TELLS HOW 1T HAPPENED.
&. c. Lund Explains Mr.. McCune's
Action to st. George.

st. George, Sept. 13.-Durihg the state
conference here r. C. Lund was called
on to relate his findings in regard to
the extension of the railroad south from
Milford He stated that he had been
working in connection with the enter
prise for three years past. The original
proposition was for the Utah people TO
control the stock OF the road. The death
of "A. II. Cannon, manager of the en-
terprise, practically destroyed all that
had been done W to that time. But
On the appointment of David Eccles as
manager, the scheme. was again reviv-
ed.
Mr.. Lund stated that he had since
been down to Los Angeles, obtained
gratifying concessions, and he and
Eccles looked over the old grade from
Milford. 1t was then decided that Ec-
cles and his Ogden friends would take
half of the stock if the Salt Lake peo-
'Dle would take the other half This
the Salt Lalsers did not do, and the
enterprise again languished. Then Nc
Cune was appealed to, and he, with
very little hesitation, said he would
take half or all the stock, and put the
road through to Stateline. A quarter
of a million has been subscribed. and
rs miles of road will be built within
the next year TO Stateline, and con-
tinued on as fast as needed.

SWEET POTATOES GALORE.
Carload of Fine Spuds Arrive From
Sunny Texas.


The Hanson Produce company has
| just received carload of sweet po-
tatoes from Texas, consigned from the
| farm of Hon. NJ. M. Miller, near An
gleton.
Mr.. Miller, who is in the city, and
who combines farming with banking
and mining, made this as trial ship
ment, and the consignment will be fol-
! lowed by a number of others in the
near future.
The carload, containing $50 bushels,
which were boxed in crates holding a
bushel each, was six days on the road,
the 1900 miles being made over the
Santa Fee and the Rio Grande Western
roads in remarkably quick time, the
potatoes arriving in Salt Lake as fresh
and nice as when taken from the
ground.
The sweet potato of the south is a
different kind of spud from the north
ern product, as it abounds in saccha-
rine matter, and is delicious in flavor.
The success attending this trial ship
ment is likely to open up quite a trade
in fruit and other farming commodities
between Texas points and Salt Lake
City.
Mr.. Miller, who is one of the leading
citizens of Angleton, has two fruit
| farms near that place, and he never
tires of dwelling on the fertility of
that region, where two crops are
grown on the same ground during one
season, and where pears grow so large
that a dozen would make dessert for a
good sized family. In fact, he has on
exhibition at his Office in the CONNER
cial block a dozen pears which tip the
scales at nine pounds, and these pears
are so firm in texture that they would
bear ShipDing across the ocean, while
their flavor is delicious, the fruit being
sound and entirely free from all imper-
fections.
With a direct road south to Los An
geles, Mr.. Miller is confident that pay
ing commercial relations could be es
tablished between the coast towns of
Texas, as well as with California
points, and he hopes soon to see the
day when this road will be a reality.
