In Northeastern Utah. What Counties?" Wasatch and Uintah Counties. How do you get there?" Over the D & R.G. railroad. Gel off either at Mack, Colorado, Price or Colton, Utah. Leaving the railroad at one of the last two points shortens the overland travel one half. At present the U. S. mail route is between Price and Myton, and is something more than a day's travel by Concord coach. Leaving the railroad at Colton, one lands at Theodore, in the heart of the former reservation and the natural gateway into the Uintah Basin, in one day's short travel, 30 miles distance, or in less time if by automobile. Don't wait for the iron horse and other kindred luxuries. If you do you will have to pay for them. Come now and share the inconveniences and luxuries of the pioneer. It will do you good. This is virgin land, blessed with an unexcelled climate, perpetual sunshine, productive soil, ribboned with silvery streams of sparkling water, abundant for domestic, power and irrigation purposes. :n In the past five years our sturdy pioneers have eliminated hardships. Good roads now traverse our territory, steel bridges span our turbulent streams, the telegraph, telephone and daily mail now afford ample means of communication with the outside world. Buy land now while it is cheap. It will grow in value while you sleep. We have more land than we have people to cultivate. You will double or quadruple your means within five years.
