V 1 I M i BIG CONTRACT LET BY UNION PACIFIC, Echo Cot off From Evanston to Salt Lake, to be Built at a Cost of S6.OO0.0OO. A Cheyenne dispatch Wednesday says the Union Pacific has awarded Kilpatrick Brothers & Collins of Lincoln, Lin-coln, Neb., a contract to build a cutoff cut-off that will cost nearly as much, if not more, than all of the improvements improve-ments made in ' Wyoming during the past year. Tbe project is the much talked of Echo Short Line, from Evans-ton, Evans-ton, Wyo., to Salt Lake. The contract con-tract price is 86,000,000 and the contractors con-tractors are given four years in which to complete their task. The work will be sublet to small firms and operations will be commenced com-menced early in April, or sooner if the weather will permit. A contractor who gave out the above information says that the new cut-off will be about forty miles long and will pass through the heart of the Wasatch mountains. Many long tunnels will bave to be driven through solid granite mountains and it will require at least three years' work to complete the road. Engineers regard the buildiDg of this line as a stupendous task aud one of the biggest jobs ever contemplated by any western road. The contractor stated that although the Evanston-Salt Lake cut-off was surveyed last summer and contractors were asked to bid upon the project,-rtS' building was not decided upon until a few days ago, when the Union Pacific board of directors had a meeting. At this meeting, it is 6aid, arrangements were made for a close alliance between the Union Pacific and the Salt Lake-Los Lake-Los Angeles Hue, now building. Indeed, In-deed, it is hinted that the Union Pacific is behind the latter road and controls a majority of the stock and, instead of its being independent, it will in reality be under the control of the Union Pacific, Pa-cific, thus giving the latter a through line from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast, and one that will be the most direct of any yet constructed or that can be built through the Rocky mountains.
