GREAT NORTHERN PUTS ON

Minnesota to Have Big Representa-

The Great Northern Railways Pa
vilion at the Panama. Pacific" con.
veniently and prominently located on
the Marina, will be devoted entirely
to the Zone Of Plenty States along
it's ines-Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Or
egon- and to Glacier National Park.
The Zone of Plenty States will be
represented by detailed displays of
their champion grains, grasses, veg
etables and fruits and by a big pic
ture gallery, made up of oil paintings,
hand-colored transparencies and pho
tographic engagements, that will
faithfully portray their farms and or
chards, their dairies and market gar
dens, and their irrigation projects and
cut-cver lands. Glacier National
Park will be- represented by another
fine picture gallery, by re-
lief maps and models, an aquarium,
exhibits of it's wild flowers, specimens
of it's wild animals and by a band of
Blackfeet Indians. An auditorium in
which will be staged free movies of
both agricultural development in the
Zone of Plenty and of tourist life at
Glacier Park will be an important
novel feature of the Pavilion.
The particularly notable features
Of the "Zone of Plenty" exhibits will
be the bigger" potatoes that are to-
day an everyday product of the
Northwest, and the displays of corn
which will surprise many visitors who
have no conception that the Corn
Belt has been advanced to the "fur-
thest north" of the United States.
Four hundred jars Of the perishable
fruits of the Northwest and displays
Of it's "big red" apples will be an
"eye-opener" to even the California
people-who expect the California
fruits to easily lead at the EXPOSE
ton.
In these exhibits of agricultural
products and this picture gallery of
farm and orchard scenes Minnesota
has been allotted a generous share:
in fact the visitor to the Panama
Pacific" at the Great Northern Pa
vilion will find a brief yet complete
story Of Minnesota's agricultural and
home-making possibilities.
It is anticipated that several mil
lion Exposition visitors will attend
the displays in the Great Northern
Pavilion, and that through the Zone
of Plenty exhibit a tremendous num-
Der of people will for the first time
become acquainted with Minnesota's
many opportunities.

and St. Paul lines were shown to
have paid their dividends from sur.

companies had also paid dividends in
that year from surplus:
The Rock Island, $1,871,762; NJ. K.

St. Louis and Southwestern, $3,O84,375
and the Union Pacific, $74,020,372.
The grand total of dividends from sur
plus to shareholders on these roads
in 1914 was $79,S35,669.
''The point is simply this" re.
marked Mr.. Stone. IF dividends to
stockholders can be paid and are
paid from surplus in times of depres-
sion, why should not wage increases
for employees be made in the same
way?
An attempt by the railroads Friday
to d;scredit one of the brotherhoods'

ed mainly by Arbitrator Timothy

which contained in red ink additional
matter alleged to have been omitted
by the brotherhoods in their exhibit.
One Of the men quoted was w. l..

Central road and companies exhibit
indicated that all Mr.. Park had said
had not been used. There were other
similar instances.
1t was Mr.. Shea who discovered that
in the companies own exhibit matter
had been omitted and with this as a
basis President Carter informed the
chairman that wherever omissions
had been made in the brotherhoods'
pamphlet it had been indicated by as
terisks or series of periods. The ef-
fort, therefore, proved futile and
Chairman Pritchard suggested that
the companies proceed to a new ex-
hibit.

the foot of the grade There is just one
mile of this broken link in the high
way. and after reaching the other end
of the concrete road it is two miles
more before Gaithersburg is reached.
The mileage to this town is 171.5 miles.
Keeping straight through Frederick
avenue and crossing the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the rear
road through the town brings the
motorist onto the Rockville pike. BY
turning to the left at the railroad
crossing the motorist is taken through
the center of the town, where a good
macao dam road connects with the road
TO Rockville. The road later parallels
the railroad tracks and winds through
Rockville, the county seat of Mont
gomery county. Passing the court
house. in the center of the town, and
the fair grounds, at the southern end
of the town, the Washington Railway
and Electric trolley line is followed for
considerable distance in the direction
of Washington.
After a short run the trolley tracks
leave the highway, appearing again at
Bethesda, where they are recrossed
and again followed into the city. The
entrance to the National Capital can
be made either via Bradley lane and
Connecticut avenue extended or via
Massachusetts avenue extended. The
roads via either route are in good con-
dition and practically about the same
distance. The total mileage for the
two-day tour is about 1921 miles, of
which about $50 miles is macada mized.

the District line Is reached. The road

Hagerstown the road leads through
Funkstown, about three miles distant,
