Show SALT LAKE ROUTE RESUMES. The announcement that the Salt Lake Route will resume through traffic on June 15 was Teceived with satisfaction by the friends of ''Utah's most popular railroad," and that means by the whola population of the state. The railroad has had a strenuous time since the last day of the old year and the first day of 1910, when unprecedented floods washed out the tracks in the Meadow Valley wash. That flood paralyzed the system, and there were A Anhtp nrriiinpeol Tn- T-i linn ttih 1 A nnA r fr built. But the men at the head of the great railroad rail-road have wonderful faith in the value of their line, and while they are planning to rebuild the road through another part of Nevada which will cut out the Meadow Valley wash, it was realized that the quickest way to open up Salt Lake's great artery of trade to the southwest was to rebuild on the old line, and this wa3 done. Already announcements of special excursion rates have been made, along with the announcement of the resumption of through traffic. The railroad is going after the business again, after its nearly six months' layoff. To handle this business, most of the old force, the force which did so much to give the railroad its title of "Utah's most popular road," will return to the same positions they held before the flood. There will be a few changes, as some of the old employes have found other positions, posi-tions, but the personnel of the forces in Salt Lake will be about the same as it was when the floods put the line out of business. The people generally will wish the road better luck now. Its success is so intimately associated with the progress of Salt Lake that we are but echoing the general sentiment when we offer our congatulations and best wishes. |
