Show ECCLES SPUR TO BE BUILT. 1,200 Acres Of Beets have Been Secured. I . When Pressed Mr. Eccles 1 Says "We'll Build." M Mr. David Eccles has given the word Wt that "the spur"" for the south end of K iSife tllc colint' "I" uc built and lias '" ff structcd beet contractois to begin K planting. H This word comes from lllshop Lll- M Jenqulst, of Ilyrum, who has been w very active .In the campaign for con- H tracts. Before leaving for conference . Ulshop Llljcnqulst called Mr. Kccles H by 'phone and told him that the mat- ter had come to a show down. The I time for seeding had-arrived and as H . many contracts had been secured as I were obtainable. Mr. Eccles Inquired I , the acreage and was told 1,:!00. He then told Mr. Llljcnqulst that the spur would bebulltand that lie should 1 instruct the farmers to begin their I sowing of beet seed. I This seems to end the matter so far as the Eccles bcetroad is concerned. I Whether the O. S. L. lays the rails, constructs tlio bed, and Mr. Eccles furnish the tics is no longer of any n moment. Tlio spur will be built and ft In sufficient tlmo for use next fall. It I was the desire -of the sugar factory a people to secure fioml350 to 1500 acres 1 of beets in the south, but when it 1 came to a "show-down" as Bishop Lll- X jenqulst said, they waved a point. H Tho route to be used is not clear to jR us and at this writing it is Impossible Bj -& t0 et tne desired accurate Informa H W tlon. However, as near as lite situa- R tlon be reached, It appeal's that the JS spur to Ilyrum will be on a direct line from the factory, passing Mlllvllleon I ,- the west quite a distance. A brancli H 'is supposed to reach Wcllsvllle also but whether this will be run down (0 from Ilyrum, or will tun direct from 9 tlio factory Is a question. It is possl-Mj possl-Mj that there may bo ;Hoop. W The recent agitation as to whether m this road would have a passenger scr- 9 vice lias died out completely. It is H generally accepted now that the road Is to be used for beet tralllu alone. l'i eight might be hauled, but there is I no longer any clamor about tills or B passenger service. The people in the I - south end want the O. S. L. loop ex-I ex-I tended and will not be satlslled with i anytlilng else. |
