several states and territories composing
this great union, will be invited to par

pendent of those provided by national
legislation, and made necessary appro-
priations for the display of their eXhib-

proper for the interests of North
Dakota.
That our most sanguine anticipations
for continued prosperity have not al
ways been fully realized, there is no de-
nying; yet We are far from being in a
state of destitution. Our soil is fertile,
u climate in~vigorating, Jul people in

brightness upon the prairies of North
Dakota as upon any portion of the uni
verse; and it is our duty to nurture and
to be grateful for these suspicious con-
ditions.
Let us throw open our gateways to the
sturdy h~usbandman and the promoter
Of Enterprises and demonstrate to the

You, gentlemen, do not resemble the

sincere desire that this session Of your
honorable body may be fruitful in bene-

and that our relations may be of the
most cordial and harmonious nature.
