Wonderful Activity in Railroad
 BuildinO.

Not for many days has there been such wonderful activity in railroad building as exists today.
 And the work in progress, or about to be begun, is big work.
 Most of it, too. is in the West, and the object of all of it is to get to the Pacific Ocean.
 The first that was announced was the Clark road from Salt Lake to Los Angeles, and this was quickly fol- lowed by the assertion that the Har- riman syndicate would also build from Salt Lake to Los Angeles, distance of about 700 miles. Both of these railroads are now in course of construction Then the San Diego folks took up the project of the San Diego Eastern. and took it up in earnest, started making surveys, and indeed completed more than half of the work, and already capital is interested in carrying out the plan to build and equip a line from San Diego to Yuma, distance of about 150 miles, and so open up a new route from ocean to ocean. Up North, George H. Proctor and Lord Thurlow have been working on the Eureka X Eastern, and it is now announced that that line will be built from Eureka, Cal, to Boise, Idaho, distance of 700 miles. And now, to cap the climax, news comes from Denver that D. H. Moffat and associ- ates are to build a short line from that city to Salt Lake, and there con- meet with the Clark line to Los An geles This Denver line will be 525 miles in length. There are other, but smaller lines, building or projected, but these are the important ones, and they aggregate something like 2500 miles of track to be laid, and in these figures We have not reckoned the 300 or so miles of track already laid by the Union Pacific and connections and which are to be used by them in their Salt Lake to Los Angeles line.
