The Contestants and How The Stand

Future subscriptions.

Contestants may tlnd IN SOIne
cases friends who wish to help them
in the contest by subscribing for The
Journal but are already taking a To-
cal paper which is paid in advance
and not desiring to receive more than
one local daily in their homes at the
same time the contest department has
arranged to accept and issue votes on
each such subscription, the paper 10
start at any future date that the sub
scriber may designate.
Industrious Forge Ahead.
The list of candidates and the
number of votes received by each
show that the industrious are forg-
ing ahead in the battle of the bal
lots. The votes are free, but In
many cases it is necessary for the
candidates to go around among their
friends and gather them in. These
free votes are given for payments
on subscriptions and also for cou-
pons and nomination blanks printed
| in the paper daily. The votes on
the sub-payment on subscriptions,
for new subscriptions and also for
, coupons and nomination blanks
printed in the paper daily. The
votes on the subscriptions are free
and the number is in proportion to
the amount paid at the regular rate.
Small Payments.
Candidates that have taken sub
scriptions for one, two or three
months at the beginning of the con-
test should get these subscribers to
pay the rest of the year as they are
still considered new.
For example, a person who sub
scribed for the paper and paid so
! cents, received 700 votes, by getting
them to pay $3.50 more you will be
given is 900 votes, less the 700 votes
you have already received on the SO
cent payment, or 14,300 votes on
$3.50 payment. This ruling also
applies to any second payment you
may secure. The price by mail and
at suburban stores is $4.00 per year,
or 80 cents per month. Second pay
ments made at this rate count the
same number of votes, but in all
cases six months or more must be
added to entitle you to the second
payment. When turning in such
payments, kindly mark your stub
second payment"
Magnitude of Contest.
The contest, by this distribution
of such a great number of prizes and
the value attached thereto, becomes
one of state wide interest. Thou
sands of people will watch closely
the standing of the various candi-
dates and for that reason the stand
ing of the candidates and the num-
ber of votes to their credit will be
published daily. All will then know
just where each one stands and can
work accordingly.
Second Payments.
A great many people do not under
stand, and for their information we
wish to say that anyone starting to
take the paper since the contest start
ed will always be considered a new
subscriber during the life of the con-
test and votes given accordingly. II
you start the paper now pay some
thing in advance and wish to pay
more later during the contest you
will still be considered a new sub
scriber and votes will be issued ac-
cordingly.

f. I. Davis, of Hermiston, has re-
signed his position with the United
States reclamation service and leaves
within n few days, accompanied by
his mother Mrs. Laura Davis, for
Lima. Peru. where he has a splendid
appointment in engineering, Mr. Da-
Wis was assistant engineer in charge
of the construction of Colds Spring
dam at Hermiston and has won con-
siderable recognition in the reclama-
tion service by his splendid ability in
his work, as the result of which his
present appointment comes.
Ned Davis was perhaps the dis
coverer of Hermiston from the gov
ernment's standpoint. 1t was he who
had charge of the preliminary sur
veys which demonstrated the FEAST
bllity of the project and was promi-
nently identified with the work until
the completion of the dam last sum-
mer, when he was again put into the
field as a scout and has just COM
