EXHIBITS Are POURING IN
Manager Gilbreath and His AS.
sistants Busy Night and Day
Preparing Immense Show.
A more busy scene than that of the
interior Of the, North Dakota Indus
(. trial Exposition building these days
would be hard to find. There are all
kinds of workmen, from the common
1aborer, the carpenter, the plumber,
the electrician, and other classes OF
tradesmen, to the deft-tingered artist
arranging the various displays in a
manner which will surpass the most
extravagant anticipation.
A DeIuge Of Exhibits.
Al deluge of exhibits arrive every
day, and the entire building, from
basement to garret, is Uttered and
crowded with every variety of exhib-
it's imaginable. There are wagon
loads of sheafed grain; scores of
bushels of every variety of seeds in
the catalogue; corn galore; mercan-
tile, manufactured and canned fruits
and vegetables in endless array; veg
etables in superabundance and of ev-
cry variety; art and industrial exhib-
it's without end-all in a state of
chaos and bewildering quantities.
From early morning, long before the
average person has begun his daily
]abors, till late at night and after
many have retired Manager Gilbreath
and his assistants are engaged in the
endless task of Strengthening things
away and bringing order and beauty
out of the present state of ibedlam.
In another week the scene will be
changed and the exposition will be
almost ready for the public, and it
will be the most up to date, the most
extensive and most beautiful exhibit
ever shown in the middle northwest.
Dairy Stock Arriving.
Already the dairy stock has begun
arriving, and yesterday afternoon a
carload Of beautiful Holsteins was
unloaded at the Exposition dairy,
barns, where they will he kept till
the opening. 1t Is expected that there
will be arrivals in this class every day
from now on till the opening of the
Exposition. There will be q number
of young sires on sale during the Elk.
position, which will afford an excel
lent opportunity for those desiring
such animals.
Railroads Assisting.
So thoroughly have the railroads
become imbued with the fact that
these expositiOns are decided help
to the country, and that they are a
big factor in the diversifying of farm
ing and general development of agri-
cultural conditions, that they have
done a great deal towards encourag-
ing the project. Every railroad oper-
.ating in the state has agreed to give
both reduced railroad fare rates and
to transport all exhibits by freight
both to and from the Exposition. Not
only this, but the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern roads have
given $500 each towards prizes and
general expense. They realize that
the Improvement of agricultural and
industrial conditions in this state
means general betterment of bust
ness conditions. It may he said here
that Manager Gilbreath and the bust
ness men and citizens in general who
are interested in the Exposition fully
appreciate the liberality in the assist
ance of these companies.
Entertainments Galore.
There is going to he no end of en-
tertainment at the Exposition and
those who are looking for fun and en-.
tertainment will have had their fill
when they leave the Exposition each
day. The vaudeville attractions are
positively the very latest word in the
entertainment world for 1914. They
are all strictly first-class troupes and
positively clean, from beginning to
enc. There will not be single thing
which will not pass the strictest cen
sorship, all being refined and of the
highest class. There will be acrobats
and equillbrists, musical acts of ev-
cry description, from the. musical
moke to the technical artist; there
will also he Jubilee singers, strolling
minstrels, trained seals, jugglers and
a demonstration Of all the latest So
ciety dances by. expert artists; all of
these free. Aside from these, there
will be a carnival of side shows in the
big maehinery hall annex which will
satisfy the most tastidious. Manager
Gilbreath has paid over $1,000 more
for the vaudeville attractions this
year than he ever has before and,
judging from the excellence Of past
entertainments at the Exposition, this
assures the very best to be secured.
Especial attention is called to the
Musical Dairy" which act will take
place in the auditorium of the Expo
sition, music being brought out of
cows, milk cans, shovels, .churns,
brooms, etc. It is a winner Of the
first class.
In Conclusion.
Unless one has been over the en-
tire floor space Of the Exposition and
noted it's extent, he has no idea Of it's
expanse. There are three floors and
the basement, the big machinery hall
annex, the auditorium and the dairy
barns. Every foot will be utilized and
