There is considerable excitement in |
certain quarters over Senator Stewards
scheme to annex Utah to Nevada, says
the Reno Gazette. Behind it there 10
said to be great influence to divert trade
and open up new regions of territory.
The Southern Pacific has already made
all it's arrangements to remove the ends
of divisions from Wells, Nevada, and
Terrace, Utah, establishing them at Mon
tello, a pleasant, well watsred location
fifteen miles east Of the present line be-
tween Utah and Nevada. New and large
machine shops are to be built ct Ogden
and the new State is to be entirely indie
pendent of California, as far as any rail-
reading goes. A line is to be built by .
combination of capital uniting Boise City,
Idaho, with Montello, and another is to
run south from Monticello through the
Deep Creek country around the lake and
come into Salt Lake City from the west.
The old Buel mining district is to be
opened up by new reduction works, and
settlers will be brought in to populate
the Tercorna Meadows, the fine lands On
Goose Creek and on Raft River. A big
ditch will be brought into Montello from
some of the streams north of the road,
and the new town will be fitted out with
water works, and the land around it irri.
gated.
In return for these great benefits the
politicians will remove the capitals from
Salt Lake City and Carson, uniting them
in one fine building at Montello, and also
promise to pass the bill extending the
bonded indebtedness of the Central Pa.
cific.
This union Of capitalists, railroads,
miners and politicians is said to be fully
established, and the plans are sure to be
carried out almost Immediately.

The Bulletin says: ut is naturs
enough that the Veteran Boodler shoul
gloat over what it calls the defeat Of tn
Salt Lake Railroad scheme in the houi
of its friends, the Traffic Association
but there are two criticisms to be made
e the project is not dead yet, and Il
I Traffic Association is still it's friend an
4 supporter if it knows its own mind, an
it thinks it does. There will be son
question of details, but probably WI
will be found to settle that"
