lett who is in charge of the North Da-
kota exhibit to be made at the st.
Louis Exposition. left for home this |
afternoon, after consulting with Gov
nernor White and state officers re-
garding some plans for the display.
Il believe we shall have one of the

Mr.. Bartlett to the Tribune this morn
ing. mo space has been allotted yet,
but we have applied for space 90x62
feet in the agricultural building, with
space also in the mines building and
the dairy department of the agricul-
shall make complete exhibits. The
mines, mining. clay and pottery ex-
hbits will be in charge of Prof. Bah

of fuel in the state, the pottery and
fire clay, with selections of pottery
and dishes, some Of which we hope
will be decorated by North Dakota la
dies as artists.
Agricultural Plans.
In the department of agriculture,
We have many counties in the state
organized already, and shall look to
the other counties. We have pickets
who will inform us where there are
especially good articles for display and
the county committees will gather them
or we will make it our business to do
So The main thing will be to keep
informed as to where to "get the
goods" and we shall do this to the
best of our ability Prof. Waldron of
the state agricultural college will as
sist with this work. and J. B. Streeter
of Larimore will also be field man.
Our headquarters for receiving ex.
hibits will be at Fargo. as the most
convenient place, and all exhibits will
be shipped there and prepared under
the direction of Prof. Waldron. We
do not ask exhibitors to prepare their
displays-merely to send them to us
there and have them properly tagged.
The Live Stock Matter.
In the department of live stock we
shall have displays of wool and live
stock products but as to exhibiting the
live stock itself, the live stock men
discourage this proposition. They say
they are not in shape to compete With
the eastern and southern live stock
that is kept continually in condition
for display. To display live stock re-
quires especial preparation, and in
wolves large expense In the dairy
line however, we shall have con;
plete exhibit and expect to show the
world what North Dakota can do IL.
the way of butter and cheese prod
ucts.
Good Educational Display.
The educational exhibit will be in
charge of State Supt. Stockwell and
President Worst of the state agricul
tural college, assisted of course b!
the state educational association ant
those interested through the state anc
it will no doubt be complete anC
creditable exhibit.
To Show Progress Of Civilization.
One thing we want especially anC
that is to construct miniature of one
of the original log or sod farm house!
first built by settlers in the state. anC
adjoining it we want a modern farm
house, such as has taken the place o
the primitive shack. Persons wh'
have replaced the old sod or lo'
houses with modern buildings vii
confer favor upon us by sending IL
photographs Of both. We shall selec
the best for our purpose, and build eX
act reproductions of them to show tn
development of the state in the CON
elapsed.
Briquettinq Plant Probable.
Another thing Of interest we ar
promised is a briquetting plant In
officials Of the exposition have prom
lsed us briquetting plant If we WI
furnish the coal. We have arrange
Tor that. 1t would be valuable az
Vertisement for North Dakota coal
We can maintain a briquetting plal
with North Dakota Ignite. The IA
oilcials are in correspondence VII
German parties regarding the erecto
OF the briquettiag plant.
No State Building.
We shall not have a state building
