The Columbian Exhibit,

Suggestions regarding the Worlds
Fair exhibit are still being made. Since
the appointment of the new board of
executive managers, the work has been
entered into with renewed zeal and
earnestness. The thread of labor which
was dropped by the old board bas been
taken up by the new, and the prospect
of a creditable exhibit is good.
And the exhibit should be a good one.
1t should properly set forth the adj
v%antages, natural and artificial, of the
state by which it is made. The state
will be judged by those who attend the
Fair, from the size and quality of it's
exhibit. And if it is wished to attract
attention to a state, it is necessary that
the exhibit be such as to attract atten-
ton. Especially is this necessary in the
new states. Now is the first time that
North Dakota has been given the oppor-
tunity of disseminating a knowledge of
her resources and advantages. The
citizens of the state shall, by the vlgor
of their personal efforts, determine the
advertisement which North Dakota is
to receive. For, while it is necessary to
have a board of managers to superintend
the preparation of the state exhibit, it is
impossible for them to do every thing in
connection Herewith. They must be
aided by the citizens, and upon the
people of North Dakota depends, in a
great measure, the success of the ex-
hibit.
Manager Dickey in the Grand Forks
Herald says that one fact must be
demonstrated at Chicago, and that is
that North Dakota is a good place to
live, and men of families are wanted
here. A good plan of exhibiting photo
graphs of farm houses-get them taken
by local artists and enlarged.
Show the people Of the United States at
large the general condition of prosperity.
Show them representations of large
farms Of waving wheat fields, Of extern
sive stock ranches. Go further and
show them our milling interests, our
coal interests and our wool interests, and
thus demonstrate to them that North
Dakota is worthy of comparison with
her sisters of the union. Superintend-
ent Clemmer writes from Cincinnati to
the editor of the Herald, as follows:
1 visited the space allotted to North Da-
kota and found q charming spot in a fine
grove, with Kansas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Arkansas and Florida as our neigh
bors. 1t is q m istake toimagine that we
cannot erect a suitable building with our
appropriation; Many states will expend
gan will erect q $4,000 building with a
state appropriation of only $4,000, the
different cities Of the state having agreed
to finish and furnish particular rooms.
Could not the cities and counties of North
Dakota supplement- our appropriation If
necessary, and thus secure headquarters?
We must be represented. The coming
in history in the matter Of lighting; LOO
horse power of electricity will be pro-
vided, ten times that provided for the
Paris Exposition of 1889. A display that
is to cost $22, OOO, 900, one that will have q
total exhibition area under roof of 1899
acres. will be visited by millions. North
Dakota cannot afford to be unrepresented.
