stoned by calling in Of temporary pas
SEES and the neglect and delay in issu-
ing permanent passes, besides the
cutting off Of several hundred. The
trouble began early in the season by
a few officials mis- management, who
made themselves too officious, incur
ring by their actions the illwill Of ex-
hibitors, while on one occasion Chief
Of Installation Mullin was asked to
resign, by resolution passed in pub
lie meeting, but afterwards rescinded,
after consultations with Director Gen
.eral Burke. In this instance both
Sam Mullen, and E. M. Hudson, of
the Board of management and Supt.
of Art Gallery, are the two most Wig
orously clicked.
Again, at the time referred to,
number of exhibitors who had not
been supplied with permanent passes
applied and were refused admittance
to the Fair. Some paid their way
into the grounds, but the majority felt
aggrieved at such treatment and fore
ed their entrance. After considera-
bic delay and consultation matters
were settled.

ment, though the exhibit has been
ahead in point OF readiness and is
equal to any in collection and display.

small grains flourish. And for fruit
section the artistic display in horti-
cultural hall will attest that Nebraska
is indeed the home of the apple.

trees in the state. The cereal pyra-

OREGON.
e. w. Allen and J. G. Swash, COM

plain are fine; while in minerals only

the Uaited States life saving service
will be represented by the latest inn
