superiE Ssdent John Sharp. of the Utah
Central, ass one of the directors of the
Union Pacific, has returned from . trip over
the Utah and Northern and Oregon Short
Line railways. He accompanied Mr.. Dillon
aud party on trip of inspection. They
went to Eagle Rock on the Utah and North
ern, and then returning to Pocatello, they
went west to American Falls on Snake river.
These falls are divided by an island Of lava,
on one side Of which is an almost perpen-
dicular fall Of thirty or forty feet, while on
the other side the stream descends In rapids
800 feet long to reach the lower level. The
railway bridge spans the river at this point
and is located below and over the falls, max
ing a wild and romantic scene. The road Is
completed twenty miles west of the falls.
The party, after seeing the bridge and falls,
went east over the Oregon Short Line to
Granger, q distance of 240 miles. Mr..
Clark says the road is built on good line
for the country through which 1t passes, and
Is very firmly built. Over 1875 miles Of this
road, At the west end, has been laid this
year, and the track Is like all rev tracks,
leveling and settling before 1t Is
solid enough for rapid transit. This ballast.
ing and leveling will be done IS soon as
possible. From Granger west 100 miles Of
the road was built last year aId has been
used enough to have become solid and
smooth, and Mr.. Sharp says 1t is . splendid

ment.
