Show Utah Southern R, R. We understand under-stand that the officers of the Utah Southern railroad have been actively engaged the past few days in selecting a location for their road. A very feasible feas-ible one is found by starting from the U. C. R. R. depot and running south on 3rd West street to 9th South street, thence east along that street to 3rd East, thence south through the Big Field on the street just east of the State road nearly to Cottonwood, Cot-tonwood, whence it would take an eastwardly course towards Union. Should this line be adopted, a branch line will start from a point near Unior and run up to the mouth of Little Cottonwood, Cot-tonwood, and as much farther up the canon as practicable. It is, however, represented by some whose judgment entitle their opinions to respect, that a still better route can be found west of the State road, than that east of it. These matters no doubt will be fully investiga ted by the officers before they finally determine the line. Altogether, Altoge-ther, we understand that the grade of the land is highly favorable to building build-ing a railroad, very little grading being required. We learn it is the intention to push the road forward with all possible pos-sible celerity, and work may be expected ex-pected to commence any day. |
