trait painter, commissioned by the

nounced an especially fine likeness Of

Rawson studio Offering suggestions
and making criticisms.

him that = portrait be financed by
popular subscriptions. This idea was
abandoned after the matter was
taken up with the Sorlie family.
Those interested In collecting the
funds for this purpose have been re-
quested by Mrs. Sorlie to return same
to the donors. At the same time, she
expressed her deep gratitude to those
who had so kindly Initiated the move
ment and made contributions.
The posture, coloring and the many
details Of the portrait have been most
effectively handled by Mr.. Rawson.
He has caught and transferred to the
canvas many Of the outstanding
characteristics Of Gov. sorlie.
Mr.. Rawson Is an artist Of note.
He has executed many portraits Of
leading men. Among the best known
are those Of President Emeritus Fol.
well of the University Of Minnesota.

apolis Tribune but Tor the past few
years has devoted his time solely to
portraits and landscapes.
