Show T I THE MIDLAND IS HERE The Surveyors Arrive This Morning and Leave for Parleys Park at About Noon They Come and Go So Quietly That They Avoid the Wouldbe Interviewer Talk in the Wind About the Boom Sales and Rumors of Sales Fill the Air Some little stir was created in the southeast part of the town this morning by the arrival of a surveying party which upon inquiry turned out to be none other than that of the Midland road The party arrived here from Price Station on the D R G this morning and after camping in the vicinity above mentioned for three or four hours they started south on their way to Parleys Park A DEMOCRAT reporter who got wind of the fact that the party was in town made for the spot but found that the campers had stolen away This fact however how-ever was but little worse to the reportorial sensitiveness than would have been the mum bluff that railroad surveyors always give those seeking seek-ing information Nevertheless the fact that the party was here and the further fact that they are the Midland surveyors cannot be doubted and with this assurance of the early arrival of the new road our citizens will be content THEDRG Some days ago THE DEMOCRAT gave some facts from good authority to tho effect that the D t R G surveyors were making their contour survey of the new route to California and that everything pointed toward the commencement of work on the extension at an early date On top of this statement comes something some-thing that will make the most doubtful cease to doubt It is stated with a superlative degree of positiveness that Mr Joe Sharp of Pleasant Valley has taken a contract to deliver ONE MILLION TIES To the Little Giant road in Spanish Fork canyon If any one can give a satisfactory satisfac-tory explanation of this fact without admitting ad-mitting that the road is pushing toward the coast he is respectfully invited to come around and let THE DEMOCRAT know it REAL ESTATE TALK Keep it up is the salutation given DEMOCRAT representatives as they go their rounds among capitalists and real estate men in search of boom items Youre on the right track Dont get discouraged and all will come out right Eastern parties are just swarming about me said one real estate man today and if there aint something in the wind Ive missed my guess It is certain that there never was a time before when there were so many parties in this city looking for investments invest-ments and what makes things look brighter than ever is the fact that local parties are beginning to take an interest never before shown There is not a day passes without something big in the way a prospective transfer coming to the notice of THE DEMOCRAT and when these matters mat-ters are finally settled there will be some revelations that will startle the natives If there is a croaker in the town who thinks this boom is all wind let him keep his seat a little while longer and if he is not raised into the air by startling facts THE DEMOCRAT will eat its hat RUMOR There was a rumor on the street yesterday yes-terday that Littles Row on Second South Street had been sold to a prominent resident resi-dent Gentile Mr Feramourz Little was asked about the matter today and said that there was nothing in it He added however that he had been asked what he would sell for by a certain party here and had given his figure but has not heard any more of the matter So it will be seen that though there is really nothing in the rumor ru-mor now going around it had its foundation founda-tion in a truth which may yet develop into something worthy of notice |
