M1SNEsorA EXHIBIT AT BUFFALO.
Special Commissioner Talks of the
Great Fair.

Special Commissioners Talks of the
Great Fair.
st. Paul, Sept. 9.-H. p. Rucker, q
special commissioner of the Pan
American exposition, which is to
be held in Buffalo next summer, Is In
st. Paul for the purpose of interest,"
ing the people of Minnesota and the
Northwest in the great fair. He Is work
ing to secure exhibits from the various
states that will show in a creditable man
ner the resources and Industries of the
Northwest. The Importance Of good
showing is appreciated by the people of
this and the adjoining states, and Mr..
Rucker is confident that comprehensive
displays will be sent to the exposition.
IT have met with great encouragement
from the Commercial club, state agricul-
tural society and the leading men from
all parts Of the state" said Mr.. Rucker.
II find that the people need only to be
reminded of the Importance of making
an exhibit and believe that there will
be no question as to the result
1.-The magnitude of the exposition may
to certain extent be appreciated when
1t is understood that one of its purposes
is to illustrate the progress in art, manu-
features and agriculture, during the past
century, in all of the states and countries
of the Western hemisphere. 1t will in
struct the visitor by means Of the best
object lessons and will tell the story of
Western progress and civilization. Buff
falo is located near the dense population
Of the United States and Canada and,
with it's many attractions including Mag
ara Falls is well calculated to draw mill
lions of people to the exposition.
Minnesota, neighbor and linked to
Buffalo by the lakes, will have marked
advantage over other states in being well
represented at the exposition. A great
proportion of the visitors will be from the
East, the very people that the Northwest
wants as investors and to develop its
resources. Times and conditions have
changed since the worlds fair in Chicago
and, in my opinion. a state exhibit at
Buffalo next year will yield far greater
results with much less effort than was
gained by the exhibit made at Chicago
in 1893"
