Mention

The Nevada Southern railroad is now
the Dame of corporation which has
ceased to exist. The road hereafter will
be known as the California Eastern rail.
road.
Yesterday an important meeting was
held by the directors and creditors of
the Nevada Southern in Denver, with
the abov e-mentioned result.
The leading spirit OF the new corpora
tion is Mr. Woodbury., former banker
of Denver, who ia heavily interested
in the road and intends to push
it rapidly to completion. That
division OF the line from Vanderbilt to
Good Springs will be built at once, and
the remainder OF the road from the latter
point to Salt Lake finished in the imms-
diate future.
The intentions of the projectors of this
road. if they are carried out at once, will
rebound to the great advantage Of Los
Angeles and Southern California.
A wet blanket was thrown on the
project, however. by a gentleman who is
intimately acquainted with the modus
operandi OF the company, but, for obvi-
GUS reasons, desires hia name withheld.
He stated that Notwithstanding the for-
nation of this new company, he thought
the road would never be completed.
| His reasons were that before it could
be opened for traffic there would be one,
probably two. lines of railroad in operas
tion between Salt Lake and Los An
geles.
He mentioned the branch the Union
Pacific is building and which is al
ready completed from the City of the
Saints to Milford, and in addition has
ITO miles of road already graded and
ready for the rails extending well down
in Nevada toward those extensive de-
posts of coal and iron which are it's
objective point.
Then there is the Rio Grande West
ern road which is built as far as
Marysville.
"These roads," said he, "are fully
alive to the importance of the territory
they intend to traverse and are pushing
their lines forward az rapidly as pos
sible.
"The directors of this new California
Eastern road will have to move, and
move quickly, if they intend getting
ahead of these other two lines.
They can do it, too," continued he,
"if they will only all work in unison
and stop the cross-pulling which has
been their bete noire in the past"
