WORLDS FAIR ATTENDANCE.

Tn IN Sep,ember IL the ST Louis Exposition had

time the total attendance IL O22,tS an aver
age daily attendance of 9c.3iS The attendance in
rhe week ending September IL was 10sI.3ls or an
average daily attendance Of 111,31S. This was the
first week in which the attendance exceeded mil
lion: but the growing popularity Of the Exposition
promises that it will be the last 10 have that
record.
The statistics clearly disprove the assertion thai
the Exposition is not attracting the public As Il
matter of fact the attendance at this Exposition
considering the population Of tributary territory s
relatively larger than that at former expOsitions
And what better illustrates the favor in which this
Exposition is held is the steady Increase In attend
ance from week to week and from month to month
On the one day when the Exposition was open in
April the attendance 1S1. 100. The attendance
in Nav 2s DAYS was 1OO1 ,2a1 in June. 2G days. .

steadily.
In the remaining days II should be possible to
have an attendance which easily will make a total
for the whole period Of more than 2n"o"o ine
worth of the Exposition is known now all over the
world Therefore 1t IL reasonable to expect large
attendance Of strangers. This is the season when
the pcopIe in the southern and western and northern
parts OF the United States get away from their
work. They have arranged to come at this time
The people Of ST. Louis. knowing that the end is
near. will make more frequent visits Everything
points to a very large attendance every week until
the close.
What the best expectations are founded upon.
however is the Exposition itself. The people well
realize that the Exposition is something which they
cannot AFFORD to miss seeing They realize fully that
il is what ST. Louis announced that it would be, the

ARKANSAS DAY.

The celebration which IS held today at the.
Worlds Fair by the high officials and 10y citizens Of
Arkansas acquires special Significance when it is
remembered that Arkansas furnished about ~ per
cent Of the timber which used in Worlds Fair
construction There Is reason for :ratification in
the thought that This State. which one of the
States carved from the Louisiana Purchase Terri
tory furnished part Of the material for build
ing the international exposition which commen-
CRATES the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase
Arkansas we'll exemplifes the wealth and pros
perity of the Louisiana Purchase Territory. The
territory cost the United States Sl5.ooo.0Jo. Each
year Arkansas timber alone produces an income con-
siderabiy larger than the price paid for the whole
territory. The railroad property in the State Is
worth considerably than the price paid for the
whole territory. The value Of the States minerals
is inestimable The manufacturing interests are
large and growing very rapidly: and agricultural
interests show like steady growth
Here is one State acquired from France which of
itself is worth many times more than the United
States paid for an empires breadth Of land. Here
Is one State which though prosperous already
has prospects unknown great are its natural re-
sources.
Arkansas Day at the Worlds Fair is significant
event not only TO the representatives and the cit-
zens Of Arkansas but tn the other Purchase States
and TO the whole country. The prosperity of Ar
kansas with IT'S resources only partly developed
points TO an exceptionally favorable future. And it
is evident that bright present condronh are the
