Show j A 4 ROAD 10 TJ TO O ST ST. T. T Ono of or the bright ht dream a that Utah may mayIs lealh Is 19 now nOt entertained b by a a. number n of oS Salt Sail Lake Lako men inca It Is for iOl a. a Rood good broad hl highway hwa rom from

quality can eAn bo be made for Tor twenty five hundred dollars a mile Such a a. road therefore would woul cost cl close c to a a. million dollars Most of our people know lenow th time the stretch of
