| Omaha next year is going to be a great
| success. The directors are going to work
with energy and in the proper manner.
| Their wisdom is shown in the selection of a
newspaper man as manager OF the Depart
ment of Publicity. Mr.. L. Rosewater, edl-
| tor OF The Omaha Bee is the man chosen
for this most important position, and his
being at the head of that department in
.sures not only the most thorough and in
| telligent advertising, but 1t also insurcs the
hearty cooperation of the newspapers. and
this means much to the success of the ex-
position.

Minneapolis Chronicle: The project of
holding Transmississippi and international
Exposition at Omaha next year is being ag-
tated. 1t is proposed to open in June, 1898,
and continue till November. Minnesota Is |
expected to take part in the work of helping |
to make the exposition a success, on the |
ground that it will prove a benefit in ma |
terial way to this state, by a full exhibit !

Fessenden, IN. d. News: We have re-
ceived from E. Rosewater, editor of The |
Omaha Bee, a prospectus of the Trans |
mississippi and International Exposition, to |
be held at Omaha, Neb.. from June l to |
November 1, 1898. In the Worlds Coum- |
bian exposition of 1898 the exhibits Of the |
transmissssippi states were overshadowed |
by the exhibits of foreign countries. or |
the millions who passed through its gates, |
comparatively few carried away with them
a distinct impression of the productive re-
sources OF that vast empire. The purpose of
the projectors of the Transmississippi Ex-
position Is to acquaint the nation and |
visitors from other countries with the
fabulous wealth and stupendous possibilities
of the greater west. This enterprise should
have the hearty support of all North
Dakotans and we would suggest that the
present legislature take some action to-
ward creating a commission and making
an appropriation that our state may be
properly represented in this great exposi-
tion. 1T is of vital Importance that the
matter be given careful consideration and
that prompt and ardent action be taken.
This will be a great display and North
Dakota should not be a laggard in the pro
cesslOn
