 Look out for a regular bunch of sur prises tomorrow
 The contest girls have been working quietly, but hard, during the past three days and today there will be regular snowstorm of ballots in the Silver Bcji counting room.
 In order to compete in the weekly prize contest for 50,O0O votes, contes- tants must have all subscription cou- pons and singles secured during the week drawing to close in the contest editor s hands tonight.
 The award of 50,00O votes will be made to the young lady securing the greatest number of new subscribers dur ing the coming week, which will end at , P. m, September I. The unit of count will be one month. and to the young lady securing the greatest mum Der of months in the shape of time sub scriptions will receive the prize and will be credited with 50,000 votes on Sun day morning, September ,. For in. stance. if you secure subscriber for one year you will be credited with F points, or one point for each month of the gross number of months secured.
 There was light vote east yesterday aud the positions of the candidates are the same as on Friday morning Miss Anna Egner received handsome vote yesterday and it is the wish of many of her friends that she qualify today and enter the contest in district two in earnest. Miss Anna is popular through out the city and has received big un- solicited vote. This is the last day for qualification and the contest editor would like to see the star opposite her name tomorrow.
 There are splendid chances in the thisl and fourth districts for eandi dates. When trip to Southern Califor mia is so easy within reach it seems n pity to merge any of the districts and curtail the number of happy young la dies to whom this trip is open.
 Down the valley in district No. 5 Miss Shivers and Miss Ryan are doing good work and adding many new names to the Silver Belt s circulation list. The young ladies did not report yesterday and big batch of votes from that dis trict is expected today.
