LIST:
Governor John c. Cutler, of Utah,
and the five members of his official
party, are so pleased with the space
that has been pron'ered them at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds
that tley have definitely decided TO
erect state building. A spot north of
the New York building, facing the
waterfront, has been selected rs n SITE
The five members of the Governor 3
party are Rudolph Kuchlet, Wesley
Walton, f. W. Fishburn, NJ. +. Gun
ningham and Spencer Clawson.
The Governor, accompanied by the
Lewis and Clark officials and his party,
visited the grounds yesterday. when
they were shown the site that had been
saved for them, they were enthusiastic.
On returning to the Hotel Portland in
the afternoon they decided that Utah
could be best represented by credit
able state building. The Governor con-
slders the space that hus been reserved
as one OF the most desirable locations on
the grounds. His companions are also
OF the same opinion.
1t is planned to erect building 100
feet long and so feet wide. The lower
floor will be devoted to exhibition pur-
poses. The second story Of the building
will be divided of into reception rooms
The building will cost about Sl5 600.
The plans and specifications of the
building will lie Grawn as soon as the
party returns to Salt Lake. II snot
believed that any difficulty will be ex-
perienced in having the structure COM
pleted and the exhibits installed in time
for the opening OF the gates.
One of the most important features of
the Utah State building will be an
annex which will contain concen-
traitor that will he in actual operation
during the exposition. The concen-
traitor by itself will cost ut least $40. 600,
and will be one of the most novel ex-
hibits OF the entire Fair. Four men
will be required to operate 1t
1t will show the process OF refining
gold, silver and copper from the time
the crude ore is turned in aud comes
out refined. The rocks containing min
erals will first be crushed and then the
different ingredients will he separated,
all within the view OF the visitors at the
Exposition. After the valuable miner
ais come out in refined state small
portions of the gold. silver and copper
will be placed in walls and distributed
among the visitors. The ore to be used
IN the concentration will come from Utah
mines. Only the mines paying dIyi-
dends will he asked for ore. The con-
centrator complete will weigh 10000
pounds. There will also be II collection
of the different ores and minerals mined
in Utah.
To the front Of the proposed building
there is gradual slope of the ground 10

landscape gardening. Lombardy pop
lars will be planted. Sego lilies, the
Utah state flower, will also be trans
