plans suggested, all of which were with
the thought of making the building
as perfectly suitable for exhibits as
possible. Only those who have had
experience as exhibitors can appreciate
how much this means as compared
with a building which Is worked out
and completed by an architect. who
may not have had special exposition,
experience, or knowledge OF the details
which may be included without addi-
tional cost ana without marring the ar
chitectural and artistic features. Such
slight changes will often modify the
building SO that instead OF being very
badly adapted to exhibits it contains
all the requisites for permitting sue
cessful installation. 1t is doubtful
whether In the working out of any ex-s
hibit building so much thought was
ever given to the comfort and con-
venience of exhibitors. The contract
calls for the completion of the building
by September 1st, thus leaving ample
time for the most elaborate installa-
ton.

The republican county convention is
to be held tomorrow. The presiding
officer is Howard Clark, a young law
yer of the city, who will probably de-
liver a short speech. The convention
is likely to be of short duration, since
every contes. was settled at the prim-
aries and the candidates who are in the
lead have clear majority so that in no
instance can there be more than one
ballot There will not be any friction
or any attempt to secure divided
delegation to the state convention, or
anything of the kind. The resolutions
will endorse Cummins and Bishop, the
only Polk county candidates for places
on the state ticket. There will be no
occasion for the Endorsement of any
other candidates. Inasmuch as the re-
publican state convention has not yet
been called it is probable that the nam
ing of the delegates to the state con-
vention will be left to Cuminins and
Bishop. or nominally to the former,
with the understanding that the latter
will be consulted. The convention not
having much business before it will be
in a mood to listen to good speaking.
1t is anticipated that the governor will
be called on and that he will make a
rafting good speech. touching on ma
tional political matters and indicating
something of what he will say and do
in the approaching state campaign.

BUILDING COVERS 90 ACRES.
Mammoth Structure for the Depart
ment of Agriculture at the Worlds

| !
st. Louis, March 13.-The contract
for the completion of the agriculture
building at the st. Louis worlds fair
was let for $529,94O. This building is
fifteen per cent larger than any other
building at the exposition and is the
largest structure erected for the recep-
ton of single department.
1t is 500x1,6 600 feet, thus containing a
floor space of almost twenty acres.
This building and that to be built for
horticulture will probably be the only
ones in the exposition bearing color on
the outer walls. The agriculture build
ing will! have used upon it green with
points of brighter color.
Garlands, wreaths and festOonS of
fruits and flowers are to figure in the
color scheme. The architectural mem
bers, such as the cornices and the piers
between the mouldings, are to be left
white.
The plans for this building have been
prepared under the immediate super
vision of Mr. Isaac S. Taylor, director
of works of the exposition and by Mr..
E. l.. Masqueray, chief OF design.
The building is probably the best
practically successive series of vim
dow, each seventy-tive feet long and
twenty seven feet high. These VIM
dows are placed fourteen feet from the
floor so as to allow the use of the wall
space inside for the exhibits. Trian-
gular monitor windows supply sky light
while they cut off the direct sun light,
which would certainly spoil many OF
the exhibits this building will contain.
The grand nave, log feet wide, which
runs thru the 1000 foot length of the
building, rises to height of sixty feet,
and supplies the grandest vista of IN
stallation space of any building ever
deigned for exposition purposes.
The entrances to the building are dis
tributed to serve the visitors. A grad
ual rising approach will lead up from
the northeast where is located the
main picture Of the fair. The beauti-
full slopes of the hill around the build
ing have been assigned to the depart
ments OF agriculture and horticulture.
and here during the fair there Will be
fine display of Towering
shrubbery and of indigenous and eX-
otic plants. Hydrants to supply water
to these exhibits at all times have been
planned
On it's south side it will have gal
lery 500 feet long and 25 feet wide.
Here will be the offices for Chief +. w.
Taylor and his staff: reading rooms
where the leading agricultural publica-
tions will be kept on file: jury rooms
and large committee room. There
will also be on this gallery an assem-
bly, hall for the meeting of agriculture
and other societies. This hall will be
LOG by so feet and will have seating
capacity of nearly 1000.
1t is worth noting that the pleasant
relation of the division of exhibits and
the division of works has resulted, in
this case. in building which is better
adapted for the purpose for which it
is constructed than is sometimes true
of exposition palaces.
The director of works sought the
advice and suggestions of the chief OF
the departments and as a result many
were made in the drst
