An exhibit which attracts its full share of attention Is that of the Utah Agricultural Agricul-tural college at Logan. It is housed In its own building, where a remarkably complete arrangement has been made. Irrigation Ir-rigation methods In their most approved ap-proved and demonstrated forms arc giyen by illustration, A striking example is shown In two Immense- beds of earth, one representing the tract before a system of storing tho water has been adopted and Mi other showing results obtained with tire storago system. In the first illustration is to be seen the tract In Its original state, with the exception of a small area of cultivation. The land is covered with sagebrush and presents a barren aspect indeed. The succeeding plat shows the land under ditch and canal, the water being supplied sup-plied from a storage reservoir. There are fertile fields and producing orchards and on a little rise there Is a representation of a thriving community. Lesson Is Plain. The lesson contained in the arrangement arrange-ment is learned at glance. It Is In "evidence "evi-dence of the oft-repcated statement thai sclcntltlc irrigation Is the solution of the scml-arld land problem. About the walls of the Agricultural college col-lege building are arranged placards giving giv-ing figures In comparison between yields from irrigated and non-irrigated lands. The testimony is indisputable that, whili-good whili-good crops may be grown upon land depending de-pending solely" upon rainfall for its moisture, mois-ture, tremendously larger yields arc obtained ob-tained from areas properly irrigatod. There are samples of growing grain of nil kinds and of potatoes and other vegetables vege-tables grown under various soil conditions. condi-tions. Altogether tho agricultural college exhibit ex-hibit is well worth a visit and careful study. There are experts In attendance who take pains to explain the many methods meth-ods of soil culture adopted by the college. col-lege. Fire Exhibition Thrills. By long odds the most Interesting and instructive feature of the programme of attractions Is the firccxhlblt In which men and horses from thw Salt Lake fire department take part. Yesterday afternoon after-noon the exhibition work wont even more smoothly than It did on the opening day, and last night's exhibition was truly a wonderful sight. Last night the six-story structure which has been built for purposes of the exhibition was made to represent a great Are by means of red fire. The slructure for all tho world looked llko a big bulld-lnc bulld-lnc on tire. len and boys could bo seen through the windows of the different stories anxiously awaiting the coining of the rescuing firemen. A bugle alarm was sounded, tho horses, held at a distance from the wagon wag-on carrying the apparatus, were released. Jumped intervening hurdles and were I harnessed In a twinkling. Then a quick run to the apparently burning building followed. Daring" Rescues. Six firemen with hook and ladder scaled the perpendicular side of tbc structure to tho top. There llfo lines wer un-slung un-slung and thrilling rer.cues wrrc made. Boys and men were taken from tho different dif-ferent floors and brought safely to the ground in incredibly short spaces of time. Sometimes as mairy as three men were rescued at ono time and brought quickly to earth. It was a. highly spectacular exhibition, ami one which evoked the warmest pr&lsn from Uio big crowd that saw It. Tho firemen wero cheered after each daring "slid for life." just as though the spectators spec-tators were witnessing tho men at work in time of a real firo, and there was enthusiastic en-thusiastic approvn of the work of "Cap" and "Doc," the two beautiful grays from station No. 2. as they met with unerring certainty tho demands made of them. Yesterday afternoon and last night there were exhibitions of cow pony riding. rid-ing. The track was so slippery last night, however, that the riders said they could not with safety put their horses to their best efforts. Throngs See Races. The harness and running races yesterday yester-day afternoon were good. They were witnessed by a crowd that almost filled the grandstand and three-fourths of thy bleachers. The police assigned to duty at the fair grounds yesterday morning took into custody fifteen men whom tho officers regarded as undesirable persons. They werc given the general classification at the fair ground.s police station of "touts." Tlicv were sent to the city police headquarters. head-quarters. The Judging of exhibits began yesterday yester-day afternoon. Headway was slow, and when closing time came last nijrht only a small part of division A. which has to do with horses, hud been covered and reported to the secretary's office. s The result of the .hiding so far as completed last night was as follows; Department A Horses.
