DELUGE' OF VOTES CAST IN THE OREGONIAN CONTEST
FREE TRIP TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK FOR TWENTY-THREE YOUNG WOMEN
PROVES AN' ALLURING PRIZE AND THE FRIENDS OF ALL CANDIDATES ARE ACTIVE
"Have you youc .subscription to The
Oregonlan paid up more than a year In
advance?"
This is a question that is being asked
dally In hundreds of towns In Washing;
ton, Idaho and Oregon. If you reply in
the negative to the interrogator you will
immediately -be asked to take out an
additional subscription to obtain 1000
votes to gladden the heart of some am
bitious young lady who is intent upon
visiting the Tellowstone National Park
the guest of The Oregonlan.
"Could I get the coupons from your
Oregonlan ?" )
Centers or Subscriptions.
This is another .question that is very
frequently asked. But the real fight iri
The Oregonlan- Yellowstone Park contest
centers around the -subscriptions. The
one year, sis months and three months
subscriptions arc the blows that count
and roll up votes with amazing rapidity.
Coupons are a gooff thing to collect and
they swell the number of votes cast ma
terially, but the most effective work Is
done by the medium of securing sub
scriptions. The interest has become so intense that
the length of subscriptions arc by no
means limited to one year. In fact, some
ardent admirers of the young lady con
testants have been known to take the
paper three to four years in advance
On j'oung lady who lives In one of the
Willamette Valley cities sent In 5C7.50 to
The Oregonian this week for subscriptions
and all the votes have been placed to her
sredlt. She does not believe that the
Office should seek the candidate and is
making her system count, much to the
consternation and amazement of many
other young ladies in her district. As for
that matter it Is almost a. dally occur
rence to receive sums ranging from 510
to JCO for subscriptions.
Boise vs. Walla Walla.
Boise. Idaho, and Walla Walla, Wash.,
are in the same district and the contest
between tho" young lady contestants of
those two cities is particularly Intense.
Boise Is determined to send her most
popular candidate to the Yellowstone
Park, and Walla Walla is equally deter
mined to have her most popular young
lady numbered among the fortunate
ladles who will compose the party. The
outcome is watched with much Interest.
The struggle between the young ladles
of Centralia, Wash., and Hoqulam,
Wash., which cities arc In one district. Is
also becoming very hotly contested.
It is expected that by. March 15 several
of the leaders will have more than
100.000 votes to their credit.. This Is based
upon the voting of the past, and, instead
of decreasing, the average Is on the In
crease. The shortest' and most convenient
routes to the Yellowstone National Park
are over the O. It. & N. and the O. S. I.
over which The Oregonlan party will
travel. On or about July 1 the main
route to the Park over the O. R. & X.
and O. S. X.. will be by the way of St.
Anthony from Pocatello. The service on
these two roads Is as elegant as can be
found In tho United States and nothing
will be left undone that can possibly add
to the comfort of the members- of the
party when they travel over the O. R.
& N. and the O. S. 1.

SAVE TELEGRAPH POLES
Forest Service Studies Economy of

washiT,TON. D. C. Feb. 26.
With the life of telephone and tele
graph poles at its present limit, the 800,-
000 miles of existing lines, requiring m.
000.000 noles. must be renewed approxi
mattelv four times before, trees suitable
to take their place can grow. A pole
lasts in service about 12 years, on the
average, but is made from a tree about
60 years old. In other words, to main
tain a continuous supply five times as
many trees much be growing in the forest
as there are poles In use. The severity
of this drain upon forest resources by the
telephone and telegraph companies is ob
vlous enough. Just as in the case Of rail
road ties, the question of pole supply has
thrust Itself into, prominence. To length
en the life of poles, and In this way to
moderate demand and conserve future
supplies has become an important mat
tor, affecting the public as well as private
Interests.
Since 1902 the Forest Service has been
making a thorough study of the preserva
tlve treatment of poles and of the value
of the seasoning in relation to treatment.
In this work its first object has been,
as In its studies of cross-tics and con
struction timbers, to make the timber
last as long as possible, so as to check
the annual demand for renewal and thus
lessen so far as possible the drain upon
the forest. Co-opcratlng with telephone
and telegraph companies. railroads.
lumber companies and individuals, it has
urged forward a scries of experiments
covering all phases of the problem, from
the question of the best season for cut
ting, through subsequent stages of hand-
llnng, to the final setting of the pole.
Some of the moat important results ob

TRUSTY AIJJS JAILBREAK
Xcvathv Desperadoes Overpovcrcd
When Aboutxto Kill Jailer.
ItEXO. Xev.. Feb. 27. Wesley Gordon,
one of the three desperadoes who have
been trying to break out of the County
Jail at Elko, has made a sensational con
fession following a third effort to escape.
The third attempt was discovered after
the prisoners had tiled off their handcuffs
and broken their "Oregon boots" to bits.
They had then torn up a heavy Iron bar,
and. with pieces of Iron several feet long,
were preparing to kill the jailer when
he entered to feed them. They were found
lying In wait for him, and were rushed
by four men, who overpowered them and
chained them to the cells.
Gordon says that he and his two com
panions. Sterling and Watson, were fur
nished with flics, knives and gunpowder
by a trusty; that guns were planted out
side the Jail, and that after killing the
jailer they intended to break for the hills
and kill any one who might pursue them.
With the powder they had blown their
heavy steel "Oregon boots" to pieces, and
with the saws had removed their hand
cuffs. The trusty will be held to the grand
jury. The negro Gordon said that several
lives would have been lost had the plot
been successful.

confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is & god-send to all women at tha
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend"
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents morning
sickness, and other ais
' comforts of this period.
