the present plans.
From Weiser it is suggested a Hill
road may be built westward extending
to the Coast and opening up a vast
area of undeveloped territory. Such ac

Positively withdrawn after June 15.
It is up to you to get busy.
This is a limited offer and
collections.
Here we are again after an absence
of one issue with the count and find
almost 400,000 votes have been cast
There has been no change in places but
some of those who have been in the
lead have had their majorities reduced
until now they are in the lead by a
small margin.
Take for instance the first district
there is less than three thoussnd votes
difference between the three leading
candidates. In the second district the
voting has been heavy and the candi
dates in that district have almost
reached the forty thousand mark.
In the third district the Salmon
river section, Mrs. Freeman still leads
but her majority lias been cut down
from six thousand to four and the light
continues close. .
The fourth or Grangeville district
shows very little difference in the
standing of the candidates. There is
plenty of room for workers in Grange
ville and here is where 11 large amount
of back subscription can he collected.
The interest in a contest has never
been greater and every day we are in
terrogated as to what chance this girl
or that girl has. We hear that this
contestant will win out. or that will,
everybody is making a guess. No one
knows and no one will until after the
last votes have been cast after nine
o'clock on the evening of July seventh.
The rivalry between the contestants
lias ceased to be of a friendly nature
and the bitterness quite often hobs up.
From now on to and including
June 15, just in order to stimulate
collections and get it the large sums
of money due us 011 back subscription
we give 300 votes on every dollar paid
in. This is for back subscription and
this otter will not be good after that
date. We need the money, you need
the voses. Get after those in arrear.
This is your chance and do not come
in with back subscription money after
that date and ask us to give you 300
votes per dollar. Here is a chance to
do some effective work.
There is every indication that many
of the contestants are holding hack a
great deal of back money received 011
back subscriptions and while this is
not contrary to the rules of the contest
it should be remembered that 300
votes on every dollar which we are
now giving is a special öfter and will
be withdrawn after June 15.
Keep in Mind
That the Free Press actually prints
more news than any other paper in the
county.
That the contest closes July 7.
