Show BOXELDER TO GET " : A11IHAIL1I : Proposition to Run New Ej tension of S. P. From Kel ton Is Considered. Special to The Tribune. j BRIG HAM CITY, Nov. 7. There ar' good prospect s of another branch rat : road for Boxelder county within th very near future. According to n ports reaching here from Howell, loca ed in the Lurlew valley, a meetio was hold there a few days ago whic was attended by officials of the Soutl era Pacific Railroad company an which was called for the purpose c discussing a proposed branch line of th Southern Pacitic from Lampo u through that fertile valley. Lampo i the first station west of Blue creek o the old line of the Southern Pacific, an from this junction point the railroa would traverse the Blue Creek valle; thence on through Pocatello valley ict Curlew valley to Holbrook, in the f u: thermost part of the state. Already this section is becoming tb greatest grain -producing section in tb state, and with the railroad eitendin through that region the grain prodin tion would soon be doubled, as man people are holding back on account c . the extremely loDg haul of grain to tb j railroad. At the meeting of the farmers an railroad men. it is said, the railroad o: 1 ficials made the farmers a propositio that if they would build the grade t whatever point they desired the rat ' road terminated, the company woul i lay the t ies and steel and place th road in readiness for operation and ru , trains over the branch. As the proposed road would exten for a good many miles, the nndertakin is a big one, and the farmers wer unable to settle on the matter at tb ! time, but promised the officials to gi the proposition thorough consideratio before rejecting the offer. Sprviee ovpr such a proposed roa J would, in all likelihood, be operate out of this city, as the Southern Pi cific company is now making Brighai the terminus of the Kelton brand from which the proposed Curlew e: l i tension would be run. 1 |
