H THAT AUTO ROAD. 1 I Salt Lake papers continue to boost Xor a ne-w traus-contiucntal H J onto routs through Salt Lake. The Tribune of this morning says: H i "."Wdth the exception of a few miles between Price aud Scoficld, H ' gooH roads enthusiasts and aulomobilists believe a passable road has Hl been mapped out between Salt Lake and Denver by a southern Ht j toute which fills in the link between San Francisco aud the oast Hl ( , ."with Salt Lako as a central point. The new road will be printed in Hl Jne international guide book as one of the trans-continental roads. B L Members of the good roads committee and members of the automo- B bile committee met at the Commercial club Friday night to hear H , xncmbors of a pathfinders' parly tell of the new route, which the B : P.arty has just traversed, arriving in Salt Lake Friday morning. B "Tho new road will give tourists a route through Salt Lake in- fl Ktead of sending them down tlirough New Mexico and Arizona or up H torth, either of which routes left Salt Lako out. The party will H i ittcmpt to blaze a new road from. Salt Lake to San Francisco thcrc- H '4 by cutting off -100 miles on that end of the route. The party left H Moline, HI., for the express purpose of finding the new route." H j "Or up north' we presume refers to the route through "Weber H j canyon and Ogden. The southern Utah route, as compared with tho H i"Wyoming route, seems almost impossible, yet there is nothing H j impossible to those who are energetic and enthusiastic. H i Lu tho meantime, we understand, tho "Weber club' is to take H .action looking toward a better understanding of the transcontinental H travel by automobile and of the proposed changes in routes.
