captain u F0Wsil OF Indianapolis
the general excursion agent for the Big
Four road, has lately arrived in this
city and intends making three month";
stay. Yesterday he was found in the
Book leland office, intently watching
tbs size OF the passing crowd.
There is more life and more bust
neea," said he "in your city than any,
where else on the coast. Several weeks
ago loft San Francisco, and since then
have spent short time in all the towne
between hare and there, but this one
beats them all. You have the push,
the energy and the ambition. The
prospects OF the city are Immense. II
is six years sinae have been here, and
| know there are enough people in the
east 10 intend coming out to mako its
population exceed that of San Fran
cisco in less than 10 years. You can
live better and cheaper here than aay-
where east OF Chicago, and don't AK
cept Chicago itself, either.
There is ono thing. however, which
is the key'to the greatness of this city.
That 10 road between here and Salt
Lake.
mo movement would affect the in
terests of this southern country and
your city go materially or 80 favorably
as the building of the road. 1t is, ss
said before, the kay TO the situation.
And don't you think for a moment
that the railroads of the east gnd the
great continental roads are not aware of
it. They are quietly laying plans and
counter plans, because they well know
the importance and the benefit which
will accrue to any road owning the con-
Meeting link.
This important connecting line will
be the means of baneiting your city
beyond your utmost expectation; it will
be the making of it. and think that it
Hhould be owned and controlled by your
citizsns.
why do they not come forward and
subscribe the funds to build the road ?
They are missing golden opportunity,
and one which will never come again."
