Show CBlIIKfi Oil NEW RAILROAD RAIL-ROAD FOR lUnUARD COUNTY j Delta Sugar Company and Utah-Idaho . Are Bidding For Beets of Millard County Delta People Favor Their Own Factory. George W. Craig, long In the service ser-vice of the Salt Lake Route aa agent 'in Provo, and now an active promoter of a railroad company to build a branch line from the Salt Lake Route at (Leamington to -Fillmore and possibly possi-bly beyond as far as Kanosh, has been obtaining data from state officials offic-ials relative to the resources developed develop-ed and undeveloped, along the proposed propos-ed route of the line. Much of the line's business would come from the proposed development' of the Irrigation Irriga-tion district recently formed to take water by the high line canal from the fetvier Bridge dam, provided arrangements arrange-ments for water rights can be made. Mr. Craig believes that such a line as he proposes would pay operating expenses ex-penses and fixed charges from the itart. There are few engineering difficulties dif-ficulties in the way, he says, the country coun-try being comparatively level." , Many of the people of Delta think that the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company is back of the new road, as the Utah-Idaho Utah-Idaho Sugar Co. are making a strong bid for the sugar beets of Millard county ' as against the local factory now in operation at Delta. The rivalry rival-ry for Ihe beet crop of this section Is quite keen and the tendency is to support sup-port the people's factory rather than cell to an outside concern. |
