Informal Talk About Progressed Exhibits ut
Chicago In so3.s
CHICAGO, June "a large number Of
Worlds fair commissioners, representing
various states, have arrived in Chicago and
tonight in all hotels Worlds fair matters
are being very generally discussed. Among
the most interesting conferences was one
between Joseph Hirst, of Tampa, Fla, and
A. $. Mercer, of Cheyenne, Wyo. Hirst had
much to do with the allotment of space at
the centennial and almost the entire charge
of the recent Piedmont exposition at At
lanta. In talking of the matter of site, Mr..
Hirst said:
''If we can be con vinced that the lake
front can be obtained legally and will re-
over, don't think thero will be dissent
ing voice. This: however, providing there
is room enough"
"There's the trouble" said Mercer. II
don't think We ought 10 open the doors
with less than one Thousand acres. just
look at the number Of states demanding
ten acres each. Some of them propose to
do wonderful things with that space. Utah
proposes to reproduce Salt Lake and the
country before and after irrigation, with
an exhibition of the irri9ating process.
Colorado will reproduce her mines and
build mineral palace. California will
make wonderful exhibits, and so on.''
"Well, if they really mean to occupy all
the space they ask for, the lake front will
certainly not be sufficient" said Mr.. Hirst,
and am utterly opposed to dividing the
exhibition"
The gentlemen also discussed the recent
sensational charges regarding the lake
front and Mr.. Hirst said: "You may rest
assured if there is any danger of that spot
being ruined for any purpose for which the
city may desire it the Commissioners will
not aid any such scheme.' -

the road is to be extended very soon from
Helena to the Pacific coast. The money,
100000, has been provided, and the
only delay in commencing work is in deter
mining which is the best of several surveyed
lines. This decided, the work is to COM
mence at once and much is to be accom-
plished in 1880. It is known there has been
for long time some kind of bond of sym
pathy between the Great Northern ond Bur-
lington. At present the Burlington com.
pany is building nearly one hundred
miles of new road in Wyoming,
toward the northwest. 1t will reach
the Big Horn mountains by November.
The truth is that the company has prospect
ing engineers at work in Montana looking
up lines and feasible routes, and it seems
quite probable, says we'll known railway
man, that bv the time the Great Northern
touches the Pacific the Burlington will
have touched the southern border of the
National Park and effected a junction at or
near Helena, and two new great Pacific
short-line routes will be opened to the
public.
