ration that
should show what the immense cattle ranges of the Northwest and
Southwest are capable of producing.

When the supplementary appropriation of $4,600,000 was under
consideration by Congress, the commission, through its general manager,
Louis J. Wortham, who acted also as the official representative of the
Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, succeeded in having a provision added
to the bill permitting an exhibition of pure-bred cattle from below the
quarantine line under such restrictions as the Secretary of Agriculture
might deem advisable, and, further, permitting the exhibition of range
cattle in carload lots.

As a result of this action, the exposition provided for an exhibit of
cattle from below the quarantine line and of range cattle in carload
lots in November, and set aside $19,000 in prizes to be divided among
exhibitors.

By a legislative enactment the State of Utah, on the 12th day of March,

the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Subsequently about $10,000 additional
was received from the legislature for the expenses of the State at the
exposition. The act making the appropriation appointed Governor Heber M.
Wells, of Salt Lake City, as chairman of the State commission. The
governor appointed as his assistants Hon. H.L. Shurtliff, Ogden; Hon.
Willis Johnson, Salt Lake City; and the board elected S.T. Whitaker, of
Salt Lake City, as director-general and John T. Cannon as secretary.

The Utah State Building was erected from designs of Director-General
Whitaker, and was a replica of a residence of the State of Utah. Mrs.
Inez Thomas was appointed hostess of the State building.

The State had exhibits in the Mines and Metallurgy Building, Educational
Palace, and the Agricultural Pavilion. It received 3 grand prizes, 140
gold medals, as well as several minor awards.
