The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-10-03


der the beneficent goodness of God,
with the great natural advantages that
have been utilized; the water taken
from the rivers and lakes and put on
land, making garden spots where before
was but a barren wilderness. Now
Utah has a population of $50, 900, and
only AZ years ago there were but 147
of these pioneers here. They had only
the land, the climate and the natural
advantages, together with their own
thrift and enterprise to work upon.
Their sons AMI daughters followed in
their footsteps, and we are assembled
here today to see an exhibit of their
work. When we look around us today,
we may well feel proud that we are
citizens of Utah Not only have the
natural interests been advanced, but
greater than all these are the people
themselves, who have done the work.
They are strong, robust men, and beau
tiful, home-loVing women, and the ma
ton has recognized that we have here
a commonwealth deserving a place In
the sisterhood of states. (ApplauseD
In opening this fair today, our mill
tia was invited to take part. 1t is only
six months since these young men
were organized into the National Guard
of Utah. Look at them today, strong,
handsome men, whose superlors
do not wear the uniform of our
country. | congratulate them. They
are of the people and from the people.
They are interested in the country and
its laws and willing to give them
strength, their force, and II need De,
their lives, for the maintenance OF law
and order. / feel that if the blast OF
war should sound, these soldiers would
go to the front as the bridegroom goes
to the chamber of his bride and face
their country's foes. (Applause)
This is the twenty-first exhibition OF
this association, and its organization
is one of the evidences of the spirit OF
the people. 1T was founded less than
ten years after the pioneers came mere
and / mean no disparagement OF other
exhibitions held here when 1 say thai
this twenty-first exhibition excels all
that have gone before. 1t shows that
the people of Utah are progressive. we
must carry on the work. There are new
fields awaiting us, new homes to pe
builded new lines of transportation &c
be made. additional school houses tc
be erected. l notice with profound sat
isfaction the efforts of our people &c
encourage home industry. Home manu-
facture deserves our earnest ana zeal
GUS support, Utah sets here as quesL
of the intermountain region. Let us
arouse ourselves to the opportunity anc
gather the trade and commerce OF tha'
region. (Applause)
In conclusion, permit me to say thai
| am gratified at this suspicious open
ing of the twenty-frst eXhlpltlof
and trust the people will snow
their appreciation of the efforts OF the
directors and make it complete anc
perfect success. (Applause9
After another selection by the band
J1,- cot . n
the directors of the Deseret Agrlcul
tural and Manufacturing society, l now
declare this exhibition open, and hope
that next year it will be the fair of the
state of Utah.
This closed the ceremonies, and the
crowds of visitors at once started on
tour of inspection through the various
departments, every one of which haC
its special attractions.

The bovine race was also we'll repre-
sented but not so well as it will be to
day. "Moorland Maid the property OF
Jesse Hardy, was the only individual

were posted in view. Many breeds were
in evidence and all the specimens were
fine opponents of Utah's wealth OF
horned stock.
