Ctah. In a. Jitter sddreMed to a fislt Lake
City neaapaper, takes occasion to place
emphasis on the Importance of land show
flleplay.
The governor's letter follows:
"F.dltor of the llerald-Itepublican. Rait
l.ake City. Ctah Pear Fir: Apropos our
recent conversation and In response to your
request that I express an opinion as to
the heneflta accruing to the state of Utah
by reason of Its taking; part In the various
expositions and land shows recently held In
different parts of the United States, and
the probable- results of the state's pros
pective participation In future expositions.
I take pleasure In advising- you as follows:
Appeals o Land H angry.
'Beyond question of doubt, the exploita
tion of Utah's resources through the sey
aral exhibits has resulted In vast benefit to
the Interests of the people of Utah. I be
lieve that the average person who visits
these expositions does so from an educa
tional or business standpoint, rather than
out of mere curiosity. Time was, doubt
less, when the special amusement features
were the great drawing cards at all such
gatherings. Recently, however, the spirit
of Inquiry has prompted, In large measure,
those who have visited the expositions,
with the result that Intelligent Investiga
tion Is rapidly supplanting the desire for
pleasurable excltment. On every hand, and
particularly In the thickly populated centers
of the east, there Is evidence of a desire on
the part of the people to Investigate lands
and land possibilities and get back to ag
ricultural pursuits. Because of this ten
dency there has been a natural general
westward movement of homeaeekers. Vis
ing with each other. In spirited yet friendly
competition for the most attractive display
of resources, the sparsely settled states
have peen ' reaching out after Increased
Copulation, and the Inquiring multitudes
have been gathered together In different
sections of the country through various
fairs and expositions to make comparPl
eons and draw conclusions as to the rela
tive advantages of exhibiting states. All
this has resulted In a magnificent growth
of the western part of the country, and at
the present time we are witnessing striking
evidences of the good results following the
expenditure of a few dollars In making
fllsplay of our varioua resources and pro
Suets. "I heartily favor an effort being made
to permit of our entering with a creditable
display, every legitimate exposition that
the country affords, since a failure to Join
with the other states In this competition
will discredit Utah and the state will be
come conspicuous by Its absence.
Urges Big Displays.
"Without detracting from the Importance
of active participation In outside expo
sitions, 1 am none the less solicitous for a
risiplay of our resources that will be more
distinctively and extensively a Utah ex
hibit. In other words, at the large expo
sitions Utah Is but one among many, and
J be attention ' and Investigation Its re
sources receive must necessarily be ' di
vided. How best to most thoroughly Im
press upon the Investigator the extent and
variety of our developed and undeveloped
possibilities Is a question to which I have
given much thought.
... "It has occurred te me that the most
effective demonstration possible Is a per
manent local exhibit, maintained In suit
able quarters at the capital city.
"There are many reasons that may be
advanced as to the practicability of such
an exhibit. Very few cities of the United
States are ao situated as to receive and
entertain such a vast number of tourists.
During the year 1910 between 200,000 and
3&0.000 visitors registered at the bureau of
Information in Bait Lake City. With the
prospective movement toward the Pacific
coast during the next few years there la no
probability that this number will decrease,
and there Is every reason to believe that It
will Increase. With the Panama-Pacific
exposition In California, the year 1915
should witness the greatest Influx of visi
tors that the state haa ever known. I have
no doubt that more than l.one.ooo eastern
ers will pass through the state of Utah,
either going or returning from the Ban
Francisco exposition, and fully 96 per cent
of this number will atop for a few hours
or days. That year will afford an oppor
tunity that may never again present It
self In the history of the state. We should
take advantage of the same. The time Is
already ripe for a beginning, and what-

James 11. Hawley today approved of
Thursday. October 19. aa Idaho day at
the Omaha I.and show.
"The day will be one when we will place
the opportunities of our state before your
people In such a way that they cannot
help but see the wonderful openings In this
section, and I expect to be present on that
ocraslon," said the governor In an Inter
view witn w. raisiey, general manager
of the Land show, who has been In Boise
for several days In the Interests of the
txhlblt.
A big display will he made by Idaho, and
the Boise Commercial club has made an
appropriation of 11.000 for the purpose of
putting on an exhibit from thin city and
the Boise valley to supplement the work
done by the state. Other communities are
planning to take part and they will see
that the display la the most unique one
that has ever been sent out of the west.
"Idaho Is ready to show the 'people of
the Missouri valley that when they are
ready to look for new homes that their
best opportunity Is here," said Samuel J.

a chat with Mr. Paisley.
Mr. Rich ia now working out his plans
for publicity work for Idaho, and these In
elude a display at Omaha which will be
both unique and comprehensive.
"Many have gone throuph this state In

Middle West Sends
Hundreds to Settle
on Lands of Utah
Records of Land Office for March Set
New Mark Frnit of the
Land Show.
OGDEN, Utah. May 4 .-(Special) As a
consequence of the exploitation In the east
of the land possibilities In Utah, the United
States land office business for March broke
all records, according to the monthly report
made by E. D. R. Thompson, register.
The business eclipsed that of any preceding
month by about forty-eight entries, or
12,000 acres of land, and by nearly $1,000 in
fees and commissions. A decidedly notice
able feature of the records at the office
Is the number of eastern people who have
taken up land.
Represented In the entry lists are people
from Indiana, Ohio, , Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri. Iowa, Nevada and California,
which speaks volumes In favor of the
C6merctal olub publicity bureau and for
the land shows In which Utah participated.
The. state sequred more than 100 newcom
ers from the east during the month. Be
sides this number, there were close to 100
more residents of the stats who filed on
land ami Intend to make improvements.
Most of these entries are on land 'which is
considered seml-arld and from which, un
doubtedly, big crops will be taken In due
time.
The report of the land office show some
Interesting figure which are deeededly
complimentary to the state. During the
month there was a total of 197 entries of all
classes. Of these 191 were homestead en
tries and they took up a total of 86.620 acres
of land, which amounts to very close to
ninety square miles. Of the entries a good
deal over one-half were eaatern DeoDle.
The report of the land office Is aa follows:
Class of entries: Allowed:
Enlarged m
Original 41
Desert "4s
Mineral entries , a
Coal Certificates '. 89
From a financial standpoint the land
office faired well during th month, talc
ing in $3,250 In fees and commissions and
$5,009 for the sale of public lands.
The list of entries on agricultural land
la decidedly encouraging, aa it fulfills a
prophesy which waa made recently that
the present spring would be a big one for
Utah In the line of settlement. The Com
mercial club publicity bureau started Its
campaign last summer, sending out a
great deal of literature. This brought a
flood of inquiries regarding the state. Im
mediately people became interested. Then
the Chicago and Omaha Land shows were
held and the people were shown by attrac
tive displays what the state possesses in
the way of possibilities.
