Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1910-10-08

Tomorrow the cventful week will have
gone into history and by Monday night
the fair grounds will be deserted. Gay
decorations, haunting streamers Will
be torn away and nothing but the
naked orders will be left to rest In
loneliness for another year.
Visitors, exhibitors, officials, judges,
in fact all who have had anything. to
do with the making of the state fair
this year are unanimous in their YER
dict that the 1910 Utah state fair has
been the greatest and the most In
structivc ever held in the intermoun-
tain region.
AL are pleased: and even the Judges
who came from states far away are
unstinted in their praise. Blessed with
incompatible weather, and that suave
spirit of goodfellowship which makes
every visitor feel that the fair is part
his own, the officials have received
encomiums from all sides ana natural
ly are happy with the results for 1910.
+ When seen this morning they eX-
pressed themselves as follows:
James G. Mcdonald, presidential we
can prove to the legislature that we
can run the state fair and make 1t pay
without gambling, we feel that we
should be pattcd on the back. We
have proved 1t this year. Our object
has been to educate the people. Two
years ago Mr.. Cutler, who was then
governor, said in response to my In
uuiry concerning making the tickets
SO cents Instead of %: do not do 1t;
what we want Is not dollars and cents
but the education of the people. That
has been our object this year, and we
feel that we have been amply repaid
for every effort. 1t has been a triumph
for Utah every minute. and has proved
that a state fair can be run with the
tickets at 25 cents. | am informed by
Prof. Merrill and others that the state
fair excels In every way that Just held
at Spokane. We officials are potn nap
