From w. Barry, who was in Salt Lake
a short time ago. says the Ward Reflex,
we learn that the prospects for railroad
through this section at no di tant day
are good. He says it is generally under
stood in Salt Lake that a. soon as the
Union Pacific finishes the Oregon Short
Line that Company will push a road
through to the Pacific. 1t will come
through Sacramento Pas, in the Snake
range, within three miles of Osceola, and
then 60 south through Spring, Lake and
Dry Valleys to Pony Springs Pass. where
it will eros, into White River Valley.
The route from that on is not known.
This will place Ward within 80 miles Of
railroad communication and Taylor II
less.
