Show CHANGES BY THE MOFFAT ROUTE I The building of time Moffat road from Denver to Salt Lake City has passed the transition point from hope to assurance and people living withIn reach of the proposed route are estimating the sweeping changes that will occur and the extent of the developments that must assuredly follow These will be the more apparent because the road will traverse a region of country very sparsely settled and far from other railroads rail-roads the only hnptoveu sections along the route through Utah being the Ashley valley and a small portion of the Indian reservation Imperative demands de-mands of an Increased population will precipitate changes scarcely thought of today A new county will ue so essentially necessary that a special session of the Legislature may be asked for if not demanded if the matter Is not attended to at the next regular session The Army Post and Indian Agency will no longer be the biggest things in the country and the smoke from forges of industry will darken the heavens and the arc light flash in the Indians wickiup reminding him of a brighter day to come when his allotment Mill bring more money than he can possibly count in stven sleeps This is not all n dream for the Indians In-dians will have the best land and still be getting annuity money and will put on much style They will come out of their shell and dress up like Amen cats Some of them will move to town and build houses with Queen Anne fronts and Mary Ann backs and the painting of their homes will be a pleasing contrast from the while mans Golid colors without designs or natuve studies Becoming friendly even sociable in the new town Mrs Red Beaver will be sending over lo Mrs Jones for the loan of her curling tongs Mrs White Eagle will ask the favor oCher oC-her opera glasses for an evening at the theater and oIls Yellow Crow would like to borrow a skirt with a trail for the New Years ball and Mrs Jones may probably wish the Indians were in Halifax The knowing ones say the road Is going go-ing to fnjlow the streams and this would mean a long stretch of the lineup line-up the Duchesne A division and roundhouse round-house will be established most likely either at the crpssing of Green river or the Duchesno and the latter place seems the more reasonable About I twentyfive miles from White Rocks and fifteen from Ft Duchcsnc Is a stage station known as The Bridge the posloffiee Is Myton and at this point the Price road crosses the river In many respects this is an ideal place for a town or city The abundant supply of clear water cool and refreshing all summer long coming from the melting mountain drifts Is an attraction that will draw railroad magnates and all others To this point the Vernal people would have a drlveof thirtyfive miles but it may be possible for them to reach the road by i a shorter route farther east This new town at The Bridge would be in Wasatch county about 150 miles from the county seat and the progressive progres-sive settlers will not put up with such a condition without an exhibition of nervousness and will at once agitate the formation of a new county The first I ton located along the line of the Moffat road In Colorado Is Baltimore Balti-more which is already publishing a paper pa-per and putting on metropolitan style Bttweon the Rockies and the Wasateh range there is almost sure to be a prosperous pros-perous city and the building of the road and opening of the reservation will revolutionize the entire district of country Salt Lake City cannot fail to profit by reason of the demands upon her for everything a new und developing < regina re-gina must have and later by the shipment ship-ment of products to this the nearest market besides this shortest railroad line between the two mountain cities means so much every way that Its beneficent ben-eficent effects upon Zion cannot now be measured |
