IDAHO BUILDING

Idaho’s home at the World’s Fair stands in the western group of State buildings, not far from the Boer War exhibit. The building is in the Spanish Style, one story in height, with the inner court, or patio, characteristic of the Spanish hacienda. The space is prettily planted with flowers, and the brick pavements under the porches are always cool. Mission furniture is to be seen everywhere in the building, and the doorways and woodwork are quaint and massive. Indian basket-work and Indian blankets are effectively used in decoration. The whole picture, inside and out, is very pleasing, here may be seen the silver trophy offered by Senator Clark for excellence in horticultural displays, and won by Idaho. The displays made by the State in the Palace of Horticulture show what her resources are in tins direction, and her agricultural exhibit is a most creditable one, showing the wonderful results of irrigation. Idaho’s valuable mineral deposits are well illustrated in the Palace of Mines, where her opal exhibit attracts much attention.
