R. R G. G and the Union Pacific defeated the Denver bonds for the Moffit roads road's tunnel Be this as it may the fact is that money loaners are unwilling to risk investment nt now in another road of this character Utah money is in interested interested interested in- in in its the U. U P. P and it is only natural that such backing would endeavor to get the U. U P. P to open un UD the Basin This is what is s going doing on The U. U P P. P can build any day it decides decides decides de de- to do so In our opinion supported by events of recent late date which we are re not at liberty to mention in de detail lil the Union Pacific will start star active work on oni i 1 1 line from the system in by next spring We make as a prediction as as we cannot say more at this time that the U. U P. P will be into the basin jasin before any other road uness unless unless un un- I less ess the Uintah decides to extend which is quite likely |
