The Short Route from Denver 10
Salt Lake and Ogden.

!, Salt Lake and Ogden.
: Away back in last. DecembeI
articles Of incorporation were fleC
: in the State House for the Colo
RADIO and Utah Pacific Railway
Through an arrangement made
with the officials the fact that this
: important document was deposited
in the archives was carefully KEEP,
from the reporters, and the CON-
pany proceeded to carry out its
plans without any hint having
been given to the World. Survey
ing parties were put in the field.
OF course 1t was not long before
the men OF sines and cosines
attracted a great deS Of curl
Gus attention. They were observed
prowllng around the mountains
north Of Denver and near Boulder.
Rumos Of all kinds have grown
out OF their operations, most of
which connected the Burlington
with the evident preDarations 10
run another line across the back
bone Of the continent. The survey
Ors kept their own cOusel and none
Of the guessers had anything to 90
on. Some Of the shrewder ones
surmised that the Sioux City Short
Line had a finger In the pie, and that
il contemplated building an ex-
tension or more properly 4 branch
from a point on its line through
Nebraska. This is very probably
the intention Of the company but
it has not yet been fully declared by
authority. Yesterday, however, It !
was learned from AN inside source |
that whether or not the company |
intends 10 have n road into Denver /
from the Fast at once, it undoubt-
edly does intend 10 build imme-
diately from Denver TO the West.
Agentleman who has been acting
as confidential agent OF the COM
lany was seen yesterday by a re-
porter. OF course he professed the
most dense ignorance at first, bat
was soon driven into a corner and
admitted that the Information wss
1--WE were n little too smart for
you fellows" said he, "when we
filed those articles Of incorporation,
but suppose the thing has got to
come out now, and il doesn't matter
much anyhow, as the company is
nearly ready to go ahead"
GLOW far have you got:"
"All the preliminary surveys
have been made and a construction :
with a capital Of $1,000 |
100, has just been formed to build
he road.''
"Nho are in that cOmpany?'' J
"You had better wait little while $
until things are ready. l don't q
want to tell just yet" I
"Where will the road rum;
"FrOm Denver it will go to Boul- :
Ter, and there it will turn about due l
vest to Ward and the Hot Springs /
nd on through Middle park. The
inc will come cut at Provo, after c
enetrating the Strawberry country, ;
nd will then run up to Salt b
AXE and Ogden. The NcIrS wis ]
cry close 10 US some time ego, when j
gave tine information that a rail a
-ay had been getting possession OF .
urge quantities Of Land along the u
'ampa River" r
''What advantages viii your road o
ave2" ?.
From Denver to Ogden will be al
- miles shorter than by the pres "
Mt route of the Union Pacific and 3!
s. miles shorter than by the Rio u
rende. IL will pass through a tr
,lendid country, full OF wealth Of "a
i kinds and needing only n rail- b;
lai to develop il. The short line u
i'll open up a part Of Colorado that r.
Is been neglected, and will add /
1tOld millions TO the wealth Of the 10
ate. The building Of This road will 50
u Interfere with the line which a
e company is going 10 put through vi
'yOming. 1t will connect with that rs
he and give this city another in AZ
pendent outlet to the Pacific
