Santa Re, May i6,-After visiting
and viewing the forty-thrce state
buildings at San Diego, II can be
truthfully declared that the New Mex
leo building at San Diego and the ex-
hibits housed therein, are more dis
tinctiye. more beautiful and more at
,ractNe than those OF any other state.
This is The more remarkable as many
of the state buildings involved expen-
ditures. ranging from $300,o0O TO
$2, 100000.
No matter from which entrance the
visitor to the Pane ama- California ex-
position approaches the beautiful ex-
position grounds. the New Mexico
building looms up pre-eminently at
once eliciting inquiry and receiving
praise. As consequence. the New
Mexico building is nearly always the
first state building to be visited and
generally draws the distinguished
guests Of the fair. The exposition
management is Unfortunately proud OF
New Mexico's display and never falls
to speak of II and those Responsible
for it in superIative terms. The regis
ter on last Tuesday, showed 635 svisi-
tors. or about so per cent of the yisi-
tors .si-
