Stock Pavilion and Grand Stand
on the Fair Grounds.
viii Ask For 500, 900.

will ASK tor $1OO,VOO.
Secretary w. r. Mellor Of the state
board Of agriculture II planning to ask
the next legislature for 100000 for
q large stock pavilion ON the state fair
grounds. The board Of agriculture is
now gathering information relative to
the cost and size Of building suit
able for that purpose. An appropria'
ton of 100000 will be needed II a
building similar to those used in other
western states is erected. Secretary
Mellor also desires to start a new
steel grand stand for the track, but
is not positive that the legislature will
be asked to appropriate money for
the stand. A live stock pavilion Is
greatly needed, the little structure
now used for that purpose being too
small and is now used only for show
ing horses. The cattle were shown
in a tent at the last fair.
Missouri spent $4,000 for stock
pavilion and Minnesota paid $4,000
for one without seats. A steel grand
stand of reinforced concrete cOnstruc-
ton, made in accordance with the lat
est plans, with a seating capacity OF
$4,000, would cost $3.50 600.
The Iowa state board wants to build
a larger stock pavilion and a steel
grandstand. Secretary ]. C. Simpson,
accompanied by President Cameron
of the Iowa board, took an achitect
NTH <hor, m, a rocopx trim fo own mine
structures at the Michigan fair
grounds. and the Canadian national
exposition at Toronto and examined
a steel grandstand at Belmor>, N. Y,
Secretary Simpson, writing to Secre-
tary Mellor, said:
Il think the Nebraska state fair
has a great future. have heard much
complimentary mention made of your
fair from exhibitors and visitors alike
With the growing attendance which
you have at your fair, it would be my
opinion that you would want a stand
seating capacity at the present time
of from 5000 to 10000, and left in such
a way that you could add to 1t later.
GAS you probably know. the stock
pavilion on our grounds Is much too
small for our purpose, and If building
at this time there are quite a few
changes which We would make in the
construction. Each of the stock build
ings which we have erected since ours
has been improved upon. Our build
ing is an exact reproduction of the
one on the Illinois state fair grounds
and was butt the following year. Next
Missouri built one then Minnesota.
Wisconsin, Indiana and Kentucky at
Louisville. I think the pavilion on
the Indiana state fair grounds at In
dianapolis is probably the most per-
Feet of any that has been constructed.
1t cost them in the neighborhoOd of
100000 to $4,000. Our building was
built in 1902 and cost about $4,000.
The outside dimensions are 175x225.
the ring being 12Ox17O. The main
thing we have to complain of in our
building is that the seating capacity is
not half large enough. We contem-
plate at some future date adding an
other 100 feet in the length of this
building, taking down the outside
walls and rebuilding them to increase
the seating capacity"

The Carat.

This tiny standard of weight. al
though not one person in a million
ever makes practical use of it, pos
sesses great prestige because Of its
connection with diamonds and other
precious stones. But how many read
ers have any clear idea of the weight
represented by a carat In England it
is customary to reckon 151k carats
to the ounce, Troy. This makes the
carat equivalent to 2O5.3 milligrams, or
3.16S3 grains. An attempt is now be-
ing made to secure general recognition
in all countries Of a metric standard
carat of 200 milligrams.

It wasn't. In fact, the proposition is

AndreaS VS.. Jensen.


District Judge Stewart rendered
judgment in the case of Fred Andreas
vs. Louis Jensen ct al Andreas is
the man who furnished the cut stone
for the Temple building and Jensen
was the contractor who built the struc-
ture. Plaintiff sued for $7,663.O7. less
the amount of freight which had been
paid by defendant on stone, alleging
that Jensen had failed to pay him that
balance due on material furnished in
compliance with the contract between
them. Jensen in his answer set up the
allegation that he had been greatly
damaged by delay in delivering the
stone and specified the different ways
in which he had sustained damage.
Judge Stewart finds that there is due
the plaintiff from the defendant the
sum of $4.O95.6S and that there was
due the defendant from the plaintiff
on the various items set out In his
cross petition the sum of $i.434.5O;
that there is therefore now due plain
till from defendant the sum of $2,661.-
Is, with interest amounting to $325.99,
making q total of $2,987.17.
