Show PUBLIC BENEFITS. Wliiie there is no question that railroads benefit a country, it is-queetionahle is-queetionahle whether one railroad doe" f) very much.' One thine is iure, two railroads aiors than double the benefit1 derived. We are ltd le make this lemark from a somparison of the action of the K. G. V. in this county. When they first laid their track there vta coii8:derabIe talk of an ex'.ension of the S. P. V. R, R. and they were quite anxious to please the community com-munity and also prepared to accept ill the bounties given them. Since that time the extension of the 8. P. V. has been loft eight of, and even ils existence has become questionable, as for along lime it ailed to p0y expenses. As soon as the narrow guage ihut down rates advanced and there lias been less of a disposition on their part to accomodate the people. In this respect Manti has probably less to complain of than tome of her neighbors, Spring City, Guanison 1 and galina ara still without any depot facilities ai d freight haulers ara put to considerable trouble to Set their wagons loaded, wljile passengers pas-sengers are compelled fo wait for train?, exposed to tbe'iuclemancy of the weather. It would cause a change in busine. if another road should bni.'d through Sanprte. Thai it will coine tome day is a settled fact and in the meantime, it is a good idea to give all the encouragement, en-couragement, po.-siij'te to the promoter pro-moter of such an enterprise. |
