Mtter in Hand and Intends
Carrying it Ahead.

Park City, Utah's famous mining
camp, $ out after the Moffat road, and
| in later to officials of the company
| bulldog the Utah Colorado line. an
nounes that IL can show why the line
| shoud be built through Park City and
| Summit county in its route from the
reservation to Salt Lake. The letter
| just issued by the Park City Citizens
club, u hustling body OF boosters. fol-
lows:
TO the Directors of Denver. Northwest
ern & Pacific Railroad, Denver,
Colorado:
Gentlemen--Having learned that the
line of your railroad as now projected.
is to cross a portion of the State OF
Utah, making its terminal at Salt Lake.
and that the route of same is through
the newly opened Uintah reservation,
by way of Provo, and fully understand
ing that the route as now plated, in
our estimation is far from being as
good and remunerative route for the
railway company as would be the route
through Park City to Salt Lake City.
SEVERAL REASONS.
There are several reasons for coming
to this conclusion. First among them
is the fact that from Vernal to Wood
land, Utah--which would be part of
the route by way of Park City--your
road would pass through the central
part of the most productive lands or
the newly opened reservation. 1t
would be along water routes ana Gull
tivable lands, us we'll as by way of tho
i. 40 N a
Utah.
TONNAGE ASSURED.
Besides. your line would pass through
the eastern part of Summit county
where there is at present no railway
and a considerable population. Also
through the forest reserve, from
whence all the mines Of Park City are
at present being supplied with timber
You would also get your share of
the ore shipped from Park City dis
trict and whilst we are not at present
DESTROYS of annoying you with details
we fully believe that the grade by the
route which we suggest would enable
you TO pass the divide With an easier
climb than by the route eleady plated
by you.
CAMP WILL HELP.
We. as citizens of Park City. are
DESTROYS that your road should touch
this point, and are prepared to do all
in our power to aid you in any way of
information, and such assistance as
may be possible for us TO render
provided you viii condescend to give
consideration TO the suggestion that
your route traverse the lines to which
we have called your attention.
Thanking you in advance for such
courtesy as you may extend TO us, ana
assuring you of our good Will ana sup
port in this matter, we are,
Respectfully.

Salt Lake City at the present time are

infest the city. There are scores OF

While George Sheets was chief OF
police he sent one OF the patrolmen
out In plain clothes to catch some of
the women. The patrolman was full OF
confidence but was not oVerburdened
with common sense. In his trousers

In a vest pocket reposed a $50 bill,
Soon he met two of the negro women

He soon knew that three dollars We're
