Tell them that you must have their support, and when they nee that you are determined and will not leave them until you have secured their sub scription the chances are ten to one you vHI not leave without it. An Illustration. An illustration of how the different contestants go about securing votes and subscript ions was in evidence yester day on Seventh street. Two gent lemeu were Mi am ling talk ing at tne durance 10 mo .jaeus.m j Mjsft ,wn,n rim (. unity bank when a young lady aHMisH M((v T(WI1(1 ioachcM them sojnewhate nmiilly. held a small hoot, in ner nitno aim she readied the g'-nile II in iplest ion she hesitatingly impiired if they did not care to subscribe to the Tribune. As ftas to be expected, the gentlemen said no and resumed their conversation. The young lady did not eve nask the sec ond time, nor did she inform them that she was one of the contestants and was anxious to win one of the prizes. A few nuunents later another young lady came along in a brisk business like sort of a way nnd stepped up to the same two gentlemen. She did not waste time on any preliminaries, and the way she acted showed the writer that she meant, business.. Her first move was to get out her receipt book and pencil, and then she addressed the grill lemeu in words practically as fol lows: "Mr. , I am in the contest being held on the Tribune, and I am 'after all the votes and subscriptions I pan secure. I am anxious to secure a scholarship it nil so tit myself for a po sition in the business world. You can help me a great deal by taking the paper for a year, which will entitle me to 30HII votes. I have already seen sev eral people t his afternoon and they have all assisted mo. taking the paper for six months or a year." Mr. started to say something to the effect that he did not need the nn per, in fact he said that lie already had more papers than he had time to read, but that made no difference to t lie young lady she kept right on writing the receipt, and when she had it made rut she handed it to him, smilingly, say ing. "Six dollars, pb-aie." He did not know what to sav at first. hut after n moment "s hesitation he handed her the money with the re mark. "Well, Miss , 1 see you in ti ttd to secure that scholarship, and I cM-tninly t rust that yon will s -eed. With that he turned to his friend and pt'r-uaded him to take the Tribune for r- year a No. with t he remark that a (-undid;!- who went about the securing cf vntrs in ou h a buinesvike way de-j-erved th' in. The above iho tie- iiKititi'-r in which the different coMte;:,nN l" about se curing votes and snb-ription. When the first contestant had all the chance, ill the World to get the vote-, -he Wfl t..(. diffident to follow up her nd'.-ui tgje. She was not agirrevdv enough, whereat the other lady rame al"iig and M.-iired 1'iOitii vote without any trouble The above jdions that all that i- re fiiiin-.?!1 summed up in the word " PK TERMINATION." That is what will win the prize fr.-m t e nut nm old U down, nnd the lady w!o is determined to succeed it the OUT. one who will be among the prizewiu- ners When you start out after votes and subscriptions do not give up until you have secured them.

Many ru ral patron, are said to have ac,iiired th, habit of placing pennies in th,, boxes when they do not have the .lamps. Such practices cause the carriers a great d'-al ofiiiineces,ary work, it is said, and d-day them on their routes. The department is trying to induce pat rous to discontinue the habit. WASHINGTON. Tel.. 4. It is the purpose of Secretary Garfield to so eon- . duct the interior department and so in- j tcrpivt the public land laws as to acta- j ally aid every bona fide entiymau who: is endeavoring to establish a home on ! the public domain. Secretary (Jartiehlj holds that the land laws were enacted j for a jmrpu.se, and so long as the law is not ntiused he intends that the entry man shall enjoy its provisions, and so long ns he acts in good faith, vdinll havej t he encouragement anil aid of ivpro-1 sentatives of the department. He says j in his annual report: j Garfield's Animal Report. j ''Registers and receivers and special; agents have been instructed that it is ! ijuits us much t heir duty to aid the i ish t he dishonest entrvinen. Fortu nately, most homestead entries are lion estly made, but in many instances through carelessness or ignorance, mis-1 takes are made which may defeat an entry. It is therefore necessary that the utmost care be exercised by the lo cal land officers, and it is noon these nft'ic.i-M Unit t he emu in isnmn.T of t lie i general land office and the secretary must rely for obtaining the facts and , . . lllllt j..:,.,. ; .i,,,.,, i, :u (iu. dutv of the special agents to aid the , :, L .... ...... unless the appropriation is large enough to employ the kind of men and the num ber of men needed, it is inevitable that there will be serious delavs in the coii- jjfested districts. The fad that delays 'exist dues not warrant the Ineal oi'fieera or the specials in passing or rejecting ! any entry without proper examination. J To Obtain Lands. "The purpose of the public land law i is not to get rid of the public bind, but to provide n method under which lands may be obtained by those who intend to use them legally and honestly. The highest use of the lauils is the making of homes. The utmost care should thus , be taken to prevent the taking for other purpt of lands capable of lie- ing ent ered under t he homestead act : on the other hand, we must not permit that law to be used as a device to ob tain valuable mineral or timber land. " Fnder 1 he present plan of organ ization there will be n constant inter change lie) ween men in t he field and men in the office at Washington. By this inlerehange a man at the desk will understand the conditions that exist iu tin- field, ami. on Ihe other hand, the man iu the fielJ who has had II ffice expei'ience at Washington, will he bet ter able to accept the responsibility t hrown upon his shoulders. LUMBER PRICES DROP IT'S TIME TO BUILD l.uuibei prices from Victoria to San (ill to so per cent lower thnii they were a year ago. If is said cargo and retail prices will not go lower than they are at present. In Southern California common rough cargoes a year ago going at $28 per liino feet can now be had at 17. They have dropped a dollar in the last do or H) days. It is sa id t he market t here is in about the same lethargic condition that pre vails on the north coast. In the last 30 days lumber has be delivered at retail in San hiego nnd nearby points on a basis of about $18 for common rough, instead of the $3" to $.'12 commanded a year ago by com mon rough lumber at these points. 'argo lots which a year ago brought $28 at San IHego can now be had as low as 1 1 . Portland priees are jdaeed at $1" to: PJ for eonimon rontrh and the loy mar ' ket is down anain to 7 to $!l por Hum I 'delivered at Portland mills. It is re-; ported that cargo lots of poiuiuou rough lumber Juive been offered 4" Portland as low as 7.,",o within the l.-ist :lo days, and that this lumber pan be had todav as low as s.
