Show THE ROAD TO THE COAST the long talked of railroad from this city to southern california still continues a paper road almost periodically our people are worked up to a fever heat on the subject and they are assured time and time again that the road is a sure go this has happened so often that it is now somewhat difficult to arouse any enthusiasm on the subject and there are many who who will not believe that the long lon contemplated road will be built until they hear the whistle of the locomotive and go 0 o over the line in pullman cars those who have hoped against hope regarding r the los angeles road for so many years cannot be blamed for doubts expressed when now new railroad propositions present themselves for consideration and yet it now looks as if such a project had taken tangible shape inasmuch as ga a wheel within a wheel has been created in in the furtherance of the enterprise in other words the construction company has been organized and it is given out that actual work will be begun at once the empire construction company is the name of the organization and it is said to have in its treasury with which to begin operations some of its members and officials being utah citizens this begins to look more and more like business and as the life of the construction tion company is for a period of only five years it would appear that the road would be built within this limit of time if at all with such gains recorded in preliminary work the next question which presents itself is the one of route and many are on the anxious seat as to which way the road will go on its way to the coast many are of the opinion that it will absorb the oregon short line as far as milford and then follow along the line of the utah pacific to the utah nevada line others still are sanguine that the stockton branch of the oregon short line will furnish the most feasible route and that from this point the new road will connect with tin tic camps and eventually eventually y with the oregon 0 short line again at a point near leamington leavington Lea which would materially distance when compared with other routes proposed in any event build along whichever route it may the construction of the road the building of the connecting link between this city and los Angele swill be hailed with pleasure and delight by citizens of both places who realize the importance and benefit connected with the building of this proposed road to tidewater tide water |
