comparatively rev vi tHe tAOood'io
of former Wisconsin people livingin Neb-
raska, Kansas, Colorado and the newer
States OF the west are aware OF the I'M
portance the Badger state has attained
during the last few years i'll manufactul-
ing lines. While Milwaukee is one OF the
largest beer brewing centers in the world,
the value of the beer product is not more
than one-tenth of the manufactured in
dustriee of that city. The annual out
put of clothing Is fully $5,Oo0,00O, OF
boots and shoes $1 900. O00s=or more,
and so on, through the list, which III
tudes nearly everything rom a railway
locomotive, cars and rails, tothe smaller
articles necessary to every day lille. No
city in the United States tins greater
amount Of leather, and in milling flour
Milwaukee occupies Il conspicuous place
The products yearly o. the Cudahy,
Plankinton, Layton and Bodden pack
ing houses are nearly one-thrd OF a hum
dred million, which, with the output OF
half dozen immense knitting factories,
which manufacture lage variety OF gar
ments, a dozen harvester and farm ma
clinery factories, one OF the largest FAC
tories in the United States engaged i'll
making stamped tinware, four mamouth
machine shops and iron foundries, and
many other manufactures, all make q
magnificent showing for the CITY and
state and should at once prompt Wis
consin's representative business men to
arrange for an exhibit of their goods at
the Mississippi Expositiot i'll 1898.
What is true ofMilwaukee is i'll large
measure true all over Wisconsin, when
one comes to think OF the enormous
cheese factories and dairy interests
which form the chief industry in the
southern part of the state, The Fox
river is filed with mills, principally Ell
gagged in the manufacture OF paper, the
output exceeding that OF any other west
ern district, while Racine and kenoshn
waq Ols, grain separators and other
farm machinery for nearly half century
have been III use in helping settle up the
states and territories of the great west
era DOMAIN OF the United States. III

and blindes, and building appurtenances
The supply of mineral such as copper,
is said to be inexhaustible, the Superior
district in the northern portion teeming
with deposits far richer than man can
conceive. Adjacent to this is the great
iron range from which millions OF tons
OF valuable ore are taken every Year. In
the southwest part are lead and zinc
mines which for nearly a century have
contributed to Wisconsin's fame as u
territory and also as one of the wealth
producing mining sections of the north
west. The chapter of Wisconsin's IN
dustries is long one and we'll worthy of
page i'll the worlds exhibits to be
made at Omaha at the Trans Mississippi
Exposition.
Within the past week Walter W. Pol
lock of Milwaukee, former secretary of
the Wisconsin Semi-Centennial Commit
tee, has been in Omaha consulting with
the managers in regard to an extensive
and diversified exhibit OF Wisconsin pro-
duets at the Trans Mississippi Exposi-
ton. Mr.. Pollock is strongly Impressed
with the idea that the Exposition man
ayers should make proper effort to inter
est,the people OF Wisconsin in the great
enterprise, the result of which would
tend to encourage the Legislature OH the
converting Of the session i'll the month Of
August, the present year, to make q lib
eral appropriation on the part OF Wis
consin in promoting the great industrial
event, and in making creditable exhibit
of it's manufactured products and MN

Nearly s 900, 900 is in sight, all sour
ces, for the Exposition. This sum is be-
ing constantly added TO and it is expect
ed will be more than doubled by the end
of 1897
The estimated cost Of the Exposition
buildings, apart from the government |
and state buildings, is $55O,O0O. It is
said that the some total OF cost of EX-
