the efforts OF our commissioners
The Worlds Industrial Fur Of 1884 Is
being reorgnnized under the title OF the
American Exposition, or the North, Cen
irai md south American Exposition,
and viii DO held from November 10. 1885,,
nni1i the Dist Ut March, 1885. Ia this
renewed arrangement the board Of man
agelnent did Idaho tho honor ofelecting
Y
L. Shonp, perhaps the most home hon
cred gentleman IN our Territory, the
second vice. president. TO have elected
o gentlemen from 80 new and spnrseIy u
position IN I'm exposition which is not
only national but almost world wide
IN its influence und interests, Is mark
of consideration toward MS nnd esteem Of
our worthy fellow citizens that We could
harily have looked Tor. But onr Terri
torinl pride is more tlian ever satisfied
wlitn We reflect that this deep mark OF
respectful esteem has been but II natural
repopse to the very excellent exhibit
Tint Idaho made ia New Orenns last
wiiiter, nnd to the able manner it WIS
presided over by Col. shoup. He has by
his pnst acts Won Tor Id,ho unprece-
denied honors aud renown, aud mani-
tested d personal spirit Of disinterested
patriotism and skill not SUR assed, II
eqlmled, in all our great American
exhibits; and we are more thnli rejoiced
TO ace these exhibits aud personal worth
appreciated Ia Il prucitul manner. But
the Colonel's duties IN other flelds COM
PEELED him = to decline the honor aud
important trust He hus been appointed
TO tho duties OF commissioner from
Idaho In the American dihpluy ut the
Worlds Fair III London III 1885, and 1t is
important thnt some Of his tine from
nov on should be devoted to the inter
esis i'll that field. The London exhibit
Is expected to surpass everything the
world has before presented. But it
may be questionable whether it will,
Ia practical importance, especially to
America, surpnss the Orleans. The
Colunel's deelination of further honors
IN our gseitt Southern Expositions was
coupled with his ever warm hearted
assurance that they will have all his
earnest aud hearty support, and that he
"Wili continue TO assist whenever and
wherever he can" He has resigned his
commission for Idaho ut New Orleans,
and A. J. Macnab, esq, has been
appointed, by the Governor. to those
duties and honors We bespeak for Mr..
Maonub that the same flow OF courtesies
and kind assistance may be extended
him in his efforts that have been shown
to Col Shoup, and, ut the same time,
We tire Pleased to be uble to assure our
readers that he has proven his skill and
devotion to the work of what is now
his own position. A very able and
experienced man having been now
appointed ut the head Of the expo
kition Of the Soath for the COM
ing winter, and his having the
assurance Of Col. Shoups aid. having
the greater part OF last years exhibit as
nue. Gus around on which he can build
all may be assured TINT MIR. Macnab
will there present to the world Il dis
play in which every citizen of ldhao will
take an honest pride. 1t isexpeoted. by
competent judges, that the coming win
teis show ~ill be even more magnih-
eent tLan that ot the lust.
