"The successful contestant will right worthily represent the beauty and natural wealth of this most favored land. No fairer queen will be In all that splendid pageant, and no float will be emblematic of a fairer land. Miss Browning is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J, L. Browning of this city. She 13 highly gifted in music and contributes freely and willingly to every important occasion by her songs. She has a cultivated voice of surpassing sweetness. -Miss Browning will also go to Se attle and attend the world's fair as a guest of the Enterprise Commer cial club, all her expenses for both trips being paid. The contest developed considerable interest the closing day owing to the close race between Misses Browning and Craig, the former winning by the narrow margin of 69 votes when the polls .closed at 9 o'clock Tuesday night. The final count stands as follows: Edna Browning 807, Joyce Craig 738, Eula Foraylha 169, Maude Lltch 100, Ethel Weaver 85. The contest was quite successful from a financial standpoint, about the same amount being realized as from the contest in La Grande. Ev ery vote polled was bought by En terprise people, none of the other towns being willing to put up a cent to advertise the coanty In this man ner. That it will be a fine adver tisement bo one who has lnvestlga,t ed the matter doubts for a moment. The float will be a magnificent af fair. J M, Berry, formerly of La Grande and we'l known in this coun ty, under date of Kay 89, voluntar ily wrote from Portland to President Aiiller as follows: "Dear Sir: I was requested by the president of the La Grande Com mercial club to inspect the float made for them to be used in the parade at the coming festival here, and we noted with much pride the oae also designed for our sister coun ty, and bespeak for Wallowa coun ty much favorable comment and ad vertisement resulting from their laudable enterprise In such a dis play."
