THE OMAHA EXPOSITION MEDAL.
Much Interest Being Manifssted-Photo-

Magazines-Oontest Will Close
February Goth,


The interest in the selection Of the
ladies to represent the different states
and territories in the modelling of the
Omaha exposition medal, grows apace all
over the west, as the Importance of the
matter is appreciated. In Montana
there were 81 candidates for the honor.
A letter was received last night from
Hon. E. Rosewater, editor of the Omaha
Bee and chairman of the department of
promotion of the exposition, urging that
the request of Mr.. Lindsay, which we
published a fortnight ago, for permission
to use the photographs, be granted,
as various magazines and first-class
periodicals are DESTROYS of reproducing
them.
Mrs. Solomon Luna has graciously ac-
coded to the request, and it is supposed
that her colleague, when selected, will
do likewise. Thus far Mrs. Lewis, of
Albuquerque, Is ahead on the vote, but
1t is rumored that friends of Miss Belle
Ilfeld, Mrs. Renehan, Miss Hurt and
perhaps others will make a spirited con-
test before the time expires. 1t has been
decided to extend the time till IL o'clock
noon of February 26, on which day the
New Mexico commission will meet in
Santa Fe.
