1.-THE Northwestern railroad to an inter
section of Benton street. a little south
of the new cement bridge across the
Boyer river. There is strong public
sentiment in favor of this road as
there should be, in view of the danger
Gus crossing which travellers are
obliged to make The railroad com
|pany should give it's support to the
change and we believe it will assist
in a substantial manner.
