THE AMERICAN DESERT"
The Wonderful Story Told by the Ex-
hibts of the Far West at New
Orleans.
Especial Telegram TO the Globe


New ORLEANS, Dec. 25.-If there exists
an American who does not believe that this
is big country, he should come to the New
Orleans exposition and take a
survey of the exhibits of the
several states and territories. and especially
of those which lie between the Mississippi
river and the Pacific ocean. They tell
most interesting and most marvellous story.
They tell of the wonderful aud varied re-
sources of a vast section of country which
but few years ago was pictured on the
maps as the ''great American desert" They
tell Of land which only yesterday, as II
were, was given over to desolation
and solitude, but which is now the
home of an active, restless, enterprising,
progressive population, swelling with pride
in the consciousness Of great triumphs
achieved over the antsgonistic forces OF ma
ture. and pressing forward with hope and
confidence to grandcr and more enduring
triumphs iu the future. The story oil the
new south is eclipsed in interest by the new
west as told by the dumb but eloquent wit
ness Of its greatness in the vast government

There is little that is new, or novel or
striking in the collection Of exhibits Of the
eastern, the middle and the older western
states. Their products and manufactures
are familiar to everybody, but everybody
doesn't KNOWN fact, very few people have
the faintest coneeption-of the wealth and
variety of the material re-
sources of the new west, and
the extraordinary progress which has been
made in developing and utilizing them.
Realizing this fact the big Drained, broad
guagcd, stout hearted men who have wiped
the great American desert off our maps aud
rendered 1t as mythical 10 the present gener-
alton as the strange countries of which Mako
Polo once told, wondering world, have
brought to New Orleans solid proofs Of its
disappearance aud substantial evidence OF
the birth Of great empire away toward the
setting sun. There is nothing conventions
about the collective exhibits made by the
territories and the new states Of the far west.
There is something breezy, audacious, re-
freshing about the displays. They more than
suggest, they actually express, the free, Wig
orous, untrammeled life of a bold and hardy
people, who, abandoning the beaten paths OF
civilization, have blazed the way through a
vast desert and unlock the golden secrets
which nature has kept concealed within her
bosom for upnumbered centuries.
