A statement of the association’s program, adopted in the Capital, Janu- ary 26, was sent to the Governors of the various States, to State tax com- missions, legislative reference bureaus of the various States, and to many Life of Chicago’s First Settiement. CHICAGO, April 15.—Sharply con- trasting the daring, ultra-modern archi- tecture of exhibit halls on the grounds of Chicago’s 1933 World's Fair, rises old Fort Dearborn, a rough-hewn group of buildings, reproducing the life and customs of Chicago's first settlement. The old fortress was the first com- pleted unit of the fair, and has been the mecca for thousands of visitors throughout the construction period. Lo- cated in the heart of amusement af tractions, it will undoubtedly continue to vie for popularity when the entire exposition is opened June 1. Once inside the weather-beaten log stockade, visitors are transported to a world in which hardy pioneers, soldiers, trappers and Indians enacted the thrill- ing drama of early civilization that marked the beginning of the fourth largest city in the world. Historic Objects. Here will be found many relics, curios, weapons and historic documents hark- ening back to the pioneer days of the Nation. Historians and craftsmen worked zealously on the task of re- producing the old fort built on the Chi- cago River in 1803 and 1804. Plans and specifications drawn by Capt. John tained from the War Department by the Chicago Historical Society. In a corner of the court yard is an open fireplace, over which hangs a huge iron pot such as was used by the g: rison for making soap. Among the teresting objects on display are fil lock rifles, ancient lanterns, irol wrought candle-holders, skins of wild animals and crude household utensils. Two brass cannons brought to the old fort in 1804 and a pair made in Paris in 1793 are in the blockhouse. These have been loaned to the exposition by the United States Military Academy at ‘West Point. Fort’s Store Reproduced.
