the following: There is no use wasting

gift."- Now, the man who talks like this
evidently has never, for single
moment, considered from . business
point of view the value of q good
mine. or whether the property he

10 cover one size of one OF the large store
rooms in the New York block. Mr.. Hest
wood takes great pleasure in explaining
the different subjects and the position
they will occupy in the great log building
at Chicago. One Of tho most attractive is
that of Bellingham bay, with Fairhaven
in the distance, and Mount Baker and the
Selkirks beyond. The artist has made it
slightly more aggressive than the rest. and
the sky. mountain and water effects are
indescribably grand.
Among the waterfalls. that Of Eagle
Falls, along the Great Northern railroad,
is, perhaps. the most striking; however,
the Cannon. Lilliwaup and Molybdenum
falls are exceedingly attractive and must
be seen to be appreciated. Mr.. Hestwood
said he would keep the paintings on ex-
hibition for day or two to give all an OPP
portunity who desire to see them.
