I ' For four years the uncertainties involved in the merger ease Ibcfore the United States courts have caused the Harriman roads tu follow a halting policy in regard to terminal improvements. From mow on there should be a vigorous forward movement on the parti of the Union Pacific, as that road's rights are well defined by the supreme court decision. A terminal such as that at Ogden should ibe among the first to receive attention. We look forward to the time when the Central Pacific will be a division of the Union Pacific. Then Ogden, as the center and 'heart of that system, reaching from Omaha to San Francisco, might eet up a claim to headquarters. I With the opening of spring, the Union Pacific, after being forced to sell its Southern Pacific. stock, should have a plethora of funds I with which to continue the work of double-tracking the Union Pa-I Pa-I I oifie east of here and the Central Pacific west to the coast. There, , j should be no lack of money for improvements unless a heavy distri-! distri-! ! bution of cash assets to the stockholders bp ordered. ' 'Double-tracking through Weber and Echo canyons would call j ! for a force of 2,000 or 3,000-rncn during a period of two years, and I j i would add much to this city's prosperity. i i |
