Neck and Neck.
The contest shows a neck-and-neck
racy, in some of the1 districts, as the
ladies' friends are allowing themselves
to become interested and much work
is being done by these friends.
And when once your friends awaken
to the fact that you are in the contest

you are going to give the other contest
ants the race of their lives, then is
t ne time that they will rally to your
assistance and give you all the support
that they can. Tin? special offer is
now a thing of the past, and from now
(in the contest will develop into n
steady grind. If you were not fortu
nate to secure one of the special bal

other hand put more aggressiveness and
determination than ever behind your
efforts. .
Do Not Be Backward.
About, seeing and in forming your
friends that their votes are necessary
to you in older to be among the win
ners. 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

RURAL PATRONS MUST

P,

III-
cant ion patrons of the departoon' ,o
rural routes against leaving money i,
the boxes instead of stamps. 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

ported that cargo lots of poiuiuou
