Bismarck, N. D., March 12.-If the gov
ernor approves the bill for the display OF
the states products and resources at the
ST.. Louis exposition, and it is expected
he will do so. meeting of the fair com
mission will be held at Bismarck March II.
The commission consists of Governor
White, Lieutenant Governor Bartlett
Commissioner of Agriculture r. J. Turner
State Auditor H. L. Holmes and Warren
r. Steele of Rola. The original bill pro-
vided for the appointment of tho first
three named commissioners as a board,
but the senate committee on apprOpria-
tions amended it to add the latter two
names. The most important business of
the commission will be the selection OF an
executive commissioner who will have
charge of the collecting of an exhibit
and it's display at the fair, subject to the
supervision of the board Of managers.
So far as known, no definite agreement
has been reached as to the executive com
missioner. Lieutenant Governor Bartlett
has been favorably mentioned. w. r.
Gushing, who assisted with the work at
the Buffalo exposition, would also like a
place with the st., Louis display.

election. He has been a sufferer from
asthma for years and believes the only re:
lief is to get: out of this climate. for q

Senator Hale Of Ramsey county is an:
other who will probably not be candidate
again. Little Of Burleigh county, one. Of
the most influential men In the upper
house, served the second half of his tern
at the last session, and in view of his In
f1uence and value to the interests of his
I district, 1t is probable his constituent:
will return him for another term. Fargo
will have a new senator to elect at TIT
next election Senator Lewis term expir
ing. Stutsman county has been repre-
scented by a populist fur the last fou
years. and the voters Of that county will
probably get into the republican column
again at the next election.
