The same style is followed in these monuments as is used for the State monu- ment :- Doric columns, entablatures and so forth. Thus the same general design is followed for all the monuments, and they will present a uniform and harmo- nious whole. The inscriptions will be in bronze, giving the history of each command during the campaign and siege. They are to be completed in one year from date of contract.

The Thirtieth General Assembly appropriated the sum of $10, 000 for the purpose of erecting a monument "Commemorative of the valor, suffering and martyrdom of the Iowa soldiers who were imprisoned and died in the confed- erate prison at Andersonville, Georgia." The Governor was authorized to appoint a commission of five members each of whom must have served at least three months as a prisoner of war to select the site and erect the monument.
The Commission met in the Governor's office and organized July 19, 1904. On October 10th they visited the site of the old prison and selected a sight in the National Cemetery which adjoins the prison grounds and where are buried the Union soldiers who died while confined in the old stockade upon which to erect the monument. In view of the fact that the National Cemetery is owned, governed and cared for by the United States government the Commission felt that the monument would be much better cared for if placed here than if erected within the grounds of the old prison which are now owned by the National Woman's Relief Corps. There are 216 known and over 100 unknown Iowa soldiers buried in this cemetery. It is the purpose of the Commission to erect a granite monument and to engrave upon it the names of all the known Iowa soldiers who died while confined within the stockade. It is hoped to have the monument dedicated in the autumn of 1905.

IOWA AT THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION.
The Iowa Building had a beautiful location in the plateau of states, that part of the grounds assigned to state buildings. It had as its immediate neigh- bors, Kansas, New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Conneticut, Missou i, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Mississippi, Indian Territory and Utah. The Iowa Building was located at the intersection of the two most prominent thoroughfares, with an outlook on a pretty plaza full of choice flowers and tropical plants. The grounds about the building were beautifully shaded with forest trees. The intra-mural railway car line had a station near the Iowa Building. The architecture of the Iowa Building was of the French Renaissance style, being a delightful blending of the architecture of the old State Capitol at Iowa City and the new one at Des Moines. It was 68 feet wide by 106 feet long including the porches. It was 49 feet to the top of the roof, and 90 feet to the flag pole. The Iowa Building harmonized well with all its surroundings.
The building was a credit to Iowa in every sense. The structure was of wood and staff, ivory white, in accord with the general color scheme of the Exposition buildings. On the first floor there was ample porch space, and on the second wide balconies. One of the strong features of the building was the interior arrangement. On the first floor in the center was a rotunda 28 by 28 feet. Leading off from this were two large public parlors. There were also on this floor two reading rooms, a woman's retiring room, the Secretary's office, toilet rooms, and wide vestibules leading from the main entrances.
143
State Executive Department.
On the second floor was the Governor's reception room, and exhibition rooms, each 30 by 40 feet. There were private rooms for the Governor and for the President of the Commission, and six comfortable commissioner's . rooms arranged along one side of the building. In the third story were the rooms for employes and in the basement a storage room for folding chairs and packing cases.
The Iowa Building was built for the accommodation of Iowa people and their friends who desired a resting place during the day and where meetings could be held by Iowa people, and general meetings for fair visitors and where Iowa's interests could be exploited.
A bureau of information and a postoffice where Iowa people could receive and send mail, were maintained and every facility offered for furnishing in- formation concerning the Exposition and the city of St. Louis.
The architects for the building were Proudfoot & Bird of Des Moines, and E. W. Nichols & Co. of Des Moines were the contractors. The decorations were designed and placed by William G. Andrews of Clinton, Iowa.
President Larrabee tendered a pipe organ for use in the Iowa Building during the Exposition. The contract was awarded the M. P. Moler Organ Co., Hagerstown, Maryland. The organ has two manuals, thirty stops, 1512 pipes, nine pedestal movements. The casing is of solid mahogany wood, the front pipes being handsomely and fittingly decorated. This magnificent gift was installed at the head of the grand staircase leading out on the main rotunda. Mr. Mason Slade of Des Moines was selected as the official organist, and daily concerts were given in the Iowa Building, where an auditorium seating 600 people had been provided. Many of the great organists of our own State and abroad appeared in recitals at various times during the Exposition.
An interesting feature of the Iowa Building were twenty cages of automatic singing birds brought from Paris by ex-Govern , William Larrabee, President of the Iowa Commission. These ingenious mechanical contrivances reproduced the warble and song of birds with such exactitude that visitors were readily deceived. They were mounted in handsome cages and are stuffed specimens of birds whose singing is reproduced by contrivances run by clock work. These birds sang for fifteen minutes daily, preceding the organ recitals in both the morning and afternoon.
President Larrabee also contributed four bronze statues which occupied prominent places in the exterior decorations of the Building. Two of these statues, Gen. G. M. Dodge and David B, Henderson, are the works of J. Massey Rhind, of New York. The other two, Admiral Farragut and General Sherman, are the works of George E. Bissel, of New York. In addition, he contributed the oil paintings of Sheridan, Lincoln, Sherman and Grant. The painting of General Grant was made from life during his term at the White House, being the work of Colonel Thorp, witnessed by Governor Larrabee.
The Women's Auxiliary Committee to the Iowa Commission, Mrs. W. H. Baily, Mrs. H. J. Howe and Mrs. H. E. Deemer secured for the adornment of the Iowa State Building many objects of beauty and interest. Artists have loaned paintings in oil and water colors, beautiful china, miniatures on ivory and porcelain, a table in inlaid wood and various other articles. A bust of Governor Cummins by Miss Walker, formerly of Red Oak, adorned the Gover- ner's reception room. In another room was a collection of nearly three hundred books representing one hundred and thirty-five Iowa authors. There was also a fine collection of music by Iowa composers.
144
State Executive Department.
The Historical Department of the Iowa Commission was represented in the Anthropology Building and the exhibit contained some of the very choicest paintings in oil of pioneers, loaned from the Iowa Historical Building.
The Educational Exhibit of the Commission showed the practical work of Iowa Schools.
Many exhibits from the manual training departments were made and attracted universal attention. This was one of the most representative school exhibits at the Exposition, and embraced work in all the grades from the pri- mary to the college and university. It was substantially installed and made a fine appearance.
In the Iowa Exhibit Mines and Metallurgy Building, the facade of the booth was constructed of Stone City stone, Van Meter and Lehigh pressed brick, and had two Scagliola Seinna marble columns at the entrance. These and the orna- ments were made from Fort Dodge Gypsum. The exhibit consisted of a coal vein section from Oskaloosa and smaller samples from over the State. Samples of clay and shales, paving, pressed and fire brick, hollow blocks, drain tile, electrical conduits and pottery, building stone and fossil rocks, marble and lithographing stone, lead ore, iron ore, white sand, mineral water from the Colfax Springs and Eddyville, prepared gypsum, gypsum plaster and gypsum statuettes, also photographs of coal mining plants, clay works, shale pits, and interior of mines, stone quaries, etc., were shown.
The exhibit in the Manufacturers Department was nicely located near one of the north entrances, the third exhibit from the west end of the manufact- urers building. Samples of Iowa clay products, including common building brick, face brick, pressed brick, building blocks, conduits, pottery, stoneware, etc., were found here in the most artistic arrangement. Practically every part of the State was represented in this exhibit, there being about thirty factories, which were represented among those who contributed to this exhibit.
The Horticulture exhibit had one of the most desirable locations. No ef- fort had been made to embellish this exhibit with palms and flowers, the idea being to make it strictly a horticulture exhibit and it was conceded by many of the other States having exbibits in this building that Iowa made the best gen- eral exhibit of apples in the building-
The exhibit in the Agricultural Department was nicely placed and what it lacked in quantity was made up in quality, as the cereals were of the very finest. Among the pictures made in grains were, one of the old Territorial Capitol of Belmont, Wisconsin, when Iowa was included in that Territory, also a picture of Iowa's new Capitol and a pioneer farm scene in Iowa.
There were also many individual exhibitors from the State of lowa located in various buildings as follows :

attractive which gave it the standing not reached by any other state or foreign government is estimated to exceed more than the second appropriation made by the General Assembly which has not been expended. With the exception of a few weeks in mid-summer Governor and Mrs. Larrabee without expense to the State were constantly at the Iowa Building to assist in the management and care of Iowa's interests and to cordially greet the thousands of visitors from Iowa and abroad. Their work was ably supplemented by Governor and Mrs. Cummins and the Iowa Commissioners' wives or daughters and the members of the Ladies Auxiliary Committee whose untiring labors gave Iowa its splendid standing at the Iowa Building and in the exhibit palaces.
The State of Iowa appropriated $145, 000 for representation at St. Louis. The total expenditures will not exceed the first appropriation of $125, 000.
A complete report of the work of the Iowa Commission is being compiled for presentation to the Governor and General Assembly as provided by law.
