COMMERCIAL INTERESTS
Affair viii be a Part Of the Awaken
Ing Of the Vast Commercial
Advantage Of Three
States.

Hazen l. Sawyer was last night
selected as executive head OF the big
celebration to be held here next sum
mer after the completion of the dam.
Mr.. Sawyer was named for the re-
sponsible position by the other mem
bers of the executive committee. The
selection of Mr.. Sawyer has met with
wide approval and he is peculiarly fit
ted for the big responsibilities he
will have to assume.
The committee also decided that
the celebration should be of national
and worldwide interest if possible
and that it should be an exposition OF
the commercial interests of the three
states, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
We want to make it a part of the
awakening Of the commercial inter
ests Of these three great states" said
Mr.. Sawyer, "and we want to make 1t
as national as possible to let the en-
tire world know Of the commercial
advantages offered by the vast terri
tory within the power zone in these
three states.
The committee will prepare a gen.
eral outline of the plan to be follow.
ed and present it within the nea,
future to another called conference Of
representatives of cities similar tc
the recent conference held here. The
task of carrying out the plans for 9
mammoth celebration entail great re
sponsibilitity upon the committee ant
much time to complete them SO tina
the definite outline will be adopted a.
soon as possible.
