Reriew of Chicago, was in the Rainier hotel
with Mira. Windsor yesterday. Mr.. Windsor, who
WAS for some ten years a resident of Chicago,

among them. Consequently he has been very
successful with the Reuieu, which he started
somewhat over year ago. The publication is
editorially geographically, in circulation
and in advertising, at the head of the
clinical papers of its class. Mr.. Wind
sor, whose trip to the Pacific coast is purely for
pleasure, went to Tacoma yesterday, and from
there he goes to the Yellowstone park. He
spent the morning and good part of the after
noon in travelling over the railways of the city.
