of the Fair Officials, I have decided to re

Every member of the Red Lake Reserva

policy, and already preparations are under

Lake.
Plans for the exhibit are being worked out
with the State Fair officials which will ap

exhibit hall 100 feet long by 46 feet wide,
and a grandstand that will accomodate
about 1,000 people. There is a neat and
well built ticket office at the entrance gate

posed plans.
