healthy seasons of the year.

NO MORE UNJUST TOLLS.

The extension of the Utah Northern
beyond Port Neuf will effectually kill
a system of plundering which has been
endured long time by freighters to
and from Idaho and Montana, in the
excessive tolls levied upon them by the
Indaho toll road company. This cor
poration, consisting really of one or
two men, has grown rich in these un-
just cxactions, until their names have
come to be associated with the most
unique and picturesque system of pro-
family in existence. Mr.. Gould is
therefore working in the interest Of
good morals, as well as extending his
empire, when he breaks down this
plundering outfit. RANGER.

OUR SALT LAKE LETTER

Correspondence of The LEADER


SALT LAKE CITY, July 26, 1878.
The extension of the Utah Northern
railway is still being pushed towards
Snake river. The present terminus
is at Oneida, near the head of Port
Neuf Canon, and beyond this large
force of men are at work. Port Neuf
Canon presents no difficulties to rail
road building, and it is at the same time
very beautiful and romantic passage
way to Snake river, skirted with the
precipitous sides of old lava beds,
through which the swift, clear waters
urge their way towards the Pacific.
This Waterford gives every evidence
of having been cut out by the overflow
of Salt Lake when that body of water
was Il thousand feet deeper than it now
is. A natural gateway nOrthward was
thus constructed, through which the
narrow gauge railway is being pushed
towards Montana.
One of Jay Gould's plans appears to
be to build branch from this line,
leaving it at Snake river, and pushing
