consisting of grains, grasses IN sheal'
fresh fruits and processed fruits a
very creditable exhibit OF lumber
products, scenic views and mineral
products.
The counties of Ada, kootenal
and Nez Perez deserve much credit
both for their exhibit and the energy |
they are displaying in bringing pro-
ducts Of Idaho to the notice OF the
world at large. Shoshone's mining
exhibit is magnificent and extensive,
Washington county has a small
but attractive exhibit of grains and
grasses in sheaf.
The state exhibit Of grains, grasses
in sheaf and grains in jars is very
creditable and the quality extra fine;
the same can be said OF fruits in jars
as a share of the state exhibit. These
a e all the counties SO far represent
ed.
The school work of the state is
second to none and it deserves much
comment, would our space allow.
The miniature Of the Lewiston Nor
NAL is very pleasing and instructive
representation.
The art department in charge Of
: Mrs. Rossi. is especially fine and it
is one of the most artistic displays in
, the grounds.
: In passing, we would say that we
understand that many Of the coun-
ties not heretofore represented have
made appropriations and will have
: their exhibits here very shortly. Hae
; this been done earlier, no doub
y there would have been no ground!
:, for complaint.
,, The illustrated lecture conducted

French, although but three week
old and very small, does demonstra'

ID cannot commend this feature to

ID A deplorable condition exists
e. the advertising department both Il
y lack of literature and space for di
to tributing the same, both being e.
ch trely beneath the dignity Of Il
"a state. This should be corrected, e
re pecially because the exhibits SO t
on Of necessity consist largely Of grail

to the stranger that these are Idaho
principal products. The lack Of co
:. storage exhibits makes it absolute
