J. Whyt'e Evans, president of the United
Railways Company, and Seneca Smith, of
the Initiative One Hundred, held a long
conference with the Mayor yesterday
afternoon,' during -which the last steps
In granting the United Railways fran
chise were taken. After signing the or
dinance granting authority to enter with
the company Into a contract for the pur
chase of the Front-Btreet line at any time
by the city, the Mayor also ratified the
contract which was signed at the same
time toy President Evans. Immediately
after tha signatures had been affixed to
the contract. Mayor Iane passed the
franchise ordinance to Auditor Devlin,
saying that he was now willing for It to

"I do not believe that the ordinance Is
In every way an Ideal one." said Mayor
lane "and because its provisions are
not In entire accord with my ideas I shall
not sign it. However, as the people of the
city have had an opportunity to suggest
any changes they desire and the fran

to construct the Front-stieet line and
would follow out the terms of the fran
chise in every particular. "We shall be
gin our final survey Wednesday," he said,
"and shall proceed with construction
about 'June 10 or 15." We3 regard the
Front-street line as the most urgent part
of our system, as the manufacturers of
South Portland are especially anxious to
be put In immediate connection with the
terminal yards In North Portland.
"If we can get material without delay,
the construction of the Kront-strcet line
should not take more than 60 days. There
may be some delay from this , source,
however, .which will prevent us -from
completing the line as soon as we other
wise would. As soon as we complete the
road on Front street we will begin work

received, should be addressed to The
Oregonian.
It Is probable that no announcement
of the winners of The Oregonian Yel
lowstone Park contest can be made be
fore a week from today. The judges rep
resenting different candidates labored
from 9 o'clock Friday night until 5 o"clock
Saturday morning counting the millions
of votes. A majority of the ballots have
been counted, but until the votes
from all the outside districts have
been received and duly credited no an
nouncement can be made.
The names pf a few of the fortunate
young ladles who were victorious In this
remarkable contest are known, but it hat
been decided to make no partial an
nouncement, so ail will have to wait
until a 'publication can be made of the
complete lists. Needless to say, the an
nouncement of the winners will be await
ed with feverish anxiety by the several
hundred hopeful candidates and their nu
merous friends.
Brings Many Surprises.
The last day of the contest, whleh is
unique in the history of similar contests
conducted by other newspapers and dur
ing which more than $20,000 was taken in,
brought many surprises which will glad
den the hearts of some of the candidates
atid bring disappointment to some. More
money was taken In by The Oregonian
during the law day J2O.O00 than some
newspapers in metropolitan .cities took In
during the entire duration of similar
contests.
Some of the candidates who thought
themselves secure and were satisfied that
they would be numbered smong the for
tunate ones, now find themselves dis
placed. Others of the candidates who
were far in the rear and who It was
thought had but plight chances of success
won out the last day.
As was expected, the voting of the
concluding day of the contest far ex
ceeded that of previous days. For weeks
the candidates have been saving their
votes and Just sending In enough to
keep up with their competitors. They did
this so as not to disclose their Ftrength,
and they knew that practically all of the
candidates were doing exactly the
Saras thing. Then the last day they
flooded The Oregonian with votes and
money and the rush was much greater
than- expected, although It was known
that the voting would be tremendously
heavy. As much as $1000 was received the
final day from several of the girls for
subscriptions they had obtained for which
they were given votes.
Call on Contest Managers.
Many of the candidates called upon the
contest manager yesterday to inquire as
to the outcome. Several of them told of
vivid experiences they had passed
through while canvassing for votes. Re
markable energy and perseverance was
shown by the young ladles and all of the
candidates worked nobly, and it is to be
regretted that they cannot all be taken
on the delightful trip that has been ar
ranged. But those who worked the hard
est and displayed the greatest energy and
"stlcktoitiveness" are the fortunate ones
and those who are entitled more than the
others to the trip to the Yellowstone and
tbe other places of unusual interest. How
ever, some of the young ladies who
worked very hard were beaten out.
One very popular young lady of Port
land obtained more than 40,000 votes from
one business concern in this city. Bhe is
going to the Yellowstone. The manager
of this particular business concern was
very anxious to have the young lady win
out. He inquired among the employes
and found that nearly all of them were
subscribers to The Oregonian. Most of
them had the paper - delivered at their
homes and paid by the month.
The manager went to . them , and told
them that he would pay aM of their sub
scriptions a year in advance and deduct
so much a month from their wages, the
same amount they would have to pay tbe
carrier. Then upon the last day all of
these subscriptions wers turned in to The
Oregonian. The advancing of this large
sum of money and the extra clerical
work caused by the arrangement Is evi
dence of the extraordinary interest taxen
in the contest.
"If I were compelled to go out and
make a living for myself. I believe I
would take up soliciting," said one of the
young lady candidates yesterday after
noon who is probably one of the winners.
"Obtaining subscriptions has become second-nature
to me, you might say, and I
have got so that I like the work very
much.
Experience In Getting Votes.
"When I was first urged by my friends
to enter the contest I had but little idea
of its magnitude and of the immense
number of votes I would have to secure
to win out. I first began by cutting out
coupons from the dally issues of The Ore
gonian, but I soon found myself at the
bottom of the list. I heard that my com.
petltors were out soliciting subscriptions,
and I decided to adopt similar tactics.- I
first talked to my friends and got them
to renew their subscriptions and those
who did not take The Oregonian to be
come subscribers. Soon however, the
field offered by my friends became ex
hausted and I had to look elsewhere for
votes.
"The fact that my competitors were
ahead of me caused me to muster up suf
ficient courage to-olicit among strangers.
At first I felt very much embarrassed
and I would approach thera in a very
timid and half-hearted way. But all of
them treated me with the utmost cour-
yysy, and I soon felt at home In my new

"One prominent business nan told me
that no less than a dozen candidates had
called .upon him, and that he had secured
subscriptions fur all of them. He him
self was paid up many years in advance

the employes to take subscriptions. He

was a very common expression for me to
hear.
Solicits Among Farmers.
"Finally I got so that I went out on
the road and even drove out into the
country to see the farmers. I remember
one large subscription I got from a
farmer who waa plowing in a field about
a half-mile square. 1 had been out all
day in 'a buggy and had done but little,
and was feeling very discouraged. I saw
this farmer in the field, and I had a sort
of Intuition that he would help me.
"I trudged across the field about half a
mile to where he was. He was greatly
surprised when I told him I was a candi
date in The Oregonian Yellowstone Park
contest and that I wanted his sub
scription. "'Where do you live 7" " he said. ...
"Portland," I replied.
" 'You don't mean to tell me that you
are away out here after votes and that
you walked clear across that field Just to
sea me?' he. continued. .'Well. I will do
all I can to send you to the Yellowstone.
I take The Oregonian already, but I will
help you."
"He didn't have any money with him,
but I left my address, and when I got
home I found a check for. a five-year sub.

TROUBLESOME PAINS AHD ACHES ,
While Rheumatism is usually worse in Winter because of the cold and
dampness of a changing atmosphere, it is by no means a Winter disease
entirely. Persons in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease,
has collected, feel its troublesome pains and aches all the year round. The
cause of Rheumatistn.is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought about
by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter, which the natural ave
nues of bodily waste have failed to carry off. This refuse matter coming: ia
contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed
by the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets
possession of the system. Rheumatic persons are almost constant sufferers ;
the nagging pains in joints and muscles, are ever present under the most
favorable climatic conditions, while exposure to- dampness or an attack of
indigestion will often bring on the severer symptoms even in warm, pleas
ant weather. Liniments, plasters, lotions, etc., relieve the pain and give the
sufferer temporary comfort, but are in no sense curative ; because Rheumatism

Cowboys Give Subscriptions.
Another little girl who lives east'of the
Cascades made a canvatw of several largo
ranches on horseback. She was absent
from home for nearly two- weeks and
was miles and mllea from the railroad,
but when she returned she had thou
sands of votes. There were a dozen cow
boys employed on one ranch and all of
them had their employer advance them
money to take subscriptions. All these
papers'were not needed on one ranch, but
the cowboys admired the plucky llttla
girl and wanted to assist in her victory.
She went from ranch to ranch and not
once did she have to pa.y for accommo
dations. She says that it was one of the
most pleasant experiences of her life and
one that she will never forget.
Dozens of other Instances of the cour
age of the young lady candidates could
be told. Kvery city, village and hamlet
embraced in the scope of the contest has
been thoroughly canvassed and there are
but very few farmers and ranchers wh
were not seen by the intrepid candidates.
