Since the Fair the day has been OBJ
served regularly, and with increasing
interest. This year the gathering was
of much more than local Importance.
It was made memorable by the pres
entation of the completed design and
plans for the erection at st. Louis
of a monument to Thomas Jefferson
in commemoratiOn of the acquisition
of the Louisiana Territory"
The quoted words are from an act
of Congress passed in March, 1908,
to encourage the movement More
than twelve months a commission has
been engaged upon the plans to be
submitted first to the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition directors, and, upon
their approval to the city of st. Louis.
Beginning with the assurance that at
least 100000 would be available, the
commission from time to time sub
mitted sketches of no fewer than five
different designs.
Plans Are Approved.
The subject of a fitting monument

acquisition of the Louisiana Territory
grew upon the minds of the commits
sion and of the board of directors OF

The commission was given increased
latitude. The result was that ths
monument as presented at the ami
versary dinner this year will oost
twice as much as the original esti
mate. The directors by a unanimous
vote approved the plans and directed
the Executive Committee to carry
them out upon receipt of the approva

Today's announcement was
