the near future agents representing
eastern and foreign syndicates with
unlimited wealth will be sent to this

gold properties, with the view of pur-
chasing or bonding, the former being
preferable. Camp Floyd and Ferguson
districts seem to be the favorites, prob

THE MIDWINg,ER,
Are Coming In at a
Lively Rate.


Messrs. Grant, Hubbard, Scott and
Snyder were present at the meeting
of the executive committee of the Mid
winter fair committee held yesterday
afternoon at the regular hour.
The secretary read communication
from the clerk Of Sanpete county, in
which he stated that the county court
had made an appropriation of $3.50 to
the Midwinter fair fund Accompany
ing the letter was a check for the
amount This is the first money for
the fund received from the outside,
although nearly every county in the
territory has already taken favorable
action and made liberal appropriations.
The communication also contained the
information that Joseph J. Taylor, of
Manti, has been named as the Sanpete
county member of the executive COM
mittee.
County Clerk Stahl of Box Elder
county notified the committee that the
court of that county had adopted the
following resolution:
Resolved That the request of the
citizens of Box Elder county be granted
and that the sum of $150 be appro-
priated towards the defrayment of the
expense of representing Box Elder
county at the proposed Midwinter fair
The $1,000 appropriated by Salt Lake
county is now at the command of the
committee and will be placed with the
treasurer in a day or two. This amount
does not represent the total to be rails
ed by Salt Lake county, as several
thousand dollars will be added to the
fund from private subscriptions.
Another meeting will be held this
afternoon at 4 O'Clock.

In our report to the governor and leg.

INTEREST on BONDS.
Treasurer Duke Pays Out Over Thir-

City Treasurer Duke yesterday paid
$50, 325 interest on bonds, thereby clear
ing up the interest account to January
I1st. The money represents the earn
ings of 1928, 900 worth of bonds for the
six months ending January 1st.
Salt Lake city has sold S1,713, 900
worth of bonds and has $4,000 worth
more which will be floated as fast as
the holders of warrants present them
for payment. The bonds can not be
taken up while the warrants are in
circulation for the reason that the city
would then be exceeding its limit of
indebtedness. The purchasers of the
recent issue Of bonds are very anxious
to get the paper 4on the market While
money is so plentiful in the east, but
fort some reason the warrants do not
come in, although many calls have
been made for them. The bonds are
still in the possession of the city and
the treasury yawns IN vain for the
cash. When the last ten bonds have
been sold the bonded indebtedness of
this city will be to the extreme limit
allowed by law S1,723,OO0. Salt Lake
city is now paying ,$S5,65O interest an
nually.

UrAHs WORLDS FAIR EXHIBIT.
Legislative Action Necessary to Send
IT TO the Midwinter.

The Utah Worlds fair commission
held a meeting yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of considering the Midwin-
ter fair proposition. President Cham
bers returned from Park city Wednes-
day night and presided at the meeting,
all members being present.
After full discussion of the subject
matter in hand it was decided that
inasmuch as the territorial legislature
would be asked for an appropriation to
cover the amount expended in making
the Worlds fair exhibit, and the COM
mission was appointed for the specific
purpose of looking after Utah's inter
ests at Chicago. it would hardly be
within its province to allow the exhibit
or any part thereof to pass from its
hands without authority from the gov
ernor and legislative assembly. The
exhibit was collected at great cost and
when the desired appropriation is made
will become the property of the terri
tory and form the nucleus for a per-
manent exhibit of it's resources. Every
member of the commission expressed
himself as being in most hearty
sympathy with the Midwinter
Fair proposition and it was unani-
mously decided to incorporate within
the report to the governor and legis-
