which will start for Texas December 4, to be
absent eight days, are almost completely

been filled and a number OF applications from

Tags for Foreign shippers.

The Department of Transportation is en-
gagged in getting out shipplng tags to be fur
nished foreign exhibitors who will ship
goods to the exposition. Under the provi-
sions OF an act OF congress passed just be
fore the Worlds fair, and which act HIS been
made to apply to all subsequent expositons
exhibits from foreign countries are required
to be marked with tags bearing the flag of
the country from which the exhibit is
shipped. This rule is enforced by the Treas-
ury department as means OF quickly identi-
Tying goods intended for the exposition and
On which no duty is collected. Under the
Instructions of the secretary of the treasury
these tags are being made SKIP inches in
size. with the flag OF the country in the
proper colors. covering the entire face OF the
tag. Shipping directions are then printed
across the face OF the flag in black letters.
The question has been raised whether this
defaclng OF the flags would not be .bjc 3na-
BILE to the governments OF the rs, Joctiga
countries, but letter OF inquiry TO the sec
retary of the Treasury on this point brought
instructions to make the tags in this manner

Commissioner Reserves Space for His
states Exhibits.

Com missioner Reserves space for HIS
states Exhibits.
W. II. Sutherlin, vice president for the eI-
position for Montana. has returned from Chi
cago. enroute to his home. and has reserved
space in the Agricultural and Mines build
ing for Montanas exhibit. He has reserved
what he regards as the smallest amount Of
space the state can have for an exhibit at
all creditable and has reserved the right TO
increase this amount after consulting With
the state officials and prominent men inter
ested in seeing the state well represented.
The space reserved in the Mines building
Is 40x60 feet at the intersection Of the main
aisles. being 400 square feet In the most
prominent spot In this great building. Mr..
Sutherlin good naturedly declined TO give any
intimation OF the form which the exhibit to
be made by his state would take, saying that
he did not want to give the other mining
states hint OF what Montana is doing, but
he said he could give the assurance that the
exhibit will be a highly creditable one and
will possess features which will make Il ore
Of the main points OF attraction IN the Mines
building.
In reply to q question as TO whether the
exhibit would include the silver statue which
attracted so much attention at the World's
fair, Mr.. Sutherlin said it might include the
statue or 1t might include something equally
attractive but along other lines. He added
that prominence will be given the copper
that Montana claims to have the finest cop
ger mines in the country, end these are be-
ing worked at q rapid rate. with enough cop
per In sight in some Of them to keep several
generations al work. The cooper and gold
mines are the only mines that are now being
worked, the silver mines being shut down on
account Of the low price of silver.
In the Agriculture building Mr.. Sutherlin
reserved space near one end OF the build
ing 24x50 feet.
The state Of Montana appropriated SIS 900
for a state exhibit, and at the time the ap-
preparation was made II was announced
that Marcus Daily, the millionaire mine
owner, had agreed 90 cover any appro-
pration the legislature might make. Mr.
Sutherlin stated that he regarded Mr.. Days
portion as good as paid, thus making $780,,
600 that will be available for a state exhibit.
Since his visit to Omaha this time Mr. Suth-
erlin has become thoroughly convinced that
his state must have a building, and he
presses the conviction that the necessary
amount for this can be raised by private
subscription. He will take this matter up
as soon as he reaches home. He has selected
site on the bluff tract which he will rec
ommend as a location for the state building.
The governor OF Montana now has under
consideration the appointment Of a state
commission to assist Mr.. Sutherlin in the
duty Of seeing that the state is properly
represented at the exposition. and these ap
pointments will probably be announced in
short time

HAS GREAT FAITH IN OMAHA
John Scovern Will Improve His Property in
This City.
PLANS FOR A LARGE APARTMENT HOUSE
Expensive Brick and stone Structure
to Be Erected ut Twenty-First
and Fnrnnm Streets in the
Near Future.
PLANS FOR A LARGE APARTMENT HOUSE

John Scoyern, cashier OF tie First National
bank OF Macon, No, is IN the city looking
after matters connected with his Omahl in
vestments. Mr.. Scovern is one OF the people
whose faith in Omaha has not wavered dur
ing the recent period of business depression
and he is about to emphasize his belief in
it's future by erecting an apartment house
on his property at Twenty-frst and Farnam
streets. The building will be constructed OF
light colored pressed brick with stone trim
mings, and it is designed so that the first
floor may be converted into business prop
erty when such change is desirable.
In discussing his Omaha interests Mr.. SEQ
vern said that he was not putting up build
ings to be sold, but as a permanent invest
ment. 81 first visited Omaha in 1860" he
continued "and when l compare the city as
it appeared then with what It Is now, and
then look little into the future, l am con-
ident that 1t has great opportunities for fu-
ture development. With Armour's new plant
on one side and the exposition on the other
/ believe that the city has great opportunities
before it."
In this connection Mr.. Scoyern called at
tention TO a distinction between Omaha and
some other cities which he suggested was
worthy OF consideration. 1T is one OF the
things" he said, that no one except visitor
would De apt 10 noDce, ana nave nearu u
mentioned by number OF people who had
visited the city. They say that in most
cases when a stranger stops some one on the
street 10 inquire in regard 90 the location OF
a certain building or some other simple in
formation, the Omaha man seems to be TOO
busy TO take any pains TO give the desired in
formation.
Now / noticed when We were at the
Knights Templar convention in San Fran
cisco. even :he boolblacks on the street
seemed to have acquired the spirit Of nos
ptahty. II We stopped some one to make
an inquiry they would tell US TO come right
along TO the corner and they would show us
whero IL was. 1t was a small courtesy, but
every stranger appreciates 1t. II seems 10
me that such a spirit ought TO be cultivated
ia Omaha. This city expects to entertlln a
vast number OF visitors next year and people
who come here will not expect to be pro-
yided with room and board, but such little
! courtesies as l have referred to go a long
way toward giving them good impression
OF the city"
