The report Of the committee was nc
copied.
Yerkes presented "a resolution empow-
ering the president to enter into a writ
ten contract with Architects Galbraith
& Fuller as to their superintcndency Of
the construction of the Montana state
building and when they shall bo paid
!, for same. With some notifications it
was adopted. An estimate OF what it
would cost Montana to make a suitable
display at the fair. including building
, and everything, was presented but nc
} action taken upon it. The total wal
considerably above the amount that has
been appropriated by the state FOL
worlds fair purposes, but as it was {
conservative @ innate it will go a long
] way in inducing the legislature to in
crease the original appropriation.
- Bickford asked and was granted author
t ity to purchase 800 glass jars in which tt
: display different exhibits of the products
of the state, such as fruits, seeds, etc.
also mineral bearing rock in a granulated
shape. Tho word Montana viii

c the exhibits came. lie also STATED
y that he had recently received a Letter
from w. S. Buchanan of the depart
ment of agricultural exhibits stating
IS that Idaho, Colorado and CalifOrni;
n were to make an exhibition of tbs pro
2 cess of irrigation and If Montana wished
Z to cooperate with those states. ii,
e had also received a letter from the secrc
IT tary of the California board saying tina
the Golden state would play "A lone han'
is so to speak, in the matter, not caring I
"A join with any other state. DIR. Mitchell
Y thought that Montana's appropriate
u would not warrant an expenditure j
n the irrigation line, and as California
a rich state and planning to make tn
Y display, he advised the board to leaS
II the irrigation exhibition to that stat
After a discussion AS to the cheapest an
best method to be adopted in maxim
IF such an exhibit, the whole matter W;
referred to the executive commissions
ii TO take such action as he might thin
tc best hv and with the consent of the q,
ccutivc committee.
Hays moved that the thanks of til
'. board he extended to Paris Gibson. II.
