Governor Richards , Prof. Frank Graves vice president of the exposition for Wyom Ing , and State Engineer Elwood Mead con stltuted a committee- Wyoming peopli which arrived In Omaha jcstcrday lor th purpose of making arrangements for Wyom Ing's exhibit at the exposition. The partj was met at the depot by a committee o directors ot the exposition , Including Presl dent Wattles , J. E. iMarkol , C. W. Lyman Dudley Smith , Thomas Klloatrick and R. S [ Wllcox. The visitors were taken In carriage ; , to the Mlllard hotel , where Manager Klrkcn dall Joined the party and after a wait of i few moments the carriages were rc-entcrc < and a trip made to the exposition ground ) via Sherman avenue. Entering the gati at the south side of the main court n clrculi of the Kountzo tract was made , the visitor ! expressing great pleasure at the substantla evidences on every side of the magnitude ol the enterprise. The beauty of the building ! was commented upon In a manner nnttcliif to the promoters of the exposition , and th ( visitors confessed that they were surprised at the largo scale on which the preparation ; were being made. At the Mines building the party alighted and entered the staff shop , where the visitor' manifested considerable Interest In the man ufacture of the martie-llke ccatlng for the buildings. The bluff tract was also v.'ulteil and the beauty o ! the location admired , Active work was In progress on the Ne braska and Illinois sMto buildings and on the Horticultural building. After looking over the grounds the party returned to the hotel , where the vlsltore wore entertained at luncheon by the ex ecutive committee , while the object of the visit of the Wyoming delegitlon was ella- cursed and an understanding reached re garding the exhibit. ? to be made bj the state GOVERNOR RICHARDS' IDEA. Previous to the meeting with the executive committee Governor Richards discussed the situation In the rotunda of the Ml.lard. "Our people want to make a state ex hibit , " said the governor , "and we have rnadu such arrangements are p-vslblc In order to do so We are here now to learn just what Is expected ot us so that we may know w-ae'her we will be able to comply with the conditions Our legislature failed tc make any appropriation for an exhibit and wo are compelled to rely upon private con tributions. After discussing 1810 mutter amcng ourselves we hit upon the only plan that seemo practloible and that Is to have each county In the state contribute its pro- portico of $7,500 , the apportkument being based on the taxable valuation of the prop erty in each county. "The people of Laramle county , In which Cheyenne Is situated , took t'jc Initiative In the matter and has asked the other counties In the state to do their share I donol thick theie la any question but that this amount will be raised without any dlfflcultv Laramle county's picewrtlan of this amounl was about $1,300 and this amount was raised In les than two hours Thursday afternoon of this week. The money Is being raised vvit'a the understanding that the legislature Is to be asked to refund it , out whether that will bo done remains to be seen "Tho $7,500 we will raise , " continued the governor , "will bo barely sufilcicnt to pay for Installing the exhibit and taking care of It during the exposition. Wo will be obliged to depend upon private enterprise to con tribute the material constituting the exhibit , but I do not have any fcirs. on that score The state has no collective exhibit to speak of , although we have a large quantity of agricultural material which was left from the exhibit made at Chicago This consists of grain In sealed glass jars , grasses and similar material. . This can bo utilized and the balance ot the exhibit will be made up of articles illustrating our other resource * We will bo somewhat hampered in making an agricultural display by the fact that wo made no collection of material grown last year , and can only augment the Chicago collection by such material as grows between now and June. We will have a good exhibit of our other resources , however. These will In clude specimens from our soda beds , oils , stone of various kinds , ores and numerous minerals WILL HELP BUILD THE ARCH. "Wo have a variety of building stone , and that reminds mo of the request of Governor Holcomb for stone for the Arch of States you aie going to build en the exposition grounds As soon as I leeched his letter I made It public and have requested the numerous quarries , In our state to supply mo with sam ples of their stone and I expect these will he ready within a vciy few days Wyoming will contribute her quota of stone to the arch and wo have same very fine varieties from w'jlch your pecolo may select. I think tlat Idea Is a good ono and I believe it will irove verj popular among the states in this section. "I am gbd I was asked to supply stone for the arch Instead of being abked to pick out our two prettiest women , " remarked the gov ernor , jokingly. "That is quite an original Idea for a medal , but It means trouble for the man In Wyoming who Is called on to pass on the beauty of our women. We have so many that can be properly classed under that heading that it is no easy mat ter to select the two prettiest , and I am gad ! Prof. Graves was assigned to that Job Instead of having It to do myself. We have the women , though , and If the professor over succeeds In passing the ordeal we will do our share In that direction as well as In every other where w'o are called upon. " State Engineer Mead will probably have direct charge of Wyoming's exhibit , he hav ing acted In that capacity during the World's fair , having charge of the collection and Installation of the state's exhibit. Ho has taken a prominent part In arousing Interest In the matter of state representation and Governor Richards stated that his experience In that line makeu him a most valuable man In the present emergency. Prof , Graves Is president of the Wyoming State university and is also vice president for the exposition for that state. He has taken an active Interest In arousing the people of that section to the necessity of having an exhibit at the exposition. CONCLUSIONS SATISFACTORY After the luncheon with the executive com. ralttce the Wyoming committee had a lengthy conference with Manager Bruce of the Department of Exhibits , during which the various phases of the situation were carefully canvassed and a complete under standing reached which proved entirely sat isfactory to all concerned. The v'eltors 6x- pressed themselves as more than pleased with the treatment accorded them by the expedi tion management. They will leave for Wyo ming this afternoon , and say that the re port they will make to their constituents will Increase the already Intense Interest the people of Wyoming have In the exposition.
