IDAHO A FEATURE.
Thousands View Magnificent Display
at Pittsburg Land Show.

The first three days of the big land
show at Dequense garden were not
ably successful both in character of
display and attendance. Moreover, it's
quality is such that the popularity of
this splendid collection of the earth's
fruits is sure to grow immensely
from now until it's close on October
2S.
This is country show in all it's es-
sential elements, and, while it appeals
to city people by it's uniqueness, it's
appeal to dwellers on the soil is
through the intimacy of f miliarity
But take these words from it, no one
ought to miss this land show. It's
beauty, it's music by the Nirella and
Hawaiian bands, it's value as pr cti-
cal lesson of the manifold blessings
which the land confers, it's lofty artis-
tic plea, as whole and in detail, its
presentation of products from distant
states, all unite to make it, an import
ant aspect, both a school and stu
dio. 1t is the equivalent of a visit in
person to the districts and localities
represented. The colorings are brill
liant. The wonderful capacity of the
soil for providing material for picture
building, and lesson teaching is mar
velously illustrated.
Big audiences have been attending
the free half hourly illustrated lee
lures in the garden hall. The pro-
gram for tomorrow includes the fol-
lowing speakers and subjects:
why the Wyoming Farmer is Pros
porous" Roy w. Schneck; California
and It's Opportunities" Francis Hope;
'Sheep Husbandry of West Virginia, .
Samuel c.. Gist; Opportunities in the
Golden State" Colonel P. e. Holp.

servation,' by Don Carlos Ellis of the

and G. S. Faurot, on Idaho; by Col
onel B. E. Rice of Norfolk, on "Why
Living IS Worth While in Virginia
and the Carolinas."
These lectures are all magnif1centiy
| illustrated, some with moving pictures
and some with steroptican views, and
| they cost the visitor nothing. They are
the highest literary and artistic quail
| ity Great crowds attended them dur
ing last years show, and no doubt the
opportunities this year will prove equ-
ally popular.
All the booths in this show merit a
great deal more than merely casual
attention from visitors. They deserve
to be carefully inspected and studied
for a great deal of time and money
was spent in their preparation. They

the style of rude collection for To-

sands of dollars were consumed in de-

for instance. 1t Is an allegory about
that great and growing state of the
wonderful west.
All the work on it was done in the
state of Idaho before shipment of the
materials to Pittsburg, under the di
rection of Miss Marie l. D. Irwin.
