Show MORE RAILWAY EXTENSIONS. The Incorporation of a railway company com-pany to extend the Chicago & Northwestern North-western Railway company from Casper, Wyoming, to Ogden, Is announced. Its name Is tho Chicago & Pacific, and its articles of Incorporation have been filed at Cheyenne. This is the natural move following tho extension by the Belgian Oil company com-pany of the road to Lander. The Inevitable In-evitable step of further extension westward west-ward was sure to come, and come speedily. There Is already a very satisfactory sat-isfactory survey from tho present terminus of tho Northwestern In Wyoming Wy-oming to Ogden. With recard to the San. Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lako, denial Is made by Mr. J. Ross Clark that there has been or Is to bo any transfor of that line to the Short Line; he maintaining that this, the Salt Lake route, is to be an Independent line, not merged Into any other system, but affording an open gateway to the coast, for all connecting connect-ing lines, on equal terms. Senator W. A. Clark Is reported to have rea,ffirmed this again yesterday. Thin is what he has always maintained. He says there 13 no reason to change his statements heretofore made. All of which Is highly satisfactory to the people peo-ple of this city, and exactly what they want to see. The reports from the Moffat road are most encouraging. Word comes from Boulder that fifteen hundred men are at work on the line building hither-wards hither-wards from Denver, and that one hundred hun-dred cars loaded with rails from the Illinois Steel company are coming In and will be laid without delay. All theBe extensions are Important for Utah, and will add materially to Its development and wealth. There la room for all, and Salt Lake City will see its advantage in every one of them. |
