Apparently Minnesota had not made her
peace with the autocrat of the weather,
for when the states celebration was
ushered in this morning it found an ex-
ceedingly leaky day. A fog, and a very
English fog at that, was on duty long be-
fore the sun and Columbian .,uards had
arisen, and it attended strictly to busi-
ness all day. Disagreeably energetic

whisking skirts and ribbons and hats.

Nelson Introduced.
Mr.. D. A. Monfort, president of the
Minnesota board, introduced Gov. Nelson
in a very eloquent address, in which he
touched on the early history of the state
and the prominent part Minnesota has
taken in the exposition. In closing, he
said:
'"To the press of Minnesota this board
is deeply indebted for it's generous as
sistance and hearty cooperation in the
prosecution of our work. In conclusion
I will only add that when this great ex-
position, now nearing its close, shall
have become a thing of the past and
there only remains to write the history
and record of it's results, am certain
that it will afford to the people of Min:
nesota great satisfaction to feel that they
have been able to contribute In no in
significant degree to the success of an
undertaking which has celebrated the
4OOth anniversary of the discovery OF
this continent in a manner appropriate
to the importance of the event and COM
mensurate with the dignity or the great
American republic"
Gov. Nelson responded in a speech
full of entertaining statistics, happy
prophecies for the future, and covered
the entire range of material progress.
Following are some extracts from the
address:
On the 18th day of October, 1857, the
people of Minnesota adopted the constl-
tuition under which they became state
and a member of the Federal Union.
This day and event we here and now
commemorate on MinneSota's day at the
worlds greatest fair and exposition.
AS we look back over the vista of more
than q third of a century and note the
pare it's resources and status Of to-day
with that of early territorial days, we,
who have seen it, and still more, you
have lived it, are moved with great graft
tude for the past and filed with bound
less hope and assurance for the Future.
The statistics of the resources and possi-
bilities, the growth and progress of Min
nesota. read like a fairy tale.
In 1850 the population was only 6,O77;
in 1893 it is not less than !, 1,45O,OOO.
In 1860 the assessed value of the real
and personal property of the state was
but $35, ,753.40S in 1893 it is S637 ,459,
926. In 1860 there were 1881 farms
in the state, valued at $27, ,505, ,922; in
1892 there were 123, III farms. valued at
$258, ,659, 100. In 1860 there was raised
2,1S6,995 bushels of wheat. 2,941 .952
bushels of corn and 2,176,O02 bushels
of oats; in 1892 there was raised Al
100000 bushels of wheat, "a, 1872, 900
bushels of corn and 43,573,000 bushels
of oats.
But Minnesota is not wholly a grain
producing state. In 1892 there were
2S3 creameries and 50,O00,000 pounds of
butter made in the state: and in the
same year there were $50 cheese fac
tories and 10,A00,0O0 pounds of cheese
made. The aggregate value of these
dairy products, at low estimate, was
over $7,5O0,OOO.
Nor is agriculture the only substantial
resource. There are in the northern anC
central parts of the state vast forests O.
pine and oak. much of them still in {
virgin state. LAUNDERING is an extensive
and for yEars to come will be a perma
nent industry. The value of the lumber
