Aatoria, Ore., Jan. 24.—William 8. Gilbert, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, on January 8 billed the Astoria Fire Relief
Committee of Ten a charge of 8104.15 in behalf of his church
"to cover breakage, shortage and USE" of dishes, etc., loaned from
the church to the fire-stricken and homeless people and used
for a short time. Gilbert signed the requisition as “recommender,”
and also as chairman of the committee, and drew the money from
the Astoria Saving^ Bank, Check No. 35, as> per statement—
$104.15.
The Committee of Tep requisition, thus prepared by Gilbert,
certified in the requisition that it had “received disaster relief
in the amount of 8104.15,” as aforesaid. Gilbert’s bill for the
Presbyterian church, which is the richest in Astoria, follows:

And secure the maximum number of votes, and with hut five
more weeks to go before the race finally comes to a close. In
terest in the competition intensifies. Each candidate realizes
that the big prizes, remarkable in their value, Ue practically
within their grasp, either to be claimed for their very own or
forfeited to more aggressive opponents during the next few
days, depending to a great extent upon their mpreme efforts
put forth while the BIG VOTES are allowed.
If you halt now for a single moment; if you weaken for a
single day, or if you overlook one opportunity to better your
chances to win, you are taking the desperate chance o f toeing
the prize you moat desire, already partially won spd which really
belongs to you, and you are nearly certain to bring dismal dis
appointment upon yourself, as well as your friends, who will
take it as sorely as you will yourself.
Don’t forget that this is a battle hereafter. Craft helps;
speed, too, but the rugged strength and lasting qualities of a
lew hundred votes means victory here as the same traits win
nny battle.
Vote discreetly; hustle swiftly; watch and battle persist
ently till the end; and, if you don’t win at that it will be for no
other reason than that some competitor embodied nH your
btrengfh to « greater ■degree.^' ‘ ...1
REMEMBER—3000 votes are allowed on yearly subscrip

the following week only 2000 votes are given; 26,000 votes are
