President Bartlett of the senate, who
is manager of the North Dakota exhibit
at Buffalo, makes the following state
ments and suggestions regarding the
display: 49,.
1.-THE appropriation is not large enough
to enable the board to make as excellent
an exhibit as the state is capable of, and
the time of preparing the same is short
only some six weeks. Lack of funds
will prevent the board from canvassing
the state in person, and it will have to
largely depend upon the good will and
activity of friends of the exhibit, to aid
in promoting the cause.
The board has found several handsome
displays of grains, cereals and roots,
collected by individuals and handsomely
cased already for use and others in the
state have preserved specimens of grow
ing wheat, oats and other grains All
these are desirable. Potatoes, corn.
seeds, apples. roots and farm products
of all kinds. Citizens who have such, or
knowledge of who have such North
Dakota specimens will confer favor by
communicating with the board. Farm
scenes, seeding pictures, school houses,
churches and public buildings, colleges,
cathedrals, elevators, army post barracks,
Indian schools, artificial groves and farm
cumberland, fine stock-anything and
everything that will be of interest, show
ing what North Dakota has or can pro-
duce-steamboats on the rivers and
Captain Heerman's Devils Lake. Group
pictures of companies of the First North
Dakota regiment and of the N. G..
If you have anything you think of
interest, or likely to be, write Secretary
Turner at Bismarck, or Governor Bartlett,
Cooperstown, who is the manager.
Walter F. Gushing is assistant manager,
and letters sent to the secretary at Bis
marck will have prompt attention and
speedy reply. ~.
'tThe time is limited and speedy work
is necessary. Governor Bartlett goes to
Buffalo next week to select space for
North Dakota exhibits. On his return
central points will be designated to
which specimens may be delivered for
shipment and the board will see that
everything is properly cared for, from
that on.
after the spring crop of grain comes
on special collection will be made of
growing grains and farmers are urged to
prepare selections for exhibit in July and
August next,
ut is the intention to have specimens
of binding twine made at the pen, coal
from our state mines, soils in glass cases,
of various sections of the state, wide
apart, brick and our celebrated terra
Gotta works on exhibit.
Everyone is asked to help the board
to prepare an exhibit of our products, so
that North Dakota may make an exhibit
at Buffalo that will be credit to the
state. Counties could be benefited if
commissioners would take the matter in
hand, and have prepared specimens of
products and also a descriptive circular
Of the land, location, when organized,
number of inhabitants, assessed valu-
alton, amount of government land sub
ject to, entry taxation, and any and
everything that will be of interest to the
home seeker. Give means for transpor-
tation to market and elevator facilities
''The board Of exposition commission
ers will prepare a neat booklet for
general distribution giving general
description Of the lands and other feat
ures of the state, but of necessity, this
viii be general in it's scope. Counties,
cities and towns could unite, prepare a
folder devoted to their special locality,
which the board would see carefully dis
tributed, at the exposition, along with
the general state booklet, :...~
: 1t is thought the board will consider
g proposition to inseTta limited number
of small advertisements Of real estate
men, from different localities over the
state, firms that the board can: recon-
Il mend for reliability and honesty only.
The funds raised in this way will go
toward defraying the Expenses of the
publ lieation. NJ, 4 h s.;: Il. @
a anager Bartlett, asks for help to-
make this q benefit to the state. Any
suggestion sent him will have careful
5consid deration. The board has no other
desire than to make the state exhibit at
Buffalo y success. What have you to
offer?
