The 81 is genuine, and is "raised'' by
having the $40 cut out of Confederate

vada were at the hotel and gave the com-
mittee the benefit of their advice. As the
result of their deliberations, the committee
gave out this evening to the public a paper,
in which they call the attention of the
country to the object lesson which
is being exhibited in the des,
perate struggle Of great nanoia
institutions on both sides of the
atlantic to increase gold reserves to avoid
bankruptcy and ruin, and that any increase
by one necessarily diminishes the reserves
of others. Why should such a condition OF
things exist in a time OF profound peace
great banking institutions attribute stag
nation and hard times to the scarcity of
money, adhering to the gold standard.
when they admit that there is not
enough gold to maintain business and the
credit of the commercial world? For
eighteen years the basis of credit on a gold
standard has been extended and the produc-
sion of gold has fallen of, while the struc-
ture of credit has been growing ptopor--
tionately larger and more insecure until
the relation of credit to actual money was
disclosed in the Barings' failure on a gold
standard. England has alarmed the world
and started a new scramble for gold that

FRANCIS POPE, Secretary State Board of
Agriculture, Helena, Mont.-Dear Sir: At
ter several conferences between this de-
partment and Mr.. d. H. Burnham, chief of
construction, ! Am glad to advise you that
the general design for the Forestry build
ing, at the Worlds Columbian exposition,
has been agreed upon.
The building will be about 200 by 800 feet,
will occupy a commanding position over
looking the lake, and will DO designed to
illustrate in its construction and arrange
ment the forest wealth of the world.
A rustic character will be given the archi-
lecture, and it is believed that a beautiful
effect will be the result. A prominent fea-
ture of the building will be a wide COLON
made extending along the front facing the
lake, and across either end it has been
agreed to use for the supporting columns
of this collonnade trunks of trees repre-
senting the characteristic woods
of the different states and territories.
1t is believed hat this will not
only add to the general beauty of the strrc-
ture, but will create throughout the country
an interest in this building and furnish an
opportunity for the different states and
- thho IA bASiA "
ests, and add attractiveness and character
to the forestry exhibit.
These columns, or trunks of trees, must
be of the following size. twenty-five feet
long, not less than sixteen nor more than
twenty inches in diameter at the base and
taper gradually toward the top. Each of
these columns will have attached to it by
the exposition management q tablet on
which will be engraved the name of the
state or territory furnishing the column;
the name of the tree and an estimate (if
furnlshed) of the quantity of such timber
IN such state or territory.
l have assured the chief of construction
that there would be no difficulty in furnish
ing these columns, and be has accepted nv
assurance and designed the building to
ut ilize them.
In making this statement | did 80 in the
belief that each state and territory would
take pride In being thus represented in the
construction of the forestry building.
Kindly advise me if this meets with the
approval of your board, and whether or moi
you will furnish for this building three OF
these columns. They should be sent will
