Stirred TO n realization Of tire
mendous responsibilities that will
rest upon the members OF the Port
OF Seattle Commission. in the event
OF It's creation at the coming cleo
ton, residents OF the north end OF
the city are giving serious consid-
Grafton 10 the election, rs evidenc-
cd by the fact that they already
have established a campaign organ
ization and have united upon a
candidate. Their choice is Edward
T. verd. treasurer OF the Bryant
Lumber 4 Single Co. Mr.. verd Is
an old-timer. having been a resi-
dent Of Seattle twenty years. and al.
ways has been n consistent worker
for city and county development.
He bears a splendid reputation for
ability and integrity.
The port election matter received
consideration In a meeting Of the
North End Improvement club sew
eral weeks ago. Investigation OF
tho proposition showed that the
commission will have the spending
of an annual tax levy of about
$500. 900. and possibly a bond issue
OF $4,000. 900. This convinced the
club that the selection OF the north
commission Districts member Of
the commission was a most impor-
tant matter, and therefore the Sc
lection OF candidate was taken
up as club business. Mr.. Verd was
suggested and finally was selected
as first choice OF the club. One
hundred and fifty members signed
a request asking him to accept the
nomination, and upon this request
he has allowed his name to be filed.
The club, In resolutions being cir
culated as an appeal to voters,
makes the following statement:
"One hundred and fifty OF his
neighbors OF the Fremont district.
who have induced Mr.. Verd to be.
come a candidate from the third
commissioner district, respectfully
ask for him the support OF all the
voters OF King county ut the com
Ing port election. Since, II ia i'm
possible TO foretell whether the
election to create the commission
will carry or not, II IL urged that
you vote for Mr. Verd whether you
vote for the creation OF the com
mission or against II. 80 that the
election OF the right man will be
assured In the event the cleo
ton TO create the commission shall
carry"

worthy OF the highest favor and thous.
Iands Of dollars in the same EFFORT.
What Mr. Cullen has done Is to take
all the able players from the original
New York, Chicago and Boston com :
parties. Then he has had complete
new scenic production built at his New
York studios and workrooms, on the
same splendid scale as the original
with much new decorative features as
experience might have suggested. To
this investment Of many thousand dol
lars must be added almost as much
more for the complete new set OF
costumes. These have been made by
the leading milliners and costumers OF
Paris and represent the very latest
modes.
1t would have been quite possible TO
have merely repaired and reprinted the
scenery and to have patched up the
original costumes and other accessor-
les; but Mr.. Cullen preferred to get rid
of the worn things, and to start ms
organization absolutely fresh. 1t may
be said also that in no wise is the
quality or number of Interpreters les
sened. In many instances the original
players are engaged. and where that
was impossible. as good or better stand-
ards have been secured. The engage
ment Of 1.-THE Burgomaster" Is Tuesday
