to cover at the coming session of the

dividual affair, and it may be said in
passing that Minnesota is the only state
in which such plan was successfully
carried through.

call your attention at this time to
Fact Most Potent
to each one of you. that every detail
connected with our state exhibit must
be pushed with vigor and determine
ton. While | am pleased to note that
good progress has been made thus far,
the magnitude Of the work yet to be ac-
complished forces itself upon my mind
to such an extent as to force me to call
into service all the latent force behind
this commission. Our state has met
with fair and just treatment, when
compared with the other common
wealths, in the assignment OF space.
The work on the worlds fair buildings
is progressing. Agricultural hall is now
completed and ready for the reception
of exhibits. Persons have been en-
gagged to draw plans for booth in this
building and for the mineral booth in
the same building.
1.-The following points that will be OF
general Interest have been decided
upon: The gates of the exposition
will be open at a. IN. to employees and
exhibitors, and at a. IN. to the general
public The price of admission to the
exposition has been placed at so cents;

counties in the state excepting the fol-
lowing have raised their apportlonment
of the fund of 100000: Carver, Otter
Tail, Wright, Fillmore, Stearns, Waba-
sha, III apportlonments.
I'm closing this report feel per
sonal pride i'll being able to present the
commission a result so satisfactory
from the efforts put forth in securing
from the liberal-hearted citizens of this
state a sum so near the aggregate
amount we set out for about one year
ago.
For Beauty'S Sake.
The matter of the characterization of
the state building and of the erection of
a state booth in the general building oc-
casoned considerable discussion. A
proposition was made to decorate the
booth III grains and grasses. the mate
rial for when purpose has already been
secured; but no conclusion was arrived
at. Architect Whitney was present,
and eyhibited the designs for OTDa-
mentation in the state building. Three

were exhibited. The first was con-
ventional design of wild roses; another
of lilies; third, heads of wheat and
ears of corn, and fourth pine cones.
