Show pany In -the prospects of the country tributary to Delta. The depot will be a frame structure on tho east side of the track 24x111) feet in size. At the south end Is a freight platform Hlx24, part of It on an incline to facilitate the handling of freight. The south end of the building build-ing Is a rrelght room 24x0(1, built with a view to the future needs of the business. Next conies the office lOx 27, the extra three feet being a bay window projecting out on the front platform. Adjoining this Is the waiting wait-ing room 13x24 a comfortable and well lighted place. At the north end are the living rooms of the agent consisting consist-ing of a kitchen, sitting room and two bed rooms. There are also two rooms up stairs. The building will have a concrete foundation four feet high and In front will be a platform two feet long, extending ex-tending from the crossing south of the depot to the end of the spur at the north end of the yard. In an Interview with the editor Mr. Mandeiiield said the material for the new depot had been ordered some time ago, and but for the delay caused by the strike and heavy traffic the building build-ing would have been up by this time. The company has great faith In Mil-; lard County and believe I)elta will j soon he one of the most Important shipping points of the road. Mr. Manderlield Man-derlield was one of the early Investors In land on the Delta tract, though our private opinion Is that he Is a bigger success as a passenger agent than he will ever be as a farmer, even In that farmer's paradise Millard County. He certainly knows how to smooth out an Irate editor. As soon as the depot Is up there will be two men on diWy, two passenger passen-ger trains from each direction, and an improved mall service, for which we have long been praying. When these Improvements are actual facts the Inconvenience In-convenience of the past will be quickly quick-ly forgiven and forgotten. THE NEW DEPOT. Delta Will Soon Have One of the Best on the Road.
