CHURCH FARM SALE,
Four Hundred and Thirty Acres or
Eleven Hundred Go 10 Rio Grande.

A deal was finally closed today
whereby 43o acres Of the Church farm.
three miles south Of this city. were
transferred TO the Rio Grande Western
Railroad company. sstensibly for yards
and shop sites. The amount involved is
not stated. but il IL said that a SUBJ
stantiaI sum OF money changed hands.
As the deeds are made IN the name
of the Rio Grande Western, the stories
to the effect that the Western Pacific
company had purchased the entire
church farm for railroad purposes,
which was printed some time ago In a
morning paper, are decidedly incorrect
The Church Of Jesus Christ OF Latter
day Saints still retains 60 acres Of ths
old farm. which was so useful In days
gone by for the feeding OF cattle and
sheep that had been turned In for uth-
Ing.
The land acquired by the railroad
company lies between its main line and
the Jordan river.

HOW TO MAKE A RUG.

~ For a rug collect about twenty-five
pounds of flannel rags and dye them
the desired shades, and tear into
strips about an inch wide.
These must be neatly sewed to-
gether, overlapping about half an
inch, SO that the joining is strong.
Now procure a length of clothes
line rope and commence to crochet
1.-THE flannel strips W. the rope.
This is begun in the center, like
any crochet wheel for a chair back.
A large wooden crochet hook may
be obtained from a needlework shop.
| The stitch of double crochet is used
to cover the rope with the crocheted
| flannel.
AS you go along the crochet is in.
serted into the previous row, so that
the circle grows with every pull OF
the needle.
In using two colors the palel
shade should be used until the circle
is about a foot across. Then use the
darker shade until you have gone five
times around the ring.
Return again to the paler color, re
peating the alternate colors until the
flannel is all used up, or the rug is
the desired size, leaving the darker
shade at the edge of the rug:
These are very economical to make
and r very quickly done, and are
among the most durable of any of the
homemade rugs, as the rope makes
such a hard, strong surface before il
is covered with the flannel.

Pacific Eposition, which is to be held
in that city in 1909.
Nearly threesyears before the open
ing of the exposition, the citizens of
Seattle distinguished themselves by
raising in a single day the greatest
sum ever secured for any enterprise.
The fair management wanted $780,
900 and William H. Parry, chairman
of the ways and mean committee,
set about to secure 1t. The end of
! the day, October 2, showed $650,000
in the exposition companyss Golfers.
The people would have subscribed a
million If they. had been asked to do
so.
The fair is already being exploited
| as a $40, 600, 900 show, and the figure
probably is none too large. They do
| things in the far west on a scale of
bigness not dreamed of in the east.
| Seattle's 200, 900 people gave to the
fair project $3.50 apiece. 1t was a
glorious achievement, but it is al
ready almost forgotten. Three dol
lars and fifty cents in Seattle and
three dollars and fifty cents in an
eastern city of the same size are quite
different amounts.
Now the legislature of the state of

Gus contribution, probably a million
dollars, equal to more than q dollar
for every man, woman and child
within the boundaries of the state.
The neighboring western states,
which profited by the successful ex-
position held nj Portland in 1905, are
lcertain to make even bigger showings
in 1909. Major It. S. Clarkson, an
expositionist of wide experience, is
even now touring the east and mid
ldle-west to feel the public pulse. He
has met encouragement at every side,
and the assurance in every state he
has visited that the state would erect
a building and make a display.
The national government, always a
generous patron of expositions, will
be asked for $1,000, 900 to help along
the fair of 1909, n is certain to
make a big appropriation. Men prom
inent in national affairs, from Presi-
dent Roosevelt down, have expressed
their appreciation of h educational
value of expositions as %broadeners of
public knowledge, and the PROPOSE
ton to take the western enterprise
under the nations wing is sure of en-
thusiastic support from nearly every
quarter. H.
