| Show WHO WANTS to fight THERE seem seems s to 6 be e some misunderstanding in the minds of fe of our citizens in alati relation c n to eastern railroad it is isa a mistake to suppose that the tho company compans organized to build fiu iida lida ilda a narrow guage duag ge lali railroad raa d jom from Co alville to this city eity has undertaken a fl foght ilu lit with tho aillon paci company id iri the s staat start tir tuf til this is 1 enterprise some gentlemen of this city who owned coal mines at coalville Co alville finding no good opportunity of bringing their coal to the salt lake or any other market conceived the project of building a railroad as a means of su supplying re plying this city coal the plan pian was received with favor by the public as soon as mentioned for several reasons first it was a notorious nat orious and often lamentable fact that just at the time when the public need of coal was the greatest the supply was the smallest second the price offiel of fuel fuei was considered al altogether together too high 0 for a region of county almost s surrounded rounded ur by coal fields thir third d people who complained of either eithe r g grievance grievance ri evance evanee were otten often met with rude and uncivil re rejoinders rejo reio J j inders lnders and sometimes received insults for ax answers to respectful inquires these causes r aroused public indignation and many persons persona felt wiling to join in n any enterprise that gave promise of a release from the disagreeable position in which the bom community was wag placed tile the gho gwo I 1 measure re became a popular one a and nd tha thet shares being placed paced within easy reach a great number invested small sums in the capital stock of the company many of or these may have entered into the concern smarting under a feeling of injury and with a desire to re relieve themselves of the bondage of a monopoly but the project was not undertaken der taken in any spirit of fight however the union pacific company saw fib fit to parallel the utah eastern road with a broad guage also to get possession of a piece ece eco of the public highway in t the e construction of their 1 line I by which the traveling public were forced four miles out of their usual route and over a country by which they could only haul half as much as by the old way thus hindering the coal traffic by teams further bhea when the tho utah eastern had purchased rails ralis and rolling stock in the wes west dt with the understanding that the freight over the union pacific should be but 36 per carload carioad car load dUto andulo an to coalville Co alville on the arrival of ther theT freight the latter company refused to transport it for it less liss ss than 85 pe car load all thi this does savor of fight if there is js any fight on hand then itis itic it ia the U P F not the U E which ilas lias started it il but there is no need for an any y unpleasantness the utah E astern eastern road is to
