the department or lrrlgatlOn, forestry
and fish, our state has been enabled to
install a most creditable display in the
agricultural building. Samples of all
the varieties of grain of our state are
we'll and tastefully displayed in glass
pyramids, glass jars, bottles and show
cases, and sections Of trees, seeds and
other forest products are exhibited, also
fish put up in alcohol, minerals, standing
grain in sheaves, etc.
In addition there is a fine Collection
of pictures of a high grade relating to
North Dakota, representing farm views,
school buildings. historic scenes and
persons. The exhibit contains many
original, attractive and instructive
features, such as the symmetrical wheat
pyramid, placed upon the top of the
platform supporting in glass jars other
varieties of grain from our state; the
North Dakota rustic oaken chair, much
admired and used by the sightseers;
sections of native woods, showing bark
intact and cuttings of the material in
such a way as to show heart and sap
wood by four planes, transverse, radical,
oblique and tangential; fish preserved in
alcohol; the Sylvaton diploma, being a
steel engraving upon parchment; pict-
ures of our North Dakota fish; a large
mass of standing grain from the Red
River valley, etc. Among the pictures
may be mentioned the noted oil paint
ing, Of large dimensions, known as
Charming in the West" executed by
the celebrated artist, Carl Gutherz,
which painting represents scenes on a
farm in Richland county, N. d. It,
without doubt, is one of the finest pieces
of art work to be found in the entire
exposition, and it is much admired by
the people thronging the building. It
cost the U. S. government, to whom it
belongs, it is claimed, the sum of six
thousand dollars.
The management of the exhibit are
industriously engaged in the distribu-
ton of literature treating of the re-
sources, development and advantages of
North Dakota and is constantly posting
the inquirers as to where good govern
ment and other cheap lands can be
secured in our state.
AS the state made ne appropriation
for the exhibit, there is pressing need of
funds to pay the current expenses of
managing the affair, and it is to be
hoped the counties of the state will furn-
ish the money, so the practical advapt-
ages of the exhibit may be continued.
Cass county has made a good %appropria-
ton (S25O) and it is expected other
counties will soon take action in the
matter. If funds cannot be made avail
able it seems evident the exhibit must
be abandoned.
There are but two persons in charge
of the exhibit, Mr.. Barrett who makes
no charge for his services, and Miss Fl.
e. Ford, stenographer and secretary.
Both of these individuals are constantly
busy is distributing literature and en-
planning tc the visitors the advantages
Of North Dakota for the home.seekers.
The press is also being furnished free of
cost with articles from these two per-
sons setting forth the claims of our
state.

THAT IS IT EXACTLY.

People sometimes wonder how it is
that the w. *. Henderson Iron Works
has assumed such proportions, covered
so wide territory in its business re-
lations, in so short time. This is not a
matter Of much surprise when the mat
ter is investigated. Prompt attention to
business; good work done; courteous
department towards patrons and rea-
sonable prices has ever been a winning
card and will continue to be as long as
civilization lasts. And this is the key
to the situation with the w. K. Hender-
son Iron Works. While studying their
own business, they have an eye open to
the best advantage of their patrons.
They have the best foundry in North
Louisiana and sell the best make Of
machinery at the lowest prices.

declares peace at home and that fellow
feeling between the nations Of the round
earth that will make us so ~wondrously
