Buenos Ayers Regulates Meat Prices

A novel experiment for the control
and regulation of the price of meat
and other foodstuffs has been tried
by the municipality of Buenos Ayres,
and has proved entirely successful.
A number of open markets were estab-
lished in different public squares,
where meat and groceries were sold at
little above cost prices. This brought
the butchers and grocers to terms and
they agreed to submit their selling
prices to the municipality from time
to time and allow it to exercise control
over them.

more work and ''sticktoitiveness'
than people would suppose. 1t is
! true that the most popular young
ladies are entered in the race and
everyone in the territory embraced
are desirious of having a finger in
the pie of helping these young ladies
win the prize they seek. This is the
best evidence of the large number Of
votes received by The Capital Jour
nal which comes from every nook and
corner of Salem and the surrounding
region.
Every candidate in the race seems
to have taken it as her duty bound
to make as good showing as possible
this week and is going after new sub
scriptions at an unparalleled pace.
The candidates mat go after the
new subscriptions, and pitch right in
with a firm determination to win,
and give the other candidates the
contest of their lives, are the ones
that are sure to come out victorious
in the end. Nothing is gained by
laying back and letting some one
else pick up the prizes of life. Moth
ing like this will ever be given in
Salem again, very probably, and the
opportunity grasped Immediately and
striven for earnestly, will not be re-
gretted.
OF course, it is impossible to pre-
dict the outcome of the contest at the
present, as the records now do not
necessarily indicate future standing
and success in winning. The sub
scriptions are coming in more rapidly
every day and the number of votes
which are going out as reserves ex-
ceed the number of votRs being cast. !
Despite this fact, the daily increase
in the vote is noticeable and the peo-
pie all over Salem and vicinity are
watching with eagerness the outcome /
OF the race. 1t is good idea to poll !
a few votes from day to day, TO let |
people see you are in earnest in the /
mtter and really desire one of the /
many high priced prizes.
1t Pays to Advertise.
At least a half dozen Of the coun-
try contestants are using their local
newspapers in making the campaign.
There may be others, and it is an en-
'ellent idea. Nearly all the readers

Hearken, ye old subscribers to the
Capital Journal. The time is grow
ing very short in which you may rem
der assistance to your favorite can
didate in the great contest now be-
ing conducted by this newspaper tc
determine the most popular young la
dies in the Treasure state. Never in
the history of such a contest has SO
liberal an offer been made. 1t is an
opportunity to give some young lady
friend a lift" that may mean for one
of the crowning ambitions of her life
the winning of one of the grea,
prizes offered by this paper.
OF course, you have been saving
your coupons for some one. Now
that arduous task may be accom-
plished in the easiest manner imag-
Unable, with result which so far as
votes are concerned is doubled, trip
led or magnified in almost any degree
imaginable. The process is simple,
and costs you absolutely nothing. AL
ready you are a subscriber to The

reasonable that you purpose it's con-
tinuance.
Simply call in or notify your choice
in the great race and give her your
renewal for one month, six months,
one year, two years or five years,
whatever the case may be, and she
upon depositing this with the contest
department, is given an extra vote
ranging from seven hundred for the
first mentioned period, to fifteen
thousand for one year, forty thousand
for two years and in that proportion
for an indefinite period. Those
votes may mean an automobile, an
upright Eilers piano, a diamond
ring, a scholarship in the Holmes
Business college or fine gold watch
But action must be prompt. This
offer expires Thursday night, Nov.
%, and positively will not be repeat
ed during the contest. Only one con-
dition is mposed-that the renewal
be for cash. You cannot afford to
slight this golden opportunity, which
as in the case in life-knocks at
ones doors none too frequently.
Oregon's gallahtry never had a bet |
ter opportunity to express itself, and |
that your efforts will be appreciated |
by the candidates cannot be gainsaid. |
The standing of the contestants as |
presented today shows greater |
change than at any time since the |
started, and is a sure indica-
tion that the prizes are much sought /

perViSor.

Hugh A. AtcMillin, recently appointed
supervisor Of the census for Utah, yes
terday received an official notification
Of the approval of his appointment by

ditions. The letter notifying Mr.. Nc

lin was enclosed a COPY OF a letter from

tary of the department of commerce

either OF the Maine senators should
pass away, leaving a vacancy for
which he has ambitions. He has long
had an eye or the senatorship. but is
too wise to attempt TO vrest it away
from either Mr.. Hale Of Mr.. Frye, as
Maine takes much pride in the leading
position these men occupy in bossing
the transaction of public affairs. So far
as being in line for the senatorship is
concerned. Mr.. Hill has for years re
sided in the house formerly occupied
by James G. Blaine at Augusta
In addition to other personal quail
ncations tending to popularity. Mr.
Hill Is reputed millionaire and has
plenty of money for the expenditures
essential to make and retain friends.
MI Hill is nearly 5. years old. He
was born in Eliot, York county, Maine
October 90. 1855. After obtaining an
academic education he studied medi-
cine and was graduated from the Bow
doin Medical school in 1877. He later
perfected his studies and received a
diploma from the Long Island college
Hospital in Brooklyn. He took up
the practice OF medicine at Boothbay
Harbor. Me and since that time has
been called doctor" by those ac-
quainted with that experience After
following his profession for about a
year he moved to Augusta in 1879, as
sociated himself with p o. Vickery h
the publishing business and has since
followed the ayocation of turning out
family periodicals.
In 1889 Dr. Hill first appeared in
politics, being elected to the Maine
house of representatives. He was re-
elected and then promoted to be state
senator for two terms. He was subse-
quently elected governor of the state
two terms. He has been a member Of
the Republican national committee
from Maine since 1899.
