Springfield Monitor: The buildings on the
exposition grounds begin to loom up in great
shape, and 1t now looks as though the man-
ayers were getting right down to business.
Beatrice Democrat: The growing interest
in the Tansmissssippi Exposition assures
Its success. not cnly as a great fair, but 1t
will bring out the wonderful possibilities of
the west. and especially Of the great state Of
Nebraska. While the exposition is not a
Nebraska fair it is to be held within our
state, and we, above all others, are inter-
ested in its success.
West Point Republican, The Transmissis-
s!ppi Exposition is being vigorously pushed
by the management Buildings are being
erected rapidly and much of the outside
work on the numerous structures will be
finished before cold weather actually pre-
vents further operations. The small army of
laborers and mechanics has been doubled
recently and the grounds of the exposition
are assuming their proper shape.
Blair Pilot: Believing the Transmissis-
sippi Exposition of great interest and value
TO this county and Nebraska, the Pilot has
been and Will continue publishing sketches
of the principal buildings in which the dis
play will be made. At come future date we
may devote an entire paper to the eXposi-
tion and should we conclude to do so we
believe the paper will be highly priced, espe-
cially after visit to the exposition has been
made.
Howells Journal: During the heat of the
late campaign the fact that there is to be
great Transmiss ssippi Exposition at
Omaha next year was almost lost sight Of
for all that the work on the buildings and
grounds has continued. Almost daily space
is being engaged by states and other coun-
tries in which to make exhibits of their
products. That the exposition will be a sue
cess is assured. 1t is sure to prove q lasting
benefit 10 Nebraska, as it will be the means
of bringing thousands of people within our
borders, and Will advertise our resources as
nothing else could do.
Wayne Herald: 1t is time for the bust
ness men OF Wayne and the leading stock
men and farmers of the cOur!y to begin
figuring in regard to this county's represen-
tation at the Transmssissippl Exposition
1t is to your interest, yea, an hundred times
and it is not the sluggard that brings forth
he best results for a city or community
UP and be doing. Begin at the proper time
and never quit until the eXpositicn closes
The Herald suggests that at an early date
meeting of the business men and stockmen
Of She city and county be held ar the matter
locked into. We believe that the future i'm
provements in the county as a result of the
exposition would amount to more chan ten
times the amount OF any expense that might
be incurred. 1t will enhance the value of
Wayne county farms will build up a larger
cnd better stock market and a beet sugar
factory would no doubt be established in
,his city through this source.
kearney Democrat: las time goes on and
he day OF opening the TransmssissppI
Exposition draws closer upon it Omaha real
ICES that it has much larger affair on it's
hands than was at frs. supposed. But Omaha
IS a great city and has an abundance of
resources to draw from and as it has always
been equal to all emergencies we know 1t
will not be found lacking in that energy and
push now required to have everything in
complete readiness at The appointed day.
The people of the state, like the people of
Omaha, have underestimated the Importance
md gigantic proportions Of the Transmis-
sissippi Exposition, but Omaha is not and
5hCuld not De more interested in its success
than tho entire state. No Cne cln measure
at this time the vast benefits TO he derived
20 the state at large from this exposition.
Every own and county in the state will
receive substantial benefits; some more some
less. but all in proportion as they merit or
strive to obtain. Omaha will undoubtedly
receive the greater temporary benefit, but
the permGnent benefits will be distributed
throughout the state in many unforeseen
channels
