Several of those letters will be published otday. : Roy Johnson, 7 " Davidson , street, ' Portland, has been battling along to get .up In the alz caab prises. He baa been within on of them and when he cashes tn some promises that have been made to him he may go In for a coin purse. Dur ing tbe last week he has held on to fig ure eight as though It ware a life pre server. One day he reached up and grabbed seven, but he did not retain it .' for long.- i. Worthy at grtiam. " j Roy Johnson la highly recommended by Profeasor Ed D. Curtis of Portland as follows:- .. "To The Oregon Journal The bearer. Roy , Johnson,- graduated with credit Trot flunnyslds school In February, !. He la Induatrlous, honeat, honor able, truthful and ambitious. His wish - 4m to qualify himaelf for business, and Intends to take a thorough course la the Behnke-Walker Bualneaa college A scholarship of that Institution would be of no small benefit and value to him. aa hi financial means consist of his own earnings. I commend him as worthy of . esteem .and assistance. Very respect fully. ; i v . f. B. D. CURTIS, :- "r i "Principal." ' - - The mallToad Candidate. - ". -; ' Clay Jones, 40 Eaat Twelfth street, Portland, la one of the most ambitious, , self-reliant and hard-worked boys tn the educational contest. He makes his own " way In the world, and he is appreciated . by a number of discerning people. He will have to rlss higher In the score list ' to -win the scholarship tn McMlnnvllle college, which he seeks, ss that school Is much In dsmsnd among the contest- . ants. ;. , - - . A. Laurence Black, pastor of the Cal vary Baptist church, contributes a Utter to The Journal telling why Clay Jonea should bs considered by patrons of The Journal who want to do good with their subscription money. The lettee follows: "Mr. Clay Jonea la a member of the Calvary Baptist church of this city, a son of Mrs. Julia Jones, also a member ' of this church and one of Oregon's pio neers and. native daughters; he is also a, brother of A. D. Jones, a well-known locomotive fireman. 'He la In every re spect worthy of the support of all Bap tists, Oregon pioneers and railroad men. and in fact any one elae who may wish to place votea tn bla favorI.hava-bee personally acquainted with. Clay and bis family for many yearssnd do not hesi tate ' to heartily Indorse his candidacy for a Journal scholarship. Mr Jones has" the ambition and the mettle out of which useful men 'are mad, and having had to work my own way through both college .and seminary, I the more cheer fully give him my support la this en deavor for an education. - " Mr. Jones Is wholly dependent upon his own resources, and la determined to make his own wsy through college. If he la successful In this contest he will i enter McMlnnvllle college, where I am sure he will distinguish himaelf as a scholar and a man of value to the world. Mr. Jones specialty J mathematics and oratory.., "A. LAURENCE BLACK, Pastor Calvary Baptiat Church." v ' '. .-ew OoaUstaat Inters. ' Professor M. C Case of Hlllaboro, county school superintendent of Wash ington county, nominated Miss Malsta O'Donnell of Buxton aa a suitable and worthy candidate for m, scholarship in The Journal Educational Contest. Miss O'Donnell was first notified of her nomination on July It.. She looked over her field for - gathering subscrip tions and thought that for her the con test might prove to be too 'big an under taking. - But-she Is prompt and busi nesslike and so. wrots The Journal a letter by the first mall following her notification This paragraph from that letter shows how timidly she approached the proposition:" - "I am muoh complimented that Pro fessor Case should nominate me and would gladly enter the contest if I can think I will have any . possible show. When I consider that there are 30 can didate for scholarships already In tha field, the time I have lost In not enter ing at the beginning, and the difficulty of traveling about up In this part of ths country, It seem almost hopeless for me to try. - i v -. -. , "Owing to the population . being so scattered I would have to cover the. whole of Washington county, wouldn't IT If you honestly think I have a fair chance to win one of the scholarships, I shall go to work on receipt of your reply, a there Is no newspaper on the ooaat so. neat, newsy and attractive as The Journal.

And Dr. Carey believes that there la no good reason why Multnomah county should bear the expense. It is now be lieved ' certain that Wong Bus has leprosy.
