LOS aNGEDES, March lS.-Wlth
clash OF a band and the shouts of thou
sands the Pacific Land and Products
show opened by Mayor Alexander at
the Shrine auditorium tonight. Hardly
city of any size from the Dan of
Bisbee, Ariz., to the Bersheba of
Blaine, Wash, but is represented there,
and to none of them will Salt Lake
and other Utah commonwealth have
to lift hat In other words, the Utah
exhibit simply takes the prize.
1t really is beauty, and Douglass
White of the Salt Lake railroad de.
serves all manner of credit for his
world of work in getting it into the
shape 1t is. He has had his troubles
doing SO. Delays of all sorts have
hampered the work and the last
touches are lacking still on the hand
morrow If possible and bright early
Monday everything will be shipshape.
Utah Is Supreme.
II there is one, east or west, who has
been cherishing delusions of the abil-
ity of Utah to produce anything in the
way of grain and fruit that her most
favored rival can show, let him visit
the Utah BOOTH The Salt Lake road
proposes running couple of excur-
sions from the chief cities of the state
to Los Angeles during the existence
'of the land show, to give the folks of
Utah chance to see what their own
state can produce, and, according to
Mr.. White, reservations for these trips
have already been sold by the dozen.
or course the special day for Utah
will be Utah day, March 81, when
Governor Spry and his staff is expect
gramme for the governor g visit has
not yet been completed, but White and
his aides are at work with the man
agement mapping it out now and with
in day or 80 Will be able to announce
it.

One of the features of the Utah ex-
hibit Is the case of enormous silver
trophies won at other land and prod
ucts shows throughout the west The
huge solid vase won at Albuquerque,
\. M, in 1908. occupies the center OF
the stand with the vases, pitchers and
cups, trophies Of other victories for
Utah produce and Utah farmers,
grouped about it.
Dry Farming Exhibit.
The booth, which is rallied off from
the main floor by heavy gilt chains,
looped from massive oaken posts. is
finished in dull brown and green, which
forms beautiful background for the
rich tints Of the dry farming grains
that form a most distinctive part of
the show. There are ell sorts of grain
there, some in towering glass bottles,
and some still in the sheaf:; Great
clusters Of the straw are draped against
the green background of the walls and
standing on the tops of the taller
posts are the glass bottles containing
the other varieties. The exhibit shows
what the dry farmers of the state are
doing and shows it mighty well.
A neat little booth for the work of
the state agricultural college stands TO
one side in the rear. A clump of bot
lies containing hour ana pile OF
bread loaves surrounding the bottles
give some hint Of the accomplishments
Of the students. One exhibit is at
tracing a good deal of attention. 1t
is huge demijohn filed with water,
hanging to the neck of which there ia
tiny bottle filled with wheat. IL is
designed to show the amount of fluid
it takes to produce the wheat. IT is
making hit among the dry farmers
Of other SECTIONS,
Nor is the home product forgotten.
One Of the most prominent cases is
packed with jars Of pickles and pre-
serves, all made in Utah, and all of
the very best quality, That, with its
fianking case, filed with jars of honey
| and glass-covered boxes of honeycomb,
and two large cases of red Utah apples
from the northern part of tho state,
stand where every passer must see
them. They were the centor of a crowd
of interested folk tonight.
r. r. Hallbrook has had the job of
| unpacking it, under the direction of
White, and has been practically IN
charge pending the arrival of j. Il.
