FOR NEVADA'S EXHIBIT
AT ST. LOUIS
Exposition Commissioner Asks for Co.
Operation.

eFeu dt Tue opera nouS6 vi last
Sunday evening and heard ]. A. Yer
rington, Nevada commissioner to the
st, Louis Exposition, and other
speakers dilate upon the advantages
to be derived from a Nevada exhibit
which would do full justice to the
resources of the state.
Mr.. Warrington was introduced by
r. p. Dunlap. In few well chosen
remarks the Montana Tonopah's sec
rotary commented upon the two
classes of Nevadans, those apostates
who forgot their debt to the state
and those who remained true to their
native section and credit to the
land that gave them birth. In the
latter class he declared Mr. Yerring-
ton to be, and urged that the com
mssioner's appeals for cooperation
in properly exhibiting the state of
Nevada be cheerfully granted.
The address of Mr.. Warrington was
brief and to the point, and while he
apologized for his lack of oratory his
hearers seemed to appreciate his
simple and earnest statement of the
situation
AS each worlds fair must eclipse
all predecessors, Mr.. Yerrington de-
clared, it is logical to assume that
the fifty million dollars spent for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition will
reveal to the world the most magnifi-
cent international fair ever given.
While the states and even foreign
countries vie with one another in
sending their best exhibits, he claims
that the state of Nevada should
exert every effort to lay before the
people of the world a representative
collection of her wonderful mineral
and agricultural resources.
The appropriation made by the
state legislature for the Nevada ex-
hibit is $40, 900, of which S., 900 is
devoted to the Nevada building now
nearing completion. MIR. Warrington
states that in comparison with previ-
Gus appropriations for international
exhibits, the amount allowed by the
legislature is liberal, but the intention
of the commission is to make such a
showing as will far exceed previous
efforts along this line. Mr.. Yerring-
ton cited the fact that Nevada's ap-
preparation for exhibits at the Buffalo
exhibition was only $1,000, while no
appropriate at all was made for
the Paris exposition, and yet on both
of these occasions the state was well
represented, owing to the efforts of
the commission and the co cooperation
OF the people. Mr.. Warrington ex-
presses himself as being confident of
the same enthusiastic support this
time and, for the commission, prom
Used the utmost effort to make the
exhibit success.
The fact that Nevada was awarded
the only gold medal given in the
mining building at the Pan. American
exposition was recalled, and the
speaker declared that the $4,000 given
by the legislature for that exposition
had, in his estimation, brought to the
the state in the form of investments
no less than one and one quarter
million of dollars.
The new Nevada, or the Nevada of
agriculture, Mr.. Yerrington believes,
will prove as much a revelation TO
the world at large as will the display
of our wonderful mineral resources,
and the commission has therefore ar
ranged for a full exhibition of the
irrigating system now being installed
as well as for samples of soil from
various places and a chemical analysis
OF the same.
Mr.. Warrington also states that
while the utilitarian resources of the
state must be well represented at
St Louis, Nevadas contribution to
the anthropologicali interest of the fair
will be second to none. The prehis-
