OTHER UTAH ARTISTS.
OF other Utah artists, DR.. Smart Is
warm admirer. II want to say for
Hon. Young and Lee Richards and
Harwood, too" he declared at the end
of an evening among his purchases,
that they deserve every bit of recog-
milton that can come to them. II Is
a splendid thing for the state tg huNa
them with us, and the hope of all of
us who know them is that their work
can be given a chance in competition
with that produced elsewhere and then
their regulations will soon be beyond
our power to influence one way or thu
other
