people 0 pi 0 of 0 the building of the f pacific 4 i 11 c short line froin sioux city to ogden is to absolutely certain there are a number of negotiations yet pending though I 1 am not sufficiently acquainted with them to elate state bow how eoon they may be consummated on them depends entirely the timo time at which we can commence coin mence work As you are aware the contract for the construction of the whole line from ONil an ll to oden ogden was let sometime some time ago to scullin fc steacy there was a rumor aal afloat at at that time that the contract was a tike fake that too much reliance should na be placed in that statement what are your views on tha T the contract is bona fide but bet I 1 they cannot bein begin work until these negotiations I 1 hive have mentioned are satis fact 11 dy concluded then the work wa will 1 bo be cut up in sections and given to sub contractors 11 you ra bay v they have the contract contra c t from oneil to ogden what about abou t the

1 can say Is that the road will be built the terminal facilities cili ties and arid machine shops will be at oden ogden it takes millions to complete the road capital is shy of entering into new enter enterprises rises and the public must be patient pi tient Difficult hB I 1 have been many and great they cannot be overcome in a day or a week or a month it has taken much time but is its now nearing the point when we will have something Bom ething to say it is no longer an experiment we already have ISO 10 miles completed as a an earnest of our good faith and determination to put te LIS road through everything is ready lor for the bridge over the missouri when the water has clentry clent ly subsided work will at once begin every point is being crowded to iti its utmost C ESS 2 you say sly ogden will have the terminal facilities dies that man inan in m an overland trains to ogden with chanse bof il cars tor for tho the south I that is a matter pertaining ver to the opp operation ration of the road and some something lhing I 1 have nothing to do with will work beida in 1 wyoming ot ing before the salt lakee lake east eastern ea from ogden to the wyoming line is completed pl eted at when work begins it will probably ably abart both at the nebraska and stati ends as well aa as in wyoming at least in the is rading tho the rails will wil I 1 probably be laid fron either end before they are laid in wyoming how flow many mites miles will be between oden and tho tile river by the mhora lino the difference between and 1032 miles what road will be used from the river to chicago that I 1 inow nothing about where is mr mclean at present lie he is in new york but will bo be in bloat city on the anat 11 the reporter thanked sir bannister for the information and withdrew to eive give
