Duncan McCuaig Winner.
Led HIS Nearest Competitor in the
Swiss Brown Contest by a Good
Margin. Fight at
the Close.

Duncan McCuaig, resident of st. Johns
bury Four Corners and a foreman
in the Fairbanks Scale works, was the
winner of the Swiss Brown heifer,
Felette, offered as prize in the CALEDo-
MANS contest. He not only secured the
prize but he went after it single handed
and struggled fairly and persistently for
it and thus wins higher honor. He Sc
cured more new business and more SUBJ
scriptions for the CALIFORNIAN than any
other contestant. His compensation is
one of the best bred heifers in America,
and without doubt one of the most val
liable breeding animals to be found in
New England today.
Last weeks struggle was the most ex-
citing and strenuous ofthe whole contest.
The figures given last week were higher
than we expected to see any single con-
testant reach, but the altitude they had
reached simply spurred them to greater
efforts and the final figures are startling.
They show that Mr.. McCuaig was not
the only effective fighter in the contest
and the CALIFORNIAN feels that it is under
obligations not only to the winner but to
others who by their loyalty and hard
work have brought very beneficial results
to the CALIFORNIAN itself. With the pub
lie interest in the welfare and efforts of
the CALIFORNIAN that has been shown
during the past few months we feel
that we should be more jealous than
ever in giving our readers the best paper
in this section. We desire to publicly ex-
press to all the contestants our gratitude
to them for their loyalty to and service
for the paper and we hope that our future
course will be such as to merit continu-
alton of their loyalty.
From our patrons we would ask little
patience. The volume of business that
has come to us within the past ten days
has been larger than any printing con-
Germ in Vermont could handle. But we
shall perform the work as fast as posi-
BILE and expect with the exception ofsome
who are in special hurry for their jobs
to accommodate all. Simply give us
little time to work our way out and we
will deliver the goods in a satisfactory
manner.
Here is the final record of the Swiss
Brown Contest:
