FAIR AT CHARLESTON


NORTH DAKOTA GIRL WRITES OF
THE EXPOSITION IN THE
SOUTHERN CITY.
Miss Louise Winterer writes from !
the Charleston. S. c., exposition to her
brother at Valley City, as follows:
tYou no doubt will be surprised to
receive a letter from me from this
place. believe l wrote you from
Buffalo some two weeks ago that I in
tended to enter the university at Ann
Arbor, which l at that time had made
all plans to do, but as it was so near
the holiday vacation thought best not
to enter until after the holidays.
Shortly after writing you I was offered
free transportation to Charleston, if I
would assist in the installation of the
Porto Rican exhibit there. I also was
offered a good salary if 1 would go
down and do the clerical work besides,
which offer I accepted. 1 have been
here over a week but have so much to
do that I could not find the time to
write before. The exposition opened
on the LIST inst, but everyone is behind
in their work owing to the delay in
getting the exhibits ITO the grounds.
The exhibits will not all be in place
until the middle of next month from
present indications. Although the
grounds are not so large as at Buffalo,
the building and location are very
much nicer. @
The climate here is simply grand.
1t has been so warm for the past few
days that wearing furs or heavy jacket
is very uncomfortable. Today it is
somewhat cooler, though not cold
enough for wraps. The flowers are all
in full bloom here on the grounds and
/ am told it will not be cold enough to
freeze them this winter. The salt
water breeze from the Atlantic is very
refreshing and I think the climate will
agree with me-: at least SO far I have
not suffered with headache, as most of
the people have who come here from
the north and west, until they were ac-
climated.
On my way here l stopped at Wash
ington for one day and Of course called
and paid my respects to our North Da-
kota delegation at the capital and
found them all only too glad to show
me all the sights. While there 1 was
entertained most royalty by Senators
Hansbrough and McCumber, Major
Hamilton, also Senator Turner from
Washington, Senator Clarke from Mon
tana and Senator Depew of New York.
b three last named I met while at
the Buffalo exposition. I was extended
the courtesies of the floor of the SEN
ate and house, and in the evening
Senator Hansbrough invited me to his
home to a dinner given in my honor.
His private secretary and wife took me
all over the city and for the short time
l was there certainly did not lose any
time for / was taken to all the places
of interest and saw a lot of interesting
things could not have had time to see
e l to go about alone. I met Ed
itor Jewell of the Bismarck Tribune at
the capitol; also several others from
Dakota and Minnesota. I stopped n
day at Richmond to see a little of that
historic town. Mr.. Jewell gave me a
letter of introduction to a former Da-
kotan, at one time secretary of the ter
ritory, who is now editor of the Rich
mond News and Dispatch, and during
the few hours I was there I was piloted
all over the city and saw ever so many
places of interest. I have not had
time to see much of Charleston as yet.
for have been very busy since here. but
expect to before I leave.
