Governor Atkinson says his next message will urge an appropriation to fund the State Commission in charge of the West Virginia exhibit for the Pan-American Exposition. The commission includes Stuart W. Walker, J. Murriwan, Battelle, James M. Porter Jr., and E. B. Staith, with resources of coal, timber, oil, iron, and farming foregrounded.
Wisconsin officials selected a site on the eastern Exposition grounds for their exhibit near the government buildings. The Wisconsin commission consists of Willard A. Van Brant George B. Burrows B E Edwante Charles Reynolds and George H Yale. Wisconsin will spend 2000 on its building and displays. The U S government building will be built by Rasmussen Strehlow of Omaha with a domed main hall and connected arcades. Consuls in Ontario visited Buffalo to evaluate the Exposition and reported strong confidence in its scope and value.
The Expo exhibit promises extraordinary power with five thousand horsepower transmitted from Niagara Falls by electric cables and about four thousand more generated by gas and steam engines. The gas engine display will be especially fine with H B Groff of Simcoe Ontario among the contributors.
