CANDIDATE GETTING MOST
VOTES TOMORROW TO BE
GIVEN 2,000
OTHER ENTRANTS ARE EXPECTED
Renewals To Paper Count Same As
New Subscriptions In Great Race
For $785 Touring
Car
Two thousand votes will be pres
ented the automobile contestant who
polls the largest number of votes to
morrow. The votes may be cast in
the big official ballot box in the En
terprise office any time after 8 a.
m. up to 4 in the afternoon. At that
hour all the votes cast for the day
will be counted and the one having the
largest number to his credit will re
ceive the additional two thousand
which will materially help in determ
ining the winner of the special con
test now running and will help out
on the grand total for the $785 Ford.
This special contest which is the sec
ond of a series to run all during the
race for the auto will close Friday
day night and the candidate receiv
ing the greatest number of votes be
tween last Tuesday and then will be
awarded a $15 merchandise certificate
on the L. Adams Department Store.
Every entrant in the big race is de
termined to capture one or more of
these special prizes and each one as
serts that no candidate will have
the walkover the last winner had.
Sheahan, who has been in the lead
ever since the inauguration of the
race was the victor in the first of the
special contests but who will win next
Friday 38 a matter of conjecture.
In the Enterprise great contest for
a big new fore-door Ford touring car
any person living in the county may
enter the running. The race has bare
ly begun and there is still time and
room for a few more entrants who
want the opportunity of landing a
prize worth while. Right now is the
opportune time for some prominent
member of some lodge to line up nis
or her friends in that organization
and let that member become the can
didate of the lodge. Or let some Sun-,
day school teacher get the backing
of the whole school and the church
and everyone who attends that church
and Sunday school will help out. Or
the same might be done by any teach
er of the public schools. No one re
alizes the number of friends he or
she has until an occasion of this kind
comes up, and uless a person makes
the first move and gets in the race
no one knows how his friends will
come to his assistance. The awarding
of the grand prize is based on the
proposition as to who gets the most
votes by June first. As votes are giv
en on every subscription taken for
the Daily or Weekly Enterprise and
every one takes or wants to take one
of these papers, the whole secret of
winning the touring car hinges on
getting out and taking subscriptions.
Every subscription helps but the long
er the subscription the more votes
are given.
Renewals to the papers count the
same as new subscriptions and the
present subscriber will be only too
glad "to assist some hustling contest
ant by renewing his subscription. But
it is to the best interests of each can
didate to get out as soon as possible
and see all his friends, because there
are lots of people who will give their
subscriptions to the first one that
asks them for them.
Automobiles are getting more and
more popular each year as people re
alize the enjoyment and convenience
of an up to date car. Manufacturers
confidently predict that the auto busi
ness this year will exceed last years
record breaker volume by fully one
half. The most popular car in
the country is the Ford, and it
is one of the latest models of. this
make that will be presented to the
winner of the great Enterprise con
test. While thousands of people are
wondering how they can raise the
money to buy a good car the Enter
prise offers a 1912, $785 car,, absolute
ly free. You can win the Ford if you
will. Send in you name today, come
in and get a receipt book and get busy.

the boys take the assumed name or
not. Her maiden name was Joseph

PROPERTY OWNERS THINK IM

HANCE VALUES
PORTLAND COMPANY SEEKS CONTRACT
Representatives Of Two Big Paving
Concerns Offer Suggestions
Bithulitic Recommended
By Them
Believing that it would enhance the
value of their property to an extent
that would justify the expenditure,
several persons who own property on
Seventh Street are in favor of having
that street hard-surfaced. Samuel
Stow, who is connected with the Bar
ber Asphalt Company in Portland, in
spected the street Thursday and rec
ommended that bithulitic pavement
be laid. This has a rough surface
and gives better service than asphalt
where there are grades. Mr. Stow
will come here again today to give
the street further consideration. He
will be accompanied by Mr. Arnold,
of the Warren Construction Company,
which will make a bid for the work
in case the property owners decide
upon hard-surfacing the street
If th3 company is awarded the con
tract, and is given an assurance that
one or two other streets also will be
hardsurfaced, a portable plant will be
installed here. Main street is the on
ly thoroughfare in the 'city that has a
hard surface pavement and many of
the property owners think other
streets should be improved with bith
ulitic or asphalt. They argue that
the increased values the improvement
would give to real estate would more
than pay for the work, besides giving
Oregon City modern streets like many
in Salem, Eugene and other Oregon
cities of a class with this one.

nesday morning and consists of two
handsome arm chairs with leather up
holstering. Missin communion table
and two communion chairs. The deco
roations of the church were very pret
ty being of ferns and daffodils.
