AdvertIslne the state.

At the annual meeting of the State Board
of Trade on the 10th of September last 1t was
voted that committee of five be appointed
to urge upon the legislature the expedience
of making some appropriation for the pur-
pose of advertising by the most 1udicious
methods the resources, advantages AMI AT
fractions Of the State of Maine.
The following committee was appointed:
Hon. Henry Lord, Bangor M. N. Rich,
Lewis A. Cloudy, Portland; Z. w. Blanding
of Bangor; w. w. Stetson Of Auburn and
Capt. William Rogers of Bath.
The committee had a meeting at Augusta
on Thursday. Mr.. Bixby, chairman Of COM
missions to the Worlds Fair had confer
ence with the committee and suggested
that much of the work of the commissioners
would be in the line Of advertising the state
to the best possible advantage. and that the
commissioners desired the advice and CO.
operation of the State Board of Trade In
their work, especially In that particular
branch which should be commenced at once.
At least preliminary steps should be taken to
prepare creditable illustrations and works
of art on Maine scenery, ETC., as well as
statistical work.
Mr.. Bixby's views were in accord with the
committee and 1t was agreed between the
committee and Commissioner Bixby that the
State Board would cooperate in obtaining
the appropriation Of $40, 900 asked for and
in judicious expenditure of the same for
the best advantage of the state If desired.
This would seem to be carrying out the
spirit and intent of the State Board of Trade
and at the same time rendering important
aid to the Worlds Fair commissioners.
The committee will hold another confer
ence probably next week, to settle upon a
plan of work.
