FROM CHICAGO.

Ed. APPEAL:-Your readers would
be surprised, as the World has been,
at Nevada's fine exhibit in the Agri-
cultural building at. the Fair. The
I booths are so thick there and one
sees so much of corn and grain that
it is easy to overlook a display as |
overlooked ours the first time l
hunted. With the directions ~i~"a

Guilty. Jim was there calculating
some astonished spectators, He
apologized for the appearance of the
place but that was really needless.
1t locked attractive and inviting. \
half dozen boxes of those matchless
apples from Ross Levers Nashoe
orchard had arrived in the morning
ard were being put Oh exhibition. |
wish to thank Mr.. Levers personally
and for the people for his timely as
sistanco. Those apples are just the
thing and they are doing wonders
for the State. You see genial james
is schemer. Instead of putting
our apples IN the great Horticultural
building where they would be lost in
the amazing quantities of fine fruit,
he shows them in the agricultural
booth where they are alone in
then triumph. These and our big,
smooth potatoes surprise and delight
the visitors. We also have sheatns
Of grain, bales of hay and ornaments
of corn as artistically arranged and
as fine in their variety as those OF
any state therein represented.
James was expecting an awarding
committee on wheat, when | was
there. Members of the committee
had informed him that our wheat is
remarkably heavy and fine. He now
hopes to add perhaps another medal
to our laurels. Doubtless you re
ceivel a copy Of paper published
here in the interests of irrigation.
Much space is given in the latest
issue to descriptions a d pictures Of
our exhibits, under the title Nevada
surprises the world" This splendid
recognition Is directly attributable to
the efforts and courtisies Of James
Yer:ngton. James promptly ordered
1000 copies of the paper for distri-
button. We should be thankful that
James is aware of the value Of print
er's ink. 1 was gratifed TO learn
from Jim that already many prospec
tive investors have been anxiously
inquiring for lands in Nevada. Jim
assures them chat we have all the
acres they want, of a character to
raise anything that grows. We will
reap many benefits from our repre-
sentation here but if we had given
the State and her comm ss'oner
the chances that both deserved, the
lesson to tn. world would havc been
of inestimable value.
Alphabetically, the Agricultural
building is one of the most pleasing.
1t has two water fronts, one of which
looks upon the grand basin. 1t is
on this side that the huge sculptured
bulls and Norman horses gaze at
each other across the water. On the
roof of the building are many groups
of statuary, enc of the most graceful
of which was appropriated from
French designs, used at the Paris
exposition Inside, this monster
edifice is so filled and choked with
products of the soil that the task of
seeing all is almost interminable
However, everything is attractively
arrayed and with the infinite variety
of display the place is a general
favorite.

chocolate girl. This is a statue of
heroic size, standing upon a pedestal
under carved canopy. The whole
is wrought in solid chocolate, The
girl breathes forth a rich, dark
brown favor of the tropics, which
not only draws one from afar but
which is so prevalent as to leave last
ing and agreeable taste in sensitive
