mites miles of tills this city efty and that the engineers of that roa are running the line tine from the meuth DM of Weber canyon directly towards toward thin city eity Within less Jess than a week the thep pathfinders p of ot this great system will reach re ch the city limits The Th party of Burlington engineer engine whose who e progress ess on the survey through h to the mouth of Weber canyon has baa been noted from time to time yester yesterday ye yesterday ler day started a line Une southward across the bench south and west we t of Weber county a point six miles east of ot Ogden The destination of f this is Salt Lake but whether this is t te be bea a spur or whether bethe the line Une running from rom the tIle point of divergence nce Ogden is to be a spur is a question que full of importance to the people of both cities Course Cours of the Road Bead The line as run thus far fa emerges from Weber canyon on the west side aide of the river which is in m Davis county CouRty and does not into Weber coun comma county county ty at any time However the engin engineers engineers engineers state that a line is to be run from the point of divergence into Ogden and that the surveys are ara ar merely pre preliminary preliminary and must be submitted to the head engineers office for to approval Coming close upon the announce announcement ment meat that the Burlington is negotiating neg with Kilpatrick Bros to construct the theline thelin theline line lin the new development is significant si cant Kilpatrick In Town B R J T of Nebraska Nebra ka head bead of Kilpatrick

Colorado Midland in the vicinity of As Aspen Aspen Aspen pen His company is doing must most of or orthe the work for to the Burlington in Ja tl this 8 region re on and while Mr claimed to be returning from Puget Sound and a trip of inspection around round Sherman hill hilt Wyoming it is in Jy supposed ed that his hiB visit vi lt in Wyoming IM bad to do with other matters As AB wes was stated in yesterdays Herald Kilpat Kilpatrick Kilpatrick rick Bros are negotiating for Burling Burlington ton contracts between Guernsey Guern ey and Salt Lake and to see the company be begin begin begin gin work right away on the long Teng looked for extension to this city would not be surprising While in the city Mr Kilpatrick met H M McCartney the well known engineer upon whom the incorporators of the Los Lo Angeles Salt Lake placed so much reliance in inthe Inthe inthe the selection of their rout rou described de yesterday It was currently reported that Mr Kilpatrick had gone over the th Burling Burlington ton survey between Guernsey Guern ey and Og Ogden Ogden Ogden den with a representative of the rail nUl railroad railroad road company but he refused refu ee to con oon confirm confirm firm the report The route of the Los Angeles A I Salt Lake railroad described in yesterdays Herald is Ig generally conceded among the incorporators to be the one that will be adopted Additional confirma confirmation tion was secured from local men inter interested interested Interested ested in the project yesterday During the meeting last Thursday H HM Hitt JM M McCartney was invited to give th the i ne ora a talk on Utah geography and the surveys that have hae already been run out of Salt Lake south which he be did with the aid ahl of a large map Every possible way into Salt Lake and out of the state was de described described described scribed including a parallel of the Short Line tracks south through h Utah Utahan an ani Juab counties a divergence south after reaching Saltair Sa Ita ir or a line still ill ilI further west as a tar far as Deep Creek before going south Only by the first named could any towns of importance ha b reached but hut as there is so iIO much country ready to be developed it was wa the opinion that either of the other tw two o would be as advantageous in the long longrun longrun longrun run from a business standpoint At Atan any an rate the route along the edge of the lake to Garfield oar thence south sout along the west side of ot Tintic and eventually to Leamington on the Short Line is the theone theone theone one considered most feasible by the directors After reaching Leamington hili hill the country is open nearly to the boundary line and there is a question whether the line Jine will Ill strike off on to the we wet went t or cross cro the Short Line tracks track and con continue continue continue on south to leave the state event eventually eventually eventually In the very southwest corner The latter seems more likely This Thin survey was made in 1889 by IL H HM ILM M 14 McCartney and others for the Ore Oregon Oregon Oregon gon Short Line and it Includes three ways over the rim of the basin Three Years to Complete It The question Is often asked as to how howlong howlong howlong long it will take to build the Los Lo An Angeles Angeles Angeles geles road S A Bemis one ODe of the time di dl directors directors rectors said in answer to this that it might be three years before trains were being run regularly For the first two years yeara said Id be he hethe bethe bethe the whole matter is practically In the hands of or the construction eo company They will have the contract t to build and equip the road and it ought not notto notto notto to take more than a couple coup of years to get the thing timing pretty nearly completed ed But I expect It wilt will m be he three years before the time road Is really in ift shape for fer regular traffic Mr Ir Bemis is of the opinion that the I road means more to the state th than the people of or Utah realize realise rea Use and in hi so saying he be says he be does not lose iose sight of the appreciation of the people that it is Ja a great enterprise The visiting officials return from their Corinne duck hunt this morning and during the day will probably leave fr i ithe the east The articles of incorporation of tb construction and development e sn panle are
