~ for 1912. Already a splendid pre-.
MUM list is being secured, and many
premiums are being received daily.
Mr. Gilbreath stated that a good many
people thought they knew how to run
an exposition, and told of receiving a
letter from very warm personal
friend who outlined perhaps his own
exact views regarding the 1912 exposi
ton. Mr.. Gilbreati read the letter,
which in part, was as follows:
Letter to Gilbreath.
w. C. Gilbreath,
Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: l am in receipt of your
favor of previous date in which you
have requested me to 60 into details
as to what would advise with refer
ence to the second annual North d.
kota Industrial Exposition as to ar
rangement of space, buildings and adj
ditions to the several departments.
Last year I spent three weeks in
Bismarck studying your plans and
methods with view of conducting a
similar one in our state. I also Wis
tied you recently and you went over
with me your plans for the future,
and now you write for detailed state
ment as to what l would advise you
to do under tho circumstances" l
realize that this may be presumption
on my part, but am going into de-
tails and will review the whole stu.
alton and present to you my view Of
it and suggest to You what would do
if were in charge of that exposition.
Secured Dairy Barn
I understand that you have secured
the barn from the city and county,
and that you have q contract with
those two corporations and will move
it to a new location, and will fit it
up for dairy and poultry purposes.
would advise that you secure from
manufacturers the stanchions used in
all we'll regulated dairy barns. and
have everything Of modern use to
60 with the barn, so as to make it
model dairy barn with all the lat
est Improvements in that line.
would suggest that you also get the
very latest Improvements and con-
veniences for your poultry exhibit.
SiIos Will 30 Built
One of the interesting features con
nected with the dairying exhibit will
be the building of silos while the
Exposition is in progress, so as to
interest the farmers who attend, and
I believe this lilo construction will
bring them to Bismarck, if they are
really interested in their own welfare.
! would suggest the erection of three
silos, so as to give those who con-
template building in the near future
an opportunity to Judge the merits of
each, and then make their own
choice. You told me you had pro-
position from an eastern firm to erect
a wooden silo. While in Bismarck I
had talk with Warden Hellstrom,
and he informed me that he contem-
plated making a special brick for
this purpose, and he also told me
that ae had built brick silo at the
penitentiary last fall, and that it
gave entire satisfaction. I under
stand the warden will build brick
silo before and one during the expo
sition to show the people how it is
done, and what it looks like when
completed. I know that you will not
encounter any obstacle in construct
irg concrete silo because of the lib
erality of the Standard Portland &C.
ment Company's donating practically
a car load of cement.
Secure Good Herd Of Cows
/ am we'll aware that you will have
some difficulty in securing a good
herd Of COWS, but as the railroads
will give free transportation, and you
will furnish shelter and caretakers,
