able to again meet with the "best

Letters are being sent out by the
secretary Of the North Dakota com
mission to every commercial club in
the state of North Dakota urging
them to make up and send to the
North Dakota building this fall en-
hibits of vegetables grown in their
immediate localities. 1t is hoped that
the response to these letters will be
more than generous, and that long
before the exposition closes the visi-
tors to the building viii be thorough
ly convinced that North Dakota raises
tie biggest and best vegetables in
tho world. d
I MI. and Mrs. F. ,B. Lynch, formerly
residents Of Casselton, N. H., were
welcome visitors at the North Dako-
ia building the other day. Mr. and
Mrs. Lynch now make their home at
San Diego, CAL, where Mr.. Lynch has
large lumber interests, but they will
never forget dear old North Dakota,
the scene of their true start in life.
The man-of-war row off the exposi.
ton is assuming larger proportions
Of late. The renowned Oregon has
now the company Of three gunboats
and four armored cruisers. North
Dakota visitors to the exposition are
taking the opportunity of visiting
these warships every day, and it is
really a are privilege for the deni.
zens OF a prairie state to go on board
them.
Ensign %. 0. Hagen of the United
States navy was a welcome caller at
the North Dakota building this week.
mr.. Hagen registered from Grand
Forks and was very anxious to meet
some of the people from that city.
MIR. Hagen is taking the examination
for the rank Of lieutenant, an das
soon as he gets his papers for this
post will be transferred to the South
Dakota, that is o lying off from
the North Dakota building here at
the exposition.
Competing against the traffic com
panies of the world, the Great North.
ern Railway company has just been
awarded a gold medal for it's display
at the Panama-Paclic International
Exposition. In making its desicion,
the judges took into consideration,
in addition to the display, the han
ding of passengers, the industrial
immigration bureau, the handling of
the fast freight traffic meth
DDS, the distribution Of literature,
and the daily lectures describing the
territory traversed. The company's
display, which is located in the Great
building at the junction OF
the Avenue of Progress and the Ma
rina, is devoted exclusively to the ex-
hibits of products grown along the
Great Northern line, and North Dako-
ia furnishes a great amount Of the
material for this comprehensive ex-
hibit. The exhibit has been arranged
with the prime idea Of conveying to
The observer an accurate idea Of the
Possibilities of the land in the states
,raversed by the Great Northern. The
opportunities for new settlers partic.
llarlys have been set forth by means
# the display and motion picture lee
lures. Artistic decorations have not
oeen Sighted in any way, although
hey have been made secondary to the
of the crops. 1t is but fair
o say the gentlemen in charge of
he Great Northern building and ex-
libit are doing all in their power to
advertise North Dakota, without un-
lue favoritism towards the state in
preference to the other states through
which Its lines pass.
