But short time interveDes between

test. aud when the count Is made "n
the evening Of NoveE Der %, the vote
will show some surprising gains. A
hard fight Is being made by the lead
ers 10 get the coveted position at the
head Of the long list. and ballots are
falling In large numbers daily, each
mail bringing envelopes Hlled with
ballots and subscriptions, while the
merchants coupons are pouring In all
the time.
From the efforts being put forth by
the leaders there is apt to be an en-
tire change in their positions. and
just who will get out in the lead is
difficult to say. Indications are that
the vote will be very close. Those
down on the list are also making ef-
forts to better their standing and are
hustliug here, there and every where
to get votes.
The bonus offers have put new life
to the contest and the young woman
who makes the greatest gain will re.
ceive the ten dollar gold piece offered

There are many residents OF Ord
way who have not yet subscribed for
the New Era and who are only wait
ing for some friend to ask them.
Candidates can get many iptions
by asking their friends and acquaint-
ances TO help them in the contest.
Seven new yearly subscriptions, paid
up, will give contestants IA, 200 votes,
and will make them factors In the
race for the prizes. A $40O upright

the capital prize there Is still chance
to win one OF the handsome prizes,
which the merchants will donate. A
little earnest work will land the big
prize for some body. To those persons
who have not subscribed for the New

IL now. There certainly ia one candi-
or less Interested and who would ap.
preciate the help you would give her
by sending your subscriptions to this
Office and asking that the votes be
credited to her. AS To the value OF
the New Era as a newspaper, there
are hundreds Of readers who will tell
you all about IL and will say more for
IL than the publisher would, because
/ the latter is really too modest.
To keep up the interest we have de-
cided TO give another special prize OF
$40 in GOLD to the contestant who
makes the greatest gain in votes from
now on till the next count on Nuvem-
Der 20. This gives all the contestants
