Upon careful auditing Of such expen
ses howCver, it was found that the ap-
preparation was deficient. earnestly
request your examination of this mat
ter, and that you viii make suitable
provision for the payment of the re-
manning obligation to those who aided
us with a public spirit which cannot
be to, highly commented.
The general government, the state
Of Missouri and the citizens of St.
Louis have made very large provision
for the holding of a great exposition
in st. Louis in the year 1908, in cele-
bration and honor Of the requirement
by the United States of the lands
known to history as the Louisiana pur-
chase. The value to be de-
rived by our people from wide dis
semination of such information which
this opportunity offers cannot be over
estimated.
The same remarks apply with equal
pertinence to the Pan-American expo
sition to be held at Buffalo during the
present year, in regard to which will
communicate further aud more detail
ed information in the near future.
The territory has reaped manifold
advantage from the means taken by
the present executive to present to the
world the many and varied agricul-
tural and commercial conditions and
possibilities Of Oklahoma, and expert
ence along these lines gives assurance
that mony thus expended viii be re.
