net amour of 81, 000, 900. The actual
freight paid last year amounted to

81, GOO, 900, making a total of $500 600
that the truck crops from Eastern
North Carolina brought in 1903. Mr..
Brown said he knew of no industry in
the Southern states during recent years
that had grown like the trucking in
dustry in North Carolina
The speeches made last night were
short. but they were excellent and we
YOU be glad to give q synopsis Of
each speech but the late hour prevents.
1t would have made the heart OF any
man who loves North Carolina beat
with pride and joy to have been pres
ent last night n learned Of the great
progress his state was making in this
industry. The best evidence of its far
reaching Importance was the fact that
gathered around the festive board were
men from Eearly every important city
ir. tsle eastern section of the United
Sta tas, Who would have believed years
ago that in the spring time Easte--
! North Carolina would be crowded with
men eager to buy the strawberry crop
to ship to Boston, Rochester. New York.
Cleveland. Montreal. Canada, and all of
the other important northern cities.
They come not in two and threes but
by scores and year by year the num-
Der increases.

entire meeting last night was that there
was no longer sections; that this was

Around the wallis, inside the building
are glass tanks which contain speci.
mems of the different kinds of fish.
In the center of the room Is a pool
in which seals and turtles disport
themselves.
The illuminations and cascades are
certainly grand. We could not de.
scribe them. They must be seen to be
appreciated. Last night we visited
them from the Ferris wheel. 1t is a
most thrilling sight as the different

Dear Courier:-We left Ottumwa
Tuesday via the G.. B. & @. at 8 o'clock
a. M, and reached Ft. Madison at
1906, left there at 12:36 for st. Louis.
Arriving here we came directly to the
Inside Inn. It being late we decided
to rest for the next day. On Wed.
nesday morning we took the car for
the administration building and be-
came much interested in looking 1t
over as 1t is to be the future seat Of
Washington university and is the only
permanent building on the grounds.
After finishing this we took an auto
mobile ride over the grounds. This
we found very helpful in fixing the To-
cation of the principal buildings.
We next visited the foreign build
ings and found them very interesting
among which were Austria, Belgium,
China, Holland and Sweden. The Aus
tria building is built in the shape OF
a capital T, and Is surrounded by
gardens and fountains.
The exterior walls are adorned with
paintings. One thing we particularly
noticed in the Belgium building was
that there is not a single window In
it. Light and ventilation being secur.
ed by means of sky lights.
In the Chinese building we noticed
the fine carving, 1t being all hand work
and inlaid with ebony and ivory.
The Holland building is used mostly
to display paintings. among which was
the famous picture "Nightwatch,' y
painted by Rembrandt in the year
lo42.
Close to the Holland building is a
reproduction of Robert Burns cottage
In it we found many old relics, among
which were an old spinning wheel
chair, and an "ironholder" and sugar
basin belonging to his wife.
We visited the Missouri mines Of

zinc and lead and found them a most
unique and instructive exhibit,
Illustrating the actual occurrence OF
the famous Missouri lead and zinc
was done in the bowels of the earth.
Here we obtained specimens of lead,
calcite and zinc.
Near by is the model country school
erected by the state Of Missouri 1t is
indeed a model school as it has all
modern conveniences with the latest
maps, charts, and everything to pro-
mote education in the rural districts.
In the afternoon we visited the con-
cessions on the Pike. The first thing
was the Boer war and in the way OF
entertainment 1t is one Of the best
things we have visited. Its conception
is triumph of genius and Its setting
a work Of tragic art, its execution a
climax Of fascinating and captivating
entertainment. To make 1t more i'm
pressive the real soldiers and officers
from the armies were conspicuous in
the battles. One forgets that 1t is an
imitation instead of real battle. An
other interesting feature on the Pike
Is Hereafter" This is representa-
ton of "Heaven and He'll" In going In
to Hades one finds themselves in a
grewsome atmosphere. Here collins
are provided, a grave and solemn
monk appears and commands you to
follow him. He then conducts you
through the different parts. One of the
most interesting things in progress
was the punishment of abanded souls,
An amusing thing was man" hang
ing by his nose, representing man"
who is always poking his nose in other
peoples business. simultaneously one
is aware of change and one suddenly
finds themselves in paradise. Here one
hears chorus of beautiful voices.
Spectacular illusions tell the history
of certain incidents in the life of
christ.
Some other things we visited were
Hagenbeck's trained animal show. 1t
is one of the finest trained animal
shows on earth; Temple of Mirth, Irish
village; also the baby incubator, which
was very interesting. Our visits to
the Pike will be continued later.
OF the state buildings we visited
only Iowa, Kentucky, Washington, and
New York. In the New York state
building we saw the WARE piano,
which represents the water ways OF
New York
OF the larger buildings we have Wis
tied the palace of fine arts. machinery
manufactures, mines and metallurgy
United States fish and fisheries. This
building is devoted exclusively to the
display and exploration of the United
States fish commissioners enterprises
