Douglas are growing in popularity, and
if the fine weather of late continues,
each week will see an increase in the
company's business. Work on the
Salt Lake & Eastern is being pushed
with all thu vigor to be commanded
and all reports ara to the effect that
satisfactory progress is being made.
With the trains making frequent trips
daily next summer, it would seem as
though Parley's Canyon will become
the resort for campers-out during the
next heated term. There is no canyon
in this vicinity that offers greater
inducements to the camper-out than
does Parley's, and it is the intention of
the Salt Lake & Eastern people to Offer
such inducements as must command
patronage. It is now intimated that
the permanent passenger depot of the
salt Lake & Fort Douglas will be 10
Gated on Eighth south and Main
Streets. Work on the Fourth West
Street branch will be commenced
within few days.
THE RIO GRANDE & UTAH.
A dispatch from Albuquerque. dated
the 21st inst, says: The special car of
Colonel J W. Conley, President of the
Rio Grande & Utah Railroad, that is
now pushing through New Mexico,
wi h Directors Ben l.. Cook and Bud
Lobe, of Chicago, arrived in the city to-
day. They had telegraphed ahead TO
V. D. Simar, civil engineer at Durango,
Colorado, to meet them here, and are
awaiting his arrival. The party will
remain in the city. 1t is quite prob
able that the road, as surveyed from
Albuquerque to Durango. and which
would connect at this point with the
Santa Fe and Atlantic and Pacific, will
be built in the next year, and that the
present officials are here now to order
const ructlon work at an early day. The
presence of the officials has caused
many rumors regarding the railroad
outlook for the southwest.
UNION PACIFIC SURVEYORS IN CALIFoRNfA
The firm belief that one or more rail-
roads will shortly enter the north
eastern corner of California invests
with mach Interest all facts bearing
upon the possible choice of routes. 1t
is we'll known that the Sierra Nevada
about the headwaters of Feather River
are much broken, and that the chain is
here no longer continuous one. with a
high central ridge covered deep with
snow each winter. In all articles so
far written upon routes or passes
through Plumas or Lassen counties it
has been taken for granted that only
two existed that could be utilized for
railroad purposes. One of these is
BeckWith, and the other Fredonia Pass.
Each of these is feasible, and their sd-
vantages have been fully set forth from
time to time, in various publications
during the past year. Several parties
of surveyors have investigated both
forks of Feather river, as well as the
two passes in question, and the data
they have accumulated is now in the
possession of the different companies
they represent. The activity of the
engineers of the Union Pacific in the
part of California seem to in
dictate something more than an explor-
ing expedition. If reports can be relied
upon, they are busy in many places,
and the best route for q road is matter
