For Sale--This building will be sold
to the highest cash bidder on or before
Saturday noon.
The Minnesota building at the Pan
American exposition is the first of the
exhibits from the Bread, and Butter
State to show the closing down of the
show. Practically everything which
Minnesota furnished to show her re-
| sources and advantages as a resident
location is for sale. Several bids for
the building have been made and the
best offered up to Saturday noon will
be accepted. The gigantic sandstone
mantel in the building has been pre-
sent, through the Minnesota board of
managers to the Buffalo Country club
by the Minnesota Sandstone company
of Minneapolis. The furniture, which
was only leased to the board of the
New England Furniture company of
Minneapolis, is practically all sold and
the materials in the various booths
will be sold off at what they will
bring. 1t is safe to say that as an ex-
ception to the general rule of, exposi-
ton managing bodies the Minnesota
board will not come back on the state
for cent to pay deficit. i. ,s,s9u
The board has been in session since
Tuesday, all three members being on
hand, H., P. Hall being the, first to ar
rive on Tuesday morning, In addition
to the large number of routine matters
to be wound up by that organization.
the packing has been looked after.
The packing will be done by the en-
ployes of the board under, the direction
of members of that body. The school
exhibit will go practically in its en-
tirety, to st, Paul where it, is to be ex-
hibitedl by the state association. This
exhibit, it will be remembered. took a
gold medal, the only gold medal taken
by,any state for an. educational ex-
hibit. The butter model of the new
state capitol will, of course, be de-
stroyed as it would be impossible to
transport it, 3,tlg RE- .,s,c. "a

The attendance during the final
week has not been up to expectations,
though most everything was favor
able, the weather being extremely
pleasant Saturday, Farewell Day,
promises to be hummer though il
probably will not exceed, in point OF
attendance, Buffalo's day. Minnesota
is holding her own very nicely in pro-
portion to distance but attendance
fro 8 the "Queen of the West is very
low compared to what it has been.
Probably the last of the Minnesota
contingent will leave for home by OF
before the tenth of November ti-c. .
