The city of St. Louis is getting ready
lor what it says is to be the greatest
exposition the world has ever seen.
This exposition, as is well known, is to
be held in 1903 in celebration of the
centennial anniversray of the Louisana
purchase. St. Louis already has in*
hand $15,000,000 to spend on her show,
and says she will receive subsequent
subscriptions which will amount to as

$5,000,000 was appropriated by the na
tional government, and similar amounts
by St. Lo’uis citizens and the city it
self. Chicago, it is said, spent a total
of $18,000,000 on the world’s fair, and
if Si. Louis increases this amount by
$12,000,000 haying also the advantage
of holding her exposition ten years la

we shall see a show that is a show sure

A movement is on foot in Dawson
county to get up a land lottery scheme
with a view to getting in a large num
ber of settlers by means of giving away
some 40,000 acres of land. The idea is
not a bad one, and when perfected may
be quite as successful as the recent
Oaklahoma drawing and settlement; at
least we trust it may be.—Canton Ad
