THAT SPARKLING
WATER CAUSES
TROUBLE

The famous water supply Of TIA
coma, with its sparkling purity
and great volume, which Commits
sioner McGregor and Mayor LincS
have been descanting on for
months. got another hard jolt last
night in the council.
The Y. M. O. A. complained
that the water is too dirty to put
in the new swimming pool. The
swimming pool is clean and pure
white and when the Tacoma city
water Is put in, 1t makes a sorry
showing for the water.
The Independent Lumber COM
pany also sent In a claim to the
city for $500, which loss 1t sus-
tanned in recent fire, because OF
the alleged insufficient water sup
ply of the city at the time.
II citizens can collect damages
for losses sustained by reason of
the insufficient water supply the
claims on the council are likely to
be heavy, according to the COM
plants the past summer.

night sent to the council a letter

LITTLE STORIES
OF THE STREET

| A South Side matron who re-
Gently took up the study Of pyrog-
raphy had been working on col
lar box for her husband.

said. when showing 1t to a caller.
II think I'll have 1t all burned
by the end of the week."
| When she went to look for the
box the next day 1t was missing.
She inquired of the new maid IL
she had seen 1t.
THAT little box with scratches

yes; do you know where 1t
|is?"
"I heard you say something
about burning it," the girl re-
piled, "and thought would save
you the trouble; l threw 1t into
the furnace this morning."
He glanced about as he entered
"a Pacific avenue restaurant last
evening. A young woman wearing
a big black picture hat, sitting
alone at one of the tables, caught
his eye. That would be a good
table to eat at, he decided. He
could feast his eyes while feed
ing his palate. So he took the
chair opposite.
He wasn't in any rush lunohing
that day. He dallied with the
menu card and ordered epicurean
dishes with the languid air of the
Idilettante. OF course, this was
merely for effect, as he would
have preferred slice of roast
beer well done and eaten in a
hurry. But what's the use of put
ting up front If you don't do it
properly?
Twice he thought he caught
hasty glance in his direction from
under the brim of the big black
hat. He smiled. Clearly he was
getting on. He wasn't so young
as he used to be, perhaps, but he
wasn't a "has-been" yet by any
manner of means. No, stree!
He was rather disappointed
when she arose and left the table.
He watched her as she stopped at
the cashiers counter. He bowed
slightly as she gave him a quick
glance over her shoulder and
dropped his eyes quickly when he
saw the cashier looking.
Then he finished his lunch
hastily, planning to carry his con-
quest little further next day If
she of the hat appeared. On his
way out he dropped his check and
the cash to pay it in front of the
cashier and started on.
Wait moment, please" the
cashier called. You've forgotten
the other check"
In vain he protested that it
wasn't up to him to pay for two
lunches.
"She said her father would pay
for her check and pointed you
out" the cashier explained. "You
nodded your head that it was all
right"
Her father; huh!" grunted the
ldisgusted luncher, as he stepped
out into the street. He didn't re-
turn next day.

SUBSCRIPTION BALLOTS WILL CNCH The VICTORY FOR YOU
If YOUR FRIENDS HAVE PROMISED A SUBSCRIPTION, SEE
THEM AT ONCE; SOMETIME THEY FORGET AND
YOU LOSE The VOTES

The voting schedule as it appears in
the paper today is just as it will be
for the rest of the contest. Sub
scriptions will never be worth more
than they are today. Bring in your
ballots to which you are entitled,
and avoid the hurry and rush of
the closing days.
Bargain Period of Contest.
This will truly be the bargain
period of the great Journal contest.
BY a little extra effort enough votes
may be secured to build up an inn
pregnable reserve. Many candi-
dates have given us the assurance
that they are going to work the
next six days and work hard. Do
not let your competitor get the sub
scriptions in your locality pledged
before you awake to the proposition.
More votes will be issded this
week undoubtedly, than in all the
previous weeks put together. And
why not? This special vote offer
is the best inducement yet, and
those who do not take advantage of
it can readily see that they will
lose the opportunity of the race.
This is ''your last chance" and
candidates should take advantage of
this special offer. Votes issued on
will be increased just
100 per cent This is your last
chance to catch the leaders.
One Week Left.
Bear in mind that the contest has
not closed, nor will it close until the
hour and the minute and the second
scheduled When the hour of II is
doomed over a sleeping world your
chance of making up a lack of votes
will be brought to termination, but
til THAT time every young lady has
an equal opportunity.
The computation as to what
would happen is interesting from
many viewpoints. First, it shows
that practically very little has been
done by some of the candidates and
none of them has a sufficient NUMB ar
of votes so they can rest upon their
laurels with perfect confidence. A
little cooperation, little effort, a
few hours spent in actual canvassing
for votes, will suffice to change the
whole aspect of the contest. For eX-
ample, had the contest closed one
of the grand prizes, $425 Eilers
piano, would have gone to the lead

Absolutely the Final 0fer-Durng the Contest Pleasant Sur
prStS for All CandidateS-COnteSt Will Close Saturday
Evening at II O'Clock Sharp

But one more week remains in the
Capital Journal voting contest.
Next Saturday night the winners
will be decided. Be one of them.
As the last coupon has been printed
in the paper all candidates must de-
pend entirely on subscription ballots
for the remaining week of the con-
. test
" The wise ones are we'll fortified
with special subscription ballots or
the subscriptions with which to OBJ
tain them. There is but little work
connected with getting subscriptions
to the Capital Journal and what is
accomplished this week will win or
loose the grand prizes. Many Il race
is won by meek" and it is not
we'll for any candidate to feel that
she should relax her efforts till the
very close of the contest. The last
special ballot sent in may be the
winning card The last standing
of the candidates will be published
in Tuesdays afternoon paper. Posi-
lively no questions will be answered
relative to the standing of the con-
teStants.
Monday at o'clock the votes of
the different contestants will be
counted for the last time until the
final count which takes place after
the contest closes. This is done so
no one will have any idea how
much reserve the different contest
ants have, and also because the con-
test department must devote all
their time to waiting on the candi-
dates and others desiring to secure
votes.
Beginning Tuesday at 8 a. m, the
Capital Journal will run the final
special offer. This will be the last
also the best offer during the con-
test, and every contestant should
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1909-12-13

take advantage of it, as it might be
the means of your winning the
prize you are after. This offer is
bound to meet the approval OF
every contestant who is desirous of
winning one of the prizes. Extra
votes will be allowed on ali suo-
scriptions, old or new.
Candidates who are holding back
subscriptions should bring them in
now without fail. Subscriptions will
never count for so much again.
During the next few days it will
depend largely upon the efforts of
each candidate as to who will win
and who will not win. Done let
this chance slip by you. Your com
petitors will not, you may rest as
available subscription during the re-
naming days of the contest, you
may be defeated by a very small
margin.
Special Notice.
On account of the uncertainty of
mail reaching contestants in time to
be returned for the final count the
contest department will acknowledge
by letter all remittances received by
contestants after Wednesday, but
the votes will be deposited in the
ballot box for the final count in
stead of returning them as we have
done thus far. This only applies to
subscriptions sent us by mail.
Read the advertisement which ap-
pears on this page for full announce
ment of the affair. The scale upon
which the votes will be issued on
all subscriptions is outlined in the
