North Dakota editors took that in and
declared it far superior to anything
they had seen in the show line. Bar
NUNS greatest show on earth is nothing
in genuine interest to Cody's attract
IONS The Duke and Bonaparte were
there andsit is said the Duke Is a con.
slant visitor every afternoon. The i'm.
preston one gets Of the show is that II
is simply cowboy affair with few
Indians thrown in to fill up, but instead
1t is indeed congress of the worlds
most daring riders and warriors. Cos
,, sacks, Mexicans, Arabs, cowboys and
Indians, United States. German and
French cavalrymen are all blended to-
gether while Cody's own feats at shoot.
ing are the wonder of the world.
Can't See 1t All.
It is impossible in the limits of q
column to give even faint idea of the
magnifcence of the fair. / have been
on the grounds almost every day fol-
two weeks and have been silent be-
cause have been completely bewildered
in the maze of interest. It is indeed 8
worlds fair. As a North Dakota
writer recently said: All people and all
classes and all conditions among men
are here represented. All customs, all
employments and all religions. And

terest you weep because you have not
double the capacity to see, feel and
enjoy.
Every day adds to the attractions at
the North Dakota building. The young
state is proud of its achievements and
takes pleasure in carrying the fact into
every department.. Even the olays and
all inanimate things about the building
and wherever they could get foothold
with propriety, seem to whisper:
"Just see what we have done"
Charming Maiden, All of Grain.
The design for the "Colum-
bias Favorite Child Feedeth the
World"-has been changed. The young
ster has been changed into a charming
maiden who has taken the place of Miss
Columbia, and Solomon's best girl was
not arrayed as she. Her face is of
wheat, her hair of fax, her dress of
wheat, her 'ruff1os and scarf of
native grasses, and her smile, born of
the prosperity which has come to the
young commonwealth through its
treasures of soil and atmosphere, is her
greatest attraction. A knight, also
made of wheat, holds a banner on
which is written the proud legend:
I'm the March Of Progress We Lead
the World"
Printed In Letters Of Wheat.
Other legends are printed in let
ters of wheat upon the walls or ban
ners to the effect that North Dakota
produced 10000, 900 bushels of wheat
in 1891 and 1892. To comprehend the
full meaning of this it should be borne
in mind that North Dakota did not
raise bushel Of wheat, not even for
chicken feed, 20 years ago, and that her
cattle and sheep interests are making
rapid strides toward the goal reached
by some OF the cattle and wheat grow
ing states
? South Dakota Is Happily Housed.
The South Dakota exhibit is also a
very attractive one, and displays its
product Of timber, grain and grasses to
excellent advantage. It's mining exhibit
is also very attractive. and its building
roomy and we'll arranged. Iowa exhibits
it's corn interest in every possible way,
and Nebraska follows in the same line
to considerable extent. Delaware gave
up her place, and have looked in vain
to find where Georgia was ut. But the
Northwest is there in all Of her wealth
of strength and beauty.
Colonel w. s. King, the Minnesota
wonder worker, was looking the fair
over recently. You never struck
quite such bundle of enthusiasm. The
colonel conceded that the mind that
conceived this great exhibition had
struck far higher gait than he had
ever swung on. He gave it up. He
could not find words to express his
admiration. ~
Good Meals at Low Prices
There are no longer complaints of ex-
tortion. The rates for lunches are about
the same in the grounds as at the rail-
road eating housas throughout the coun-
try. Just outside the gates first !
class meals can be had at about st.
Paul and Minneapolis prices. I am i. a
pretty good feeder myself, but have
not paid to exceed IS cents for as good a |
meal as should order at any restaurant.
All one can eat can be had at many
restaurants for ~ to 25 cents and just |
as good as any one wants. This of |
course is at lunch counters or the less
restaurants, hut it is where |
well dressed thousands eat.
Better sleep Down Town.
Rooms are too high near the grounds
but the grounds can be reached for 10
cents from down town in 15 minutes
and by the elevated cars in 40 minutes
and the cable in 45 minutes for q nickel.
It is nicer to be down town any way,
unless you have only q day or two to
remain. There are cheap and good ac-
near the grounds Style
costs something but the comforts that
sensible people neel coms at popular
md satisfactory prices. can put in q
month and see al that can be seen at an /
expense Of less than $3 per day and not
eel that am hnniliated in the eyes of
ny most wealthy friends, and others
,an do even better than can do
