Show From Idaho comos tho report of the groalcst harvest yet known, which is overcrowding the Oregon Short Tiinc, Here in Utah the several local roads aro taxed to handle the .beets and other crops. Some 13,000 eolonists'passed through this city and Ogdcn on tho last thrcu days of the movemeut, the heaviest migration mi-gration rcportod for some time. This great numbor went through within four da3-s, and but fow of thorn stopped ovor in this city, owing to the advertise mcnt sent throughout the land that, in tho opinion of tho chief executive of tho State, this city was over-run with thugs, hold-ups, thicvos and murderers. The passengers were mostly country fdlk from the middle wost, and t lioy openly stated that if what tho Governor Gover-nor says is true, this is no placo for them. Tho Utah Construction company has secured tho contract for building the California Norlhwcsforu from Willitts to Eureka. Cal. This is tho second big contract oulsido the States of fdaho and, Utah that the homo company has secured. .It is very flattering to tho niauagoment of this concern, which has grown wonderfully sinco its inception. Tho Rio Grundo has announced that surveys have been made for the St. George lino from M'arysvalo, bearing out Tribune announcements in Iho past. Jt will be a great .thing for tho Rio Grande, as it will givo it au entirely new and undeveloped country, but it will be far belter for tho people und tho industries of that section. The lust spiko in the Owcuyo connection, connec-tion, hercloforo detailed, was driven by a formor Salt Lako official, 31. V. Piatt, now general superintendent of tho' Southern Pacific at Los Angeles. The work of broad-gauging will bo pushed. President Bancroft aud parly of Utah Light officials inspected tho mammoth reserve steam plant on Friday, 'locatod , ou the Jordan, and wcro pleased -with ! the progress made. Jt; is a great cs- i tablishmont tho compaany is eroding, and will sorvo it well. Jn tho country at large, irregular conditions prevail in commercial reports, re-ports, trade boing moro limited than was expected, but tho promise of moro liberal orders by railroads gives encouragement en-couragement for tho future. Condi-tionn Condi-tionn aro uncertain at the pig iron centers, cen-ters, although a fair businoss is being done; but tho bulk of tho demand is for immediate requirements only. ThiB hand-to-mouth buying is characteristic of all forms of trado. The stock market advances by fits and slurls, and subsidoa as quickly ns it advances. Thero is a feeling of uncertainty un-certainty throughout tho trado reports, and though thoro ia plonty of monoy in the country, it is likoly that thoro will be no great rovival of activity, at least until after election. |
