BIG CROWD WILL WAIT
Miss Ethel Blackwell and Miss
Bertha Combs;
Miss Agnes Dodson and Miss
Sadie Daniel.

Tonight it will be determined
which two of the above-named young
ladies will have the privilege of
spending nine weeks touring this
country and the principal lands and
cities of the old world as the guests
of The Daily Sentinel.
Likewise it will be decided which
two of the above-named young ladies
will have the pleasure of enjoying
one of the most beautiful American
tours that could possibly be planned,
"a trip to and through the Yellow
stone National Park.
The final day of the great voting
contest has naturally been the most
exciting OF the whole period. Tens
of thousands of votes have been de-
posted in the ballot box today by
people other than the contestants
day men, women and children have
thronged The Sentinel office voting
for their favorites.
In general and popular interest
there has never been a contest CON
ductsd in the intermountain region
that has equaled The Sentinel's
Great European Tour and Yellow
stone Park Trip Contest. All day
today subscriptions have poured into
The Sentinel office and will continue
to pour in until toward O'Clock this
evening.
The magnificent nature of the
prizes offered in this contest have
caused the contest to attract far
more than local attention and also
has been responsible for the wide
spread and intense local interest and
excitement.
At 9 o'clock tonight the contest,
which was opened on March 1st,
closes. We advise those who have
coupons or ballots they have been
holding to get the same in not later
than $50, if they can possibly do 50
and thus avoid a rush in the closing
moments of the contest.
The total vote for the two young
ladies is very likely to reach as high
as 100000. The manner in which
the two young ladies have kept so
cIose together throughout the con-
! test is nothing short of remarkable.
/ The count made yesterday showed
them to be only a few more than
| thousand votes apart, and many who
| have followed the contest closely
are predicting that they will not be
much further apart than this IN the
| final count.
| The friends of both candidates
have been working strenuously
| throughout today, and it is certain
/ that neither side is confident of VIC
tory.
I quite a number of wagers have
been posted in various places in the
city on the outcome.
| The final count will begin tonight
Immediately after the closing of the
ballot box. The doors of The Senti-
mel office will be closed promptly at
| 9 O'Clock, and only those privileged
to witness the count will be permit
ted to remain in the office.

count tonight are Messrs. ]. R.
Wentworth. Joseph NJ. Sampliner,
! Sprigg Shackleford, Charles B. Rich,
Herman W Kluge of Palisade, c. X.
Beach of Fruita and c. H. ketchum.
The last count will probably not
be finished until about II p. m. The
Judges viii make out and sign the
certificate, officially announcing the
final result at the close of the count.

son have carried on. Each of the

matter who the winner of the first

been deservedly won.
