Show The Utah Northern. We learn from privato advicon that a propwiiLion will probably bti made by representatives o( the Utah North-urn North-urn road looking to its extension to lioiworliofui valley for und in consideration consid-eration of aid from this territory. Two or three mooting havo taken place fast iu which rcprcaentativts of tho Union Pacific and Utah Northern railroads were present and at which the project was considered. It in in eouteiuplaliun that Mr. Royal if. Hit&tett and two others shall come, to Montana and make their proposition dincl to tho legislature, h in further behoved Mr. iinasetl will nut come unless he has full authority to make aspeoitio proposition and give such guarantee as the territory may require re-quire for the speedy construction and operation nf the road. Tho rnml in now only completed to Krunklm. But all tho heavy work has been dono for twenly-tivo nnlrs this side; an iron bridge for tho river at Franklin, Frank-lin, wooden bridges for other streams, and a large amount of ties and rail are now lying at that town. It is estimated by engineers that $30,00U will put the twenty-five miles in running run-ning condition. The stoppage of work this summer has boen on account ac-count of disagreement between Mr. Richardson and the Mormon stockholders stock-holders in that portion of the road now completed. He holds a mort-jrtKo mort-jrtKo on it and the interest ha a been defaulted. Various propositions to I aiimst tbe diflerences have been con- j aidered, but none satisfactorily, and so no work was done. Mr. Bawett will probably explain the situation fully when he comes.
