BIG CONTEST FOR
AUTO STARTS SOON
INTEREST ALREADY KEEN IN
RACE FOR UP-TO-DATE
FORD MACHINE.
MEN HAVE SAME CHANCE AS WOMEN
Persons In All Parts Of County Eligi
ble in Great Contest One
Blank For Each
Entrant. .
Just one week from tomorrow,
Monday, February 19, the Grand Au
tomobile Contest of the Weekly and
Daily Enterprise will start. Ever
since the preliminary announcements
a short time ago this office has been
beseiged'by scores of interested per
sons who wanted to know all about
this big contest, and how they are to
win the royal prize. At last every
thing is about ready and we know of
a goodly number who are waiting un
tile the 19th so they can get to work.
As announced, The Enterprise is
going to make this contest the most
interesting one that was ever held
in Clackamas county or in fact the
whole state of Oregon. After long
and careful consideration as to what
one thing is desired by the greatest
number of people regardless of their
age sex, or business, an automobile
was the unanimous choice of those
interested in the matter. And who
will not say that their decision was a
wise one? An up to date, reMablv
car is still out of the reacn or the
most of us, but where is there a man,
woman, boy or girl in the whole coun
try who does not wish that they own
ed a machine, of some kind.
After it was decided to give one
grand prize worth while and an auto
mobile was decided upon, the next
important thing to be settled was the
choice of machines. After several
weeks of careful investigation as to
the merits of different makes, their
speed, mechanism, appearance, and
records of durability, the new 1912
four-door Ford Automobile was the
one selected. It may be that the great
local popularity of the Ford had some
thing to do with the choice, as its
strength, durability and adaptability to
get around on these Clackamas coun
try roads is well known. There are
an astonishingly number of Fords all
over the county and the surprising
part of this fact is that the majority
of the owners are men who can af
ford the machine they want regard
less of the price. So with all this in
mind the Contest Managers feel that
they have struck the right thing in
presenting this make as the prize.
With this question solved the next
problem was to arrange this contest
so that all will have an equal chance.
All during the other contest which
was held last summer, there were a
number of men and boys who express
ed regret that they were not allowed
to enter the contest along with those
of the gentler sex. This time we
want to give all an equal chance and
every restriction as to sex, age, oc
cupation, etc., is cast off. In other
words there are no restrictions at all.
You can enter the race, your friends
can also enter, and possibly some peo
ple you do not like will enter. Every
one has an equal chance; there will
be no favorites and it is simply up to
the candidates themselves. It is a
case of the one who is willing to work
the hardest and turn in the most sub
scriptions will win the prize.
The Enterprise is justly proud of its
reputation for "squareness" in these
contests. The Contest Editor repeats
that you will have the same chance
as the "other fellow, whether it be
woman, boy or girl.
It makes no difference in which
part of the county you reside. It mat
ters nothing to us what your busi
ness is, or where you start to work
or where you finish. The results are
what count and the candidate with
the biggest count of votes on the last
day will win the Ford. And the per
son who next June first takes a brand
new 1912 Ford Automobile from the
Elliott Garage will have fairly won
the prize.
In this Grand Contest it is votes
that count. The way to get votes is
to go out among your friends and get
them to subscribe to the Daily or
Weekly Enterprise. Or you will find
that very often you will do better
when you go to people you don't
know. In any event it i3 a business
proposition. You are not asking them
any special favor because, sooner or
later they will want the paper any
how. It is just like' selling something,
just as a merchant has his wares to
sell, you have something to sell.
You are selling the only daily paper
of the county that covers the news
as the Enterprise does. You 'will be
offering a man a dollar's worth of
news for a dollar, the same as any
merchant will offer a dollar's worth
of his wares for a dollar. So in start
ing out in this contest you must have
in mind that you are in business,
you have something to sell, and for
which you have a very reasonable
price. You are selling something that
other people find they must have. It
is one of the necessities of life, the
business of the world demands it and
it is something that ought to be found
in every home. On the last page of
the paper you will find the voting
schedule which" shows how many
votes you will get for obtaining the
subscriptions. - Every subscription
that is turned in is worth some votes,
of course the longer the subscription
the more votes it is worth. But for
every effort that is made and ,a sub
scription taken, whether it be for six
months or six years, every subscrip
tion is worth votes. And. as said be
fore, it is votes that count.
It will be a very simple matter to
enter the contest. In next Tuesday's
paper and for every morning for a
few days will appear a nomination
blank. All you will have to do will
be to get some friend to clip the
blank, fill in your name and then you

GRAND JURY PROBE OF TRAGEDY
AT ARDENWALD HARDLY
BEGUN.
PROGRESS SLOW IN INYESTIGASION
Large Number of Witnesses Live In
Portland Attempt Made To
Fix Crime On Nathan
B. Harvey.
The investigation of the Hill mur
der at Ardenwald Station was con
tinued Saturday by the grand jury.
About ten witnesses were examined .
Subpoenaes have been issued for
more than forty witnesses to appear
against Nathan B. Harvey, be
fore the county ihquisitors. Many
have and will come from Portland.
Most of them will tell of Harvey's
movements in Portland On the eve
ning of the midnight quadruple mur
der. Other witnesses come from Milwau
kie and Ardenwald. Through some
the state hopes to prove that Har
vey's reputation was unclean as to his
attitude toward women; through oth
ers that Harvey, detraining at Arden
wald from the "owl" interurban from
Portland on the night of the murder,
waited in the shadow of the station
house until other passengers had gone
ahead; and further, through others,
that Harvey, on his way home, must
have passed first, by the cabin from
which the Hill murderer took the ax
with which the heads of the four were
crushed, and, second, by the Hill ca
bin at about the time of the crime
12:48 a. m.
Whether Jay Bowerman or W. H.
Abel, the Portland attorneys with
whom Harvey, before he was directly
under suspicion, says he made a $20,
000 contract "through fright," to de
fend him in case of his arrest, will be
called to appear could not definitely
be learned. Both' Sheriff Mass and
Detective L. L. Levings, of Portland,
acting for the state, were mute on
th;s subject.

With an undertemined wrangle as
to whether the charges that were ,
made at Wednesday night's meeting
of the council against Night Officers
S. R. Green and D. E. Frost should
be presented in writing, the City Coun
cil, after a heated meeting Saturday
afternoon, adjourned, with the sug
gestion of Mayor Dimick that another
special session be held next Tuesday
night to give the accusers of the two
policemen an opportunity to frame a
written complaint. F. J. Tooze,
chairman of the Council Committee
on Health and Police, said after the
meeting that he would file no written
charges unless a written charge was
also made against Chief of Police
Shaw and Officer Cooke, as it appears
from the statements of Councilman
Tooze that Green and Frost were
found to be derelict in their duties
only after his committee had made
some investigations upon reports em
enating from Officer Frost to the ef
fect that Shaw and Cooke were not
doing their work satisfactorily.
When the council convened, Mayor
Dimick announced that the meeting
