4 HERALD reporter interviewed Hon
John W. Young yesterday with th'
following result:
Q.-"Wlat was the motive which il
duced you to build the Utah Eastern p
Mr.. Y.-"The motive is not q new
one the same object that has led m'
to build other roads to benefit TIT
country and the people in this Terri
tory"
What was the immediate induce
ment ?"
None, except general prospects OF
general principles. The inducement
has existed for years; the opportunity
as to myself. is new one"
"In what way do you think it will be
bene Iclal ?"
10 facilitate trade and commerce
aud IN the development of the mining
interests. which are now undeveloped
and in enabling the public to travel,
who now cannot spare the time to go
over the present routes and to induce
tourists who rem ain here only out of
curiosity to remain longer and see our
beautiful scenery aud to bring into
market resources that are now lying
in the eastern part of The Territory"
You must be aware that the people
are interested III this road and are
glad that 1t is being pushed forward so
rapldly?"
"There is no reason why people should
not be just as much interested in the
Salt Lake II Erstern, as they were in
the Utah Eastern, and l am just as
much entitled to their good will, as if
thew had lost their money in my road"
"Is there any thing in any of the ru-
mors that you are building for con-
nection with some of the eastern lines
supposed to be building in this direc-
ton"
e. have never had single converse
ton with any director or executive
officer of any of the great trunk lines
which are supposed to De pushing this
way; nor do [ owe any one of them
single dollar nor have had the slight
est assistance from any of them, and |
have purposely avoided associating
with the representatives of any of these
roads so that it could no be said that
l had any connection with them in any
ern is free from all Obligations of every
kind 10 any railroad corporation
what is your object in pushing your
road to Kamas?"
FOB cause our eastern counties. are
growing rapidly, and there are great
bodies of timber there that is needed to
supply our home markets that cannot
De supplied by the California and Ore
gon trade"
"What is there in the rumor that you
are going to be enioined by the County
Jourt?"
Nothing, whatever, so far as 1 am
aware. Everything is most pleasantly
Ind satisfactorily arranged between the |
County Court and the railway COMPANY.
rhe County Court, as far as 1 am able |
20 see, has only asked for what is Just |
md right, and ] am as ready to comply |
With their reasonable requests as they |
ire to make them. am as much in
crested in this county as any other |
living man, and have done a great deal |
or it and expect to do great deal |
nore."
sis there nothing in the rumor of |
enj joining your company"
"There is nothing that am aware of.
We have arranged, and are ARA ogIng
'ur rights of way amicably, as far as l /
now"
when do you expect that your road
will reach Park City,"
Some time during the month of De-
ember If the weather holds good"
What is there in this talk of the
Union Paci6c's fighting you?"
Nothing whatever, think. There
8 certainly no reason for their doing
%, as 1 am building strictly local
Dad, in which they should feel a
riendly interest. l do not design to
Interfere with the Union Pacific or any
'ther road. There are plenty of re-
ources unutilized that will more than
both roads, and l do not
Iesign to compete with the Union
Pacific for any traffic that legitimately
'elongs to them"
There is a general impression that
-ou intend bringing coal over your road
rom Coalville. Is there any foundation
q this rumor?"
My idea Is that the Union Pacific
an. if they choose to do so, haul the
Weber coal to Park City and deliver it
o the Salt Lake & Eastern there, and
hus develop the Weoer coal mines and
upply the market with the best house
oal 5"
What do you think of the prospects
f the great trunk lines building here
nd the future growth of Salt Lake
,ity2"
Il have studied the geography of the
ountry, and can see that it is only a
uestion of time btfore other great
astern trunk lines will seek an outlet
} the wes t,rn Territori, s, and I'll eg are
nre to cOaverge IN the Great Salt Lake
9 9in."
Are the indications that there will
e great deal of railway building done
4 this direction next year by the trunk
mes
think it doubtful, as the capital
SITS who furnish the money tor the
instruction of these lines seem to be
Inclined to develop the local interests of
heir roads, and consequently l think
bat local feeders will be built the next
ear or two, instead of any through
mes"
You would not have exerted your
elf so in building the railroads for the
development of this country if you had
lot believed that Salt Lake was going
} become great oentre?''
