Show ANOTHER OUTLET FOR OGDEN utah territory in common with the surrounding states and territories is experiencing a railroad development unparallel ed in the history of the country the heated rivalry with which the great competing companies of the land arc are pushing their extensions and new connections eastward and westward towards the pacific or atlantic across the prairies of the east cast side of the Roc kica and through the Fage sagebrush brush and greenwood solitudes of the sierras lias has in its following an advantageous growth of transportation por tation facilities for the product of our mines and fields A year of agricultural abundance like the present one where our bins and granaries have been so largely drawn d rani n upon for the food supply of less favored sections section of the country makes it easy to appreciate the benefits of rapid tn transit asit hence every increase of the means of transportation signifies more markets lower freights and higher profits for the industrious tiller of the soil while the colossal railroad combinations bi are wrestling in their gigantic struggle each embracing the other as it were with a hundred arms arras of steel the people of the country on which they wage the war cannot but profit Com competition on of the lines results in reduction of the rates rendering the sale of produce more profitable and benco itsuro its production more desirable furnis furnishing bing a stimulus for improving all the arable land within reach and adopting inc tho the most advanced methods of cultivation in this respect ogden city and weber county in general have for a series of years been enjoying special advantages being situated at the very junction of the leading and until quite recently only system of overland route they have been able to find ready access to remunerative munera tive markets for the yield of their fields and gardens orchards and dairies the opening up of the northern country through the construction st flon of the U N R R opened a new channel tor for our produce a channel which has proven a real stream of wealth for our population its A extension will steadily increase its value and benefit to us and notwithstanding lines are arc now pushed forward from other bases of operations to tap tile rich country north ogden is in no near danger r of seeing its trade curtailed in that direction E experience elsewhere or for that matter everywhere has sufficiently shown that tho the more a country is reached and traversed by the channels and thoroughfares of trade and commerce iu in the same ratio trade and commerce will increase so that each of the competitors retains a remunerative remainder of the divided traffic but now we arc are on the eve afan of another eventful and fruitful railroad development A line is quietly but coming up from tile southeast which promises ogden city and weber county no mean advantages the denver rio grande western railroad a bold conception of eastern engineers and capitalists is one of the principal combatants in the great struggle between the rival U P and C CP P railroad companies its construction in Cil colorado lorado has been prosecuted lor for a year or two with marvelous energy and rapidity and now its progress has bw extended over into our territory work at grading ig is pushed ahead in a ft very lively man ner between salt lake city and prove provo and south of the latter place by purchasing the pleasant valley 17 alley road they have secured coal fields of untold wealth whose carbonaceous yield will prove a strong competitor to the imported carbon from the east fast and it is probable to prove a powerful factor in reducing the present exorbitant rates of the fossil fuel the D R G W co lias a financial backall backing g strong enough to withstand all inimical combinations and machinations tta its route lies through regions little explored or exploited before but abounding in agricultural fertility and mineral health wealth all that was required was labor to utilize the treasures strewn broadcast by benign nature and means of transportation to make the products val valuable uble all aliis is done by the D II 11 G IV R it over whose narrow road awl bed a current of labor and capital flows into the f former ormer solitudes which ia is being enlivened wit with CL villages towns and cities and inhabited by the tillers of the soil and delvers in ill the mountains but lie the D it G W has even further more important goals of ambition it id is only a link in a chain which ia is to reach from front chicago to san salt F francisco ran cisco an overland route in independent competition with the U P system in III this scrugg struggle lc the people take no part as the benefits resulting will come to them spontaneously but ogden city the junction city of the great intermountain inter mountain region busan has an interest in bein being directly connected with this new actor on oil the tile animated stage of railroad competition if we I look ook at the work vork with good wages furnished the population all along below salt lake city and provo work which is doubly acceptable cep table at this season of tho the year it ia is doubtless that a continuation of the road direct to ogden would prove of equal benefit io to weber county and vicinity it would place us in direct communication with the southeast and south open new markets for our produce enhance our importance as a commercial center stimulate all our branches of industry in a legitimate healthful nin manner besides furnishing paying labor lor some length of time labor which would bo be the more eore desirable as it could bo be performed right at home it is not a question of subsidies as the D R G W has backing enough to pay its own way but it might be worth while to try some soine plan to secure for ogden so advantageous a a connection winch which would enhance the value of its present railroad facilities
