eft to the City.

Everybody in Butte Is asked to contri-
butte towards making Butte's share Of
the exposition representative of the city
and worthy of it.
Mayor Harrington has received the
following letter in regard to the mat
ter:
I'VE. the members of the Montana
state committee for the Omaha Trans
Mississippi exhibit. respectfully desire
to call your attention to the fact that
the Trans-Mississippi exposition opens
at Omaha, Neb., or the first day Of
June, 1898, and that in the Montana
state building there has been reserved
exclusively for Butte city a room where
II is proposed to have a Photographic

should be, however. IL is essential that
the public edifices of the camp should
be displayed and ii is in this respect
we desire your cooperation and assist
ance.
1T is hardly necessary for us to call
to your notice the incalculable benefit
such an exhibit will be to Butte: the
countless thousands who will attend the
exposition from all parts of the United
States and the world will see the city
as IL is and will learn that instead of
a mining camp of cabins N shacks
We have a municipality in every sense
of the word; a city of solid business
blocks. paved streets and pleasant
homes.
I'VE feel the advantage to be derived
from this plan will be at once seen and
now ask you to provide suitable photo
graphs of the public buildings and
streets of Butte city. Respectfully SUBJ
mitted.

Mayor Harrington said yesterday in
regard to the matter: Il think il is the
duty as well as the privilege of the city
Of Butte and it's citizens to help the
Omaha exposition along in every way
possible. 1t seems to me that it will not
be necessary to have new photographs
TAKEN, at least not many. There are
1nnumerable photographs OF the city,
the streets. principal business blocks
and residences. / wish the people would
bring all photographs they may pos
sess Of views in the city. of residences
and buildings. to the city hall. In this
way there can be collected with trifing
cost photographs of all parts of the city
and of all the principal buildings in 1t.
These will be placed on the walls of
the Butte room in the Montana build
ing and will give visitors a correct idea
Of Butte as it really is.
/ Il think the city council will appro-
pirate a small amount Of money for any
expense that may attach to the collect
ing of photographs and procuring any
new photographs which may seem war
ranted. 1 hope the citizens generally
will cooperate with us and send in
their photographs"
The mayor has appointed Aldermen
Macarthur. Pascoe and Knowlton as a
committee to al charge of the matter |
of procuring pictures of Butte and in
formation in regard to Butte to be ex-
at Omaha The committee will
probably meet on Monday and arrange
for systematic work.
