GonteHt now on for a Free World's Fair Ticket, with $100.00 for expense
money, to be given absolutely free to the fortunate young lady receiving the
greatest number of votes, out of a total number of 124,000 votes, which we nier
ciuintH have been and will continue to give one vote with each ten-cent purchase,,
unt. the entire number is in the hands of the people, our customers, after
wnitii with due notice, through the columns of this paper, the poll will close, and
the lady receiving the largest vote will promptly receive her ticket and expense
money, all of which is on deposit at Butler & Co.'s Bank.
At this time there are already distributed about 80,000 votes, and there are
still in the hands of the merchants about 44,0Q0 votes, which we will continue to
give until they are all given out; as by mutual agreement we will divide with each
other as long as any of us possess a coupon, so that every feature of the contest
will be fair, open and above board.
We distinctly wish to state that we.are not interested in the fortunes of
any particular candidate, leaving that decision in the hands of the
customers, and will gladly present my check for $1,000 to any one who

standing the object of this contest, which is not a personal affair with me, but a
business proposition which we went into to increase our business, and I thankfully
say it has had the desired result. -
We further wish to state the contest will close Saturday evening, October
1st, at 9 p. m. sharp, standard time.
We will continue to give coupons with every 10-cent purchase as long as they
last, and believe that no one should be discouraged, as scarcely one-fourth of the
votes have been polled yet, and no living person can foretell the result of the contest
Therefore, back your favorites, which costs you nothing, and will give her
a pleasant, interesting and instructive trip at the choicest time of the year, free.
We are the only firm giving coupons in our line. We never have been
so well equipped to please you as now, with New Fall Stocks of stylish Dry
Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Cloaks, Jackets, Skirts, Warm Under
wear and every new novelty on the market in our line. Ask for the coupons, as
these are busy times with us, and in our rushes we might neglect some one, but will
gladly rectify any error made.
Yours truly,

Promises Improved Light Service.
There have liuen many complaints of
late becauseof the poor service furnished
by tbe Electric Light Co.. but if the
public will be patient a little longer,
Manager Vorse promises a greatly im
proved system in a few days.
The low stage ot water in Hood river
has lessened the How in the Hume at the
power house,iiud this prevents tho dy
namo from working to its full capacity.
Men are now at work lengthening tho.
wingdum so as to afford a stronger How
of water, and Manager Vorse states that
his company has placed an order for a
larger dynamo.
When this is installed the company
assures its patrons that the service will
lie greatly buttered, and that it will be
possible to supply twice the number of
lights that are now taken. The wires ot
the company have been worked to their
limit ot late, but every effort will be
made to improve the service.

Professor Cninso, aHhintaiit principal
of the Hood River public schools, has
introduced a new system of rewards for
tho diligent pupils of tho Hood River
schools.
The system was adopted at a teachers'
meeting Monday afternoon, and is
known as the button system. The pu
pil who is perfect in deportment for live
days receives a little round button or
stick pin bearing tho word "Deport
ment. ' For punctuality und scholar
ship he receives similar buttons, which
if he is permitted to keep for ten days
each, entitle him to u triangular button
bearing all three of the words "Punctu
ality, Deportment, Scholarship." If
the triangular button is kept fur ;!0davs
tha wearer is entitled to a diamond
shaped pin, and the pupils who have
diamond pins at the end of the term
will be given some suitable permanent
reward.
Tho former system of granting a half
holiday has !ecn discarded. Principal
Wiley believes the new system will meet
with favor among the pupils and that it
will be an incentive to good work and
good results in the school room.
Principal Wiley received notification,
Monday morning, from State Superin
tendent Ackerman that he had been"
granted a state life diploma. Professor
Wiley's general average on the certifi
cate was 9ti. For an average of this "
high grade he deserves congrattifations.

to 380. The high school has an enroll
ment of ,11 pupils, 13 in the tenth grade
and 18 in the ninth.
