EXTENSION OF

Fifty years ago Utah was without

Today there are In Utah over fifteen
hundred miles of roads In operation;
and since the News FIRST saw the

along the Platte river valley, which
was afterwards almost faithfully fol-

Mormon trail Agitation for the
building Of a line 10 the Pacific coast
was commenced in Congress. and
numerous petitions and memorials upon
that subject were presented TO that
body In 1884 no less than nine sur.

routes for such a railroad. AmOne
these parties was the one headed by
Captain Gunnison who with sew.

which is the fixing OF the number OF

always based on the population.
