Company to its customers and the number of customers served increased 100 increased 200l L During the 10-ye- ar Here's an especially photogenic view of Wildcat run at Snow basin Much national attention has been focussed on Ogden because of its accomplishments in the livestock show field — an attainment which has encouraged backers of the exposition to continue on in the face of rather discouraging circumstances The annual exhibit of blooded stock began in 1920 and since has risen to the nation's third or fourth largest with all but Ogdena located in heavy population centers The Ogden show could easily double in size but for one factor and that being lack of sufficient showing facilities This j year for example the Ogden livestock show had to turn aown the coveted opportunity of including a national exhibit of of because cattle breeding cramped quarters Sources Limited Since Ogden's annual fall exhibit is primarily educational in character its sources of income are limited The show must on allocarely almost entirely tions from the state and Weber county "Accordingly" summarized the show's veteran president George the Ogden stock S Eccles show has been obliged to emphasize quality of exhibits rather than their numerical might and the result happily has been a stock show of unsurpassed quality Last year the exhibits in our breeding divisions were as good as any in the nation ana INCREASED Despite this remarkable growth in striving to meet increasing demands however our company stands on the threshhold of 1952 with demands for natural gas still exceeding supply And to meet the demands the company is engaged in a vigorous fuel to Utah customers exploration program to bring more low-cost J Our policy has been not only to bring natural gas to more customers but also to assure each of our household customers a twenty-yea- r supply of gas While we have natural increased the distribution of gas we have also markedly substantially increased our gas reserves Today the company has three times the gas reserve it had in 1929 when natural gas was first brought to Utah The capacity of our pipe lines has nearly doubled since 1941: 89 million cubic feet capacity per day in 1941 160 million cubic feet capacity per day in 1951 Distribution mains and lines of the company have almost doubled in length during the same period: r I 96217 miles in 1941 criss-cro- of ski ss Ogden's Livestock Exhibit Could Easily Double in Size but Facilities Short INCREASED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS the trails shows up POPULATION INCREASED GAS SUPPLIED Even - 169140 miles in 1951 These lines serve almost three times as many customers today as were served in 1941: 1941 — 30682 customers — 1951 — 83800 customers But we still face the problem of supplying even greater quantities of gas to keep pace with Utah's expanding population So the exploration program pushes forward We now have 78 producing gas wells situated in northeast Utah southwest Wyoming and northwest Colorado Ten years ago the company's producing wells numbered 48 Further we have gas and oil leases or rights On approximately 289000 acres of untested potential gas and oil land in the general area of its present locations better than one or two of the 4 stock shows rated higher on the list than ours' Despite undersized quarters Ogden s 33rd annual exhibit last year made a strong comeback by adding several public interest features including a free entertainment evening auction sales and a chinchilla exhibit Trustees managed also from their meager budget to provide added public conveniences through a $20000 remodeling of the Coliseum main show building Record Crowds President Eccles said results of the rejuvenated programs record crowds of spectators £§ praise froma the

people visited the exhibits of cattle sheep hogs horses and chinchillas last year than at any time in the past We will follow an aggressive r" icy of further expanding features of interest to the

per cant lj I $173 690 went Into pockets of Utah consignors to the sales Point for Quality This is strong talking point for the quality of Utah cattle because President Eccles stated these animals were in competition with herds consigned to the auctions by leading breeders of or the nation "In the relatively few years that the Ogden stock show has been held the quality of Utah cattle has changed from scraggy rsnge herds to animals heavy in meat yields and uniformity he said "This enormous stride forward was possible largely because the Ogden stork show has brought quality breeding stock to its sales arenas for distribution to our local stock men who would otherwise find it economically impossible to shop around Jag country for outstanding breeding attain' Churchill BMMe Winston
