Show GOULD ROAD EN IDAHO. The Western Pacific railroad officials have made a trip from Wells, Nevada, into the Twin Falls country, accompanied by prominent prom-inent people of the Nevada town. At Twin Falls the party was shown the resources of that district and royally entertained. The object of the investigation is the feasibility of a branch of the Western Pacific from Wells into southern Idaho. Before a decision de-cision is reached the Publicity bureau of Ogden should appeal to the Gould people and urge on them the advantages to be gained by extending ex-tending the Denver & Rio Grande, which is the parent road of the Western Pacific, from Ogden north into the granary of Idaho. While a road from Wells might prove an inviting outlet for traffic to the Pacific coast, a line from Ogden would serve the same purpose in addition to offering a long haul over the Rio Grande on eastern freight and presenting a short cut between southern Idaho and this part of Utah which, in trade relations, are inseparable. Let us not go to sleep while this big railroad scheme on the part of the Gould people is under consideration. |
