PRETTY GIRLS
IN LIVELY RACE
Misses Sawyer, Mckay. Levan and

DEVELOPMENTS OF INTEREST

One of the liveliest as well as ono
of the most interesting contests ever
waged in Grand Junction is now trav-
cling rapidly toward its zenith. 1t is
the race between a Lumber of exceed
ingly pretty and popular young ladies
of the city for the honors attending
the election of two young ladies by
the voting system inaugurated by the
two local daily papers to delegate
ships to the great National Apple
Show to be held in Denver early next
month. These two girls, whoever
they may be, will also enter the COM
petition for the high honors of the
apple queenship. However, the dele
gateships alone, with their attending
round of gaieties, big social features
sightseeing trips, etc, planned fol
the young ladies by the management
of the great show, are sufficient to
cause any girl to desire to be chosen
as delegate.
During the past two days the vot-
ing has become particularly heavy
and the contest is growing warmer
and more exciting every hour. The
contest between the fair rivals Is at
tracing the attention of everybody.
Each of the young ladies has big
following of enthusiastic friends do
ing all in their power to see that their
favorite captures the coveted honors.
Tomorrow will be the last day on
which The News and The Sentinel
will accept nominations for new can
didates. 1t is rumored that several
new candidates will be entered in the
race tomorrow. 1t is also rumored
today that perhaps one of the young
ladies now in the race will withd ra W

would be best to bring the contest to
close on Monday evening. Decem-

for the accommodation of the young
ladies in the race as it is not desira-

which the winners must leave the
city for Denver.
