our duty to advise the public of the superior ex-

advertisements in your valuable paper we find
that our neighbors have in use, in fact have used
up, in putting their unsightly mixture of old and
new goods, all OF the words that would approxi-
mately express the superior inducements that we
are enabled to offer the public, for reason Of our
stock being entirely ner. One party advertises
that his goods are the very best possible the very
cheapest possible, and the very prettiest possible
Another party advertises in the same manner,
another in the same, and on to the end of the
list Now, all our merchants being hgh-mnded,
honorable men, their advertisements being the
same, their goods and prices must be so likewise.
But Messrs. Editors, our goods are at least two
degrees better, and as many prettier and cheaper
than those of our neighbors; and as there is no
word now in use that will bear dramatically
the addition Of two extra degrees we Offer as a
reward to the party who will create and legalise

Denver route and the line was surveyed
up Lodge Pole creek, 100 miles north.
Recently, however, the abandonment of
the Northern enterprise, the advantage
of a closer connection with Montana,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, the tire
mendous grades on the direct line thro'
Salt Lake City, and the impossibility of
securing the land grants in the thickly
settled Great Salt Lake Basin, with the
favorable reports of better grade and
many natural advantages farther north,
induced the Company 10 dispatch Capt.
Bates, with a corps of typographical en-
gineers, to examine and survey the
route, striking Lander's cut off west of
Green river, continuing along this to
Snake river. near Fort Hall, down Snake
river to Raft river, and thence to Virgin
ia, Nevada. This. it is believed, will OBJ
viate great portion of the 1000 feet of
mountain grade east of Salt Lake City,
the dip into the basin and up the grade
on the west again secure the land grants
and be as short as the other, while it
will assuredly be advantageous to the
Territories north of the line, and will
render the business of this and the At
lantic and Pacific route running west
from St. Louis through Kansas. less liza
BILE to come in competition. Should this
route be selected, which we have many
reasons to believe it ultimately will, the
distance from Virginia City to the line
Of railroad will not exceed 200 miles and
opportunities for branch line will com
mend itself at an early day.
