at Richfisld Though not wishing to for
get GlenwOod, situated few miles east
OF Richfeld. Glenwood is a beautiful
little picturesque town nestled COM
fortably in the top of the mountains
that protect it from the col l winds OF
the west and the east. The great num-
Der OF trees Astounding here is no doubt
Inc origin of its name, "Glenwood."
Ibis IS purely an agricultural town,
very quiet and pastoral without, appa-
rsntly, a bad boy to break the guinness
OF the village. Richfieid is the capital
OF Sewer County, anu of its many re-
sources l wrote to The HERALD a pretty
full account about month ago and
will not weary the readers with SEC
ond recital, though there are enough
resources here to constitute big in
ducement for the railroa sd to push
through. Elsinore ana Monroe are two
towns of enough Importance in their
way TO be an inducement for our u tab
southeastern road to intersect them
in its journey TO the most important
fields OF natural resources in Southern
Utah. After passing through Ssviel
County We enter Piule County. On ar
irving there We find ourselves in a vas :
forest OF trees, that furnish the best
soft pine in Utah. and in fact the whole
west, until Truckee Is reached aud thl,
lumber Is fully is good as the best
Truckee lumber or the ca stern sugs r
pine. The trees are large enough t..
furnish lumber as wide as twenty four
inches and perfectly cl ar of knots for
from ten 10 forty feet lengths.
There is but one saw hi | of any i'm
portance in these vast forests, which
are large enough to supply at least Utah
in all the fine lumber used or that re-
qdires clear and soft pine.
After passing through this immense
forest we arrive at a still greater one.
the coal6elds of Piute County. There
is. right alongside of the road, within
q stones throw IAN lmmebse cliff of solid
coal, and of as good quality as any
found in Utah. 1t is only necessary for
the teamster to drive up to one of these
faces and knock of his load and go
home. No one seems to object.
l will now close my story with the
suggestion that our road continue its
way over into Panguitch, thence to
ParOwan, and then give Beaver q visit,
finally connecting at Milford. l believe
road on this route will pay much
better than the route ut present used
on the west side of the mountains,
through the barren desert that only
causes shudder to pervade one who
contemplates trip south OF Juab. And
besides this, the only part that pays is
what is got at Frisco IN freight. etc.
TRAVELLING INDUsTRIALIsT.
THE ROAD TO THE coAsT.
General Manager Kimbail, of the
Union. Pacific, when questioned recently
by an Omaha reporter about the new
proposed road betweea Ogden, Utah
and The Pacific coast, stated that sew
eral parties had been considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of building such a road
and had been figuring on it, out he was
not aware just what capital was back
ing 1t or who was having the surveys
made.
1t was generally supposed that this
corps of surveyors operating west of
Ogd"n was in the employ of the Union
Pacific, but that there are now reasons
for believing that syndicate of New
York capitalists. with sidney Dillon sno
Fred Ames at its head, is having the
work done, with the view to construct
ing road between Salt Lake City am
Los Angeles. The route to be adopted
will pc direct through Southern Cali
fornia, Utah and Nevada, and the roao
will be called the Pacific Short Line"
aud will bs nearly a thousand miles
long.
While this road ls said to be entirely
independent of the other transcon-
tinenial lines, it is generally conceded
to be project of the Union Pacific or
Burlington system, to be operated il
the interest of these lines, and is to be
built to get foothold in a section of
the country now controlled wholly by
the Southern Pacific and Atchison, To-
peka & Sauta Fe without direct compe
titon.
With a northwestern terminus L.
close proximity to Osuen, the actu i
terminus OF the Union Pacific proper
tits safe to assume that the connecting
link of but a few miles between OgdeG
and Satt Lake will be built. as that will
give the Union Pacific a monopoly on
the coast traffic. II is well known tina,
the ouik OF the passenger traffic to the
coast goes by way of Los Angeles, hence
the Importance of line to that point
And the territory traversed by this
propose ed line is not covered by any
oher roads, and between Los Angel s
and Salt Lake 1t could control strip OF
territory of over 1O0 miles without
competition. Nothing definite concerto
ing this road can be obtsi1 ed, further
than what we have given. but it is said
that the contract for the constructor
of the entire line has already been
awarded and that it calls for the COM
letion of the road within a period of
two years.
PERSONAL And GENERAL.
IT is said there will be less changes of
subordinates under the new Unlon Pa
ctic management thau is usual in
such cases. This is probably due to Mr..
HolcomD's belief that the men who do
the work and are familiar With details
are hard to replace.
a PARTY of Union Pacific surveyors
start out this morning to go over the
route from Milford to Los Angeles re-
Gently travelled by the Utah Central
surveyors. They go by way of Grauts-
vile, Utah, and Deep Greek, N veda
the idea probably being to cover to e
route of the proposed Salt Lake d Los
Angeles at the sans time.
