tions upon this subject, and has also
Instructed me TO give items of news

10 use the same. Mr.. Lannan has

II have on file at this Office n
prospectus for CalIfornia's exhibit
and also another for the Texas eX-
hibit at the T5rid's Fair. All OF
the STATS, aud particularly the
western and seu.hern States, are
already active Ia their Preparations.
There is no Disgusting the fact this
Worlds Fair b to he made the
greatest ons in history Of this or any
. her country, If it Is possible for
money and energy 10 accomplish
Tn result. And there Is no dis
guising tine fact that every State and
Territory in the UpiOn Is going 10
s.put its best foot foremost Utah
has no option in this matter. She
will be compelled to 90 into the
Worlds Fair. Not only will she
he compelled 10 g0 into the WORLDS
Fair with an exhibit, but, having
such advantages ami faciliti,s foI
making a novel and creditible e2-
hibit, she cannot, in justice 10 her
self, afford To- be second 10 any Othci
State or Territory in the Union
No State or Territory can
DO better advertising. Nc
State or Territory needs it more,
AMI no State or Territory can re
ceive a.gneater percentage Of bene
fit from such advertising than can
Utah. The question OF the sca
uoon when Utah will make her { K
hibit is nos open to debate. She
must excel eqy other State or Terri
tory, and with her special features
she can make an exhibit which VII
attract tnjre attention and moIt
compliments than will be aecOrdet
TO the exhibit of any other State O
Territory in the Union.
