Luncheon of Utah Products.
First OF all was a luncheon, original
m that nearly everything served were
Utah products and appctizing To the eX-
tent that nearly everything on the menu
was devoured. The preparation of the
spread was in a decidedly tasty manner,
under the direction OF the Willis-Horne
food products OF n sideboard lunch were
many varieties OF raisins and almonds
from Utah's Dixie. In the vicinity of ST.
George.
There was no speech making and tho
honors OF the occasion were divided be-
tween President J, G.. Mcdonald and
a number OF other officers OF the aseo-
ciation. The souvenirs distributed were
Dixie almonds by the pocketful.

Of a suite OF three rooms on tho ground

arranged a miniature exposition of Utah

ls comprehensive TO the extent that II Is
worthy of the attention of every loyal
and enterprising citizen OF the State. The
exhibit includes minerals, grains, grasses
silks, fruits and nuts.
Will Continue Exhibition.
1t is the intention Of the association
to continue this exhibition so as to In
clude as nearly as possible every product
Of the State, both natural and manufac-
tured the object being to make the show
has been opened less than two months
the attendance on the part OF both tour
ists and others and the interest that all
Of the visitors have expressed have con-
rinced the management that the enter
prise should be continued and encouraged
10 the fullest extent
In this undertaking is also seen an op-
portunlty to lay the foundation Of the
great lntermountain fair contemplated TO
be held on the association grounds In Salt
Lake IN 1907 and 1906, The eucess OF ex-
vantages in developing the resources Of
Countries both old and new are becom-
ing more apparent every year.
In Salt Lake at present there are three
those of tho fair, the Real Estate asso-
citation and OF the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, and the Idea has
been recently conceived that one good
show would be preferable to three indif-
ferent ones. While no speeches were
made yesterday and no discussions were
held. 1t was a common remark that the
time had como for tho business inter
ests Of the State to get together and CO.
operate. rather than compete In the free
show business. 1t Is expected that the
Informal and enjoyable affair OF Wednes-
day Will bring about a community OF In
tcrests In this respect that Will be pro-
ductive of practical resulte The fair
is supported by the State, SO that tho
matter of salaries and rents are provided
for.
Advertising the State.
Just what plan OF uniting future efforts
for advertising the State In so practical
a way will be determined upon has not
vet bccn decided upon. but the opinion
seems quite unanimous that some such
move should be made.

helped 10 dispose of the luncheon at tho
were Gov. John c. Cutler,
