SAYS NONE DID BETTER.

compliment you on the high standard
OF excellence Utah has attained In COM
petition with her IS sister states and
territories.
my personal observation leads me to
believe that none have done better or
have been more deserving Of awards
OF Thigh merit for general excellence.
The benefits already derived have no
doubt been great but the benefits to
be derived in years to come are so far
reaching and ramlfy into so many
channels that to specify would be Inn
possible
THE exposition has proven TO be a
great national and Intentional peace
