| Show UTAH enterprise A special to the news yesterday announced the departure orf at a surveying party from provo having in view the eventual short lining of the way to denver via hobble creek and connee tion with a trunk line further along the promised reduction of miles between the metropolis of utah and that of at colorado would be e an immense advantage to both and to all points po inta and places tributary or contiguous thereto when one reflects upon the possie possibility t y of knocking that much travel out of f I 1 t the e road between two great points he is led to inquire how it was that so much superfluous space was put into it in the first place ten hours saved in these busy times timea means a whole lot of money grained and a wonderful lot more of business transacted in the course of a year let us hope the scheme will not like many others we have had in this state for several sevell long years have its only existence on paper push it through on the heels of this announcement comes another almost as gratifying and quite as promising of success it is that the oregon short line will be extended from milford to stateline Stat eline this year the work is in strong and willing hands A W mccune david eccles R C lund and C W nibley a combination that could scarcely be improved upon the extension will serve the treble purpose of making money for its project projectors orb stimulating to a great extent the development and commercial status gathe district and its surroundings foun roun dings and being a practical beginning to the long talk edof line to los loa angeles the latter consideration is the one that appeals most strongly to the great body of our people because of the manifold and well distributed benefits certain to follow but either is something we can all afford to and edy will feel pleased over all the while the deep creek railway continues its rip van winkle siesta why this should be the case is a question which is all the more vexed by reason of the inability of anybody to answer it the country Is so nearly level tor for the whole distance that the grading would be a nominal expense while the topography Is such that curving would only be necessary in a few places and the degree of curvature at these quite moderate thus making the firack building an easy thing to accomplish A narrow gauge would do to begin with perhaps for several years and it could be completed and trains running within three months from the time work commenced in good earnest the amounts amO Tints that such a road would earn from the beginning are known in advance to be so great that the stock of the enterprise would never pt get much below par and might in a comparatively short abort time be expected to go above it the deep crek mineral deposits are wonderful in their vastness and mean richness insuring to the railway company full trains as often as they could run them for a long time and the natural wealth of which but the merest colety is now available would then pour out but upon the world of finance in a steady voluminous stream it would er enrich alch those who have properties there the great majority being flan men make endless money tor for the railway and be the means of bringia about a new era em of prosperity IT ir our midst why it to is that so splendid so certain and so great a speculation is so long kept kent in abeyance through the inaction and irresolution of men of capital is orre one of the mysteries why not take the subject up and set the project on foot in a practical determined way |
