territory is 10 be made at that great fair. The exposition is to be hid at
 Buffalo. New York, from May first to November 1, this year. It is but re- i gently that the country generally has learned that this exposition in magni-
 tude and attractive features will riyai if not surpass, the great Columbian
 Worlds Fair held at Chicago in 1893,
 which exposition has heretofore set the high water mark for the world in .hat line of human achievement The fed eraI government has appropriated the sum of s500000 for suitable govern mont building and exhibit, and so far as l am adyis.d all of the states have either made appropriations for the same purpose or have such action in contemplation. Canada. Mexico and
 the south American republics are all lending their vigorous co-operation toward making the exposition a sue cess. A rare opportunity is thus afford ed for placing this territory in a proper
 light before the country. A good eX- , hibit. intelligentEy displayed, would do much toward educating the people of the east in reference to Arizona. and In removing mlsinf and preju- dice. Complying with the request of the exposition management. I appointed
 last July, eight commissioners, two vice presidents and two honorary mam- blr ITS of the wonen's board of managers | to represent the territory. There will!
 be little opportunity, however. to make showing at all creditable to Arizona at he exposition, unless you make ad- | equate appropriation therJ for
 | Another exposition, very ambitious in scope. is contemplated, to be held in
 St. Louis, Mo, in 1903, in celebration of
 the Louisiana purchase. An attempt will be made to surpass any exposition
 ever hold. To assure its success. the federal government has appropriated | five millions of dollars. It is true that the twenty-second legislative assembly
 will convene before the opening of the St. Louis exposition, but should you
 decline to consider the matter now, it | is hardly probable that there will be
 sufficient time for the next legislature l to make the proper provisions for a | suitable exhibit. l therefore recom- mend that you take such preliminary steps as will assure a successful repre-
 sentation of this territory when the
 time arrives for definite action; and I
 suggest that a conditional appropria-
 tion would meet the requirements.
 ARIZONA PIONEER HISTORICAL | SOCIETY.
 I urge upon you the importance of encouraging this society with substan- | iaI nil nd mic fnrtt,na vrb n t-
 tended former legislative liberality
 should not be taken into account. The ] Pioneers Of Arizona are entitled to the | love and respect of the people in the l fullest sense, and their work in compil-
 ing and preserving historical data
 should be aided in every proper way.
 All living witnesses to the birth and
 early struggles of the territory will | soon be gone-not many are now left =
 and ito them is due every consideration
 from our younger citizenship. Provis-

 necessary expenses. I earnestly recom-
 mend that you inquire into the financial condition of the society and appropriate
 the amount necessary for its relief.
 TERRITORIAL BOARD OF HEALTH
 l recommend that a territorial board
 of health be established and the ap- pointment of territorial health officer

 enforce quarantine regulations and san
