passed through in getting there, and
that he was more than yer salts.
fed that he had made no mistake
when he had pinned his faith to
North Dakota a number of years ago.
He told Of how he had come to the
state and made Investments against
the advise Of his friends and how 1T
had been proven that he was in the
right and his friends in the wrong.
Mr.. Gilbreath in giving a little his
tory OF the origin of the North d.
kota Industrial exposition idea told
of how the state had first made an
appropriation for the exploitation of
the resources Of the state at fairs
in other states and how it was at
first hard to get people to believe
that the country was capable of pro-
ducing such crops as he claimed and
Of which he showed samples. He ex.
planned how after a time the simple
taking of exhibits to other fairs lost
its effect and he conceived the idea
of a home show. The commissioner
called attention to the success that
has been. made of the South Dakota
corr palace and of the thousands of
people it attracted to the state m
nually and stated the belief that the
Industrial Exposition could be made
as great a factor for good in our
own state as was the corn palace in
our sister commonwealth. Mr.. Gil
breath stated that he knew for an
absolute fact that as a result of the
first exposition there had been over
seven million dollars invested in
North Dakota and that it was i'm.
possible to estimate what would re.
suit from the show next month with
the conditions so much more favor.
able this year. The manager of the
exposition made a passionate plea
for all to join in with him and the
other workers to make the expOsi.
ton a success and stated that it was
only for their W good that he was
asking It, as a successful show would
mean as much and more for them
as for any other part of the state.
He closed by telling a story which
illustrated the fix in which En-.
mons county was at the present
time on account OF the fact that it
had not as yet made any prepare.
ton for making an exhibit. The ap-
plause which followed the talk of Mr..
Gllbreath vas long and loud and was
taken as al evidence that his re.
marks mad touched the right spot
and there Is little doubt but that
good will result from his address.
