rere planning exhibits and that they were working hard to gather in the best beat of everything to take to chicago and omaha then we went out into our own territory and looked things over the people had beard of the land shows but they knew their own advantages so well that they believed that every one else in the united states knew them also and so the community spirit so far ar as the exposition was concern concerned ed was not shown P we WB men of the union pacific knew that that would rot do we were proud of what utah is doing and sl si we made up our minds that the utah tooth booth in the union pacific display must show the best As a result our tren iren wre ware sent out through the state arid they gathe gathered ed the best of the fruits the best of the grains and the grasses that the state scale grew these were vere carefully packed and placed nn n board union pacific cars and hauled free of all charge to chicago and omaha where they were arranged 0 o the best advantage in the utah booth utah booth a winner and that utah booth was a winner declared mr port fort enthusiastically there never was a time from the moment the doors of the exhibit opened in the morning until they closed at night that the space in front of it was not crowded with people the big lecture halls balls of ours were filled tr tc the doors every time there was a talk on utah it was only ai regard for the fire ordinances that kept us from letting the people stand aland up in the halls the raoui ng D alc plc tie tures and the stereopticon views 0 of i the scenic wonders of the state and the even more wonderful work being done with dry farming and in the building of the big irrigation project projects kept the people breathless wo we had trained lecturers and they told in a
