Show TIIK JiJSW UTAH CKVritAL. Tbo Line Is Kxpccteil to be Pushed Througb to l'ark City Tliiit Week. John W. Young is in the city and today to-day is out on the line of his Park City road on a tour of inspection. Mr. Young's various roads have boon consolidated, consoli-dated, and since the Utah Central's absorption ab-sorption into the Union Pacilio system he has adopted tho name of the lattoi road, applying it to all his routes. In a talk with Joseph II. Young a Times reporter learned that the Park City extension of the Fort Douglas lint would probably be opened through to the former place by Saturday of this week. Tho snow in the mountains was all that prevented this consummation, and Mr. Young thought that by the end of the week the warm weather would have effectually disposed of thb barrier. Salt Lake's present communication communi-cation with Park City is limited to 1. roundabout journey, via Ogden and Echo, a distance of 104 miles, and a stage line across the mountains. The opening of Mr. Young's rosd will roduco this distance dis-tance to loss than thirty-live miles, and both cities are to be congratulated upon tho near approach of more rapid transit. |
