FOR AN ARIZONA EXHIBIT
Visit of fCCmmiSSiOner Marshall ofthe
 Lewis Q Clark Exposition.

J. r. Marshall. special commissioner
 of the Lewis Ss Clarke centennial spent yesterday in Phoenix leaving for the coast or this mornings Santa Fe train.
 MT. Marshall visited Phoenix last sum
 mer. his purpose then being to awaken
 an interest in the exposition and through it induce Arizona to make an
 exhibit and perhaps erect a state building His visit this time was to add fuel to the flame he had pre- viously klndIed. He leaves feeling very well satisfied that Arizona, through her legislature. will give the enter prise careful consideration and act for her own best interest which he can construe only as being the making or a good exhibit and the building of a house if possible.
 MT. Marshall says the exposition en- l terprise is going along swimmingly. i They are already crowded for space and are using the blue pencil but of 1 course want the coast sections all rep 1 resented. It is to be mainly a great educational enterprise in which the entire west co-opeTdtes in show 1 ing the world as q preface to ! demanding her own in the way of inn migration, business development and political representation.
 ] all thar have preceded it in many re- | spects and in most features it is one
 in which the west will receive more di-
 rect benefits. First it will bring the people from the east to see the west l in it's own environment and those ] states who maintain proper represen- ] tation will be directly benefited by in- ducing the thousands Of visitors 70
 stop off on their way home and see l the sections they have been impress | ed with by the exhibits. These ar | rangements will be made feasible by ] the transportation lines. Again the i trip west will be a novelty to eastern l people who will see something they I have long wanted to see aside from the exposition and who are already i tired of travelling across their own l frequently traversed and thiclxly set | tied states. to see gathered together 1 nothing only a greater aggregation ot mills factories and products, largely ! of the same nature they are surround | ed with at home. It will all be new and instructive and the well establish 1 ed fact that people who once see the
 west, as a rule are never satisfied till
 they live in it. will do the rest.
 Of the novel features Of the exposi-
 ton itself there is space here for but
  i quire columns to tell it all. One thing
 though that Mir. Marshall dwells upon
 is the fact that there will be a better l display from European and Oriental countries than at St. Louis and space
 for these exhibits is already at a pre-
 mium. Russia for instance, who had no St. Louis exhibit. will make her i greatest world effort in that line at ] Portland The orient, in a commer- l ciaI way, is part and parcel of the 1 coast, and of course Will be given all | possible encouragement. California
 will excel herself and nearly all the western states have already arranged for special buildings. Mir. Marshall yesterday had a very pleasant inter
 view with Governor Brodie who seem
 ed to be very favorahly inclined to the making of a good exhibit by Arizona. He could not of course say what will be done previous to the meeting of the legislature, except that the exhibit made at St. Louis is still carefully i preserved boxed and ready for ship ment to Portland. and that he favors the making of a good exhibit, one that cannot do other than attract attention | to this part of the country.
