command Ut thu entire trade Of this
northern country to our euterpsisinx
merchants"
The work that has been accom-
plish-d, in the compl. ton OF this new
highway of commerce has been Of ah
earnest aud practicable character, and
the projectors and promotes OF the
road will finish their work in the same
quiet manner that has characterized
It all through, without seeking any
sensational newspaper b"lst-r,ng.
This road will carry annually over
100000 tons of ore, ov.r 2UU,-
600 tons of coal, over 3d..
uOO,O 600 feet Of sawed lumber,
100000 pounds of wool. and over
100000 head Of cattle, i" addition to
other stock and merchandise, also
givi' & All outlet for the agricultural
products Of the State of Idaho, su-
per,or to airy transportation that the
farmers Of that country can 1T prs. mt
command. Towns and cities will
spring up on its main line. hundreds
Of m'n-s will tie worked that are at
present ~ ing idle because Of the lack
OF cheap transportation. Hundreds
OF thousands Of tons of ore will find
ready market here ut the remunera-
tive profits that low rates of freights
will guarantee, 50 that there will b-
no lack of material for large smelling
and refn,ng plants. which are to be
erected here under the auspices Of
some Of the Weather shareholders in
this railroad company, backed by the
almost unlimited eastern capital at
their command, giving Salt Lake
Cit, such al impetus that the most
sa"guine expectations 1T her active
AMI ent. rpris,ng hu-i"ess men hardly
dared to expect few months ago.

supervision If Mr.. J. r. Nichols,

the Union Pacific railway. and man

beneficial railroad il without exception
