McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1885-01-29


brings splendid display of her natural
productions. Although, Montana is
noted for growing cutie and sheep, her
principal interests are mining, and the
display of ores is superb and attracts
universal attention. The arranging of
this exhibit was done by John Nye, an
old pioneer of the mining country, who
knows rock where he sees or handles it.
Some ornaments Of Indian orr gin attract
much attention In this display there
are some fine texidermy specimen shown.
South Carolina, with A. p. Butler as
commissioner, has gotten up its exhibits
in good shape. The guano manufact-
DRY of Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., who show
a pyramid some twenty feet from the
base constructed of phosphate rock, is
an enterprise that has done much to en-
rich Charleston. The agricultural pro-
auctions and fruit displayed, keeps the
little Carolina to the front in this line.
Though it does not claim to be an ex-
tensive manufacturing state, it has some
very creditable displays of home produc-
tions. In cotton it produces fine sta
pie, notably the Sea Island, which always
commands good price. Specimens
are on exhibition.
Many of the relics Of the Greedy re-
lief party have been placed on exhibition
in the State department. Dummies are
dressed up in clothing worn by the men,
and the old tent they used is erected,
while the entire camping outfit is on
view. The small boats from the Thetis
and Bear, which first reached the Greedy
sufferers have been placed with these
much, viewed curiosities. 1t is hard to
realize in land where snow is unknown
what suffering and death the Greedy Re
lief exhibit represents.
On Sundays the Exhibition is large
ly attended, the entrance fee being then
reduced to 25 cents. On a fine day there
are liable to be fifty thousand present.
There is everything to see as on any
weekday, except the working of the ma
chinery, which is always shut down on
Saturday night till Monday morning.
The Commissioners and members of
the press are unanimous in urging their
respective legislatures to make extra APP
preparations to carry out the successful
exhibit of each state and territory The
necessity for money is evident to keep
the exhibit up to its present standing as
many articles are perishable. consequent
ly the pride one has in his state or ter
ritory should encourage each and all to
advocate the contribution.
When you take into consideration the
fact that the different buildings cover
90 acres, or one third more than the Cen
tennial and that the Park in VIII oh they
are located and which is now enclosed
composes about 500 acres. You can see
how hard it is to estimate the daily at
tendance, and the management refuse to
make public the daily receipts, for what
reason your correspondent is unable to
state.
At first it was feared that the means
of transportation between the grounds
and Canal street. the centre of the city,
would no: be adequate to accommodate
the public, but so far no inconvenience
has been experienced. By certain lines
you can go the whole distance for one
fare-5 cents-while by other lines it
costs two fares-or you can buy round
trip ticket over the different ''Rapid
transit lines on the river for ID cents,
and extra boats ana cars wIil be added
as the travel demands.
