CONTEST AROUsEs GREAT

that the territory can all be. divided
equally within the next two or three
days and every contestant given the
same opportunity.
Maxwell '25" q Dandy.
If you could see that Maxwell
"25," a photograph of which is pub
lished on page 2, you would not
hesitate, for you would be as sur
prised as the contest manager was
when he obtained it for the first
grand prize in this contest. It's a
mighty pretty car, handsomely I'm
ished, 1914 model-the latest de-
sign with the streamline body that
is so popular-is fully equipped and
will seat five people comfortably.
AS soon as the local Maxwell man
ager, Elmer c. Tew. completes his
new garage in the Reed block, at
Sixth and Washington streets, the
car will be put on exhibition, but If
you drop into his present offices on
Columbia street you can see car
Of the same model and he will be
very glad to show it to you. This
car Is the sensation of the 1914 sea-
son and is the best in its class on
the market.
The Other Prizes.
The $500 upright piano from the
John Sharp Piano Company of Sc
attic is as fine a second grand prize
as the Maxwell 1925" is as first, and
will be worth al the effort expended
by the contestant who gets it. The
six diamond rings, too, which will be
put on display soon by Talcott
Bros, the popular local jewelers.,
will tickle every girl who sees them,
for they are dandies, while the four
scholarships in Wilson's Modern
Business College in Seattle are just
the kind of prizes for which the prac-
tical girl is looking. And in study
ing that list of prizes, do not over
look the lavallieres, which will also
soon be displayed by Talcott Bros.
for they are as nice little pieces of
jewelry you could find anywhere.
The contest Is on-the best girl,
the girl that works the hardest, who
is the most popular and has the
most friends and gets them to work.
ing for hers going to win. She
will deserve it, too, for the interest
already displayed in this contest
demonstrates that it is going to be
the liveliest ever held in this terri
tory and so it behooves everyone to
start working right away.
Special Offer Closes Soon.
Don't forget this special offer-if
you do, you may regret it before the
contest is over-for a bonus like
that is we'll worth working for. 1t
closes at p. m. next Thursday
night, February 26, remember-send
all your votes in by that time.

furnish a ton or so yet, if ordered
soon. If we cou'd produce 10 to 25

could also attract the attention of

IF Thurston county farmers
would plant late fall and winter

Interstate shipments of intoXicat-
ing liquor into dry" territory in this
state must be direct to the buyer, as
are intra-state shipments into local
option territory, according to rul-
ing given by Attorney General W. V.
Tanner this week. Mr.. Tanner rules
that such liquors cannot be delivered
TO a place of business or public re-
sort, under the Webb law, nor to an
agent of the consignee, but must be
made direct to the consignee.
Had there been room to accomO-
date the department in the local cap
itol building, State Fish and Game
Commissioner l.. H. Darwin would
have moved his office to Olympia
from Bellingham instead of to Seat
tie, according to an announcement
made by Governor Lister this week.
The fact that the headquarters of the
federal fisheries department is to be
located in Seattle was another rea-
son cited by the governor for the
change.
Figures and data to demonstrate
that the local federal land office
should not be abolished, as predicted
in reports from the national capital
which said this district might be di-
vided between the Seattle and Van
couver offices, are being compiled by
the Chamber of Commerce as part Of
campaign to retain the local office.
Especial stress will be laid on that
part of the land laws which specify
that the final land office in any state
e maintained at the capital.
The newspaper dispatches from the
national capital reported that Clay
Tallman, commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office, had decided to con-
solidate all of the land Offices in
Western Washington at Olympia, but
Seattle raised such "howl" and en-
listed the support of the COMPRESSION
al delegation until the commissioner
is reported to have changed his plans
SO as to abolish the local Office en-
tirely.

Truly a Splendid Thing.

Enormuos importations Of beef
from Argentina are being reported at
very frequent intervals, and it may
be assumed that the dealers to whom
they are consignal in this country
are making a good thing out of it.
regardless of the effect this foreign
competition may have in the way OF
discouraging competition among home
stock raisers. And, incidentally, the
price to the ultimate consumer re-
mains just as high as it ever was.
What a splendid thing it is to have
the gilt diged promises OF our Demo-
cratic friends to depend upon!
They're so consoling! even though
there Is nothing in them.-Wells IN

unhealthy one for all OF us. DR.. b..
F. Tichenor, the county health Of

all parts of town following these
cleanup days. BE prepared for him.
Hereafter, the City Marshal will
