Show Action Taken by Group of Utahns Outcome of Recent Trip Made by Governor and Party. Many Business Concerns Con-cerns Make Subscriptions Subscrip-tions and Others Promise Prom-ise to Help Enterprise. Formation of the Uintah Improvement corporation for the express purpose ot building a railroad into Uintah basin as soon as it is physically possible, and to develop the vast resources of that famous fa-mous Utah treasure house to produce tonnage for the road, was launched at a meeting of several score of the state's prominent business men in tho Commercial Commer-cial club last night. The enterprise, fathered fa-thered and fostered by Governor Bamberger, Bam-berger, now takes definite shape, with the selection of a committee to represent repre-sent the subscribers to stock in the corporation cor-poration and the raising of a fund with which to complete surveys and all necessary nec-essary preliminary work. This corporation corpora-tion will proceed at once to secure the right of way and make all other arrangements ar-rangements that must necessarily precede pre-cede actual construction wrork. The action taken last night is the outcome out-come of the governor's recent trip to the basin, the preliminary surveys which ho has had made, the offers of persons interested in-terested in Uintah basin mineral properties proper-ties to join in the railroad project, and the promise of support of the business interests of Salt Lake given by the board of governors of the Commercial club. The committee which is designated to form the Uintah Improvement corporation corpora-tion consists of Governor Bamberger, Heber J. Grant, Lester D. Freed, A. W. Ivins, J. W. Clyde, M. T. Streeter, W. H. Smart, T. N. Taylor, LeRoy Dixon, H. T. Reynolds, Frank A. Fisher, James "V. Collins, John Dern, W. J. Hallorah, It. C. Gemmell, R. R. Inch, George T. Odcll, Dr. G. G. Richards, M. H. Sowles, John C. Cutler, W. R. "Wallace, E. A. Cuibertson, L. H. Farnsworth, "W. W. Armstrong, W. L. Wattls, R. E. Bristol, Frank Pingree, T. W. Boycr and C. S. Burton. TWENTY-NINE MEN ' SIGN AGREEMENT. Twenty-nine signatures, each signer agreeing to make a preliminary subscription subscrip-tion of $1000 at once, were attached to an agreement for the formation of the corporation at the meeting last night. A number of other heads of leading business busi-ness institutions expressed their eagerness eager-ness to join and subscribe, but asked that their actual signatures be deferred until today, when they would consult with their business associates. It is the im. us proposed by the governor, to raise S-50.000 at once for the preliminary work, and the response made Inst niarh't indicates beyond question of a doubt that the money desired will be secured within a very short time.
