About the Fair.

CHICAGO, May 3O.-The crowds con-
inue to increase and the sprinkling of
foreigners is noticeably larger each day.
The North Dakota building, like most
of the other state buildings, is thronged
with visitors constantly, and the North
Dakotan is especially pleased with his
states display. And very near at hand,
in the transportation building,the North
Dakotan will find fine display
Of the products of his
own state. Here the Northern Pacific
railroad company has number of cars
filled with the products and resources of
the states through which it's more than
5000 miles of road run. The cars them
selves are models of beauty, but their
contents are even more SO. Large plate
glass windows have been placed in the
sides Of the cars. These openings have
been artistically decorated with fine SAM
pies of the harvest of the northwest
states. The interiors of the cars are
filed with samples of every industry
followed in all that immense territory ex-
tending from the head of Lake Superior
to Puget Sound. Farmer Wallace pre-
sides over this exhibit, and it is really in.
teresting, as we'll as amusing to those
who know him, % hear him tell visitors
about the wonderful productiveness of
the partially developed northwest, and
the many advantages offered to travellers
over the old pioneer route.
Over in agricultural hall the North
Dakota exhibit is almost finished, and
when completed will certainly be very
attractive one The great Missouri val
ley, and in fact, no portion of the wes-
tern part of the state appears to have
been forgotten in the makeup of the dis
play of North Dakota. The sheep, cat
tie and horse interests seem to have been
remembered on every occasion. At this
display the attention of the spectator is
called to the fact that there is practically
unlimited free pasturage for millions of
heads of stock of all kinds in the Mis-
souri, valley and the western part of
North Dakota. He is also reminded
that winter stabling, and in fact winter
shelter of any character, is something
unknown in the extreme western section.
Then, to one acquainted with the people
Of the Missouri valley, the specimens of
corn, oats, wheat and grasses, speak
orth an individuality when you are told
the name Of the person who raised and
contributed the articles for exhibit on
this occasion. Neither have the millions
OF acres Of unoccupied land been forgot
ten. North Dakota stands in heroic
form, draped IN the products of her fer
tile soil, telling in letters Of golden grain
that she has twenty million acres of
splendid lands to give to the men Of
courage and energy who will but come
and occupy them. that her public
school system is without q superior in
this great land, that splendidly equipped
railroads traverse the state in almost
every direction, that her waters are the
purest, and that her climate is unsur-
passed for healthfulness.
The wonder is that the state has been
enabled to make so complete and COM
prehensive an exhibitof it's every resource
with the limited appropriation provided
for the purpose. When it is remem-
bered that the state of Minnesota ex-
pended about as much money on it's
building as North Dakota provided for
the entire expense of'the exposition,
the fine showing OF North Dakota will
be the more appreciated. Washington,
with her $4,000, and practically every
piece OF material used in its building
contributed gratus, makes grand dis
play, but take away her mammoth flag
