OUR ROAD WEST.

. " ia hdH 1ush lttit ilta run odiL i'hN1i
We learn that there IS general feel
ing in that city that at an early day
a railroad will be started west from
Salt Lake to tap the rich mining dis
tricfs of Western Utah and Eastern
Nevada. The road is to como by way
of Deep Creek and around Kinsley
District on TO Cherry Greek, over the
old Denver q Rio Grand survey.
Whether the road will go west
through Egan Canon, or come up the
valley to Hercules Gap, is left for fn-
ture eonsid eration. What tho tinan-
cial backing OF the scheme is our
informant did not learn. There was
no blow or buster about the building
of the contem plated road, but the
feeling was deep and general that the
work would soon be commenced and
pushed with vigor at least as far az
Deep Creek. The Tribune of April
Esd throws out the following rather
guarded hints on the same subject:
- Without having any tangible rea-
son that We can give, We still believe
that our railroad from here to Deep 7
Creek and beyond is going TO be I
certainty after all. We think II will be .
commenced within reasonable time, I
and commenced in such a way and |

at race horse speed when once tapped /
oil from the Judges stand. There |
have been several times in the last /
TWO or three years when the demon I
STATIONS toward building the road |
have been very much more noisy /
than At present. hut II has never been I
in the air rs 70 j. now. We nope no !
one will ask tho meaning 10 that last |
expression, because We ton I believe /
we could put it in any tangible form. |
People 90 oul sometimes in the |
morning and they are entirely con-
WINGED that there will be two or three |
spring fights before night, and the
fights come oil. II asked the reason
for so thinking they could not posi-
bly, give any, except that they felt II
in the air. We feel il in the air that
the construction Of our railroad IS
going TO be begun. BY this we do
not mean 10 say that any gentleman
who has claim on Deep Greek. or
Furber, or Clifton, or Ferguson, or
Kern, or Robinson, or in any of the
other districts out that way ought 10
refuse a good offer for their pros
poets because sometime the barome-
ter is unreliable In this mountain
region. Sometimes IN the morning 1t
threatens a storm, aud in spite OF 1t
a soft breeze comes up from the lake
and the storm goes of and exhausts
itself up Spanish Fork canyon. 50
there are other days when, If the
word of the barometer could be taken,
there would be perpetual sunshine
aud calm, when before night from
over the oquirrh range a tempest that
has been lurking there all the time
steals out, comes stealing over the
city, tearing up the trees, flashing
with lightning, roaring with thunder,
beating with the rain, aud so goes on
up the Wasatch, noisy as cavalry
charge and impudent as book agent.
Still, Notwithstanding all that our
barometer indicates at present, that
the Deep Greek Railway will be built,
we expect within the next few months
to see tho Common Council Of this
city 90 ont on an inaugural train,
shake hands with the horny handed
miners of Eatern Nevada, aud beekon
them this way for taste OF the de-
lights Of this city; and II with the
Council there shall be delega-
ton Of real estate agents 10 explain to
The aforesaid miners the desirability
Of investing early in residence lots in
this city, IL will not be strange, for in
tho interest of the poor man the real
estate agent is liable at any time to
throw off his innate modesty and see
that the gentleman from the rural
districts is not swindled by the un-
scrupuious agent whose Office is
across the street. Seriously, when
that road shall be built 200 miles, and
the people OF this city shall receive
an ob iect lesson OF what the road is to
be to this city, then it will be funny
to see every old mossy-back who has
watched and waited here for years go
To a telegraph pole that has a spike
in il and scratch his back until it
bleeds to think how blind he and all
his brothers have been TO the finest
opportunity ever given a city to make
for its an everlasting boom.
