cally, but wnen it comes to a matter of
Seattle's supremacy in a commercial
way, cliques, politics and religion are
forgotten ior the time being. This might
serve as a profitable pointer, for Oregon
Ojty.

heightened by the introduction of a very
talented child, little Nessel Lewis, who,
if she realizes in maturity the promises
of her infancy, bids fair to be one of the
greatest emotional actresses of the age
