Show H CEDAR CITY'S BRIGHT PROSPECTS H Y' ' " ''"' ('ernto as.sunuH'e that Cedar City B will bo connected with the outside world by H rail within the net si months, with our wealth H of natural resources awaiting only better trans H portation facilities for their development, with the BJ construction program now under way at the prop- H erty of the Iron County Coal Company, and with H the necessities of the war furnishing an irrisist- H able demand for coal and iron, of which we have H such a great abundance, it appears that the clock H has struck for our prosperity. Tlyit one or the oth H er of the projected railroads into Cedar City will B be built, is almost a certainty. That only one line H will be built at present between Lund and this H place, is also certain. As to which road will be H built, there may be some difference of opinion, H but tne fact that one of the projects is being on- j couraged and backed by the Salt Lake Route, of BBB which it will be a tributary branch, makes it ap H p u '- --lable that the longer road, leaving Lynn- BflflflU dyl and running via Fillmore, Holden. Kanosh, HH I' "tiv )t and Parowan to Cedar City, is the most H probable of fruitation. The further fact that the H Salt Lake Route has had a branch line from Lund H to Cedar City surveyed and blue-printed for many B months, and has been awaiting only the time when H developments should appear ripe before construct- H ing the road, also adds assurance. Hut it also H appears probable that the activity of W. K. Yors- H ton and the Utah Development company has had H a stimnlating effect upon the promoters of the H 'cr..er road. However this may be, it will all be up H to Director MaAdoo and his department to say H who shall build the road, and as soon as his sanc- B tion is received it seems certain that actual con- H struction work will begin at once. And with the H building of the road it is believed that other de- H veloprnents will come thick and fast. |
