M|ith u better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle etforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold hy all rep
utablc druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ana the system Is regular, then laxa-
lives or other remedies are not needed.
IL afflicted with any actual disease. one
may ne commended tothc most slliilful

Heavy Capitalists Back Of the Enterprise.
Rights of Way and Terminal Facilities
Granted by the Salt Lake City Council.
Preliminary Work and Surveys

An Associated Press dispatch of March
II announced the incorporation of the Salt
Lake and Pacific railroad in Salt Lake
City by the Utah improvement company,
and its intention to at once commence the
construction of the road. The company is
composed of many of the foremost capital
lists of Utah, and includes several promi-
nent in the Mormon church, as Abram IL.
Cannon, Hiram Woodruff and others. In
fact, it is said that the entire capital OF the
church ia available for the pushing of the
enterprise, and with this it is bound to sue
coed.
II. B. Beatty of Salt Lake was in Los An
geles yesterday, and told of the great inn
petus the project had already received and
OF the proposed plans. Mr.. Beatty sat in
the council chamber of Salt Lake little
over a week ago and heard passed unani-
mously the resolution deciding to the rail-
road the right of way through the city and
also the Old Fort square as spot for ter
minal facilities. The deed was placed in
escrow, to await the fulfillment by the COM
pany of the required conditions, viz: That
work should be commenced within ten
days and that ten miles of roadbed should
be graded inside of sixty days.
The Utah improvement company in
tends to build local line to Deep Creek,
which is already under way. The new in
corporation will build the main road 1884
miles, to St. George, on the southern boun-
Diary Of the state. It will pass through
Granville or Tooele, according to the
manner in which the citizens OF either
town receive the proposition and show q
deposition to grant rights Of way.
The road will strike the Union Pacific at

"As have said, we are going to con-
