A hi. Exposition.


these columns OF the excellent work
that is being done by the advertising
department of the St Louis Louisiana
Purchase exposition.
One Of the difficulties first encountered
by the promoters of this enterprise was
the somewhat prevalent idea that the
worlds fair of 1903 was to he merely n
local undertaking. which would not
compare ut all favnrably with the great
expositiOns. and especially the Column
biau celebration in Chicago in 1893.
From a circular recently sent out by
the st. Louis people the following facts
are learned:
The st. Louis worlds fair will he ap-
proximately twice, as big as any former
international exposition.
The Centennial exposition at Phila-;
ldelp!iia covered 2S8 acres. the Paris ex-
position Of lsG9-19O0. 336 acres; the
Columbian exposition ut Chicago. 633
acres; the Pan American at Buffalo.
$50 acres.
The ST. LOUIS worlds fair will cover
l2D0acres.
The constructions cost of the Paris
exposition was 10000 900; that of the
Columbian exposition S1s.322 900; aud
the total cost of the Pan American ex-
position was SIO,O00.0O0.
The estimated cost of the St. Louis
worlds fair will be $50, 900 COO, and this
undoubtedly in accordance with the
usual custom Of such matters will be en-
larged to $4,000 600 by the time the
work is completed
Before the exposition gates are open
May /. 1908. the city of st. Louis alone
will have expended the enormous sum
of $50. .00O.tO0. OF the amount, S5,000,-
600 was appropriated for the fair through
the municipal assembly. her citizens
raised S5.000,000 additional by private
subscription. and by popular vote at a
special election October %, the charter
amendments were carried, which will
enable the city to expend S10.OO0.000 for
street paving and other public improve
ments.
The publication of such figures as
these will do n great deal to create a
proper appreciation ut the magnitude Of
this exposition. II is to be hoped also
that they will lead to a prompt effort
towardsA ,per representation by the
states chiefly concerned in the success
of this fair There is no doubt that
within year the tide Of enthusiasm and
interest will rise to q magnificent height
throughout all the western country.
But proper preparation for adequate dis
play OF our natural resources and our
civic and industrial accomplishments
cannot be made within few weeks.
If Colorado and the other states of the
west are to be properly represented at
st. Louis. and are to derive from this
exposition the benefits that may easily
be attainable by usSwe must engage in
the work of preparation without further
delay. and engage in it with all the ell
thusiasm that is being displayed by the
city of st. Lonis in making the worlds
fair of 1903 record breaker. not only in
magnitude. but in all the other essential
features of great International expos-
tion.-Colorado Springs Gazette.
