The entire commission was in atten-

Shuttee, of El Reno, o. T.
The members of the party were es.

are to erect buildings was shown them
and they expressed themselves highly
gratified with the location. "Oklaho-

an exhibition at the st. Louis exhibit
ton" said President Joseph Meibergen,
"but we expect that the appropriation
will be increased to $50, 600 by the leg
islature which is to meet next January.
If the increase should fail, the commits
sion will, it is expected, expend some
sl2, 900 on its state building, using the
balance for an exhibit in the depart
ments. If the appropriation is increas-
ed, the commission will spend at least
800, 900 on a building and the rest Oh
