charge regretted the fact that he could
not get them, and stated that large
photographs would be of great assist

the section shown.
1.-THE Idaho ore exhibit in the palace
of mines and metallurgy was good, but
certainly not made SO by ore from the
Lewiston country. The man In charge
told me that he had personally visited
this section and found several good
ore exhibits which should be sent TO
San Francisco. He had asked that
they be sent and furnished labels for
their shipment, but the ore had not
come.
state Not Fairly Represented.
ssThere is something radically wrong
about the state OF facts referred to
above Where the fault is am un-
able to say. 1t is my impression that
the Lewiston country produces grains
and fruits equal and possibly superior
to anything shown at the great inter-
national fair. Yet that impression VIII
certainly not be conveyed by the in
ferior products shown or the total lack
of exhibits from this section. The ex-
hibition at San Francisco does not
close TIL December 4. There Is still
time to remedy this condition Of af-
fairs, and to enable the lewiston
Charleston valley and surrounding coun-
try to reap the benefit which Is sure
to come from making suitable show
ing at the fair we are assisting to
maintain. Here Is an unlimited oppor-
tunity for publicity work at very
small expense. The information dis
seminated in this manner reaches the
class who are interested and will bring
results.
"There is firm which has been do

lands in northern Idaho. The man In
charge of the horticultural exhibit at
the exposition told me that during the
last ten days fifteen different persons
had called on him to find out and see
what could be raised on these lands.
and subsequently made arrangements
to come to Idaho and investigate.
Cheese Exhibit That Won Prize.
ut does not take any great quantity
to make an effective display A good
example of this fact is the cheese ex-
hibit from Idaho which took the med
al OF honor. All the cheese exhibited
from the Gem state could easily have
been carried In an ordinary suitcase.
The state of Wisconsin had an extern
sive exhibit. Its cheese industry was
represented by an immense sphere.
