Show RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION IN SIGHT. Surveyors are at -work on a line connecting the Union Pacific railroad with tho Uintah basin in eastern Utah. The new road may connect with the main line at Echo and, if it does, the route will prove to be of direct benefit to Ogden, as this would be the terminal point of traffic Uintah is an undeveloped empire, with vast possibilities and its opening up would result in much added wealth to tho state. With a better feeling In railroad circles and prosperity coming with a rush, we may expect a resumption of railroad construction In the west, the Oregon Short Line may be expected expect-ed to complete the line from Burley to Saline and the Union Pacific no doubt will continue doubling tracking through Wober and Echo canyons to Evan8ton. a piece of road which marks the Union Paclfl's weakest point in through traffic. oo |
