- It was through a conteat Inauguratad
' I several montha : ago by tha-Chicago
i Tribune that tha present contest was
i atarted. Oregonlana, and tor that tnat-
tar, people everywhere, know that ore
'fon bai tha moat beautiful woman tn
' America, and that le tantamount to eay
ilng tha most beautiful In the world, i
. Oregon women are famous the length
' and breadth of the coast (or their
beauty. It Is high Urn that their fame
U was 4aralded to the world. This Tha
' '. Journal, will do. It la one of twenty
- three papers In different sections of the
'j country seeking tha moat beautiful
'.'woman In America and It wants photo-
i graphs of all, tha pretty women In the
' l.istate; ', -
it ' CMcago'a Beautiful Woman.
! ! The atatement of tha Chicago Tribune
that" It had bound tha moat beautiful
'J woman In America and that she Is a
resident of tha Windy City, has aroused
j pride and resentment ln-'-our mldat
,TUi statement-, was made: with the
. J charactaziaUo arrogance of Chicago, and
came really In the nature of a challenge
v to ' other ' sections. .-But the people of
f the" Windy City reckoned without their
; j host. Other states and other oltles and
. -v sections may accept this statement aa
v , being a face lo so with Oregon. It Is
' ""la surprising claim. "for there -are- mll
. i- lions of women In our own country, and
'the majority v pf them, ate beautiful
!. But the moat beautiful of them all are
j In Oregon. - Tba Oregon - Journal baa
.'undertaken to prove It, too.
fy It took tha Chicago Tribune several
j , montha to find tha woman who It Is
' now declared Is the most beautiful In
1 '" America. It la confidently believed that
i ' no mora than- a day or so will be neces
, ry to find an Oregon woman who is
Tithe, peer' of this Chicago paragon of
personal charms. ' But this conteat Is to
J, be -made thorough. .. It, Is to be' eon
' , ducted on a fair but sweeping basis, and
the pictures of beautiful women from
..- every part of. this -state are to be sub
'mUted ta this, contest before a final
J ' verdict 1 rendered. ; i . ,

" V; ntsu xpected that thouaanfla ot ho-
; v tograitti -will' be considered In the
' search for the most waautlfuf woman In
Oregon; It '-Is probable that scores of
;S them will appear 4n the Illustrated
; . Magaslae of The Sunday pregoa jour
nal. The winners may appear-la the
'' x'f. earlier stages of tha contest er not until
... V ths final judgment has been rendered.
la any-event, it will be an honor .wall
worth the winning to be known as tha
r. most beautiful woman ' In Oregon
5 which will mean tha moat ' beautiful
