UTAH AT THE FRONT.

OoFeInor Spry returned from Call-
fornia full Of enthusiasm for Utah,
and confident in the benefits that the
State has derived from the Los Angeles
exposition. Utah cut a prominent figure
State, and Governor Spry was on hand
TO take advantage of such opportunities
for. Utah boosting as were presented,
From Los Angeles the Governor went
to San Francisco, where he was treated
royalty as the representative of Utah,
and the help that Utah had given free
ly and unanimously in support Of San
Francisco as the Canal Exposition city,
was gratefully recognized. It is the
Governor IS desire to have Utah prom.
inently represented in San Francisco al
the Canal exposition, and he was
anxious to select the site for Utah IS
building at the visit he has Just made,
This was impossible. however, by reason
of the fact that the site for the exposl-
ton itself has not vet been determined.
San Francisco is not doing herself Jus
tice In postponing this selection. The
site should be fixed SO that those States
and commercial bodies which desire to
be represented can make their prepara
tions and house their exhibits in build
Ings of their own construction at as
early a date as possible. 1t is desirable
by all means that the building site
should be selected. and that ample time
should be had for planning and con-
structing those buildings with view to
the best showing of the States re
sources that can be put on view.
In strict line with these boosts for
Utah was the matter commented upon
in these columns yesterday, the record |
breaking filings upon Utah lands during
the month of March, and also in
February. Undoubtedly these filings
will increase during the months of
April and May. and Utah will be beue
fted in the influx of thousands of
settlers. by reason of the prominence the
State has achieved. and because of the
better land opportunities offered here
han anything left elsewhere in any of
,he coast or mountain States.
Another thing that will tend to the
advantage of Utah is the Journey Of the
