dustrlal resources, Of which so little is
really known to the outside world. 1t
has now presented itself by giving to
the State an opportunity Of becoming
an exhibitor at the ST. Louis Worlds
Fair. Seeing that IT is impossible for
the people from the diversified sections
Of the world to visit this Commonwealth,
the Commonwealth takes advantage Of
this Exposition and goes to the people
Of the world. In order to do this with
with credit to ourselves and IN such a
a manner that the desired results will
be obtained. it is necessary that all our
natural and industrial should
be thoroughly exhibited. and in such
manner that every inducement is Of
fered to the homeseeker and capitalist.
Never since 1893 have the finan-
cial conditions in the East been as they
are today. The s~hrinkage in industri-
ais has been nearly 80 per cent. great
err than 1t was in 1898 when the dis
asterous financial panic was precipit-
ated. 1t has been the history of such
times that when such industrials fail
capital seeks other channels of invest
ment. frequently mining. This was
essentially the fact which gave our i'm
petus to mining in 1908. The n
ditions are parallel and capital will seek
mining and other Investments. This
was clearly demonstrated by Nevada's
exhibit at the Pan American EXPOSE
ton at Buffalo in 1901. and the good
work has been going en- ever since that
time. Moreover, never in the history
of the country has the redemption Of
arid land been getting more thoughtful
investigation by the Government. and
by private individuals than it is today.
The small farm is the slogan OF the
Western enterprise, and the attention
Of capital is being diverted from East
ern industries to Western investments.
In order to carry out the provisions
of an Act creating a Worlds Fair
Commission, the sum OF $4,000 was
appropriated by the last Legislature,
$4,000 of which was set aside for the
construction OF a State Building, IS
per cent Of which is completed. The
remainder Of the appropriation is to be
devoted entirely to classifying catalosu-
ing. collecting and maintaining the ex-
hibit during the seven months OF the
Exposition, from May | to December
/, 1904 1t provides free transport
alton for all exhibits TO and from the
Exposition. the railroad companies
having agreed to ship the exhibits free
to Carson City. where they will be
properly classified and packed. Great
care should be taken in packing the
exhibit when forwarding 1t to the Com
mission, and it is their desire that
every. section OF the State should be
thoroughly represented. Application
has been made for 5000 square feet
of space in the Mining Building, $500
square feet in the Agricultural Build
ing, 1880 square feet in the Horticul-
tural Building and 900 square feet
in.the Archaeological Building, Space
will also be reserved in the live stock
exhibit. Owing TO the acops of Ne
vada's exhibit it is being clearly dem
onstfated that the appropriation is in
adequate to do full justice to 1t. The
Commission is msking.a personal ap-
peSiito the various mining"and agricul-
tura! districts. also taking advantage Of
an Acl passed by the last Legislature
which invests power in the various
Boards Of County Commissioners to
make special appropriations from any
sfund for the purpose Of assisting in the
collecting Of exhibits from their respec-
live counties.
