mence the work of repairing the turn
table within a short time, and a force

AS a result of the first meeting of
the honorary worlds fail commission
for Montana, held in Helena Saturday,
it is considered more than likely that
there will be an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose of consider
ing the question of making appropria-
tons for exhibits at st. Louis and
Portland. The commission believes
this to be the only safe way to proceed
in the matter, and has petitioned the
governor to call an extra session in the
event that the Legislators will be pat
riotic enough to go to Helena for a day
or two without cost to The state. In
the opinion of the commissioners the
appropriation for the St. Louis exhibit
should be $50, 900, while the appropri-
alton for the Portland fair should be
$4,000, and these figures are set in
the petition to the governor.
