The minute some other sound city is found to have better advan tages, he will desert Seattie—and there is nothing that will prevent him, But cheer up, he can’t find another Seattle, Just ask your neigh- bor where the union depot is that Mr, Hill first promised to put into Seattle's stogking seven or steht years ago. —_————- an@ every good vitis = } LOSE mOoT THE E- | Nothing is more truly pitiful than S SPIRIT the common attempt to combine suheurinantndiinmgidin: economy with Christmas-«iving by making only such gifts ag are useful.
