The Salt Lake Herald of July Is has
the following:
Speculation Is again rife ss to the In
terests behind the proposed route be-
tween Salt Lake City and Coos bay.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat is re-
sponsible for the statement that re-
newed activity is manifested In the
completion OF the surveys for this
route, and there Is likelihood that the
road will be extended to Portland.
The proposed line would open up q
rich mining and agricultural country
between this city and the coast, besides
furnishing an excellent transcontinen.
tai system, connecting with ell the i'm.
portant centers on the other side Of the
Rockies. The Rio Grande has long
looked with favor uuon just such an
opening. The Salina cutoff would give
the road short and direct line to San
Francisco. These lines would complete
the Gould system of transcontinental
lines, and 1t is believed that the COM
pletion OF the present surveys simply
gives realization to the ambitions Of
those governing the Gould properties.
