EXHIBITS ARE TO
Be CONSOLIDATED
Three Associations Finally
Get Together on the
Matter.
BIG BUILDING SECURED
ON THIRD SOUTH STREET
Combined Exhibits Will Reflect
Great Credit on the
State.

The basis Of the consolidation of the
! exhibits OF the State fair. the Real
Estate and the Merchants and Manu-
fac turers associations, have been de.
cided upon in detail and the building
In which the largo exhibit will be placed
has been selected. While the lease has
not yet been signed that part cf the
transaction will be attended to within
a day or TWO at most.
The real estate men met at the Com
mercial club Monday and by their ac-
tion favored the Swan building, which
was made the choice of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association Satur-
day night, and which has been IA
vorite throughout the campaign Of dis
cussion. The building is situated on
| Third South street, Just west of the
! Sanltarium. it was generally believed
| that n site nearer the Tabernacle would
| have been more accessible for tourists
| but it, was also realized that lease
| for a long term of wears would be less
risky and have n better commercial
value, both at present and in years to
come, on the site decided upon.
Lease for Ten Years.
The lease will cover a period Of ten
years and will call for q monthly rental
of 1925 month, one-third of which
will be paid by each or the three or
CARNATIONS in tho combine, as will
also similar portion of the heating,
lighting and incidental expenses.
The operation of eftecting this re-
suit has required much work and has
been a complex affair, attended with
considerable difficulties.
The fair associatlon has the larger
exhibit, the best backing and is a per
manent institution, yet it is believed
that 1T has no power 10 make long
time contract or n merger with any
other organization. For that reason
the lease will be signed by the other
associations only, but the Fair associa-
tion will have charge of the exhibit,
as 1T can not place its property in other
hands.
Conditions Understood.
The conditions are fully understood
by all the parties interested and the
arrangement has been made with una
nimity, and the intent of the agree
ment will be carried out with enthusi-
asm.
II is the intent of the associations
to get busy at once and to keep busy
until miniature exhibit Will be in
place that VIII be an ornament TO Salt
Lake and n credit 10 the great State
that IL will represent. II will be both
representative and comprehensive it
will be an object lesson of all the
resources of Utah and an cxemplifca-
tion of all of its manufactures and
products. IT will lot be a cumber-
some aggregation of a few things, but
a collection Of a sufficient amount for
show purposes Of many things.
VIII Be Attractive.
Nothing, it is said, will be neglected
to make the place attractive as we'll as
instructive, while the chief aim all the
time will be to advertise Utah.
A pleasing attraction will be n large
array of potted plants. owned by the
State, which were purchased for the
Portland exposition and which are now
at Liberty park. Gov. John C. Cutler
has placed these plants at the disposal
Of the Fair association. Another fea-
ture will be a fish exhibit from the
State hatchery, which will be placed
to one side of the large room.

The building has ffty-foot front
and depth of l30 feet. There are two
entrance ways and the entire front is
of plate glass. The associations will

ment.
1t is believed by the promoters of
this move, who have had it in hand for
the last three months. that the under
taking, taking into consideration the
investment, is the best move that has
ever been made or tina. can be made to
advertise Utah and TO make Salt Lake
really attractive to the thousands of
visitors that pass through here every
