In district No. 1 the name of one contestant la dropped from the score list. This was Christie Burkholder of Latourelle Falls. This contestant haa not been turning In subscriptions 960 100 for some time, nor has she reported in any way. Four other contestants will soon be dropped unless they make reports.

Blanche Belshaw, the new contest ant at Eugene, haa made a record breaking canvass of Springfield and Co burg, which netted her subscriptions measuring out to 16,41)6 votes. In re porting her success Miss Belshaw was accompanied by Miss Mae Douglass and In reporting her subscriptions she says: "The Sorlna-fleld people are surely hustlers. As soon as we arrived In Springfield the news spread downthe street that we were soliciting: for The Journal and that 'no' would not be taken from any one. We attribute our success very much to the courteous treatment as well as the encourage ment of William Cheshire and the can vassing of William J. Bryan, both pros- Seroua business men of Springfield, nly one man took to the tall timber. the same being the wealthy proprietor 'Heretofore It haa been nosalhU for us to construct plank roads in the east- I ern section of the county rather cheaply I because when the mills were In opera- . tlon we purchased the material at rea- i eonable ratea. Most of the mills have been abandoned or removed to railroad shipping points and we can no longer secure the planking at such low prices." It simply resolves Itself to this: We are obliged aa we now see It to use gravel or rock. We Incline to opening! up either a gravel pit or stone quarry i near Anderson station." i Judge Webster referred to the old I matter of Dr. McCorkle. who once re- j quested a f ranch 1m to hniM . 1 1 r a to Mount Hood tapping that section of the country, saying that If the franchise nad been granted the promoter promised to put In a spur track at Kelly Butte, in that event we would certainly have saved the ST.

But we re ceived 10,925 votes In one hour. We ex tend many thanks to Pnrlngfleld busi ness men for their courteousness and assistance. . "We obtained 600 votes In Coburg;. Our luck was due, however, to the help of the superintendent of the Booth Kelly office." Cottage Grove Boy. John E. Cooter. the new contestant at Cottage Grove, goes Into the scholar ship race on the last end with the method that wins. He Is stirring up Cottage Grove to the very limits. He Is out with his subscription book and haa organised his friends to create sen timent in his favor. The principal of the West 81de Cottage Grove school has strongly indorsed John Cooter, as follows: "Cottajte Grove, Or., Aug. 17. Man ager Subscription Contest Department 9r?g01. J"urnal.
