Show oo : WAREHOUSES FOB i DRIGHRM CITY J BRIGHAM CITY. May 7. The Oregon Ore-gon Short Line Railroad company has ; purchased from J. H. Watkins & Sons : between three and four acres of land located east of Eighth West and south of Forest street, and. according to officials of-ficials of the company, will soon begin the work of erecting several largo i warehouses there for the shippers of 1 this city. This move is made, it is said, for the purpose of releasing rolling roll-ing stock as soon as possible after ; reaching destination. Heretofore the long haul from tho car up town by shippers and vice versa has held freight cars in the local yards much longer than necessary, and many shippers have paid demurrage rather than empty tho cars upon arrival. The warehouse movement on tho part of the railroad company is a stop toward the ultimate relief of freight congestion conges-tion In the country when warehouses are supplied along the lines. |
