n. Marion, who has been in the city for
two weeks looking over the lands owned
and controlled by the Union Stock yards
company and inspecting the plans, has in
Dictated the outline of the improvements
contemplated in the building up of the
great manufacturing district to be known
as North Salt Lake.
Mr.. Marion, at one time had charge of
the grain elevators on the Union Pacific
system, and is a man Of large means and
great experience in the stock yards bust
ness. He was one of the original syndicate
that purchased the lands and perfected the
scheme for the building up of South
Omaha.
1t is generally known that several
months ago, land to the extent of 300 acres
was purchased by large syndicate of rail
road and business men residing in Omaha,
Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake and other
points in this and adjacent territory, tor the
purpose of establishing extensive
STOCK YARDS, PACKING HOUSES,
tanneries, soap works and other similar
industries near this city. The site selected
as having far superior advantages to all
others, is tract OF ground about one mile
and quarter north of the Hot Springs.
AS the organization was started several
months ago, and no improvements are
yet visible excepting the surveyors stakes,
1t might appear to those not on the inside
that the enterprise was not being pushed as
1t should have been. The following will
explain why the company has not made
their progress public:
f,,ri fo,, tNa
yards, packing houses, exchange building,
ETC., it was thought that there should be a
large addition made to the size of the tract
OF land IN order to serve the highest inter
ests OF the new town or manufacturing
suburb, Constant inquiries and applica-
tions were coming in for sites for different
factories, such as wooden mills, tanneries,
shoe factories, watchworks, soap works,
wool pulling, wool securing, and other IN
dustries which were desirCus of obtaining
railroad trackage, cheap ground and low
taxes. In order that the company starting
up the new town might reap the benefit of
the enormous advance in real estate, which
would surely result from the establishment
on its grounds of
VARIOUS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES,
and also that the city might be in position
| to encourage and aid various enterprises
with grounds and money, 1t was deemed of
| the utmost Importance that this Develop
ment and Improvement company acquire q
much larger acreage of land, and that it
| should own from the mountains to the river.
The tract now secured amounts to nearly
| fifteen hundred acres, or tract two miles
| long and one mile wide. In order to ac-
quire this large acreage at reasonable
prices, it was necessary to keep the project
as quiet as possible until all the lands de
sired could be purchased. Having acquired
the necessary lands, it is only proper that
| the public know what is going on in that
| direction. As the names of the original 100
stockholders have already been published,
it is only necessary to say that the enter
prise is backed by the leading men not only
in this city and territory, but in the east,
representing all kinds Of business. The
plan in brief will be to not only establish
stock yards, packing houses and other
industries connected Herewith, but
to locate and build up many
other enterprises. The ambition of the
company being to make North Salt Lake
(Which will likely be the name of the new
city,
THE CHIEF MANUFACTURING CITY OF THE
TERRITORY.
There exists no doubt in the minds of the
promoters, but that such will be the result
The advantages of the location are unpar
alleled, as through the center of of the tract
purchased, already run the following rail-
| ways: The main line of the Union Pacific
the Oregon Short Lin4and U Ian Northern,
the Rio Grande Western; and surveys
are already made for the Pacific Shor,
Line, Utah & Eastern, also the Steam
Motor Line, which starts at Temple Block
opposite Hotel Tenpleton, will run right
through the center of the townsiie on It's
way 10 Bountiful. This line, we are assur
ed will be in operation within sixty days
with probably five cent fare to the new
town, also two electric lines are headed
, that way.
The Union Pacific and Rio Grande West,
ern, are in position
TO ESTABLISH SUBURBAN SERVICE
As soon as the demand permits it.
The improvements for which plans ar,
already made amount to nearly $3.50, COZ
this includes the packing estaoli shment o
} White & Sons company buiiding OF s125, 900
the Stockyards, Exchange bank, Hotel
street car line and street Improvement
/. Si25,000. These together with the stores
dwellings and other Investments by par
. ties engaging in business will give employ
5 ment to an army of men. AS The lots ar
sold, part of the proceeds will be used il
building houses, aiding factories to locate
e and otherwise Improving the city and it
Z prospects.
4 This in brief is the prospectus Of an en-
terprise and new manufacturing cit
, which the projectors predict will be of NOR
benefit to Salt Lake City than any othe
e enterprise which has been started.
