GLORY FOR IDAHO.
The Agricultural Exhibit from
this State Takes First Honors
at St. Louis Fair.

The Idaho agricultural exhibit has
been awarded the grand prize at the
worlds fair. in st. Louis. This
means that in the estimation of an
impartial jury the agricultural dis
play from this state is the best in
the universe Idaho has thus OBJ
tanned the highest award it was pos
sible to secure for agricultural pro-
ducts.
In making the award the jury
considered the quality of the grain
and grasses and the manner in
which the exhibit was displayed.
Thus Commissioners and Mrs. Wes-
sells are rewarded for their painstak-
ing and artistic work in presenting
the magnificent products of the
Gem state.
"When the insignificant sum ex-
pended upon the Idaho agricultural
exhibit is considered says the
Boise Statesman, s'the winning Of
the grand prize is phenomenal
achievement. Many states spent
more upon their agricultural ex-
hibits alone than the entire applo
priation at the disposal of the Idaho
commission. Oregon, especially,
made the strongest kind of bid
tor the grand prize. The Web
footers' wanted the honor badly be-
cause of the prestige 1t would give
their state at the Lewis & Clark ex-
position next year. They had the
powerful backing of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company.
This company installed magniti-
cent exhibit, spending money right
and left to make the best possible
showing. All the while Mr.. and
Mrs Vessels were plodding along,
saving dollar here and dime
there and eking ont their little store
of cash, making it go as far as they
could. While other states employed
