of pottery, grains. grasses and other
materials, which will thus be readily
available at minimum cost for trans
portation AS the capital city 1t is
also the official home of the state edu
cational department which will be in
active evidence during the period OF
; the exposition. Geographically, Bis
mark is better situated to be reached
by a, larger number of people of the
state at reasonable cost for railway
transportation than any other city in
the state, in addition to which arrange
ments vii be made with the different
railways for special rates during the
exposition period. So. from every
point of view, the enterprise starts
out with the brightest guarantee of a
successful outcome.
The exposition itself will be primar'
lily an exposition for the most advan
tageous and effective display of the ag-
ricultural, mineral and dairy prod.
ucts of the state. in conjunction with
educational, domestic art and scientific
/ departments; and to secure the sue
cess of the undertaking along these
basic lines will be the dominating
: thought and endeayor OF the manage
ment. Already twenty-five different
departments have been outlined in
strict accord whit he main objects
of the exposition and the visitor may
! feel assured in advance that he will
leave Bismarck at the close of his Wis
it with IA broader, more comprehensive
and enlightened conception of the
great agricultural and industrial state
in which he lives.
The impression must not be gath
cred however. that this will be a
sombre, dry. and uninteresting session
of highbrows and scientists. In solemn
conclave assembled for the discussion
of weighty scientific topics. Nothing
is farther from the conception of the
mana 9 ement than such an idea. On
the contrary the undertaking is con-
ceived on tl.ep Ian Of popular instruc-
ton conveyed by attractive and beau
tifuly arranged displays, combined
with entertaining talks from skilled
orators whose special aims it will be
to avoid technicalities while conveying
to their hearers the true inwardness
and practical utility of the matters
whereof they speak. There will also
be vaudeville ATTRACTIONS. moving pic.
lures and other amusement features
to fiji in the many moments of relax
alton from the more serious objects
of the exposition.
The exact date has not yet been de.
cided upon, but it will be announced in
ample time for every citizen OF the
state to make arrangements for his
with his wife and family
and next door neighbor. 1t is desired
to fix this date at such time as will
find the farmer with the great bulk
of his years work behind him, with
crop in the granary or on the way to
market and fall blowing we'll under
way or completed, so that he may
with feeling of complac-
ency the exhibits which. will be offered
for his instruction, and rejoice that
they represent the progress. intellec-
tual and material accomplishment of
the state in which he lives, and which
he has helped by his own Drawn and
brain to place at the head of the agri-
cultural states of the Union.
The exposition is under way; and
Bismarck. as hostess, extends to all
citizen and alien. resident of the state
Of North Dakota, homeseeker and
neighbor. a welcome and handshake.
and an invitation to meet the world
and his neishbor at Bismarck when
the first exposition of the Missouri
slope opens it's doors this coming
fall.
