In connection with this list Of
awards published by the Department
of Exhibits Of the Exposition it is
gratifying to read a letter received a
few days ago from Col. Henry e
Bosch, chief of that department., by
Executive Commissioner w. N. Steele.
The letter Is as follows:
Mr.. w. N. Steele, Executive Com
missioner, North Dakota, Agricultural
Building-My Dear Sir: 1t affords
me great pleasure to add my testi'
monial to the exhibit you have made
in the agricultural building, at u ex-
position, and right here I desire to ex.
press to you my most sincere thanks
for the interest you have taken in our
exposition, and the manner you have
! displayed the resources of your state.
The exhibit as displayed by you is not
! only unique, but most comprehensive,
and is artistically arranged, so that
any visitor may see at a glance all
that comes from North Dakota. This
exhibit is not only the best in the
building, but adds materially to the
interest of our exposition, and it can.
not help but prove beneficial to your
own state. AS you know, the thou.
sands of visitors who throng our
grounds are not all going to remain in
; Oregon. nor are all of the capitalists
inclined to make their investments on
the Pacific Northwest. Many of them
will drift to the high plateau regions
in which. you are located, and many
will be attracted to your state, princi.
pally on account of the magnificent
display you have made of the various
resources of your state, and I sim
cerely hope that you will be greatly
benefited by the exhibit you have
made. l assure you that when l say
this | am not only expressing my own
opinion, but am voicing the sentiment
of all the officials connected with this
exposition.
Adding my personal regards, allow
me to remain, most cordially yours,
Henry E. Bosch,
Director of Exhibits.
/ 1t will be seen, in looking ove the
awards, that a gold medal was award
ed the state for corn. This perhaps
needs some explanation. The corn
displayed was of the crop of 1905, and
was a most excellent sample. The
judges, numbering eleven, said in
making the award, that had the same
sample of corn been grown in what is
generally known as a corn state ii
could hardly receive a gold medal, but
when it is considered that such an
excellent corr is grown in North Da
kcta it is certainly entitled to a GOLD
medal. The effect of the award will
be to place confidence in the farmers
in regard to the growth Of corn in
North Dakota.
