ARTS GOVERNMENT
AT LAGOON FAIR

SURPRISES aH others in beauty, SO, also,
does it in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forty acres, literally covered
with the treasures, the productions, the
curiosities of >4c world, tell the story
of the fair in a sentence. No one WIS.,
itor will ever see 1t all, though he
spent the full time the exposition is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $50,000,000 before its gates were
opened to the public; an exposition
to which 81 nations from gil cor
ners of the world have sent their
best for the people of the world
to look upon; an exposition t. 70 miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public we're invited an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American expositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which St. Louis celebrates the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase.
But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that 1t should at
tract by its size alone. They have
builded for beauty, as well as for big
ness, and who can stand in the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to q pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? 1t is
the. beauty, rather than the size Of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-
try, is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. It is a sentiment that is
fully exemplified in the imposing he
roic statues of the states that stand on
either side of Festival hall. These
statues typify, not the states of the
east, but these of the west, the states
carved out of the Louisiana territory,
the states that stretch from the gulf
to the Canadian border. from the Mis-
sissippi to Puget sound; states that
have within a century of time been
builded out of the Wilderness. It is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; it is these again that have made
the exposition possible. The lesson
they teach is written deep in the his
tory Of the nation. d.
To attempt an ltemlzed description
CT the wonders this expos. ion has
brought to the doors of the people of
the central west is impossible in the
space of a newspaper article. Twelve
thousand car loads Of exhibits found
space within the great palaces. It is
almost Impossible to realize what such
q statement means until one has gone
from. building to building, from ex-
hihit to exhibit. Nor is tie space in
the building wasted. Every niche is
filled with e~,1ething Of interest, and
the demand was for almost double the
amount at the disposal of the author
tiles. Some idea Of this may be had
from the statement that the breakfast
food manufacturers alone asked for
more space than would have filled all
the Agricultural building. covering 10
acres of ground, and with four miles
Of aisies.
To pick even the more interesting ex-
hibits is almost an impossibility, |

Everrreens as windbreaks.

There is no other wind-break equal
to an evergreen: Everyone will admit
that. but the number Of evergreens
planted in shelter belts is exceedingly
small. The popular idea that an ever
green is a very hard tree to make live
is an erroneous idea, as a number OF
our stock farmers who have tried it, and
know what they are talking about, will
testify. The horses, the cows, the
hogs, the sheep, and even the chickens.

All of the machines used in the
plant are driven by independent direct
current motors. the power for which
is transformed from $50 volts to 22O.
The gas for all heating operations,
such as annealing, melting. etc., is
manufactured by an Independent plant
situated outside the building, and so
arranged that it can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de-
signed and built especially for this
purpose.

posing the plant is a furnace which
supplies heat of 1000 degrees F. for
the melting Of metal alloys. Here the
metal is cast into ingots and washed
in dilute solution of sulphuric acid
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty five
thousandths Of an inch. This mill is
operated by a so horse power motor.
After rolling the strips are heated
in the annealing furnace to soften
them for the cutter.

before the roots are buried for winter.

plainel why the company wanted the
spur of track from Commercial Street
to York Street on Ninth Street. lie
said that the object was to take In the
Wisconsin Central freight station. he
stated that the original purpose OF the
company had been to lay the tracks
from Ninth Street along York Stree. to
the lake and the Goodrich Docks, but
that they had learned that York Street
was already occupied by n company
having franchise. He said that II
York street was not occupied the com
pany would prefer to go down it rather
than down Commercial street. The
members of the council were OF the
opinion that the street was still occu-
pied but the city attorney said he would
look the matter up Mr.. Torrison. who
was present was asked if he wished to
say anything on the subject. He re-
piled that, at present, it was difficult for
any one to say whether the presence of
the company in the city would be a
benefit or otherwise. He was not pre-
pared to make any remarks one way
or the other He asked, however,
whether the franchise on York street
was an exclusive franchise and how
long it had to run. He was Informed
that the franchise was for 35 years, but
no one knew positively whether or no
it was exclusive. The City Attorney
was requested to look the matter up.
Several other points in the proposed
ordinance were discussed and few
changes were made. The question OF
whether the tracks of the line should
be single or double was left for the
council to decide. Where the company
should find it necessary TO raise or lower
the grading Of the tracks above or be
low the surface of the street 1t should
so grade the street from curb to curb
that there should be no obstruction to
crossing or to traffic. Snch points as
MI McMullen declared were illegal
were stricken out until City Attorney
Schmitz should look them up and report
on them As the meeting was Informal
no official action could be taken. Mayor
Kemper had s. leave early in the eve
ming Alderman Bigel taking his place
in the chair. When the ordinance had
been read through, the meeting ad-
iourned. Mr.. Phillips left for Fond du
Lac Tuesday morning.

while, in the other case, the routes are
put through practically the entire coun-
