Mclldr also desires to start h now

Is not posltlvo that tho loglslaturo will
bo nsked to appropriate money for

with them on a recent trip to examine

exposition at Toronto ahd examined
h steel grandstand it Belmont, M. .,
Secretary Simpson, writing to Secre
tary Mollor, Bald:
"I think tho Nobraska Btato ralr
has a groat ruturo. I havo hoard much
compllmonta'ry montlon mado or your
ralr rrom oxhlbltora and visitors alike.
With tho growing- attondnnco which
you hnvo at your ralr, It would bo my
opinion that you would want a stand
Boating capacity at tho present tlmo
or rrom 8,000 to 10,000, nnd left In such
a way that you could add to It later.
"Ab you probably know, tho stock
pavilion oh our grounds Is much too
small for 6Ur purpose, nnd If building
nt tlilfl tlmo there tiro milto a fow
changes which Wo would mako In tho
construction. Each or tho Btock build
ings which wo have erected slnco ours
ban been Improved upon. Our build
ing Is an exact reproduction of tho
ono on tho Illinois stnto fair ground3
and was bult tho following year. Next
Missouri built onot then Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Indlana'nnd Kentucky at
Louisville. I think tho pavilion on
tho Indiana Btato ralr grounds at In
dlanapollfl is probnbly tho most per
roct or nny that has beon constructed.
It cost them In tho neighborhood of
$100,000 to $110,000. Our building wnB
built In 1902 nnd cost nbout $46,000.
Tho outsldo dimensions aro 17Cx225,
tho ring being 120x170. Tho main
thing wo havo to complain or In our
building Is that tho seating capacity is
not hair largo enough. Wo contom
plato at some ruturo dato adding an
other 100 feet In the length of this
building, -taking down tho outsldo
walls and rebuilding them to Increase
tho seating capacity."

tho amount of freight which had been

that Jensen had railed to pay him that

them. Jensen In his nnswor set up tho
allegation that ho had boon grently
damaged by delay in delivering tho

In which ho had sustained damago.
Judgo Stowart finds that thoro Is duo
tho plaintiff from tho defondant tho

duo tho defendant from tho plaintiff
on tho various Items eat nut in his
