Gorrell must have sent in 100 titles 'n the last month, but he was in the game for keeps, and now he knows that he has the goods. Thanks to Mr. Gorrell, if you happen'to be a man; and if you are a "steno," then the more credit to you. This week will close the fifth title contest and the hottest one yet Last week one woman lost by two words. She had the idea, but did not make it Quite brief enough. It strengthens a title to have it short the shorter the better. The Title Contest Editor would not have this fine 'job if he was not supposed to know something about it. So let's consider an early lesson we had in title writing. It concerns a fish dealer. , In front of his shop he placed a sign, "Fine, Fresh Fish for Sale Here Every Day." Now this fish dealer though! he was set for plenty of business until one of his custom ers came along and criticised the sign. The suggestion was made that the words "Every Day" were not needed, and the dealer agreed, with the result that the sign appeared, "Fine, Fresh Fish for Sale Here." Then another customer came along and suggested that the words "Fine" and "Fresh" were unnecessary, be cause if he sold any fish they would have to be fine and fresh or he would not have any business. So the new sign appeared, "Fish for Sale Here." This sign seemed to meet the re quirements until another friend came along and suggested that any one would know that if he handled fish they would be for sale, and suggested that the "For Sale Here" be eliminated, with the result that the new sign appeared simply as "Fish," and it met the real object of the business. So might we im press upon you all you big family of contestants that you make your titles as simple and as apropos as possible. Do this and get the money. But Gorrell, whoever he or she is, did not have it all his own way. Take Mrs. Clyde Harmon of Kerry, Or., with her "In the Hands of the Receivers," or C. A. Elliott of 45 Trinity place, with his "Putting Him in His Place." These titles helped to make things interesting, and they gave Gorrell a close race. Some of the others worthy of mention River Steamer Is Burned. Fire practically destroyed the river steamer lone as she was docked at the foot of Washington street yes terday morning. The Western Trans portation company which owns the craft estimated the damage at ap proximately $10,000, partly covered by insurance. The steamer has been used to carry paper from the pulp mills at Camas: A cargo of paper on board the boat which had been brought here Friday night was practically a total loss. The fire started under the galley of the steamer. The David Campbell, fire boat, responded to the fire call and fought the flames. Varnish House OpbnbdA. L. Greene of San Francisco, represent ing the Boston Varnish company, has opened up a big wholesale es tablishment for the sale of the prod ucts of that company at 490 Burn side street. Products of the Murralo company and the Goodman Brush company also will be handled at the same headquarters. W. J. Malt house has been appointed district manager by Mr. Greene and will cover the state of Oregon from the new Portland headquarters. E. D. Pyle has been placed in charge of business in the city of Portland. Wanted, $25,000 to $50,000.

"Registered Mail," "Key to the Situation" and "Three to One" seemed to be the most popular se lections, and the title contest family increased several hundred. Last week many new friends were noted and some of the old ones missed. Mrs. Wright of Rex came back with a heavy barrage after her last week's 810 prize, but she just did not seem to have the "stuff." But enough for bygones. Let's be Woman Wins $625 Damages.
