COMMISSIONERS REPORT,
Details From the Nevada Exhibit Are
Filed and Approved.

theWorld's Fair was held at the Gov
errors Office Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting was called on order to
go over the details Of the affairs that
arise when a State goes into a show
as big as the one that is to be On
the tapis this summer. MIR Yerington,
who has just returned from the east
and who made personal inspection ,
of Nevada's building, gave his views !
and made a detailed report OF the
conditions.
The building is completed and has |
been accepted, the debts discharged |
and the contracts let for the con-
structiCn of the booths at the Mnlrg |
ers were turned in and the Board |
ers We're turned in and the CBard |
approved the action of the Commlss- |
toner's.
From the plans that were submit
ted and the ones that were selected,
it seems that Nevada is going to
shine pretty we'll in the big show
The space has been increased over
the original and changed to more
favorable locality. This was done 1T
the request of Mr.. Yerington.
The one item that most concerned
the members of the board was the
funds that will be necessary at the
time of the show. AS it is now, the
lX,t tofn
decidedly insufficient for the magni-
tude of the display that has become
necessary and as was before stated
in the Appeal, the Commissioners have
decided to make an appeal for fnan-
cial aid to the different counties in
the State. The counties have each
received the appointment of COM
mittee who are requested to make a
petition among the business and f.
nancial people of the different local
tiles, in order that funds may be rails
ed, whereby this State may make such
a showing as she is entitled to.
Petitions have been forwarded 20
each county as follows:
Carson City, Nevada, Feb. 20, 1904.
Owing to the great scope Of the St.
Louis Worlds Fair and the limited ap-
preparation at the command Of the
Neveda State Board of Commissioners
in order that the State exhibit may
compare favorably with the surround
ing States in the installation and main
tenance thereof, to properly admins
ter the affairs of the State building,
and to make provision for distributing
literature showing our present devel-
opment and future possibilities, and
thoroughly advertising the natural and
industrial resources of the State, ct
meeting of the State Board Of
Worlds Fair Commissioners held this
day at the office of the Governor, it
was
Resolved, That committee be ap-
pointed in each county for the plr-
pose of raising a fund through public
subscription to enable the Board to
carry on it's work in a creditable man.

bury.
As will be seen the idea of financiel
assistance is to provide for addition
ad advertising matter, the one thing
that this Satte needs. Should the funds
come in as they should, this one item
will be Of more benefit to this State
than any thing that happens at the
exposition Each county is represented
in the illustrations and descriptions
of surroundings, so that no one cOun-
ty or place will suffer by comparison
with the other. It is simply a matter
to help the State, not the individual.
There will be need for every cent
that can be raised by such means and
the more that Nevada can raise, the
better she can compare with the OF
her States that are making a great
showing, and each is endeavoring to
Guido the other.
Mr.. Yerington expects to leave for
the east in few days, where he will
personally superintend the unpackins
of the specimens that have been for
warded to st. Louis.
