IT'S Remarkable Development Shown py
Worlds Fair Exhibit.


Worlds Fair Exhibit
The Transportation building ut the
Worlds Fair is the most interesting feature
of the great exposition to all persons inter-
ested in the development of the United
States. 1t contains q complete exhibit of
the latest railway appliances as well as the
quaint locomotive and stage coaches of the
past. The Northern Pacific railroad went
step further than other transportation COM
panies when 1t resolved to show two elegant
cars, especially built for the purpose, con-
tanning samples of products gathered from
the states OF Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The company was, no doubt,
prompted to make this display because the
completion of its transcontinental line
made the development of the states named
possible. Had It not been for the enter
prise and pluck of the originators and man
ayers of the Northern Pacific railroad,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and WASH
ington would still be frontier territories in
habited by Indians and wild beasts, instead
of being progressive and prosperous COM
monwealths The products exhibited by
the seven states are handsomely arranged
and include all kinds Of grams in the straw;
threshed grains and seeds, fruits and ber-
ries; wild and cultivated grasses; ores,
woods, iron and coal; precious metals and
stones; hops, tobacco and flax; flour, wool
and fish; tanning bark and tanning acid;
marble, building stone, potter and brick;
aerated, dried, preserved and canned
fruits; vegetables, petrifed woods, hne
mineral specimens, etc., etc. In the season
of fresh apples, pears, plums, cherries,
peaches, prunes, grapes, berries, melons,
roots and garden vegetables will be brought
from the northwestern states, daily, for ex-
hibition. In short, the exhibit comprises a
general collection of all kinds of products
to show the diversified resources OF the
seven great northwestern states traversed
by the Northern Pacific railroad.
Visitors who intend to invest money In
the northwest are reminded by attractive
placards that the company still retains con-
troll of immense tracts of land in that terri
tory, the exact figures being as follows:
Minnesota, 100000 acres; North Dakota,
6S5O,0OO acres; Montana, 600 acres;
Idaho, 1,740,000 acres Oregon. 800, 900 acres;
and Washington, s, 700, 900 acres.
The two exhibit cars are marvels of the
car builders art. They are vestibuled; have
large bay windows reaching from floor to
roof; are decorated with ornamental woods
from the forests along the Northern Pa
cific, and are in themselves an exhibit
worthy of thoughtful inspection. The cars
are placed on one of the tracks in the large
annex to the ansportation building.
