SALT LAKE s. Los ANGELES a. r.
The Los Angeles Express says that the

The Los Angeles Express says that the
people of that place "have two powerful
inducements for aiding in the construc-
ton of railroad direct to Salt Lake.
First, access to the coal and iron mines
in Southern Nevada and Utah, which
would be tapped by such road, and
which would be of e.timsble value to
Southern California and Los Angeles in
particular. Secondly, such rosd would
put Los Angeles in immediate eommuni.
cation with all the vast interior country
OF the continent east Of the great Mis-.
sissippi and Missouri rivers, stretching
north almost to Canada At present, in
an easterly direction. Los Angeles com
municates directly in the way of trade
with only narrow belt Of country Dor
deriug on Mexico. Salt Lake and all the
interior would better find an outlet to
the Pacific at this point than by sur
mounting the mighty Sierra Nevada
range. The distance to the port OF Los
Angeles is even less than to the bay of
San Francisco; but when the great OBJ
stacle OF the mountains is considered the
advantage of Los Angeles as an outlet
for Salt Lake, over San Francisco. is very
conspicuous. The people of the southern
part of the State cannot overestimate the
benefit to themselves OF such railroad.
The mines of the regions to be tapped
are understood to be unexampled in rich
ness, especially the mines of coal and
iron, the very commodities most needed
in this region. 1t will seem strange to
the rest Of the world If Los Angeles me-
elects this opportunity"
