In the worlds engineering and

seemingly insurmountable Cbsta-

ton of the Salt Lake Routes
high line occupies the same
relative position in respect to
western railroad construction as
does the latter to the remainder
of the world.
The possibilities of the line.
which yesterday became perfected.
were discovered years ago in the
romantic days of the west, when
Mormon settlers in Utah. drawn
by the lure Of the unknown and
seeking IN outlet to the Pacific
seaboard struck out from Salt
Lake City into the wilderness
toward the sea. There was hut
one way to go. That Was dos n tn
