Why do newspapers have contests?
That is a question newspapers
themselves can hardly answer.
OF course a successful contest
brings in money on subscription and
it brings in some new subscribers.
But whether a contest really pays or
not depends altogether on the rela-
ton of the cost to the income.
The trouble with the contest is
that 1t has gotten on such an extrav-
agant basis.It has run wild. Papers
all over the country seem to be try
ing to out do each other in the value
of the prizes given away.
The Record had its first contest
IL or 13 years ago. A bicycle which
was obtained entirely for advertis-
ing was given away. 1t brought in
fair collections and made a lot of peo
pie glad that they owed on Record
subscription account. AS it cost prac-
tically nothing it was considered
quite a success.
Since then we have had several
contests, all on a modest basis until
the one in 1909 The best we ever
had perhaps was several years ago
we sent two teachers to Salt Lake
City for a ten days vacation. The
transportation cost nothing and the
hotels made only a nominal charge
so the cost of collection in that case
was very light One candidate alone
brought in over one hundred new sub
scribers to the Weekly Record
When we sent the man to the City
OF Mexico we had to pay cash for the
ticket and gave him 500 for spend
ing money. That contest cost us 20
per cent of the collections and we
thought that the limit
Then in 1909 we put up two pianos.
seven gold watches. five scholarships
etc. We had expert help in that case
and that cost some money but IL help
ed swell the receipts. After the con-
test was over we figured up that II
cost in actual cash a little over
1000 and as we collected about
$4,000. It cost us 33 1-3 per cent to
collect. which is a pretty stln rate
II the accounts are good and ours
mostly are.
/ In the contest just closed II might
I interest our readers to know that we
collected approximately $500 The
prizes cost a good deal of cash The
Ford automobile cannot be had by
any newspaper for less than whole
sale price in Denver Mr.. Bunten
takes his commission out in business
but that's about the same as cash
too. for he would have spent the mon
ey with us II we had not bought the
machine-and II costs real money TO
produce advertising anyway. On the
pianos and other prizes we got par
tial advertising contracts but had 10
put up a good share in cash as well.
A good deal Of help and other ex-
pense is necessary to pull OF a big
contest so that about offsets the gain
made in getting part advertising con-
tracts on the prizes.
We figure that this contest cost us
about sl.7OO in cash to collect $500.
That is after the prizes and expense
OF the contest Is paid for we have
about $500 left over. So It cost
about As per cent in this case.
For this 81 500 we must supply 700
people with the Daily Record for a
full year, or it's equivalent.
1t must be remembered also that
these subscription are taken at the
reduced rate Of S. per year.
Three hundred regular subscribers
would pay in at the so cents the
month rate an equal sum Of 81 500 In
the year.

FORMER COAL GREEK Boy
MIKES" WITH PUGILIST

Long" Tom Hughes. pitcher of the
Washington base bali team, and a
native of Coal Creek, where he re-
sided until early manhood, will not
be able to do any mound work for
several days, according to a dispatch
from Chicago on Thursday 1t seems
that a dispute arose between Hughes
and Edward Johnson, Chicago pitch
er and former pugilist, in which the
Coal Creek boy disabled his good
tight hand. Hughes came out of the
battle with his clothes torn to shreds
and few discolorations on the face.
His antagonist was not so fortunate,
however. He looked as If he had been
run over by an automobile. His nose
is twice its normal size, one of his
eyes was blackened and his face look
ed as though 1t had been used for a
chopping block. He told the police
that Hughes kicked him in the nose,
but witnesses to the encounter say
Thomas used only his fists. Hughes
was released on a cash bond and de-
parted for Detroit with his team,
while Johnson was forced to spend
several hours in Jail.
Those acquainted with Hughes
are aware of the fact that no ordi-
nary man "can put it over" him in
fair fight, yet he is a peaceable
fellow and is not accustomed to look
ing for trouble. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Hughes, of Salida.-Flor-
ence Citizen.

NORTHWEST NOT IN

Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Collins are in
receipt of a letter from their son, A.

ing facts about the Northwest. He is
a civil engineer engaged in some
work in that section.
Mr.. Collins says in part:

RACE FOUND IN ARCTIC
LIVER SAW WHITE MAN

New York. Aug. ga race of peo-
pie who have never before beheld a
covered in the Arctic region of Brit
ish Columbia by Vilhjmar Stefans-
son, leader of the American Museums
scientific expedition.
In his letter which is dated Mouth
of the Dease river, Oct. IS, 1870" and
is the first intelligence received from
the party within year, Stefansson
says:
1--WE have discovered people in a
region supposed to be inhabited
and have lived a few months among
people who have never seen a white
man or an Indian, though they have
heard of BOTH" and did not even
know / was not an Eskimo-so little
were they informed on what white
men are like.
I'VE have discovered Eskimo I'm
speech and habits, who are Scandi-
navans in appearance.
This find is the beginning of the
solution of one of two problems:
What became of some of Frank
Inns men?
What became of the 5000 scandi-
navans who disappeared from Green
land in the fifteenth century?
"or If neither of these questions is
to be answered, then we have intro
duced a new problem of scientific in
terest: Why do some of the people
Of Victoria land differ markedly from
the rest of their race? Why are they
so European in type?
We have discovered the nonexist-
ence of a stream which the maps
make the size OF Hudson river-when
the river La Renciere disappears

house cleaning.
I'VE have found certain cape to
be an island and a certain island to
be a cape. we know the source Of Rae
river. of which the mouth lowest
i 10 miles was seen by DR. Rae and n
few other odd things we have done
that are in the nature of discoveries.
But. OF course. II we derserve credit
1t will be more for our routine work
than for any discoveries properly so
called"
Stefansson left New York on his ex-
pedition in April. 1908. His principal
purpose was to study the tribes OF
Eskimo in the northwest and more es-
pecially an unknown tribe living in
Victoria land.

WHY A CONTEST?

But where the candidate or some other
person pays to have the paper sent
to some one else little is gained. For
he will not become a permanent sub
scriber and there is very little prdSt
in sending the paper for year. 3i0
copies. for the yearly subscription
rate. 's(&,NH
Big city papers advance the adler
tising rate from time to time and
often use the results of a contest
for a good excuse. This the Record
will not do at this time although as
advertising rates go The Record
rates are very low. The Record is
giving its advertising patrons excel
lent service for the money, and the
biggest list that was ever gotten to-
gether in this county.
Does a contest pay?
We don't know. 1t can't be figured
out in dollars certainly. We have got
ten good deal of advertising Sqt
of it. some good and some bad. 1t is
pleasure TO give away an automo-
bile. two pianos and a bunch of
scholarships, watches, kodaks. etc.
to deserving people isthose who fail
to score are not too keenly dlsap-
pointed. But that feature sometimes
cuts into the pleasure. q
We can say. however. that In all
our seven or eight contests in the
past dozen years never has an un-
fair advantage been given one candi-
date over another in any way. shape
or form, and each candidate has al
ways had an absolutely impartial.
square deal. and this contest has been
no exception to the rule. e.

FOR THE HlGhLINE CANAL

There are four cars of lumber in
town at the present time. enroute
10 the proposed line of the Peoples
Highline Canal en- the west side of
the river. The line will be fourteen
feet higher than the original Peo-
pies canal, and will reclaim thous-
ands of acres of the desert west of
Croyeland, MOreland, and Porterville.
1t passes through some of the finest
territory tributary to Blackfoct and
means an additional amount of popu-
lation to Bingham county. In all
probability the canal will be COM
pleted within the next two years,
and a portion of DIT will be in condi-
ton to furnish water this year. The
lumber is being furnished by L. C.
