Seattle, July 5.-After viewing the
miles upon miles of prairie land in
North Dakota; the picturesquencss
of the Bad Lands. the gradually slop-
ing hills up that famous old peak,
Mt. Baldi; the dizzy view into the
valleys as the train circles the noun
tain tops; the peacefulness as it again
drops to lower level in the beautiful
valleys of Idaho and eastern Wash
ington. and then crossing the Cas-
cades, the traveller from North Da-
kota arrives in Seattle filled with
wonder and astonishment at all he
has seen.
But the wonder and astonishment
does not cease here. Taking street
car or automobile to the Exposition

Ing feats which in some respects sur
pass what has already been seen in
his trip across the northwest The

pendous nature Of the work can only
be realized by seeing it.

| The North Dakota legislature made
f, no preparation for an exhibition at
the fair. and, it is worth mentioning
here. that U. S. Marshal Shea while
in the city short time ago expressed
regret that Dakota had made no show
ing at the exposition. This regret
has been expressed by many others
from the Flickertail state who have
/ seen the exhibits.
| Uncle Sam has, however, taken
+, care that North Dakota should not be
entirely forgotten, and in the en-
hibit of mineral products in the gov
ernment building has included num-
ber of samples of Ignite and matter
pertaining to it. There are also a
number OF Dakota farming scenes and
exhibits in the agriculture section of
. the government building.
