Mu»e« c.una Hills, Beulah Mar- tin, Alta Mulkey and Frances Beatty ’ are making the fight in District No. 2. There is considerable activity on the part of the four young ladies as to who will carry off the prize in that district. In District No. 6 the candidates are getting a little nervous, but the race seems to be between five young ladies, and it is a pretty hard guess as to how they stanu The race is between three young ladies in I) strict N. 4,, and the result seems about even and extremely doubtful. In District No. 5 Miss Ruby Scott and Miss Frances Bushev are the candidates, It is evident that one of these young ladies will be awarded the prize. The nine young ladies who are the lucky ones on Saturday will rement- ber this trip a life time, Arrange- meats have been made to give them rhe grandest trip that could possibly be given under any circumstances, a.id it is certainly worth an effort on the part of the candidates to see that they have sufficient support to win. The exposition management has invited The Guard’s party to be the guests of honor on “Eugene Day”— and that means that everything at the big fair will be at your cont- mand.
