will hold throughout the winter, as the
conventions held here this summer have
drawn hundreds OF people to investigate
the opportunities of Salt Lake City and
undoubtedly a great number Of these will
establish here.
During the past week several men

erected at cost Of $4,000 and is one
of the largest and most modern live,

country. 1t is planned to serve as an
exhibition hall for livestock, as an ad-
ministration building, and also as the
stalls have been built around the outer
edge Of the building, and will accom-

Prediction of Young.
President Brigham Young, in an ad-
dress at Fillmore many years ago. pre-
dictod that the great Escalante valley
would some day be the gTanary Of the
entire western country. From the grain
display made by the Salt Lake route,
it certainly seems as if this prediction
is rapidly approaching fulfillment. The
exhibit Of wheat, oats, barley and
rye from the Escalante valley, but a
few years since considered a hopeless
desert. is evidence of the adaptability
OF that section TO the cereal crops.
J. II. Manderficld, assistant general
freight and passenger agent of the
Salt Lake route, and Professor Lewis

road. will be in constant attendance at
