THE NEVADA EXHIBIT.

It appears from records of the
State Board Of Agriculture that the
Board did not assume the response
bility of erecting building and
making an exhibit at the Midwinter
Far. At the earnest request of sev>
eral prominent gentlemen OF the
State the Board agreed to send out
circulars inviting the public to con-
tribute to fund for an exhibit and
the members of the Board headed
the subscription list with 500 each.
1t did not assume the management
of the Nevada exhibit and it has no
authority to pay the expenses OF the
exhibit only to the extent of the
subscriptions received for that pur-
pose. The members in common
with other citizens desire to see the
State represented at the Exposition
and invite all who have not yet con-
tricuted and can afford to do so to
assist this laudable enterprise. The
fact that several counties from which
contributions were expected have
not responded, limit the funds that
can be expended for the Nevada
building and exhibi, and subscrip-
lions are acceptable. Only few of
those holding offices and whose in
comes have not been affected by the
dull times have contributed to the
exhibit fund. journal.
