when interviewed by Herald reporter,
stated that the people of Cedar and
the southern country were greatly
elated over the prospects for rail-
road, and that they are ready and
eager to give it aid and encourage
ment. AT present they are consider
ing the proposition of donating $10,-
OOO to the company or of building
twenty miles of grade at half price;
and 1t is more than likely that some
of the coal and iron interests held by
Iron county citizens will be CONSOLE
dated with the railroad enterprise, thus
giving it additional stability and
strength. The people want a railroad
through the south, and are willing to
make concessions and sacrifices to get
1t, for by the acquisition of the road
one of the greatest mineral and agri-
cultural localities in the west will be
brought within the charmed circle of
market and commerce. Mr.. Stump
states that the latest reports from the
Line district were to the effect that it
was all right
Similar reports are coming in from

the road will pass. The people realize
the vast Importance of the project, and
seem anxious to aid it in every pos
