How will the greatest mining state in the
union be represented at the Worlds fair at
Chicago in 1898? Gov. 1oole some time
ago appointed the state commission, con-
sisting of sixteen members, one for each
county of the state. Under the act passed
at the last session of the legislature this
commission is to meet at such times as the
governor may designate. II is also author
lied to choose ar executive commissioner
who is to take personal charge of the gath
ering of material to make an exhibit of the
resources and products of the state. In
connection with the commission will be the
board of lady managers of the Worlds fair
from Montana and the Worlds Columbian
commissioners at large. Notice has been
received at the governors office of the ap.
p~ortionment Of a site for the erection of a
building for the Montana exhibit. Com
missioner L. II. Hershfield left a short time
ago for Chicago to look after the interests
of the state in the coming exposition,
but will not return for several
the sixteen commissioners of the state are
gathering information and soliciting OK
hibits from their respective counties. In
this connection the suggestions of a resi-
dent OF this city are timely. He says:
Notwithstanding tho valuable products of
Montana mines, our agricultural and graz
ing interests amount to many millions Of
dollars each year, and every season aug
ments the value of these industries. In
California the mines decreased in value
while pastoral industries constantly in
creased in value. The outlook for Mon
tana in these lines %brightens as each years
results are known In the coming Chicago
fair Montana ought to be we'll represented
and great care taken to exhibit her pastoral
resources, both the cultivated products and
the native plants. The time for this is
growing very short, and what is done must
be quickly done. There should, for in
stance, be an exhibit of our native grasses
and timber. If this work is to be accom-
plished much of the preliminary work of
collection ought to be done this SUMNER
Extreme Cruelty.
