ed the Utah building at the San Fran.
| cisco exposition, returned from San

He was accompanied by Mrs. Spencer
ind Miss Spencer. The Utah exhibits
at the exposition are highly praised
by Mr.. Spencer, and he asserts that
the exposition officials, state officials
of San Francisco expressed their graf
itude that Utah Is represented. The
state officials and the exposition Of.
ficials thanked Utah for being the
first state in the inter-mountain count
ry to make an appropriation for an cS
hibit at San Francisco, and asserted
that drought the lead of Utah all of
the lntermountain states made appro-
priations for exhibitions.
"Utah's building and the exhibit in
the building are commented upon 5y
all visitors to the San Francisco eX-
position" said Mr.. Spencer. "The
horticultural and educational exhibits
are not in place as yet in the horticul.
tural and education buildings owing
to the exhibits being late in arriving
at San Francisco. Utah Is not behind
other states and nations in this as
there are several sectional exhibits to
be installed by all Of the states with
the exception of California. Booths
for these two exhibits are SO situated
that all who enter the two buildings
will see the Utah exhibits.
The taking part in the Panama Pa
cific exposition is a great thing for
Utah, as il will bring before the peo-
pie the resources OF the state and at
tention will be directed here. Every
one who goes into the Utah building
to view the exhibits asks questions
concerning the resources of the state
Those who have tickets routed thru
Utah always inquire as to the differ
ent points of interest and the number
of tourists who will spend extra time
in the state will more than pay for ap
preparations which have been made
for the eXpositions.
All Boost for Utah.
The exposition people and the Cali
fornia officials are boosting Utah at
the exposition, and the space which Is
being given to this state in the Pacif.
ic coast newspapers concerning the
exhibits from Utah is attracting at
tention. Even the Salt Lake ball club
is bringing Pacific coast closer to
Utah, for Arthur II. Arlett, who repre-
scented Gov. Hiram Johnson at the ded
ication ceremonies, said that Utah
could have everything 1t wanted in
California withe the exception of the
league pennant.
The attendance at both the San
Diego and San Francisco expositions
Is good, but with the railroad people
the exposition officials realize that the
big travel to the Pacific coast will not
start until May. The attendance at
San Diego has averaged 5000 a day
and at San Francisco has averaged
more than 10000 daily. California
has the greatest exhibit at the exposi.
ton. as 1t can change its exhibit every
week If it desires. To see the way in
which Ohio, New York and other rich
eastern states are making a showing
In San Francisco, one wonders where
they get all the money. New York is
entertaining all the time and the
building has three automobiles always
on hand to care for visitors
