Alleged Scheme to Force the New Line
To Come in Over d. SR. G.

alton with a view to a change OF Local
ton for the Duchesne country line Tho
$500 shares OF stock We're represented
and Capt. Cotton presided. The meet
ing decided to so amend the articles
OF incorporation az to change the line
of location run from Heber over into
the Duchesne westerly so as to run
from a point on the eastern line near
Charleston, taking the route over Dan
icls' pass into the Duchesne country.

tenn, like the Utah Central, the Tintic

and other feeders.
While IL is officially stated that this
move has been made so that the line
Will have the easiest grade obtalnable,
II Is asserted by those who are follow
ing the situation that the change has
been instituted with the object In view
OF heading off the Moffat road which
has already made preliminary surveys
over practically the same route as now
Is being sought by the Rio Gr9nde.
The statement Is made that . 1t Is
