Show GREAT WORK BEING DONE. Driving Park Soon In. 'H Excellent Shape. .fl Great Undertaking Car- H lied Out Well. One not having been down to the H Cache Vallc Fair and Driving As- ijl soclatiou's grounds can have little jH conception of the magnitude of the B woik that has been done there. Al- 'jH though tho woik has not been ,H Mulshed and will not be completed iH for some time to come, the place is 'H alrcad) fair to look upon and In shape ,'H for good racing. M The noilheast corner of tho city ' H park, formerly a thick grow tli of uu- j derbrush, has boon cleared per- H fectlv and standing anywhere In the : iH giounds it is possible to sou the tH temple, tabernacle, l. Y. 0. buildings, 'll the Hansen condensed milk factory, , sugar factory, and get a splendid view ,H ot the moustalnsoti cither side of the l It will bo rcmcmbeicd that this ! poitiouof the park was a veritable j bog, cut up into "a thousand Islands" t'l by the Little Logau river. Under the : M direction of Win. Peterson Hie course M of the streams has been altered lu M several places and the whole volume M of water now Hows hi one channel at M the noith side of the park to u point M Just lu front of the bams over near M the west and thou tuns on out tho M park at tlie rear of the giand stand. M At the northeast corner of the paik M the company has had an artistic ce- M incut culvcit put In tluough which 'M the. diverted watuis ot the little Lot;aii M pass. Mr. Peterson hi speaking of the draining and tilling of the bogs says fil that the horses continually mired be- j beyond their depth and had to be ;! "snaked out" wlthjchalns. This was a common occurrence and he wonders j at it that the boys staid with tliejjob. ':H Mr. Pctcison had charge of the con- M structlon of the track and to appie- ijl elate what ho has done It Is neccs- jJ sa i y to see the woik. Considering the M fact that most of tho track had to be j built over bogs tilled with brush and that practically ovciydllllculty was en- H countered, the track Is hi a splendid lM condition. tM Up to tlie picscnt time bleachers M have been built on the west side of 'iH the track under so mo gicat willow jJ ticcs, and a Judge's stand is now finish- 'jl ed and painted. Monson Ik Schaub M are dtaw lug plans for a giand stand 1 Just opposite the Judge's stand. This fH will have icfresliment looms under- M ucatli. Over acioss the river arc a M sciics of barn'stalls and hi a few days jH an artistic bridge ucioss the Llttlo H Logan will be constructed. The en- jJ trance to the park Is to be at the iH noith side near the hoisc sheds. M An eight foot board fence has been H completed around the west and south H sides and the lumber for the lemaiti- H dor has Just arrived. 11 is stated that H no less than :i0,0U0 feet have been iH icqulred. JH At the present time a iiumbcr of iH horses aie being worked out on the track. Moes Tliatchcr, Jr. has iH charge of John Harnett's hoise "Mlko"and heats hhn up frequently. 'H Will Howcn Is taking cat e of Frank ! Wood's "Skinner." 'M Illlcy Kent has a Hlackfoot horse, jtH "Nlmshi," Qull Nebcker's $100,000 ,H beauty, a Hear Lake horso owned by jH James II. Hart and named "Nug- IH gett." These horses wilt be cntcicd 'JH in the big races on July Ith. H That the Association tias done some H great work down there Is a ceitalnt), H and without doubt there will be some H good moots there The public which H has clamored long for such amuse- H ment should now give the manage- jH ment all the encouragement possible.
