous paper in the
west. all candidates will be its friends
