AStorytotla E.T-t that the Kin I (irande Western Aims for u Shorter : Route to Denver Across the ! i Reservations. I The Suit Lake Tribune lust Wednesday Wednes-day published an article, reprinted below, purporting to show that the reason for the Uiu Grande Western's development work at 1'rovo was to make that point a base for a shorter line to Denver. The Tribune's forecast fore-cast is very plausible, except in one particular. In its article. The Tribune loses sight of the fact that Spring il!c is far more suitable as a base or operations opera-tions for such a line than is I'rovo. Provo people will hardly admit this, but it is a fact which may be very easily demonstrated. The Independent in its issue of April Hi, of this year, presented the superior advantages of this city as a base, and of Hobble Creek canyon as a route, to its readers, as follows: SPRING V 1 LXK THE STAltTINU POINT. Springville is t he proper start ing j point for a branch to the L'nco:npa- ghre country. It is already the base for the Tintie branch, and the addition ad-dition of a division headquarters should be made a matter of course. Everybody indicates that Springville in a few years will be the leading city Leadviiie fro., i Denver, was on ae-in ae-in the Utah Lake region and t he liest ! count of the mountains between, business point south of Salt L ike. It I which were an unsurinoiintable bar-is bar-is having a rapid, steady and sure 'Tier. Jnlhedas of its construct ion growth, has no 'busted'' boom handicaps handi-caps to work out from under, the bu.-i-ness elements of its population is aggressive, but conservative enough to insure solidity ana stability: its growth is founded on that lirmest of ofall foundations of wealth -natural agricultural resources.- An hundred yearsof agricultural development, will not have found the limit of growth. Springville is the natural base of supplies for the surrounding, mining camps. A large scope of count rv lies ; to the east and southeast of t lie citv i undeveloped, every acre or which eon-; tains mineral wealth. j HOUliLE CHEEK ISOfTE sll lltTICI;. The route to the reservation via Strawberry Valley and the left hand fork of IlobbleCreek canyon is twenty miles shorter than the Provo can;, on route. Hy the right hand fork it is twenty-six miles s'.iorter. The line could be run straighter and in ue direct, and the grade would be no more difficult. A short tunnel or deep cot would have to lie made to pierce the Strawb.-rry divide, but the shorter route would amply cover the extra expense and leave a margin of resource. The Kin Grande Western, in order to reach Park City and keep it direct line to the reservation, wool 1 be c impelled im-pelled to build a spur from lleber or Charleston to that place. The route then would follow Daniel's Creek up into the Strawberry Valley. The grade through Daniel's Creek canyon would prove very dillicull. Nothing has since been advanced from any quarter to prove this paper's views of the matter it is the belief of the city that the proposition still holds' good. The following is THE TltlBl'NE AKT1CLE. It has just leaked out t hat the Rio Grande Western's proposed line up Provo cu'nyon has far more important bearing than h is generally b en sup posed. It Is not solely fortln.' silver at Park City, nor the future wealth of the reservations that the line has been projected. To use the language of a railway nflicial who is on the inside, in-side, it will in time he the Utah link in the shortest line to Deim i In j several hundred miles. The Piovoj canyon leads to the Duchesne couii'n ! by a natural route, but beyond is just ; as natural an outlet eastward, and the Western's line would pass through both of the reservations, cross Crecti river midway between Ashley and Ouray, thence along the White' river into Colorado, where a connection could be effected at any point un the Denver & Ilio Grande between Newcastle New-castle and Dotsero, Glenwood being spoken of as the possible place. Put this is but a part of a feasible project that has lonif been a favorite plau of the Rio (irande Western's executive ex-ecutive ollleers, and is now being being talked of In Denver. nifl SAVING IX DISTANCE.

In view of the widespread attention which is now certain to lie given to the cultivation of the sugar beet, it is well to sound a note of warning with reference to 'ine or t wo elementary facts, the neglect of which may bring much loss and disappointment to the well meaning but, misguided husbandman. husband-man. In the tirsl place it must lie l emembefed that there are many localities Which are quite un-suited un-suited to sugar beet culture, and that these may occur within di.-lricts which are within the sugar belt, and I are. generally speaking, well adapted to beet crops, it is theiefoie desirable desir-able that the farmer should make sever, il Usis in different parts of his farm before he commits himself to t lie hazard of a full crop. Itwillimt be necessary tq plant aiiv considerable arc;!-.: sinal1, detached patches wid give him satlicieut specimens to determine de-termine the vain and quality of the cr ip. When it has been proved that In- land is suitable, the next step is to ascertain the cost of delivering the beets to the nearest, factory, and wh--t!ier it i- such as to allow beet farming to be carried on to a profit. As there are ouh a few localities in the United States where beet sugar factories exist, it will be necessary to erect factg'ie's to receive jnnd rk up the crops, and it is in making the -election of sites that, the greatest forethought and care must be exercise'). exer-cise'). Tne factory must be cent rally located with regard to the beet-growing beet-growing dist riet, and at the same time it must, if possible, be situated iiDon a railroad or have, connection through its own private sidetracks. If the enterprise is to compete successfully suc-cessfully withothers, it . should have the various materials of manufacture, such as limestone, fuel and water, within easy reach, and, of course, the nearer the factory is to the markets, the larger the net profits which will accrue to the farmer from his crop. It will be evident, from'the recent .descrintioiiy which we gave of the nto oi niaii.oiK luu, iouu itt in quires a plentiful supply of water, fuel and limestone. If any or all of these have to be brought from considerable con-siderable distance, it can be seen that the prollts of the undertaking will be seriously minced, The necessity neces-sity of raii connection is further evident, evi-dent, when we bear in mind the large amount of residue in the shap'j of 111-leied 111-leied cossets. This is a valuable feed for cattle, and with reasonable transportation afforded it could be disposed o!' at profitable prices in the out ly ing count ry. When it has been proved that the soil issuilablc, that the materials of manufacture are near at hand, and that a market can be depended upon, any agricultural district may lay out its beet farms and build its own 1 actor ac-tor y with a certain assurance t hat it will prove a prolltable, and, wdiat is better, a permanently prolltable. investment in-vestment b ith for eapitaland labor.
