Out-of-town contest ' ants and subscribers should make sure to ise« their last remittances In the mail before postoffices close for the j day. The postmark must show, or other evidence be furnished to prove ' that the votes were mailed on Jan uary 12, la order to get them included i In the final score for the period. ' \u25a0"Vote early and m often," should be' the motto of every person interested in the outcome of the first period of The Call's 510,000 gold prize contest, which comes to a close tonight. The candidates who are striving for the prizes will need all the votes they can Srct before the polls close at 10 b"clock this evening. The higher they will stand In the score after the returns for the period are all in the richer Ihe reward they will receive when the first series of prizes is awarded nert week. These prizes wiil be twenty- i Jive in number, amounting' to S2OOO in ; grold and divided Jnto purses of the i following values: First, $500; second, $300; third, $200; fourth, \u25a0 5150; fifth, $100; five of 560 each; five of 540 each; five of $30 each and five of $20 each.

There in only one way to vote, and that is to pay for the paper for a period of at least one month in advance. There are , no free voting coupons to be cut out of the paper, to the great annoyance of subscribers who Co not like to have their papers mutilated. ICeltlier are votes allowed on contracts to take the paper for a stated time and pay by the month. In order to afford the most equitable opportunity and an abso lutely square deal to all, cash sub ncrlptions alone are allowed to count in the contest. There will be no stuff ing; of the ballot box •with counterfeit ballots or worthies? contracts in the .Interest of any contestant. The contest 1s a business proposition throughout, and the contestant In \u25a0whose favor the irreatest amount of subsciiptlons will |be paid will get the greatest reward ifor his influence or services In in creasing the circulation of The Call. The second period of the contest \u25a0will commence immediately after the close of the first, 8.r.6 •will last seven "weeks, closing Saturflay night, March 2, when another $2000 divided into the same purses as th*» first series will be awarded. There wiJl be another period efter that, for the same number of purses of the same value, which will trlng the contest to an end on Saturday \u25a0night, April IS, making $COOO awarded fop to that time. Then the remaining $4000 of the $10,000 to be distributed among contestants will be divided Into twenty-five purses ranging from $1000 down to $40, to be awarded on April *1S to the twenty-five contestants having the highest aggregate scores for the three contest periods. Should the same contestant win first prize In each con test period his total winnings would be $2500. The score printed at the head of this column shows the rtanding of the sev eral contestants so far as returns were received up to 6 o'clock Friday evening.

Miss Hayward remains a close second, and she •will find It difficult to overtake the college if the friends of the institution continue a loyal sup port. Miss Hayward is fighting gal lantly to capture first prize if she can, or at least to hold second place to the end.

Today there will be a wild scrambling among the tail-enders to get \u25a0within the prize winning limit. MISS BRIOOY AT WATSO.WILLE Some of the country contestants are likely to furnish some eurprlses for their city rivals. If reports from the south prove true Miss Gertrude Briody i of Santa Cruz will make a sensational i finish in the first heat of the race. ! Miss Briody is not confining her efforts to her home town, but is making a sys tematic canvas? of the whole of Santa Cruz County. Watsonville, the rich center of the great Pajara Valley, located In Santa Cruz County, has an enterprising class of citizens, who are loyal to their coun ty and also to the sweet singer of San ta Cruz, and It will certainly be no fault of theirs if Miss Briody does not head the list of winners in the first series of the contest. Miss Briody has been making a thorough canvass of "Watsonville, starting in her work by securing the hearty support of the Mayor, W. A. Trafton, and George Sill, the fruit buyer, who are always to the front In anything pertaining to the ad vancement of Santa Cruz County. In | fact, Jill the county officials are taking lan active Interest In The Call's gofiS contest, and The Call, which has the largest circulation of any San Fran cisco paper^n the Pajara Valley. Is adding many new subscribers to its list In the section. There Is as much Inter est being taken in Miss Briody's cam paign as there was in the recent State election. Miss Briody Is to be con gratulated on having the support of such a thriving and. Industrious com munity as Watsonville.

JANUARY 12, 1907; PONTIFF DEPLORES AC T OF FRANCE Declares War on Church Was Against^Christianity and All Spiritual Ideas PROMISES A VICTORY ROME, Jan. 11. — The Osservatore Romano, organ of the Vatican, pub lished today the text of an encyclical addressed by the Pope to "Our vener able brothers, the cardinals, bishops and clergy and tho French people." In this document the pontiff said his chief object In addressing the faithful in France was to comfort them in their sufferings, which he felt deeply. There was, however, great consolation in the fact that the Catholics of France were .united. The French Government's declaration of war was *• not only against the Christian faith but against all spir itual ideas, the Pope continued. The French Catholics must be prepared for all sorts of trials, but they were cer tain of final victory. Contrary to statements on the subject, the church did not desire a religious war. Involv ing violent. persecutions. Being a mis sionary of peace and carrying out her mission loyally, the church— did not willingly expose herself to war and persecutions, as she did not desire to see her children suffering. Regarding the ecclesiastical property, the encycli cal said the Pope had not abandoned them. The French Government had imposed on French Catholics an or ganization which the church was abso lutely unable to accept without imper iling her existence as a divine institu tion. The church could not prevent the unjust spoliation in progress. As for the proposed cultural associations, they were contrary to tho ecclesiasti cal hierarchy given to the church by the divine founder himself, /and the Pope condemned them In spite of the material injuries involved at the hands of the Government. REPROACH IS U>\IUST Besides, the law conferred on these associations attributes regarding both the exercise of worship and possession and administration of church property which appertained alone to ecclesiasti cal authority, the pontiff declared. Finally, the associations were not only withdrawn from ecclesiastical Jurisdic tion but were placed under civil au thority. Continuing, the Pope said: We haTe been accused of prejudice and in consistency. It has be*n Baid that we refuted to approve In France what we had already ap prored In Germany. Bat this reproach Is unjust and unfounded, Xor while the German law is, condemnable on many points and was officially accepted in order to avoid greater evils, the situations are very different. The German law explicitly recopnUtes the Catholic hierarchy, i which the French does not. A« to the annual declaration required for public worship, it did not oiler the legal guar anty that the church had the ripht to expect. Nevertheless, to obviate worse evils, the church might hare tolerated making declarations, but laying down that the clergy shall be only occu pants of the churches without any legal status and without the right to perform any admin istrative act in the exercise of their ministry, placed them in euch a vapue and humiliating po sition that the making of declaration* could not be accepted. It remains to examine the law recently voted by the Chamber*. From the point of vVw of church property, the law is a law of spoliation and confiscation and has consummated the pil lage of the church. Although her divine founder was born In a \u25a0table and died poor on tbe cross, and, although she knows poverty from the cradle, the prop erty she was possessed of nevertheless belonged to her and no one had the rlgnt to deprive her of It. This ownership. Indisputably possible from every point of view, had been officially sanction- , ed by the state. DECISIOV OF FRANCE Tbe statement that the Government disposed ! of the "abandoned" property of the church is adding derision to spoliation. From the point of view of the exercise of re ligion the new law has organized anarchy. It installs a regime of uncertainty and arbitrari ness. There is uncertainty as to whether the churches, which are always liable to disaffection, shall or shall not in the meanwhile* be at the disposal of the clergy and faithful. In each parigb the priest will be in tbe power of the municipality, with the consequent possibility of conflicts in all parts of the country. In addi tion, tie clergy are under an obligation to meet tbe heaviest expenses, while their sources of revenue are subjected to the strictest limitations. The new Jaw aggravates the law rcparatlng church and state. We can only condemn It with precision and without ambiguity. Certain articles of the law throw new light on tbe real aim of our enemies. They wlpb to destroy the church and de-Christianize France without at tracting too closely the attention of the people. If their course was really popular, as they pretend It is, they would pursue it openly acd taJce all the responsibility. Instead of against the rising tide of popular reprobation tbe Government attempt* to throw the responsibility on the church, its victims, but the object will not succeed. As for us, we have done our duty as any other Roman pontiff would have done. The high of fice with which heaven invested us. as well as our faith in Christ, determined our line of con duct, and we could not have acted otherwise without betraying our oonwience or breaking tbe oath we took wben we mounted tbe throne of St. Peter. Therefore we await earnestly the verdict of history, which must be that, with our eyex fixed unceasingly on .the transeendant rights of God. we did not intend to humiliate the civil power nor combat a form of Government, but only to safeguard the spiritual temple of Christ. COXDITIOX OF PEACE All we demanded and demand for the church, of which France Is the eldest daughter. Id re spect for her hierarchy, the inviolability of her property and liberty. If that had been granted the religious peace would not have been dis turbed; and the day our demand Is heeded tbe longed-for peace will be restored. Assnred in advance of your mainianlmous gen erosity, we did not hesitate to tell you that tbe hour of sacrifice bad struck and to recall to tbv world In tbe name of the master of all things that man here below must have a goal above, the perishable things of earth and that God honored, served and loved is the fount of all supreme Joy. \u25a0 • The encyclical concludes as follows: In full confidence that. tbe Virgin Immaculate, daughter of our Father, - motbpr of the word, upoose of tbe Holy Ghost, will obtain for you from tbe most holy and adorable trinity better days, from tbe bottom of our heart we .. give you, venerable brothers, and the whole people, our apostolic benediction. VALLEY LOWLANDS LIKE A SEA PACIFIC GROVE. Jan. 11.— Floods In the lowlands of the Salinas Valley last night cut off aIT railroad commu nication between Monterey and Pacific Grove. San Francisco passengers were landed In Salinas* City. There was a tremendous rush of water from Arroyo. Seco and the upper Salinas, which has flooded thousands of acres on Moro Cojo and other ranches, forming huge la goons of . the beet and potato fields and drowning cattle. Five Chinese who were trying to.es cape In a 1a 1 boat were ; capsized tin v an eddy and -were found later Clinging itO the willows.- whence tliey were rescued by Thomas Doud and his vaaueros, who threw their lariats over them and hauled them ashore.

The sale'of. 1,300,000 shares on the preceding day and, the^ rush with which the business of* the ; brokers started In yesterday morning, with a promise of sales of , another 1,000,000 shares before the closing, , furnished stimulus- sufficient to keep Interest on edge. As on two or three preceding days, the curb sales after the board meeting were attended by many; People who had stocks In their hands on which they could clear -up a profit sold their holdlrigs largely and made their gains, but the market felt the effect and this was enough to give It a backward tendency.

It lies on the east slope 'of Death Val ley, and at the summit are^" located the claims- of the Furnace "Creek Copper Company, l controlled by Senator Clark of Montana. At a depth;bf 250 feet In the v main working -shaft of this prop erty a thirty-foot ore' vein < running better than 12 per cent copper was re cently cut. The I Greenwater and Death Valley Copper Company, controlled by C. M.

Atownslte.has been laid out at "Wil low C^eek, seven miles south" of here, adjoining the . copper claims . being worked by T. L.'Oddle of Tonopah and a group .of Pennsylvania capitalists. The townslte Is owned by John Donald son, Frank Phelan and C. E. Matison. The '.-'latest 'strikes of importance in the district are being made 'in the eastern section. On the property be ing worked by Charles E. Knox, the president of the \u25a0 Montana. Tonopah, one of the most promising ledges of the district has been uncovered. At a depth of about thirty feet, it is claim ed, the vein shows twelve feet of 14 per cent copper. This property is ten miles east of Clark's. Farther on east, about eight miles from the Knox strike, John S. Hill is developing a group of 150 claims, one of the largest holdings in the district. As yet very little .work has been done, but the surface indica tions are not surpassed in this entire copper district. ;' Six miles east of the Hill property at Millers Spring, in what is known as the Black Butte section, recent devel opments on the property .of the Pitts burg Greenwater Copper Company has exposed the continuation along the sur face for 4500 feet of -a quartz ledge which runs, from 4 to 15 per* cent copper. , i - For a distance of . thirty-five miles, and varying in width from seven to two miles, prospectors are rapidly opening, up a copper belt which will soon become one of the most produc tive camps on record. . The ' recent consolidation of the big companies will assure the erection of a smelter, and it is stated that already plans to that effect are being consid ered. The towns of Greenwater and Ramsey have consolidated and every thing: looks 'favorable for the building of a prosperous camp.— Greenwater Correspondence of Goldfleld Tribune.

Br Mall 35 Cent*. Address, The World. Pnlltiep Bldj-.. Jew Torfc, { MAY ORDER SALE OF S. P. STOCK XEAV YORK. Jan. 11.— It Is generally believed in Trell-informed . quarters that one of the results of tin* investiga tion, of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific by the ( Interstate Commerce Commission and Its attorney* "ill be an order from the commission com manding: the Union Pacific to well Its Southern Pacific stock. In fact, it Is possible the Union Pa cific will be' ordered by the commis sion to sell its Atchison. St. Paul.CTxi cago and Northwestern and. perhaps, even Chicago and Alton stocks in ad dition to j Its Southern Pacific stock. This would have no material effect upon the Union Pacific policy. The Union Pacific ownership of these stocks Is chiefly of an Investment na ture and will be a small matter, as it could invest In other securities. Aside from these two •: issues the chances are that the Interstate Com merce Commission will recommend! fur ther legislation governing railroad corporations, probably attempting to define the ; scope of their financial ope rations and the- power which may be vested" In any one official. If the com mission orders the Union Pacific to sell its Southern Pacific stock tlfer^e is little doubt that the order will be contested to the last ditch by Harriman, just as the Northern Securities case was con tested in the courts for several years. If, in the end, the Union Pacific were obliged to sell its Southern Pacific stock, there is no doubt that it would be purchased by Union Pacific interests individually, who would continue to hold It just as the Northern Securities people hold both Northern Pacific and Great Northern stock., 'By that time,* however, the Harriman plan for segregating Union Pacific. In vestments from the railroad plant proper may "crystallize, and this of it self would obviate the entire difficulty. "We sell at these prices to compel Introduction of our "quality gro-- cerles."
