All Over United States.
The Commercial ("tub's prize wsay con
ent was decided last night. John Roach
Strntton. of Baltimore, Md.. was awarded
The capital prize of $1000. and Mis Mateel
Howe, of Portland, was awarded the sec
(.nd prize of $500. Eighty prizes, were
Awarded, varying In amount from $2p0 to
iU' A total of $.vi0 was distributed
mnnK SO out of 34 contestants.
Oregon received a tremendous amount
of advertising as the result of the Com
mercial Club's contpt, which was carried
through by Manager Tom Richardson.
N'nt only were the articles entered in the
contest, which were descriptive of Port
lnnd and n-egon, printed in new.papers
nH over the I nited States, hut a number
of prize-winning stories were published in
forflen papers. The contept was a treat
success from every standpoint, and par
ticularly in that it aroused widespread in
terest in this state because of the pub
licity secured, the oh feet of the t'ommcr-.-ial'riub
in launching the contest.
Judges In the contest wre Professor
James F. Bwine. of Portland Academy;
.1. K. Tyler, news editor of the Oregon
Journal. "and W. J. Cuddy, editor of The
Weekly Oreironinn. The committee re
turned its findings lust nipht.
Judges Face Huge Task.
It was a monumental task: for the com
mittee to decide upon the merits of the.
large number of articles submitted. In a
number of cases single contestants sub
mitted a number of articles, one entering
,"3 consecutive letters appearing in a
weekly publication. Tt was decided at the
outset by the Judges that only one prize
should be awarded to individual con
trstniit?. The contest was started in the Spring
of iftrirt. and was at first planned to include
only articles by schoolteachers who vis
ited the lewis and Clark Fair from the
Fast. It. ws.s believed that if the impres
sions of these teachers were written and
printed tn perlodicwls printed outside of
Oregon, the resulting publicity would
prove very beneficial for Oregon. The
scope of the contest was enlarged a little
Uter to include any one who wished to
f ntet.
"hecke will be written tomorrow by
Manager Tom Richardson, of the Com
mercial Club, and mailed to prize-winners.
The report of the judges of the contest
is as follows:
Mr. Thorn a Richardson, Manager
Com merelal Club:
vour committee, appointed hy Ooverne-r
fienrire. R. t'liamherlaln to deride the prize
mniff fer ' the bept sustained stortcp of
I'erriand and vleinity. hp leave to report:
Oregon Widely Advertised.
That in nil aMut TllO contestant suh
mltted Brticls nnd the total number of
newspaper, mn r zl new and othr periodicals
tn which stories appearrfl will reach ah-uit
400. The. newspapers used as vehicles for
th stories are publications issued In every
sfate of the t'nton and In many of the
prominent cities of the country. Articles
submitted and accepted have been published
tn several foreign newspapers, nottreably In
ireat Britain. rnnnOa and Mexico. The con
test was far-reahinir tn Its Rood results
and not only wear the articles formtnsr the
hulk of the eoTreFnondence published In the
newspapers Co which they were submitted
hy contestants, hut the clipping bureaus
Phnw that thev were extensively re pled and
rommnied upon tn hundreds of publications
not entered as 'With pet Itlve" papers.
As an advertising medium no better
method could have been adopted. When the
returns shall have been checked up the re
mits will undoubtedly show that Portland
and Orejron have been benefited to the ex
tent of thousands upon thousands of dollars.
Roughly estimated, the direct advertising
value of the articles entered In the contest
would have cost about e"2.".onn. Just how
mti'-h more of advert! sine value could be
totaled from Indirect results will probably
be better calculated later In the season.
Rvery article entered In the contest was
given the most careful consideration. Rach
member of the committee passed on the
stories and tn many cases there were two
and three readinrw of one article.
A deal of time has been consumed In
a -riving at conclusions as to prizes, but
this could not be avoided as the reading
and rereading of approximately SoO.liOO
words of copv had to be done at odd hours,
as all of your committee are busy men. No
one of us has slighted the work and con
testants can rewt assured that no snap
judgment was taken of their work
Trusting that the findings of the com
mittee will please the rluh and satisfy the
contestants, we are, respectfully,
JAMES K. EWTTCO.

Miss Howe Portland Girl.
Miss Matcel Howe, winner of second
prize, was a Kansas girl, having been
born in Atchison. Kan.. 24 years ago. She
has lived in Portland the pa.st two years.
Although a child of the prries. she has
come to like Portland and its nearby
mountains better than the plains of the
Middle West, as her prize-winninfp story
shows.
Miss Howe received her education in
some of the best Kastern schools, hoins a
graduate of the Mt. Vernon Seminary,
Washington. T. . where she lived for
four years. Upon graduation, in 19it5. she
accompanied her father. E. w. Howe, on
a trip around the world. Having visited
the principal cities of the world on this
trip, she is in a position to speak with
considerable authority on the charms of
Portland.
Miss Howe comes from a literary fam
ily. Her father is editor of the Atchison
lobe and ts the author of a number of
books. His latest work is the story of
the trip around the world, .which has had
a large sale. Miss Howe's two brothers
are newspaper men. She has been a con
tributor to various periodicals for soma
time. The Independent. Xew York, re
cently printed one of her stories and an
other will appear in the Ladies' Home
Journal in the July number. She got ht?r
name, Mateel, from the heroine of her
fathers book, "The Story of a Kansas
Town."
All who have watched Miss Howe's
progress are enthusiastic about her work
and predict a brilliant future for her.

Portland Testimony
Mrs. A. S. Cummings, 244 Clackamas
street, Portland. Oregon, says: "I am
always pleased to say a good word for
Doan's Kidney Pills and readily con
firm the statement I gave some years
ago In their favor, after they had re
lieved me of kidney trouble. This com
plaint had clung to me for a long time,
and often the attacks of pain tn my
bark were so acute as to be almost
unbearable. There was also a dull,
heavy aching in the region of my Kid
neys, and though I was constantly us
ing remedies, the annoyance still con
tinued. The irregular action of the
kidney secretions showed that my rur
ferlng arose from the kidneys, and
when Doan's Kidney Pills were rec
ommended to me. I prooired s, supply
at the Laue-Davls Drug Co. They not
only eradicated the pains in my back,
but strengthened the kidneys and im
proved my health." ...
