Show THE JOINT EXHIBIT. The Tribune heartily approves of the Joint move in progress by the managers of the State Fair association, tho Real Estate Men's association and the Merchants' Mer-chants' and Manufacturers' association, associa-tion, to Join forces in gottlng together an exhibit which will Justly and properly prop-erly show the vast resources and attractions at-tractions of Utah. It Is quite true, as stated, that the smaller exhibits scattered scat-tered around as they are in different places, are ineffective to do Justice to tho large subject of Utah's resources as It should be presented. One will see a partial mineral exhibit In one place, another an-other partial mineral exhibit in another, anoth-er, a little coal here, a little grain there, a little fruit In one place, a little In another, an-other, some-grain, here, more there, and so on; but what is wanted is a consolidated consoli-dated exhibit, showing not only tho superiority su-periority of Utah Jn detail, but Its immense im-mense resources and superiority in the aggregate. The joint movement is also commendable commend-able In Its effort to find a central place where all these smaller exhibits can be brought together and made effective for i the showing of Utah's. Vast wealth and possibilities. The combined strength of these associations" should be and undoubtedly un-doubtedly Is sufficient to afford a guarantee guar-antee ample to uny one-who will erect a ulldlng suitable for those joint exhibits, ex-hibits, that ho will receive the usual returns on his Investment. Mr. McDonald, president of the State Fair Association, was quite right in stating that the time has come for something else than the Temple Square and Brlgham Young's grave to bo shown to tourists who arc sightseeing in this city. He Is certainly correct in his proposition that those who merely see the ordinary sights that tourists come and ask to see, fall to seo Utah as It Is Utah with her vast mineral industries, in-dustries, having deposits of a more solid and extensive character in variety vari-ety of metals and carbons than any other State can show, having fruit possibilities pos-sibilities greater even in variety and flavor of product than California can produce; having ranges extensive and rich that can never be limited or Interfered Inter-fered with; raising the best grain known to commerce, and having vast areas that can be brought Into tillage, should surely have something better to show than some mere religious or sectarian sec-tarian curiosities. By all means, push on the good work of consolidation, and show forth what tho State can do, and what men of capital cap-ital arid energy can find here to employ their money upon. Few States in the Union offer so good an opportunity as Utah for energy and investment of capital; cap-ital; none afford any better opportunities. opportuni-ties. Now Is the time to let the world know the facts; and the three joint concerns referred to are in excellent position po-sition to take the initiative in making this showing and push It to effective result. Push on the good work! |
