Don't Hurry to Jamestown
W. 7. Dewey of Montpelier has re-
turned from visit to the jamestown
exposition. and the Montpelier Jour
nal says: "Of jamestown, Mr.. Dewey
does not speak in enthusiastic terms.
There all is confusion. A large part
of the buildings are marked to be
open in July and August. The Yer
mont building is not even marked.
No one with authority seems to be
about and everyone is waiting for
orders to do something. Mr.. Dewey
saw crate of Vermont exhibits lay
in the weather for several days, wait
ing for orders for some one to open
it and put the exhibits in shape. Of
the Vermont maple sugar Mr.. Dewey
speaks in the highest terms. 1t is
one of the greatest attractions of the
show. Ali scr5s and nationalities of
people visit it to taste of the famous
Vermont product and it is going to
advertise the state all over the coun
try. Mr.. Dewey did not see E. M.
Goddard who is attending to the
state building and exhibits, but heard
that he was On the ground. The Yer
mont building stands behind that of
Connecticut and is rather out of the
way. Most Of the other New England
states buildings are completed and
many of those of other states, but the
streets are in state of confusion and
the whole grounds bear the appear
ance of recsnt building operations,
with odds and ends lying about"
