IMMENSE W NEEDED

LIFE AND MOTION TO BE AMONG
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSE
TION.
st. Louis, May 6.-lSeveral times the
amount of power employed or required
at any former exposition will be used
at the Worlds Fair here. The policy
of the management is to encourage
life and motion in exhibits and ample
provision is being made in the power
plant which is to be installed in the
western end of the machinery build
ing. Present estimates place this
amount at $4,000 horsepower. The
director of exhibits, Frederick J. V.
Skiff, in a recent report to President
Francis. SAYS:
Letters have been addressed to ex-
hibitors in machinery at previous ex-
positions. requesting an expression of
their willingness to participate in the
universal exposition at st. Louis, and
the replies have been in the highest
degree satisfactory, and indicate that
practicability all who exhibited there
desire to do so at St. Louis, but on a
much larger scale. A circular of in
structions is being prepared for gen.
eral distribution, descriptive of the
purposes and OF the general plan and
scope. of the department of machinery.
1t will reach not only the, makers of.
machinery and machine appliances,
but also those interested in the ma
chinery trade. it being the purpose to
create a widespread interest and a
sentiment favorable to the exposition.
The chief, in his contact with ma
chinery people, finds that the grant
ing of free power and space appeals
not only to exhibitors but to the gen.
eral public in a forceful way. He re-
ports, "The people see that We are not
asking for national and state appro-
priations, and then exacting fees from
the very class for the special benefit Of
which the exposition processes to or
ganize and theoretically exist"
The Stockton (Cal.) chamber of
commerce has bought $1,000 worth of

hibit purposes, having in view the
Worlds Fair at St. Louis, where San
Joaquin county will be literally rep
resented.
