Show person traveling to Idaho or be- yond prays for another railroad. The .journey means inconceiv- able loss of time and sleep. Fur-ther, Fur-ther, t!te service southward is not always convenient for I through travel. It is true these I may be minor considerations, but if it is the purpose of the railroad company to give its patrons pa-trons the bast possible service, they should have weight. The Short Life did au injustice to the east side of Cache Valley I when it removed the main line j therefrom, and this would seem I to be a method of correctit g that wrong. A CHANGE CF ROUTE. It is said that there has been some discussion in Oregon Short Line circles of a change of route in this valley. The new route to Malad' gives the road an outlet out-let to its Box Elder county line and makes it unnecessary that the through line should touch at the points there The route through Brigham City Ca'nyon has been looked over, and is said to find some favor in Short Line ofti- j cialdom. A change of some kind would j seem to be desirable to the peo-! pie ana the company. The line ! to Alalad from Brigham City could tcuch at all the points i north of that town and supply ! all the necessities of tha t valley. . A line could be built through Brigham City and Wellsville canyons and tha route through the Bear River canyon abandoned, abandon-ed, as it has never been consid-,'' consid-,'' :' :-ed a safe stretch of road. The new road would touch .at all the ' important points in Cache Val ley and upon leaving Preston could connect at a convenient point -with the present line. . Thus a considerable number of miles of road could be taken up, and all large towns in this valley -would be on the main line. It may be asked, in what way would the railroad be benefited by this change. It would have much less trackage to keep in repair in this county, and would dispense with one train, as local lo-cal business could be handled by the through trains. The people of this county would be vastly benefited by the convenience of the through service. ser-vice. As matters stand at pres- ! ent, the connections to and from I the north are deplorable.
