Davis, Senior, Wilkes, et il, are demonstrating (or llio millionth time that grit and rustling still win lu tlio west, (union City, with her Brighton addl-lion, addl-lion, is getting the "move on her" thai loads to glory. F.ldorado is coming with marvelous celerity In her wake. The. "West Side l.aph' Transit" in getting there. The earthen-ware tiling of the big newer for forcing the waste of the oily Into the White Lake canal nt Huena Vista, couldn't stand the proa-Mire proa-Mire aud 18 being rapidly replaced with iron pipe. Of Course, the engineer that made the (niU)oalouIation of strain will put ii p for the trilling loss. Any plumber would consider the paying tor Jt milei of big busied newer a more bagatelle an insignificant tithing of his ordinary ehnrges. A many as twenty-five well-boring machines are now engaged in sinking pipe for artesian water on this side of tho river. Almost Invariably the "tlows" obtained are of absolute purity having no perceptible taint of miuoral of any diseriptloti. OAI1 hands on the Utah & Nevada are sending the clattering car with tumultuous tumult-uous speed after those pyramids of salt at Saltalr before the fall' rains shall resolve them back again into that element ele-ment in which tho Garfield swimmer " often deposits himself- A thousand tons are brought in every day. The contest of the desert entries of Auerbaeh and Faille, just terminating at the United States land otlice. attracted at-tracted universal attention here as nearly everybody was wanted to testify npon'one side or the other, the Immigrant Immi-grant with ltrigham, and the must recent Gentllo tenderfoot being alike called upon to toll the whole truth, in these ever to bo celebrated eases. Tho attention of tho street commissioner commis-sioner is respectfully called to the condition con-dition of the extension of Third Mouth near the west line of the city, where a break in tho canal near the slaughter lion so has gullied anil Hooded the roadway, road-way, and "picking" from the ditch to the Intersection of the north and south roatl on tho sectlou lino between to and three. A little attention now will save many a soul perhaps. A little drainage of surface water would make this whole street passable In winter in-stead in-stead of the bottomless quagmire that it always is, - Every exertion has been made by the desert eutrymim in township one north of the base linn in raugn two west, to secure stillieient water for the permanent perma-nent irrigation and reclamation uf their traels before winter. Tho proceeding has been a costly one, the main ditcli being twelve miles long perhaps, tapping tap-ping the White lake surplus canal in section three, one north, one west. The principal parties interested are Judge Hartch, Mr. Kwlng, of the Cullen: T. A. I)avis, of Tub Ti.mkk; ex-Marshal Oyer and Mr.Cohn. The elaborate network of "laterals" constructed by these parties put one in mind of General llalleck's parallels before Corinth, or Little Mac's original campaign up the James. It is a matter of much concern to west-skiers that Hates Fulton and associates as-sociates have surrendered their grades, right of way etc., for tho road west to good hands. J. H. Haeon, now leading the new management, Is thoroughly In earnest right from the beginning. The press of the city has often appealed to the business men of the city to raise the money ueeded to put this road through to Dovp Creek at once, and I want to bring to the mind of every person interested in-terested in Salt Lake City that he, she or they should give instant heed to the warnings of our newspaper mem The Judgnnmnt of one level-headed man in charge of a uewspaoer is worth forty times as much as that of any other citizen, no matter how intelligent respecting the events that are shaping themselves for the future fu-ture weal or woe of his city. Scanning every day the great journals issued at surrounding commercial centers, be can as correctly foresee the effect of this or that combination in railroad circles npon the future business inler-terests inler-terests and growth of his town s General Gen-eral Greeley sitting at Washington can foreast the caprices of "Old Probabilities," Probabili-ties," Over and over again the newspapers have warned the men of means of Salt Lake that while the very advantageous situation of the city had so far practical practi-cal I v raised her to tho sovereignty in trade of much surrounding territory, yet this would not alwsys bo so; that mighty changes among th corporations controlling the whole traffic of this inter-mountain country were pending, and that there must be constant alert-no, alert-no, and industry, and liberality on the part of this city to keep her abreast of these coming charges. If her neighbors neigh-bors are to continue to conlribete to her riches and splendor and power she must improve the facilities of rorre-snondenee rorre-snondenee with them. If she is to continue con-tinue to delight herself with being considered con-sidered the queen of the territorial cities, she must never turn her gaz away from the perils or advantages that the combinations of the tict sixty days nisy have in store for her. Time and time again the newspapers of the city have called attention to the f ai -bility of changing th plao of meeting of the traffic over the Central Pacific and Union I'acifie roads. Suppose steps had been promptly taken to Ibat end thre years atfo, how easily and naturally the bant 1", or the IWk inland, cr tho Burlington would have dropped a terminal here. P.y all means l;t the city make th ef-fort'now, ef-fort'now, when a new combination of capital gives her another chance. Of course not so hastily as to tw unwiw! and indiscreet about guarding her future fu-ture relations with the new road. If built. See that these things er right, and then go ahead at once. The request re-quest made for right of way, together with the terminal facilities asked for, M-ern entirely reasonable, and the council coun-cil should take favorable action in mediate;', |
