vitations to the city officials and other
public-sp!rited citizens OF the towns mem
toned asking them to be present Fri
day, The intention Of tho promoters Of
the bonding project is to create sentl-
ment throughout the county in favor of
the bonds 1t Is argued that the people
OF the rural districts will be benefited
even to a greater extent than the resi-
dents OF the city. The proposition will
be placed before the conference Friday
to this effect: That II were better to
build 140 miles of modern macada mized
road to cover every part OF the county
and maintain 1t at half the expense that
the flfty-flve or sixty miles OF inferior
dirt roads now cost The saving In cost
OF maintenance 1t will be pointed out,
would more than cover tho interest
charges on the bonds.
It is expected that Fridays conference

matte plan OF campaign and that when
the time comes for submitting to the
voters the proposition to bond there will
be an overwhelming sentiment in favor
Of the project.

This was after Rollo had revealed his
only rregnable point by stating that he
could never tell directions without COM

the sense OF direction He had admitted
that even after ne had lived for several
years few miles from Billings Mont.

MAY MOVE BUILDING
TO FAIR GROUNDS
Structure Which VIII Contain Utah g
Exhibits at Panama Exposition
May Be Brought Here.

A plan to get an additional building for
the Utah state fair grounds without ex-
pense TO the stat is advanced by Horace
S. Ensign. secretary of the fair board
Tho idea is to have the Utah building
at the Pana Pacific exposition built sc
that II can be taken down and moved To
the Utah fair grounds after II has served
It's purpose In San Francisco. In dis
cussing the matter yesterday Mr.. En-
sign said:
The general way is to spend lot
OF money for an attractive building
that at the close Of the exposition
must be disposed Of as junk Spencer
Clawson has told me that the Utah
building In Seattle cost about $1,000
and after the fair was sold for Sf00
It seems to me that the steel frame
work of building like that could be
made In sections So that It could be
brought back here after the fair
II our building is valua bic IN San
Francisco 1t certainly could be used TO
advantage here. The railroad COM
panies do not charge for transporta-
ton OF such material, so that we
could get the building on our fair
grounds by Just taking It down and
putting II together again
I believe such a building as we shall
have there would be valuable here as
headquarters for women's clubs or
for a woman's rest room and head
quarters, which is something needed
on the fair grounds. I shall put the
matter before the proper persons as
soon as | have an opportunity. and
sec no reason why II should not be
acted upon,
