MIbs Grayce
McKlnney
Irarnlnir nn thn Pnrlfln coast, she at
mice tipolilrd to enter and compete for
honors with all comers. With the grand
showing she made at the Inst score this
rnntffltnnt frnm Rlalock hS nrovon HT
eelf an earnest worker. Her father is
an old civil war veteran, having served
four vears In the army. He fought
bravely nt Gettysburg and was wounded
in that famous battle. Ills daughter no
doubt, with the fighting instincts of
)ier nnter. will put up as vigorous
fight In the battle for scholastic honors
in the Journal's contest. Miss McKln
ney Is a niece of Or. N. O. lilnlnrk of
AValla Walla, who is well and favor
nl'ly known throughout Washington and
Oregon. Her father is now following
farming and Is nroRperous. With an
mmv of friends and acauaintances. Miss
McKlnney will, it is predicted, come
out wiHi flying colors at the close of
the Oregon journal's third annual schol
arship contest in . September.
The new entries are showing up well
in the contest and will put extra ef
forts into the -work. . Some are of the
opinion that a short, hard struggle Is
just as effective as a long one. With
the fixed determination to wtn a schol
arship and a big cash award, those who
will enter from now on can, of course,
easilv win out. It all depends on the
cnergv and the will. It's Just like a
handicap race. Ofttimes those who are
greatly handicapped easily overtake
those who have such a lead that would
discourage those so far behind, but the
handicap runners cross the line first
end get the applause of the multitude.
There Is glory attached to the winning
of a popular contest of any kind, espe
cially when ballots are the factors. The
great number of people who are Inter
ested are enthused Just as much as the
contestants, and as the contest prog
resses the interest Increases, all of
which prompts and urges the workers
to renew their energies. Get in the
scholarship race boys and girls, and
demonstrate to your friends that you
are capable of earning your way through
college. Consult the contest manager,
who will gladly instruct you.

RAILROADS COu
III FOR LUMBER
Have Bought Very Sparing
ly Since Last Fall and
Stocks Run Low.
It Is rumored that the railroads are
again coming into the field for lumber.
If such be the case a strengthening in
the market will likely soon follow be
cause buying on the part of the rail
roads has a material effect upon the
lumber business. Of that there is no
question. .
Very little lumber has been bought
by the railroads sinco last fall when
the lumberman began to protest against
the advanced freight rate on lumber to
joints east cr the Kockies ana tt is be
leved that they are pretty well In need
of material by this time. Nor have they
been in tho market for ties. In the
meantime the tie mills have remained
closed down and they assert that there
wiTl be no bargain counter sales in their
lino even if the railroads should choose
to keep from buying another year, or
two. The timber is considered too val
uable to be cut into ties bringing only
s per thousand reet. Most tie men
hold out for $10. Last summer they
sold as high as $14 and $15.
The demand for upper grades of build
ing material continues quite brisks al
though there appears to be a slight fall
ing off In tho local building actlvltv.
This is attributed to the fact that the
vacation season is on when those who
can afford to do so would rather so-
lourn at the seashore than rush about
n the heat of the city building monu
ments for themselves.
Several dealers having closed a num
ber of good rail orders durlnir the week.
One outside mill sold 60 carloads, for
eign business shows further Improve

buy more freely and Australia has
placed a number of large orders. The
west coast of South America is also
buying considerably.

baaes his opinion on the single element
of economy, at the same time assert
ing that as an artlstlo medium con
crete is quite as good as ajiy, variety
of stone or of terra cotta. Once the
mold is made, says this authority,' the
cost of producing any kind of concrete
decoration becomes the merest trifle
as compared with stone or marble. '
"Considering its greater economy, it
may be employed in many cases where
the cost of cut stone would be pro
hibitive and terra cotta unsuitable. Its
use embraces not only statuary, garden
furniture, fountains and urns, but orna
mental walls, bridges and balustrades.
