 BOARD OF WORLDS FAIR COM MISSIONERS.
 The board of managers for Arizona at the Louisiana Purchase exposition ] by earnest and consistent work made
 a most presentable display of the PrC-- ducts of Arizona at the worlds fair at ] St Louis. The exhibits from this ter
 ritory secured many prizes When the
 amount of the appropriation is con 1 sidered, the board of managers for Ari-
 zona made a showing equal to any state or territory.
 l The mineral exhibit has been boxed and returned to the territory prepara-
 tory to it's shipment to Portland. Ore | gon should it be the desire of the leg
 islature that representation he had at
 the Lewis and Clark centennial to be | held in that city from June 1st to GctO- | Der 18th, 1905.
 | I would respectfully recommend that a small appropriation be made to COW
 CT the expenses of an exhibit from this | territory at this exposition The apprO- l priation need only be the amount nee
 essary for the transportation to Port land of the mineral exhibit returned from the Louisiana Purchase expOsi- | tion. fer an exhibit of agricultural and Horticultural products of the territory.
 and for their care and maintenance during the life of the fair. I should | judge that the services of one cOmmis- | sioner would be sufficient as manager. | PIONEER HISTORICAL SOCIETY. | The maintenance of the Pioneer His | torical society is a matter of the ut
 most importance to this territory. for | the work begun by this organization
 must sooner or later be taken in hand | by the territory. Much data of his | toricaI interest has been secured and | preserved by the society in Tucson !
