Information Lacking.
The Reno Journal of Aug. 10. says
Professor Adams of the University of
Nevada, has returned from st. Louis
and after comparing the Nevada ex-
hibit at the Fair and the exhibit Of the
Chamber of Commerce, says the latter
is superior from an educational and in
structive point. Professor Adams says
that the Nevada exhibit at st. Louis is
fine in every particular, but that q per-
son intending to settle in Nevada could
get much more information about the
resources of the State from the Reno
exhibit than he could from the larger
display in st. Louis.
He says that he saw some very ex-
cellent Nevada products and that the
grains and fruits were arranged in an
attractive manner, but that there was
very little if any information concern.

quired of one another the amount of
each product an acre of Nevada land
would produce; whether the certain
product could be produced in all
portions of Nevada, and what the ex-
pense of production would be. I was
anxious to see how these questions
would be answered, and looked at the
different exhibits to see if I could find
cards telling the desired information,

cards are quite necessary if the State is

Found Nevada Building Closed.
H. D. Purdy of Currant Greek, who
returned to Eureka ON Aug. Is from a
trip East and to the Worlds Fair, said
in conversation with friends here that
he went to the Nevada Building two
times and found it closed. This struck
him as something unusual, and the
second time he made a few inquiries
about it, and was told that the Nevada
Building was only open on certain days.
Nevada Exhibit Poorly Managed.
From the Reno Journal of Aug. 81
the following is taken:
Frank Coffin, one of the engineers on
the United States Government survey,
returned yesterday from a two weeks
visit to the st. Louis Exposition and
says that he enjoyed his trip ever SC
much although he did not think much
of the Nevada exhibit. He said that on
various occasions he visited the Nevada
Building and took particular notice OF
the exhibit and that he was greatly dis.
appointed.
MI. Coffin said that in one instance
he visited the building in company with
a friend from the South and was aston
ished to see a negro oma playing on
the piano in the parlor. while others
negroes stood around and hummed rag.
time tunes. His friend was greatly
taken back by the sight and said. "Surely
this is not the parlor of the Nevada
Building"
On other occasions he visited the
building and found the doors closed.
He said that Mr. Yerington was sick on
these occasions, however. and that
there was no one to attend to the ex'
hibit.
In speaking of the exhibit, Mr.. Cofir
said +:
"There is a very fine exhibit of min
erals in the building. but it is not ar
ranged we'll. The exhibit is placed sc
that visitors can not readily see it and
there was no one in the building to ex
plain it. My friend and l visited the
building on one occasion and looked fol-
some one to explain the exhibit, but ]
may say that we were greatly disap
pointed. There were q couple of ladies
in charge of the building, but they did
not pay any attention to usand as
consequence we had to inspect the ex
hibit as best we could"
Mr.. Coffin says there is plenty Of
good material in the Nevada Building
bpt that it is not properly placed and
according to his views not properly
handled.
