1t may be said our railroad facili-
ties are limited. Logan, however, is a
common point with Salt Lake and Og-
den from the east. We also have as
low rates from all lumber CEN
tres, besides the advantage of large
local supplies from the near canyons,

sent to Ogden for distribution, the
freight would be a mere bagatelle as
