Is hampered in its inquiry because II
can not summon witnesses and compel

connection with the advance in the
costs of meats is the fencing in Of
ranges in the grazing country Of the
West. Homesteaders have entered ON
these lands and they are filling the soil
instead of grazing cattle.

and look it over through the efforts of
Mr.. Raymond. The Chaplin place is
set to five and six-year-old trees and
this year, even though young. pro-
duced a fine crop. The varieties are
mostly Staymen IWinesaps, Rome
Beauty, Jonathan md Grimes Golden.
The place also has a modern house
and is one of the choice places of the
valley.
Six years age in March Mr., Chaplin
and family came here from Nebras-
ka and purchased 20 acres, paying
for the land 1925 per acre. 1t was
all in sage brush at that time. The

was sold for s 1900; two years ago
another five acres was sold for 81, 500

yesterday for 100000, making a total
price of $4,000 for the 20 acres which
originally cost $4,000.
Mr.. Phau will return Sunday to his
Illinois home, but expects to come
back in the early spring with his FAM
lily and take up his residence on his
new property. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaplin
are undecided as yet as to their plans

last Saturday by H. M. Winslow for

man this winter sold five acres for

naming five to H. NJ. Winslow for
$11,0 disposing of the ten acres for

And a Majority of Grand Prize
Totals Have Not Grown

PRESENT LEADS ARE SMALL

Eleven days, less than two weeks, re-
main of The Heralds $4,000 voting
contest. June so will see the close OF
this enterprise, which thus far has
proved a success in every way. But
despite the fact that only a few days
remain. the contest is far from being
finished Many developments can be
expected during the time remaining
and the present lineup may be changed
from top to bottom.
inexperienced people might imagine
that final results are more or less Ger
tain from present conditions. But inns
does not apply to voting contests. a
contest is never ended until the nhdl
ballots have been counted. Inc con
test man has seen all conclusions upset
and the prizes go to people who up to
a. few days before the finish of the
contest had remained more or less IN
the background These upsets do not
occur. of course, where first leaders oo-
tain safe margins before the close OIL
the contest. But present leaders IN
The Heralds 5000 voting contest nave
not made their margins safe. Despite
the contest mans repeated warnings
they have shown an apparent indltfer-
ence or overconfidence, and many nave
shown no increases for a MONTH while
others have shown some activity, but
not enough to discourage late entrants.
The best way for any live hustler to
arrive at a correct idea of how matters
stand is to take each separate lead Tor
the capital and grand prizes and find
ont lust what each represents. The
lead for the S5300 home in College tract,
the First Capital prize, for instance,
represents much less than twenty new
YEARLY clubs, and surely any man,
woman or child, with some circle OF
acquaintance and degree of hustling
ability. cannot feel that this number OF
clubs is too great to go after when the
prize is of such tremendous value.
Other prize leads are corresponding
Iy small. The lead for the $500 bank
account represents slightly over nine
yearly clubs.
with eleven days in which to cam
paign. the right kind of a hustler can
pass this lead easily. The man, woman
or child who goes in after the bank ac-
count-the second grand prize-can
earn over $45 a day. This is a return
which participants in mighty few other
enterprises offer hustlers.
The trips to Honolulu, Alaska and
Mexico City are being led for by still
smaller margins, and, as has been
pointed out, the majority of the grano
prize leads have shown no increases
for a month.
The mistake in believing that pres
ent leaders are holding back must not
be made, because it must be taken into
consideration that many vote decreases
have occurred during the past foul
weeks, and the loss in votes has been
