The directors of the Hot Springs &
Great Salt Lake railway company held a
meeting in the Office of Simon Bamberger,
in the Hooper block yesterday afternoon.
Important business was transacted, but
that which will interest the public most is
that the road is to be pushed to completion
as fast as the weather will permit. The
track is now laid as far as Ninth North
street. The grades will be equalized so as
conform to natural ground as much as pos
sible. 1t is the intention Of the company
to complete the road to Hot Springs within
thirty days, after which the Amos addi-
ton branch will be built from Third West
on Hamilton street.

rate. j. F. Tolton was elected chairman and
o. A. Murdoch secretary. Mr.. G. Huntsman
spoke upon the benefits, ETC., of having
line of railroad constructed through
the settled portions of Willard and
Beaver counties, and that having that idea
In view he recently started east to see if
he could obtain sufficient financial backing
to construct such line of road as the one
referred to; that when he arrived in Salt
Lake he came across the representatives of
New York syndicate of capitalists to
whom he unfolded his plans. The gentle
men had thought sufficient of his project to
encourage HIM in obtaining certain data as
10 cost OF route, etc, promising that il
everything was satisfactory as he asserted
1t was, they would inaugurate company
to build line from a point across the Jor-
dan river, west Of Salt Lake city, via Tin
TIC and other mining districts, through
Mliiard, Beaver and Iron counties to Ari-
IONA and the Pacific coast. Letters were
read by the speaker from Middlemiss &
Co., financial agents, that showed the read :
mess OF certain wealthy men to push such
road through, If the proposed route was
at all feasible. The speaker desired that
the citizens OF Beaver make full, true and
correct report of the resources of the
county said that he desired the aid of the
citizens of this county to this end.
Remarks being called for, Hon. J. r.
Murdoch said he voiced the people of Bea-
Yer, that they were in favor of and would do
all in their power to aid road being con-
structed through their town and county
The question was formulated to those pres
ent: Are you in favor Of railroad

stated further that the ''backers" Of this
new road which would be known as the
Salt Lake & California railroad, had au-
th0rlzed him to receive subscriptions,
either IN cash or labor to the capital stock,
dollar for dollar in the road. A perma-
nent organization of our citizens was
thereupon effected with G. d. White as
chairman and o. A. Murdoch as secretary,
