Leading One« Still Closely Bunched In
The Eagles Campaign at Close of the
First Period Saturday Night—But Two
Weeks Left.
Going up!
Swinging into line, all a-tingle
with high hopes and ambitions, can­
dictates in the Eagle’s now famous
campaign have swelled their vote
totals to a wonderfully high mark
and from now on to the finish it
will be a pretty «.¿citing race be­
tween the leaders.
The first period of the campaign,
which closed Saturda ynight, was a
tremendous succor".. Tens of thou­
sands—yes, huiolr ds of thousands
—of votes were issued and every
“live” canlidate profited mightily.
It is a strange coincidence too,
and something unusual in affairs of
this kind, but each of the leading
candidates who are striving for first
honors and the grand prize, bene­
fited so equally during the period
just closed that, without hair-line
figuring, could today’s leaders be de­
termined.
The competition, therefore, so far
as the respective standing of the
candidates is concerned depends en-
tlrely upon the results obtained by
the various candidates between now
and the finish as to who the ulti-
mate leaders will be. The above is
not mere “talk” for the sake of
telling, but real facts—theories or
tumors notwithstanding. Hence the
struggle for supremacy will he
fought out during the next few days
fo rthe entire campaign comes to a
fateful close in just 16 days and
-two Sundays are included in this
figure. The “second period” closes
a week from Saturday night.
And now for the whirlwind finish.
Now for the sensations and surprises
These are the days that will teat the
resourcefulness of the candidates.
Here is where their courage upholds
them and makes them fight, or lack
of it takes the stiffness out of their
knees and leaves them trailing in
the dust—an “also ran.” There are
times, too, when supreme courage
urges them when they tire, and that
is the gamest fight of all.
MILL WORK
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Much activity at the mill.
The
new shingle mill is about ready to
go and awaiting only a few finish­
ing touches. This ia a new industry
for Vernonia, representing a new
investment of >40,000 and will have
a large monthly pay roll.
Thu
mill ia owned by home people and
is built absolutely modern in every
respect. Vernonia certainly welcomes
new enterprises of this character
and the hum of the shingle saw,
will be splendid music. It hlepa in
many ways.
Shingle weavers with
big pants will soon be a common
sight, as they expect to start the
new mill next week.
The event is
worthy a celebration.
’Tie the coward who quits to mis-
fortune,
'Tis the knave who changes each
day;
’Tis the fool who starts like a whirl­
wind,
Then throws all his chances away.
The time to succeed is when others
Discouraged, show traces of tire;
The battle is fought on the home
stretch
And won ’twixt the flag and the
wire.
Second Period Vote* Count Big.
Votes will pile up rapidly during'
the ntxt ten days, thnt is, while the i
“second preiod” schedule is in effect1
The liveliest part of the competition
is now at hand; and while candidate’
are on exactly the sam footing ot
the same time, those who want to
—and W*U—are afforded the op­
portunity of the campaign to forge
ahead and corral the winning vote.«.
Better Be Safe Than Sorry.
A few more laps and the course
will have been run.
Only a short
time remains to choose between vic­
tory and defeat—success or failure.
Don’t overlook a single opportunity
to better your chances to win. Avail
yourself of the opportunities, this
period offers. Think and plan con­
stantly for the means to success.
Figure ways to win, and always re­
member that your adversaries, as
keen and resourceful a, yourself,are
racing very keen brains for the same
purpose.
It means something to win in a
competition of this kind.
It is a
demonstration of capacity that is
extraordinary. It proves a ginning
prsonality. Sometimes ,lt proves up
the ‘‘yellow’’ in your bogus friends,
but it reveals the true ones, and it
always testa your mettle and meas­
ures your strength.
From nxw until the finish is the
time when 100 per cent efficiency
counts.
BILL CONGDON
NOW LOCATED
AT VERNONIA
"Bill” Congdon, once a lunch
counter man in a Condon pastime,
is now promoting in Vernonia the
cat-rat ranch prposition over which
he has been enthusiastic for years
wl^re he announces that he may
organize a stock company and let
the bankers and other prominent
citizens of Vernonia in on the
ground. “Bill” talked about a simi­
lar company here a year or two ago
but the rat-and-cat business was dull
just then, as the regalia of that
strenuous period were not fur trim­
med, and, besides, did not propose
to allow any one to share the profits
As a matter of fact, there is no

GOLD HILL, Or.,—It has long
been known that gold specimen
quartz could be picked up from the
streets of Gold Hill, which had been
surfaced with crushed quartz front
tht dumps of near-by mines, and
that under the streets is heavy gold
placer untouched in the ancient
channel of Rogue river, but only re­
cently has it been lamcnstrated that
the hillsides of the diver gorge site
of the old mining town will also be
a heavy producer of gold, ailvcr,
iron, nickle, copper and other metais
The Kelmar-Vanpet company re­
cently opened large bodiei of these
metals on the “Big” sylvanite vein
extending under the town at the
north boundaries of the city limits,
which is considered by the minin'*
fraternity the biggest find yet in
in the district, not excepting the
original Gold Hill pocket, which pro­
duced $700,000 in gold on top of
the ground, on the opnosite side of
the river frm these new diggings.

GOT HER DEER
Mrs. Charles D. White obtained
first page notice this week, by her
daring stunt of capturing a deer
last Saturday. Wild deer in the city
limits is not a common occurance,
but this one got here "ome way.
