Show HOW OGDEN AND SALT LAKE CAN WORK TOGETHER. A commit to from the Commercial club of Salt l.ake met with repre- lentsilvea of the Weber rlub last evening and passed the following resolutions: res-olutions: RESOLVED, by the Joint committees commit-tees of the Weber club of Ogden and the Commercial club of Salt l.ake. that Salt Lake Clt and Ogden from an offensive and defensive alliance, land that we ask our respective clubs I to pledge themselves as follows; FirstThat the Salt l ake City Commercial rlub pledge itself to see that both Ogden and Salt Ixike City I are placed Upon the main line of an transcontinental highway that may be adopted. "Second That the Weber club I pledge itself to see that both Salt Lake City and Ogden are placed upon up-on the main line of any transcontl-nantal transcontl-nantal highwaj that mav be adopted. 'Third That each cluh pledge itself it-self to work as dillgentlv in this matter mat-ter for the other clubs town as It works for its own town.

Salt Lake, no doubt, knows this and the committee from the Commercial cluh seemingly concedes that much, realizing real-izing that the proposed Midland trail through Colorado and southern Utah is not feasible and could not he traelcd dining a great part of the year Salt Lake already has made many promises to the towns in southern' Utah along the Midland trail Hid I the committee that came to Ogden I last night have in contemplation the' breaking of those obligations, and. if so. when Is an obligation to be considered binding by our neighbors?! The answer exonerating Salt Lake of; double dealing would be a statement to the effect that, though the Mid- I land route had been declared passable, pass-able, a more careful investigation 'had proved it to be not feasible. Salt Lake and Ogden should labor , with united effort for the Overland i trail coming from the east down Weber We-ber canyon and proceeding- west from here around the north end of the lake, with the trip from here to Si t Lake as a part of that route. The I road from Ogden to Salt Cake should be made a boulevard so Inviting that no transcontinental tourist could resist re-sist the temptation to make the thlr-ty-aeven-mile Journev With that accomplished, ac-complished, then Ogden and Salt lke I could reap the greatest possible benefit bene-fit trom the through automobile trav-lel trav-lel and neither have reason to nurse distrust. |
