| From above rough draft of ideas we believe
that the best exhibit of the lumber products Oh

naturally in such exhibit cover every product OF

idea being that ii every mill IL permitted 10 make

We would further say that additionally to the

expected TO be donated by the lumber fraternity,
the mill furnishing same TO receive an equitable

Mr.. Grimes proposed that they proceed at once
to adop. the plans for the building and then
they could arrange matters with the lumber
mems committee, but p c. Kaufman called
attention to the fact that the plans adopted
must first be submitted to the board OF architects
at Chicago
Senator Henry Drum said that from the outset
there had been strong opposition at Chicago 10
separate exhibits-they did not want any slde-
shows. The United States commission had
decided that all exhibits must go into the gen.
eral exhibit OF their class. He suggested that IL
might be a question whether they would be
justified in erecting state building unless 10
show building material
Mr. Meany said: The state had been
invited to 20 into general exhibits as
well as make Il separate exhibit, thus
implying that state exhibit would be allowed.
Dr.. Blaoek had received a letter from Director
General Davis laying down rules for separate
state exhibits, which were that they were not
TO include manufactured articles, nor TO be en-
tered in competition for general prizes: nor
should any motive power be put in the build
ing.
