ESTIMATE OF NEEDS FOR FRUIT DISPLAY More 'I'llnil One-Truth of Slnlr Aipru- Iirlnllnn AxUril I'or to Mnkc mi i\lilhlt In Thin llruncli. The Nebraska Exposition commission con vened yesterday afternoon In Its regular hi- ' monthly meeting. The meeting will continue today and the possibility of a session tomor row has bMn suggested. The first business taken up by thc > board yesterday was the receiving of ft delgatlon from the Nebraika Horticultural society. The delegation comprised President Q. A. Marshall , E. F. Stevens of Crete and Peter Youngcrs , jr. , membsrs of the executive board of the state society. The request of the society for a part of the state appropriation to aid It In making an exhibit of horticultural products ot Ne braska was presented by Mr. Stevens. He Mli the report he had to present hid been made up by the executive board after seri ous consideration and was considered a very conservative estimate. Ho * dwelt especially on the amount of labor Involved In gathering desirable nnd perfect specimens of fruit of r.ll kinds. He said that lesp than 5 per cent of ordinary commercial fruit Is sul'ablo for exhibition purposes , and this makes It nec- e'liary to haodlr- the fruit a number of tltnc.i In order to sort out all spotted or damaged fruit. Mr. Steven ? fnld that after considering all these points the horticulturists had concluded that their previous estimates would have to be increasd rather than lowered. As an Il lustration of the value of care In selecting fruit , Mr. Stevens produced a biskpt of grapes containing about a dozen bunrhcn of different varle'los , each bunch bring wrapaed by Itself In tissue paper , Thee bunches were each perfect and pressntcd a very tempting nppeararce. Ho also produced from nnothtr basket a few apples , each wrapped In paper. While these appeared to bp perfect specimens of fruit. Mr. Steven * pointed out blemishes , which he said would count against the fruit in a contest for pre miums. With these object lessons before the com mission , Mr. Elevens proceeded to read t'ie following detailed estimate of the expense ? necessary for a horticultural exhibit : ym fept of space $1.000 Shelving nnd decorating fine ir.0 barrels of npnlea nt $4 3/W WO barrels of npnles at $3 WO 210 cratns strawberries at $1 . . . WO 240 crates raspberries at ? 4 fW "in crnKs li'irkl > prrlp i nt Jl . . . WO 210 crates rherrlea nt $ .1 720 00 crMes plums nt $3 l,2f ) 1 .W ) bipkets pennhea nt f > 0 rents. 7"0 I.OfV ) baskets grapes at 40 cents. . . 1,200 Pears , apricots , poooseberrle0 , cur rants , etc n.0 O < ild storage of npples nt $1 per barrel " " 0 Total $11,500 Mr. Stevens explained the prices quo'eil by saying that the quality of fruit ne-ea- Jary for exhibition purposes is worth thre or four times as much as ordinary fruit Jtr > explained the apparently large quantity by siylng that it would be necesarv to chingc the- fruit frequently In order to keep It fresh and this would require a superintendent and assistant and two laborers. The salary of these men was not Included In the estimate given. The matter was informally dlseusfcd , but no action was taken , as all theii ? ejtlnntcs will be taken up at once In executive session when all are received. Mr , Stevens Impressed upon the board the importance of getting the work ot collecting apples started at once before the apples ore fully matured as they keep better in thit ceodltlon in cold storage. He said that GOO va rieties of apples ought to be obtained and that It would be necessary to visit about 500 orchards to secure them. FOII NEBRASKA FLOWERS. L. C. Chapln of Lincoln , a member of the Nebraska Floriculture society , appeared be fore the commission to present th ? request of the society In making a floral exhibit. He said that the florists estimated thJt 2,000 feet of space would be required to make a creditable exhibit. The cost of this display. Including the coat of the space and the ex pense of transporting the j > .antfi and flowers to the exposition , and the salary of a super intendent and such assistants as would be required , would not exceed. In the Judgment of the florists , $2,500 or $3,000. Mr. Chapln explained that the florists would not make any charge for the plants , but would simply want to be paid for the expense of packing them and transporting them to the grounds. Thla matter was laid over to be taken up later. The commission adjourned at this point for supper , and when 'It convened In the evenIng - Ing Superintendent Johnson of the agricul tural department reported what he had been elolng since his appointment. He said he had secured some specimens of oats , wheat , al falfa , clover and other small grains , but re ported that the farmers are too busy harvestIng - Ing their Immense crops and selling dollar wheat to stop and gather praln for the ex position or anything else but the market. Superintendent Foster of the live stock de partment reported progress In his depart ment , but Eald he had not been able to do much , because the rules regarding live stock have- not been formulated. Ho was Instructed to confer with Superintendent Dlnsmore re garding this matter and report to the com mission what 'la necessary to DO done. L. C. Chapln of Lincoln was appointed su perintendent of the floral department. It was decided to ask tne State Board of Agriculture for a room for headquarters for the commission et the fair grounds , so that an exposition sentiment may be worked up among the patrons of the fair. All superin tendents under the commission were In structed to attend the ststo fair and make themselves acquainted with exhibitors and endeavor to secure exhibits. Th commission will meet President Wat tles of the exposition at 8:30 : o'clock this morning and accompany him to the exposi tion grounds to discuss the question of a location for the state building. SPACE FOR COUNTY EXHIBITS. There sre several Important matters which will e-ngagc the attention of the commission at thl/j meeting. The p'lnv'lpal thing will be to outline the policy to be pursued regarding county exhibits. Assistant Secretary Dear- Ing has a large number of letters from the officers of the eeve.-nl county agricultural societies regarding the amount of space which they would like nnd the conditions which should govern the exhibits. Theae will be laid before the commission and some plan will probably be adopted. The hulk of these letters are to the effect that If the neceesary space for an exhibit In the Agriculture building Is supplied , the counties will fill the epace and furnish men to keep the exhibit In order. The letter received from Platte county Is a fair sample of the majority of the letteni. This elates that Platte county will not hold a county fair this year , but will save money and make a goodr howlng at the exposition , the farmero of that county now being en gaged In gathering materials for this ex hibit. The state commission Is asked to provide space for "the exhibit , the letter stating that floor epace about 20x20 feet will bo required. This county proposeto fur nish a man to take care of the exhibit dur ing the exposition and to distribute advertis ing matter. Assistant Secretary Dearlng says that the replies Indicate that about forty countlec will make exhibits and that the average space required for each county will be 500 feet , making a total space of 20,000. He alto saya that It does not seem to bo necvo- wary for the commission to offer any pre miums for the beet county exhibits , as the counties which propose to make exhibits are enterprising enough to do no without the Incentive of premiums , provided Epace la furnished free to the comilieu. Some of the members of the commission coincide with the aestetant secretary In thla view and regard It aa a1 most economical solution of a perplexing question , Ai > | illMitl iiH for More Coucrimloni. The Department of Concessions has received an application from Michel Pltllaroff , In charge of the RuuUn exhibit at the Stock helm Exposition , ( or confrvislon for exhlb-1 Itlnn recent Inventions In the phonograph nnd cinematographs. Another application for a conccMlon Is for a Stvbw chalet with grill room.

It Is probable that the plan of the super vising architect ? to color the staff for the building by mixing the coloring with the staff while It Is being prepared will not bo carried out. The- staff contractors take the position that this method Is not practical and cannot b- done In an artistic manner with good results. The staff Is nilxeJ with witer , and the plan of the architects' , which they Insist is entirely practical. Is to mix the coloring matter with the water. The staff workers say that It will be Impossible to secure- the same nhadeIn all the work for the reason that the staff must be mixed In such small quantities owing to the fact that It "sets" so rapidly that different fhades will bo produced and the buildings will have a mottled appearance. The architects are reluctant to yield on this question , but experiments are now be ing made with a cheap water color paint which may be used to give the buildings the desired tint. The lasting qualities of this material are being tested and experi ments are also being made at the Union Pacific shops with a compressed air apparatus for spraying the paint on the buildings. H Is believed that the buildings may be painted In this way at n very small cost. This method of painting is very ex peditious , and 'tho architects say that all of the buildings may be painted In less than thirty days. If this provia practical and desirable the buildings may be painted next spring and have a fresh and clean appc'ar- nncn all through the exposition. Thn color with which experiments are. be ing made Is a warm , neutral tint which will hnrmonlzo excellently with thp proposed brilliant colors which It Is proposed to use for decoration. Kleclrlclnil * Cnim * tit l"x iiosl I Ion. Prof. R. n. Owens of the University of Nebraska ban returned from a trip through the east , where ho has been for the paot two months in the Interest of the exposi tion. Prof. Owens Is commissioner for the electrical section of the exposition , and his recent trip wns for the purpoae of securing the 1S9S conventions of the two leading electrical organizations to be held In Omaha next year and to secure exhibits by the principal electrical Instrument manufactur ing concerns In the country. In both of these ho wa- > signally successful. Ho se cured the meetings of the American Institute of Electrical Englnecrh and the National Electric Light association , the most Im portant associations of electricians In this country. He also pecuied applications for space for exhibits from all of the large manufacturers of electrical machinery and instruments , thus a.urlng a large and in structive electrical section.

Some of the members of the State Board of Agriculture visited the fair grounds yester day morning In company with a committco from the local fair and speed association to see what Improvements and repairs were nec essary to get the grounds In shape for the fair. They found that comparatively little money would need to bo expended in thla direction. The buildings are all In good shape , with the exception of a few , the roofd ot which are leaking. Some money must bo expended to put the grounds in shape , nnd to mow the grass , but nothing more remains to be done. The board held a meeting again yesterday til afternoon. Among a lot of routine busJnetu It passed the following resolution : Resolved.
