lhreo railroad train houses, side by
ide. surrounded on all the four sides
Nv q fifty foot gallery. The trusses
RE TO be built separately, and so that
hey can be taken down and sold for
Sc az railroad train houses, and IL Is

FREE FREIGHT.
I All previously noted concessions on
freight carfying 10 the World Fair
are distanced by the concession just
obtained by the North Dakota com
missioners from the Northern Pacific
which aas agreed 10 carry free OF cost
the official State exhibit OF North
Dakota. The Missouri commissioners
have made a similar arrangement with
hMissouIi road. President Fulda of
Me Missouri, Kansas aud Texas rail-
pad said his road will forward free
NE exhibits OF any State through
which its lines passed. II have no
Doubt said Traffic Manager Jaycox,
'that all the roads OF the
South and West will make
mis- concession since IL is greatly 20
thelr interest TO do SO. IL Is work for
he State associations to do. and they
viii doubtless go over the field thor
mghly. President Fulda OF the Mis-
puri, Kansas q Texas said he felt sure
he Southern Pacific and other big
(. &nthwest lines only waited 10 be ask
uto fall into line. The Western and
kuthern States as rule have little or
b manufacturing interests, and will
-leFcfore have few individual exhibits.
Consequently almost all the showing
nom these States will be that made by
lhe State governments Whenever a
Shte can get its goods shipped free 1T
means q larger and better exhibit If
We Northern Pacific agrees TO haul
North Dakota's exhibit free why not
4 $50 give the same liberal terms TO
minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Washing
nn, and Oregon. ] expect TO see two
\ thlrds Of the Southern, Western, and
northwestern States exhibits brought
fere freight free.
