WORLDS FAIR PROGRESS.
The End of the Present Year Will
See All of the Buildings Ready
for Exhibits
The LAGOON WORK NEARLY FINISHED.
Foreign Governments Showing In
creased Activity i'm Arranging for
Displays, and Several are Dis
posed to Enlarge Upon Original
Plans, Notably France.

St. Louis, Jan. THE Globe-Dem-
ocrat, commenting ~editorially on the
progress manifest in the preparation
for the Louisiana Purchase centen-
NAL exposition, says:
at is stated on official authority
that the physical features of the
Worlds fair will be completed by the
end of the present year, and be ready
then for the exhibits, with four
months for interior preparation. Con-
tracts have been let for nine main
structures, which include the build
ings to be devoted to art, varied in
dustries, machinery, electricity, edu-
cation, social economy, manufac-
lures, liberal arts, mines and metal
lurgy. Contracts have also been made
for the architectural terrace for the
state exhibits, and for the hanging
gardens and Cascade hill. The lagoon
work is nearly finished. Drawings
for the agricultural and the horticul-
tural building are ready. Several of
the principal buildings are nearly
completed, and all must be done by
December 1 next, OF the contractors
forfeit $500 a day. Foreign govern
ments are active in arranging for
their displays. They are disposed to
enlarge the original plans, France
just having sent word that it will re-
produce the Grand Trianon instead
Of the Petit Trianon.
"The commissions in charge of the
state exhibits are moving vigorously.
Director of Works Taylor says that
from designs submitted,i it is apparent
that the structures to be put up by
the states will surpass anything here
tofore undertaken by individual
States and he is sure that all can be
erected in one season. He estimates
that the physical features of the fair
are from rs to 80 per cent. finished.
Word comes from Oregon that the
state will spend $4,000 on it's exhibit.
The Pennsylvania legislature will
make a large appropriation without
delay. States that they had not de-
cided to participate are swinging into
line. The many governors inaugural
ed this month cover the fair period
with their administration, and will
have to do a great deal of explaining
If their states are unrepresented at a
national celebration and the largest
and most splendid of international
expositions. They will not do their
states or themselves justice if they
fail to join the big procession that
will be HISTORICAL"
