Honorable Body to the work of our organiza-

the products of Nevada in the interest Of the
State, including Eureka county. The exhibit
has been in Reno for nearly a year past, and a
short time in San Francisco, California. We
enclose herewith an extract from our Articles
of Incorporation, which indicates the scope of
our work.
This exhibition will be maintained in the
as in the past, at the expense Of the
business men of Washoe county, without aid
from other citizens outside of this county. Up
to the present time, the expense of installing
maintaining this exhibit has been an az
Of nearly $500 per month.

Legislature, entitled "An Act to Encourage
The Exhibition of Nevada Products" which
reads as follows: Section 4. The Commits
sioners may, for the purpose of illustrating,f
exhibiting and advertising the resources o

receive the sum stated, from but a few Of the
counties, it would not be sufficient to insure
success in this effort, but we need the amount
from every county in the State, and with it
we will guarantee that every dollar will be
applied in the manner and for the object
