In the matter. the convention visitors will
have an opportunity OF personally inspect
ing some of the products Of this state, to
be exhibited At the Worlds fair, when they
come here this summer. Executive Com
missioner Biokford, Of the board of Worlds
fair managers. is DESTROYS OF having Al
much Of the Montana exhibit ss possible
concentrated at one point for shipment to
Chicago. md on q recent visit here Presl-
dent Muth, of the board of trade, suggested
that If he would concentrate the exhibits a.
Helena it would be a great advertisement
for the state, as the thousands OF visitors
during the summer would have . better OPP
portunity to carefully inspect them than At
Chicago. Mr.. Bickford conceded with she
suggestion and immediately opsned = cor
rsspondeuco with General Agent Edgar, OF
Ahs Northern Pacific, with Il view to enlist
ING the cooperation of that company.
This has been secured, the Northern Ia
ci6c agreeing to bring to Helena, tree OF
charge, all exhibits intended for Chicago.
The Union Paciio and the Great Northern
have not yet signifed what they will 90,
but they will undoubtedly do as we'll as the
road that has taken the initiative.
II now remains for Helena to provide 9
place in which these exhibits can be properly
displayed. The exhibits Will consist not
only of those from mines, but will include
eyery line that il ID intended to use IN tho
Montana exhibit at the Worlds fair. Ap-
plication has been made BY . Board Of
Trade committee TO the city council for
nermission to use the new public library
building for the purpose. and the subject j.
nov in the hands OF the building committee
81 that body. The Worlds fair people are
dssirious Of an early decision on the sub
iect. SO the gentlemen now out collecting
exhibits can be notified to have those who
have exhibits ready to ship them to Helena.
By early action quite a display can be got
together by the time the A. Q. U. ".
supreme lodge assemblies. while. unless
early steps are taken, the show during the
first convention will be q meagrs one. In
Z number of counties in the state the
county commissioners have rented quarters
for the reception and storage Of exhibits
intended for the Worlds fair. TIL gentls-
men who are interested in the subject feel
assured a good display from all over the
state will do a world of good for all COR
cerned. -.@@# .#"&
