NEW TOWN OF HOWELL
IN BOX ELDER COUNTY
The Garland Globe says:

Last Friday Messrs. Herschel Bull
len, Jr. and Peter Maughan of Lo-
gan were in Brigham City for the pur-
pose of filing with the county recorder
the townsite of Howell, which has
been located In the Blue Creek Valley
on the land formerly owned by the
Promontory Stock Co.
The townSite has been laid off Just
east of the canal running through the
valley. and includes the ground on
which the Big House" is now located
The streets run at right angles
through the town. but the town itself
after the style Of right-angled trl-
angle.
Those who are familiar with the
country out In that section Will re-
member that the Promontory Stock
company piped the water from some
springs In the hills east OF the farm
buildings a distance OF about three
miles, TO the ranch houses, and the
reservoir will be located within the
borders Of Howell. as It has been sur
yeyed, SO that the town will be sup
piled with clear. cool, fresh drinkinS
water, while the canal water can be
used for irrigation and stock.
The location OF Howell Is ideal for
that part OF the country, being on a
gentle slope to the west, the soil be-
ing of n gravely nature similar to the
soil OF Brigham City, and the city
will receive the benefit of the rays
OF tho sun all winter, as there Is a
big hill TO the north which Will re-
fleet the warm rays. Frightening up
the whole valley and making 1t a
pleasant place of abode. The town IT.
self is only few miles north of Pro-
montory station, so that easy access
to the railroad can be had.
There are some two hundred half
acre lots In the site. and Mr., Bullon.
the secretary, stated that the lots
will be offered for sale Immediately
The company will also place ON sale
another big batch Of dry farming
lands very shortly.

HEARINGS
ON MERGER
Union Pacific Made No
Attempt to Open
Portland Gate

New York, Feb. 17.-In the continu-
alton OF the hearings OF the govern
ments suit to dissolve the Union Pa
clilc merger today. John A. Munroe,
general freight manager Of the COM
pany. was questioned by III. n. LoomiS
of counsel for the defendants with re-
spect to the practicability OF the
Union Pacific moving traffic through
the Portland gateway TO San Fran
cisco.
The Union Pacific officials. said
Mr. Munroe, from time to time have
discussed the proposition Of opening
the Portland gateway to San Fran
cisco. but they have always came TO
the conclusion that 1t was imprac-
ticablc and would be Improbable TO
the Union Pacific.
IN the first place, Portland was
the same distance from Omaha as was
San Francisco. and the question Of de-
lay in transferring freight and max
Ing connections with the boats was
considered There was only the San
Francisco business to be secured by
this means, as II was determined that
Sacramento and Stockton promised TO
business for such a route.
Another thing that had to be con-
sldcred was the attitude of the South
ern Pacific, which had connections to
San Francisco. Such n move on the
part OF the Union Pacific would be
considered hostile by the Southern Pa
cific, and It could. and would, retaliate
by DETECTING from the Union Pacific
that which the Union Pacific could not
get except through the influence of
the Southern Pacific

hours. The change will probably be
made April L or April 10.
At present the transcontinental
mails arrive in Los Angcles at =
and I o'clock in the evening when
the two last trains are on time. This
is too late TO permit Of sorting and
distributing mall the same day. and
there Is q delay until tho following
morning. Under the new schedule tho
trains VIII arrive in Los Angees ut
2:3o and $3.50 p. M, which will give
tho postoftice ample time to deliver
the mail on the day OF its arrival.
Therefore, by train delivery into Los
Angeles three and one-half hours
earlier than now the mall VIII reach
its ultimate destination from twelve
TO fifteen hours earlier The same
Will be true of all the mail for southern
California
All OF the mail for southern Califor-
MA now has TO go by the two routes
named, as the washoat of the San

OF trains for some time.
