orful bunting, clever design and
attractive display. Every nook
and Granny of the mammoth Expo
,iton building has been thorough
y renovated and set for the show,
i'ons of greens and natural cut
flowers from all over the North

at the entrances, alng the walls,
and suspended from the ceiling.
A mile of exhibits! Three hun,
drcd and twenty-five booths, each

duct. Each year of the Northwest
Merchants Exposition has marked
rapid growth in both the scope
of it's displays and the number of
its exhibits. "The 1925 promises
to exceed anything in the way of
an Industrial Show ever staged
on the Pacific Coast" says AL
vim X. Matzger, general chairman
of the Exposition.
Attendance will surpass all
bounds" confirms Henry f. Gard
moor, chairman of Invitations.
Every days mail brings hundreds
of cards, from merchants all over
the Northwest who are planning
to attend the Exposition and are
sending in their reservations. y
And besides the visiting merchants
themselves, there will be thousands
of business and professional men,
tourists, folks of all kinds, who
will travel to Seattle to see the an
mal Industrial spectacle.
''The Exposition has a definite
purpose, Mr.. Matzger states.
Primarily the object of the Elk,
position is to foster better trade
relations between manufacturers,
wholesalers, jobbers and the re
tail trade, and a fuller apprecia-
tion on the part of the public of
market possibilities. And the
past success of the Exposition tes-
titles to its success in broadcasting
the Industrial message of the Pa.
cific Northwest.

The December 81 st. Nicholas

presents was Blackstone, the magi.
clan who is appearing this week at
the Washington Auditorium. He
Joined the Good Fellow movement
on Monday and yesterday he paid
a visit to the family assigned to
him by the Good Fellow editor.
A widow and four little children
were the beneficiaries of his desire
to play the role OF Good Fellow,
The mother has Deer Ill Tor more
than q month and only recently
able TO leave her ned. The oldest
OF the children, boy Of ~ has
been the main support Of the family
for the past two months. He has
been getting up at 8 a.. m. to deliver
q newspaper route, attending school
and selling papers In the evening,
and in his otherwise spare moments
working as a delivery boy for a
butcher. His meagre earnings have
kept the little family together. al
though they have been able to lay
nothing aside for the celebration
Of Christmas.
Blackstone made the little chill
dren happy with his delivery of
toys and presents and entertained
the family with an improfnptu exhi-
bition of his magic, during which
he pulled out a real live bunny
from One of the Christmas presents.
Mrs. Blackstone, who accompanied
the magician on his Christmas joy

are provided with warm, comfort

is well stocked for yuIetide appe.

THAT little visit yesterday made
Christmas a real JOY to me-" said
Mr.. Blackstone after his Good
Fellow mission. IF all the readers
Of The Washington Times could
realize the real kick that comes
out of doing work Of this kind. I
am sure that the list of Good
Fellows would be much larger than
the families to be cared for. Again
let me thank The Washington Times
for the privilege Of doing my bit
in this noble and brotherly love

Hopes of a quick ending of the

burned feebly today.
There was little prospect that
the operators and miners would
gather in joint meeting here at

likely late yesterday. But when
il seemed that, after all, the meet

The action of the operators came
as a distinct surprise, most of all
to the committee of mayors and

which had been engaged for days
to bring both sides together.

he would consider as a basis for
negotiating would be the Pinchot

The operators had shown marked
proposal of Gov. Clifford Pinchot, a
proposal which the miners had ac-

1t had seemed that Lewis would
not enter into a conference at
Scranton this afternoon unless the
Pinchot plan was the basis for dis
