RAILWAY.
FROM OGDEN
Direct Mileage.

1t was by no accident that Ogden became
a young railway metropolis. In selecting
the most practicable and direct route from
the richest and most progressive states to
the commercial center OF the Pacific
coast, the builders of the Union Pacific,
after a careful study of the country,
adopted the course by way of Ogden.
the decisive reasons were that this was
the shortest and best line. 1t entered the
valley of the great Salt Lake, where the
most valuable OF all the lands between
eastern Nebraska and California are
found. In coming into this valley it en-
ployed the vecy best of all the openings
through the mountains, Weber pass.
At the western end of that pass
is Ogden. 1t, the1 efore, commands the
main gateway through the noun
tains. From there the most practicable
route to California was selected. From
this point the best outlet to the north
was found. Here the roads coming in
from the southeast and southwest Joined
those that had arrived.
Naturally and necessarily all other
roads entering this valley will centre at
Ogden. The Northwestern, now as far
west rs Fort Casper, Wyoming, will soon
reach Ogden. The Pacific Short Line,
from Sioux City, was surveyed and pro-
jected to Ogden. Other lines are pro-
posed, and every planned new line has
made this city its terminus. Ogden is,
therefore, the great railway terminal city
OF the inter mountain country. In this
respect il has no rival nearer than Denver,
III miles away.
The railroad grades slant downward
toward Ogden from all directions for hun
dreds OF miles, making it the natural site
for smelters and reduction works. Ore,
coal and coke can be shipped to this focus
OF grades more cheaply than to any other
possible point within 1000 miles.

The average of loaded cars OF freight
handled in transit in the Ogden yards is
445 per day. To this add the car loads of
local business and the following remark
able exhibit is the result:

Cars handled per year. 3l9O75
The railway lines entering Og-
den ali focus at a union de-
pot, the only one in the territory, and
the most costly passenger station within
hundreds of miles.
The local passenger travel aggregates
about 12O, OOO year, and the through
travel runs into much larger figures.
Ogden is prorating point for railway
tariffs on all lines terminating here.
From these facts it is plain that Ogden S
railway advantages are not matched in
the west by any town that has not become
great.
Hence its opportunities, in this line
alone, are enough to make it city of
lOJ, 600 people within few years.
But its railways are only fraction OF
its resources.
At first thought an inexperienced man
would underestimate the commercial
market surrounding Ogden.
But it is very wide in extent, over 1000
miles in diameter. In some lines the field
is much more extensive.
There are several jobbing houses in Og
den that sell in almost every state in the
Union. Few houses here distribute over
lie than $500 miles of railway.
:. Almost every town tributary to Ogden
is growing rapidly. They have repre-
sented development in population,
property and business running into
hundreds of per cent. within ten years
past, in nearly all cases.
No region in the United States can COM
pare with the field around Ogden in pres
ent development. And the general ex-
pansion has only begun. Utah 8 popula
ton alone will certainly increase 200 pei
cent. in the next decade, and the territory
adjoining will keep up similar pace.
Every town, almost, in this inter-
mountain region has trade with miners,
contractors, farmers and stockmen reach
ing away from the railroads for from
twenty to fifty miles and their power to
support commercial distributing center
can not be compared to towns of equal
population in the prairie states.
The demands that will be made on
Ogden will certainly multiply several
hundred fold within ten years.
No city in Utah offers greater induce
ments to the probable investor than Og-
den and the field of operations thrown
open to the manufacturer are practically
hmitless. Ogden is now entering upon
career of prosperity unequaled before in
her history and the tide of capital, wear
led of slow and unproductive investment
in the east, is setting this way. Already
the effect is being felt for the better.

A City of Homes in all That the
Name Implies.
SOCIAL ATTRACTIONS.
No Place More CongeniaI to the Home
Seeker.
Hundreds of Cars of Brigham City Pro-
ducts are Exported Every Year
and Her Fruit Is of the Best
and Finest Varieties.

Box Elder county has a population of
13, goo. This is one of the largest counties
in Utah and one of the most productive.
1t is an agricultural county. Sheep
raising, stock raising ard fruit growing
are carried on quite extensively and since
the Bear River canal has been in opera
ton thousands of acres of land heretofore
yalueless have become producing lands
and yield heavy returns.
Brigham. the county seat of Box Elder
county and central point. is situated at
the very foot of the Wasatch range on the
western slope, and the town is noted far
and wide for its hundreds OF neat and
comfortable homes, its broad streets
studded on either side with towering
trees, and in the gentle spring time when
the millions of fruit trees are in bloom
the city has the appearance of large and
beautiful flower garden, and many an
eastern gentleman coming here for the
first time becomes suddenly impressed
with the idea that he has in so,oe mys-
FERROUS though happy way been suddenly
transported to the Garden of Eden.
Brigham is fifty called City oil Homes,
and right we'll does she deserve the title,
for within her limits Will be seen hun
dreds OF neat and comfortable dwelling
houses and others that lend somewhat of
a metropolitan appearance to our city.
Another worthy feature is that nearly
every man owns his own home.
In social way for many years it led all
cities of its size in the territory. For
many years it had one OF the leading dra-
matte companies in the territory, and the
people filed with local pride have built
one OF the prettiest opera houses in the
west. 1t seats six hundred people and
cost S25, 600. The building is heated by
hot air and lighted by gas. No place
could be more congenial to the home
seeker.
Almost within our limits on the west,
are the shores of Great Salt Lake, where
large salt works are located.
The express business is enormous, and
it is no unusual thing to load car day,
principally small fruits.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-12-24

Our freight shipments compare favor
ably with the express, and hundreds OF
cars of fruits, hay, grain, potatoes. on
ions, sheep, cattle, ETC., leave here each
season.
The city supports three hotels, but they
are entirely inadequate to the needs of the
town, and frstclass hotel of fifty or
seventy-five rooms would be paying in
vestment.
A good fruit crop in Brigham means
$500, 900 to the town, and the fruit is of
the very choicest kinds. Each year much
of it goes to waste on account of INSULT
cient facilities for handling it.
Strawberries in particular thrive well,
and one man actually sold $500 worth off
one acre of land.
Brigham has school population of 1 900
and as good schools as can be found any
where.
The soil is especially adapted to fruit
growing, and the flavor of the fruit
grown is incompatible. Go to Brigham
City if you are a lover of fruits, if you
wish to enjoy the good things nature has
provided for mankind, and desire to eat
and drink in the shade of your own vine,
and there buy a home. Land is cheap,
water plenty, and the prospects for the
future are bright.

Ton woods that stood along theroad-
side until they labored in the wind
like ships at sea. The last Of the
fog was just disappearing and curl
ed fiercely up from the woods and
waters, rolling away in great, sod

line of snow clouds were sluggish
" moving forward. There was
something peculiar--almost sinie-
term their slow, heavy formation,
and the weather-wise fisherman off
shore watched them uneasily, and
began to draw in tackle and make
preparations to.seek harbor.
On the land the farmers shook
their heads and FASTENED to get the
last of the pumpkins and apples I'M

cattle left off grazing andsoughtthe

glers from some frightened flock of
wild geese flew toward the south in
anxious search Of their mates
Near the end of one street Of the
little fishing hamlet was q weather
beaten, wood-colored homestead Of
one story and a loft, surrounded by
fence almost as old as the house
itself; but as one passed through the
gateway and up the grass-grown
walk into the smoke-painted kitch-

At least this seemed to be the
case with the little old woman who
hobbled painfully up the path to
the,half open kitchen door There
she stopped irresolutely, but the
sayory smell Of cooking was ire

kitchen was fragrantwith the odors
Of the Saturdays baking; from the

came a eheerfulsputtering and his

profusion made the wistful eyes
CLEAN and the withered form trem-

not venture to cross the threshold.

During the summer months many
Of them drifted up from the neigh

said, in relieved tone. Some of

All night long and the next day
and night the snow whirled and
drifted about the village. Then the
sun came out and the men and boys
took their teams and shovels and
began to dig communications be-
tween the houses. AS the paths
became clear one neighbor after an
other sailed forth to gossip over
the events of the storm.
At length some one mentioned
the old beggar woman, and then il
was learned that no one knew OF
her whereabouts; nearly all had
seen her, and most Of them con-
fessed that they had sent her away
with a "hea in her bonnet"
One man thought she went to-
ward the Freeman house. This
was deserted building just out OF
the village. Without hesitation
the men took their shovels and be-
gan to dig vigorously in that direc-
ton. And Mrs. Barten worked
with the foremost.

and plenty of fuel in the old house, -
said one, "Tho old lady can keep

When they reached the house
there was no sign Of its being occu-

her inside. She was dead.-Kan-
