building. which was to be used as a
permanent agricultural hail.
Advertise Kansas.
E. H. Crosby was one who took a
particular interest in the building. Mr..
Crosby said today:
kansas is distinctively an agricul-
tural state. We have astounded the
world with our wheat crop this season.
and we should have state building
where permanent displays could be
arranged, which would make it inter-
estipg for the travelling public to stop
off at Topeka to see at almost a
glance the agricultural and mineral
resources Of the state.
Space should be allotted in the
building to each one of the 1O5 cOun-
ties for individual county displays. 1t
would not be a Topeka building. but
a state institution representative of
every section of the state. The county
exhibits should be under the general
supervision of the State Agricultural
Henry J. Waters about the plan some
time ago. and he was enthusiastic
over it. The State university should
be. interested. too. This is my dream
j. C. Hollands Ideas.
Mr.. Holland said: 1.-The building
would be a shell, but a fire-proof she'll
The hall could be arranged SO that big
state gatherings could be held. and q
seating capacity of fifteen or twenty
thousand could be provided. The dis
plays would be arranged along the sides
of the building and the Offices would be
off from the balcony. 1t would be a
great advertising feature for Kansas If
the building could be opened next year.
and arrangements were made SO the
people could stop off on their way to
the exposition at San Francisco.
MY suggestion would be to have the
building face on Seventeenth street
with broad approaches. This would do
away with the present agricultural
hall.
Would Donate Material.
II believe that with proper effort
put forth it would be possible to have
brick. cement, tile and other materials
donated. Several years ago I talked
with brick and cement manufacturers
Of lola. Chanute and Independence.
and they indicated that they would be
willing to donate literally.
We have much to show in the state,
and every portion of the state has a
like interest in this proposed exhibit.
Every county should have space for
classified exhibit that would be perma
nent. My idea would be to call on each
county to Sentd a representative to
meet in Topeka to discuss the PLAN
The accompanying cut is from a
drawing of the front elevation of the
building which was designed by Mr..
Holland early in 1906. The building was
to have been used in the proposed Kan

a permanent agricultural headquarters.
