BEST IN UNITED STATES.
Mr. Bowen and his associates who
have behind them The Electric Operat-
ing Construction company OF New York
state that the proposition from n rapid
transit standpoint appealed to them as
the best remaining In the United States
today. They have abiding faith In the
future OF Salt Lake and can see with a
prophetic eye that II is destined to
grow greatly during the next three
years, Its geographical position as the
center OF the smelling and mining In
dustry Of the inter-mountain region;
lts natural advantages as tourist
resort; It's facilities as city Of homes
and center of education one and all
contribute to the forecast that Salt
Lake Is destined TO grow and extend on
ali sides.
WILL GROW SURE.
The man who gets in on the ground
floor in salt Lake is going TO see his
investments bulge and expand. The In
terurban people are getting IN on the
ground floor Some or Ihe men worked
for the Huntington roads and they saw
what the rapid transit interurban lines
did aud are doing for Los Angeles. The
phenomenal growth OF the metropolis OF
Southern California during the past
Ave years can be directly traced TO the
presence Of the best interurban cleo
tric car service in the world today. The
promoters promise that Salt Lake will
have as good service and suburban
homes viii spring up In It's wake like
magic.
IN C1TY's CENTER.
With entrances from Second South
and Third South streets for the public
the Salt Lake and Garfield road viii en-
bark and land its passengers in the
business heart OF salt Lake City with
every street car passing within few
feet OF the big station.
Coupled with this, either by accident
or design. the new road has franchise
that will permit II to run spurs TO the
rear of big shipping houses and haul
freight away TO distant points.
MEANS BIG BUSINESS.
Take for instance the mining supply
companies on Second South who send
50 much powder, machinery and ma
terial by the carload lots to Bingham
aud other points. If these institutions
care to put IN tracks in the alleyways
AT the rear OF their places of business,
what is to prevent them loading up al
their very doors and dispatching con-
sgnmepts to distributing centers along
the line of the interurban? II stands TO
reasan that these firms will be willing
to do go when 1t is taken into consid
tration that they spend thousands In
dray haulage to and from the freight
dapots.
The interurban figures 1t will cut
into the mining camp business heavily.
This business is a great source of rev.
enue to the steam roads operating from
Salt Lake. The steam roads have their
eye on the movements OF the new road
and every obstacle that can be placed
in its way viii be forthcoming
The determination Of the promoters 10

block between Second and Third South

portion Of the business district.
FINE, MODERN STATION.
The big station. II is promised, will be
In every way commensurate with the
demands II will be more than this,
