from the press demonstrations last
week the next most important event
at the P-P-I-E was the dedication Of
the Argentine Republic building. This
building is one of the finest on the
grounds, and the evident cordiality
manifested by those in charge who
speak for the republic as a whole, and
not only for the Argentine Republic
but in a measure for South America,
augurs we'll for future trade relations
between this country and South Amer
ica Leading financiers of the Pacific
coast are doing an important work in
the way of bidding for the South Amer
lea trade which will be of vast ben
eft to the entire Pacific coast.
Idaho Mining Exhibit Best
A casual inspection of the mining
building will convince anybody that
the Idaho mining exhibit is among the
best, if not the best, of the magnificent
collection gathered inside this build
ing from all parts of the world.
Mr.. Herbert Lemp of Boise sized the
situation very we'll when he said that:
'Taken all in all Idaho exhibits in the
various buildings were the very best
-of all"

it in the building of mines is about
60x7O feet. The display is well placed
and has striking effect. The inform
alton is given on card in effect that

county representing an annual output
all told as follows: Silver, fine ounces,

Many Fine Pictures

of Silver City, Arrow Rock, and Burke,
and a large birds eye view of Haley.
The display of the Boise sand stone
makes very fine impression as It.
shows the architectural possibilities OF
the Boise building stone. There is no
such stone shown anywhere else i'll
the exposition.
The various mining counties OF the
state deserve great credit for the dis
plays furnished. Visitors ponder long |
and carefully examine the various ex-
hibits and express themselves often on
the register in most complimentary
terms.
Idaho in the Movies
Executive Commissioner Czizek has
evolved a new idea in connection with
the picture show proposition which
will be put on here in a short time.
Even the best pictures shown SO far
on the grounds are very slimly at
tended. The lectures are given to
very few people. Noting this Commits
sioner Czizek suggested to those in
charge of the various picture shows
on the grounds that they pool their
issues and give their shows one day
at one building and another day at an
other and all hands be invited to at
tend This seems to meet with gener-
al approval and arrangements OF that
kind are now being perfected. This
ARRANGEMENT will furnish large aud
fence at each display of the pictures
and vii answer very fully the end for
which the show is designed. 1t GER
tainly is important that we get as
much good as possible out of the $22-
600 expended for the moving pictures
of Idaho's varied industries.
Idaho People There

istered at the Idaho building recently

Vollmer has been at Los Angeles dur
ing the winter on account of his t
health and made flying trip to San
to see the great exposition s
