BOAT SPRINGS, COLO.
WATER 100000 ACRES
HUGE IRRIGATION DAM WILL BE
BUILT ON GREEN RIVER
NEAR JENSEN.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Salt Lake. Utah.-A project which
contemplates the development on a
large scale of eastern Utah and an ad-
joining portion of Colorado. involving
the expenditure of $50.000.O0O. was
made known through the filing Of in.
corporation articles for what is to be
known as the Provo & Eastern Utah
Railway Company. capitalized at &c.,
100000.
II the vast undertaking is carried
out as planned and set forth, 1t will
mean the building of new railroad
from Springville. Utah, to Steamboat
Springs, Colo, via Jensen, Uintah
county, Utah, forming a connecting
link Of 300 miles with the Moffat road.
the building of a huge dam on the
Green river at Split Mountain to the
east of Jensen, to irrigate 100000
acres OF productive land. and the con.
struction of a big hydro-clectric plant
at the dam to furnish electric power
in eastern Utah and adjoining terri
tory.
The plan. it is declared. Is being
financed by eastern capitalists. repre-
sented by F. w. Short of Chicago. who
was in Salt Lake recently in connec'
tion with the project. and who says
he has been in Utah for several
months.
According to Shorts statements, the
railroad undertaking will require $751;
1000. the hydro-electric project $15,.
100000, and the irrigation and dam
system $15,OOO,00O. making total of
346.O0O.00O. Other expenses incident
to the project will bring the grand to-
tai in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.
It is said.
While Short declared that the finan-
cial interests behind their railroad
project were in no way affiliated with
those that are in control Of the desti-
MES Of the Moffat road, he said that
when the line was completed to Steam
boat Springs 1t would connect with the
Moffat road at that point and also
with a new line being constructed by
the Hartman interests from Laramie
to Steamboat Springs or to Hayden.
This would form two eastern outlets
from the new road.
II the Hahn's Peak-Hayden line
were used the new road would mean
. cutoff Of 1873 miles on the direct
Hartman transcontinental route. BY
using the Moffat road it would lessen
the distance by rail between Denver
and Salt Lake by 200 miles. Short
refuses to say what financial inter.
ests are backing the road.

SALE Of RED

In keokuk This Year as Were

ARE TO BE USED HERE
Eighty Seven and one-hait Percent OF
the Money From the Sales Re-
mains In This
City.
ARE TO BE USED HERE

The report OF Emil F. Renaud, who
has had charge of the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas seals here, shows
that 5,04S seals were sold this year as
against 1851 last year.
This remarkable gain is all the
more pleasing when 1t Is remembered
that the majority Of the purchasers
took only small amounts and that the
entire sale was difused among great
number of persons. Although two
business concerns took one thousand
seals, most Of them were sold to in
dividuals for their Christmas pack
ages.
The Red Cross seal sale has for its
purpose both the securing Of money to
help stamp out the disease OF tuber-
|culosis and bringing the subject home
to large numbers CT people. The Red
Gross seals are now found in almost
every town or village in the country
and the vast numbers Of people that
purchase them may be counted as
aids in stamping out the disease.
Last year about 100000 seals were
sold in the state of Iowa and 1T was

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Dec. 27,-A
group Of Burlington citizens In con-

pany for the purpose of building a.
new railroad line, the construction of
which will begin early in the spring
and be rushed to completion. The
road Is projected to run from Bnr-
lington to Reardstown, ILL.,. and con
rect there with the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad company, one Of the western
lines OF which runs to st. Louis and
another to Beardstown
The new line, which is to be finan-
ced entirely by prominent Burlington
business men and some outside cap

in the hands Of the Burlington people,
is to be legally known as the Bur

lines had branches and main lines in

Thus the new railroad will have
traffic arrangements with the SAINTS

Connection With the Northwestern.
In connection with tbs new railroad
system the Muscatine North & South
will extend the facilities of the local
shippers northward by a new branch
OF that road, which will connect with
the Chicago & Northwestern line at
Upton, Iowa.
The Muscat!ne North C South road
will have no part in the ownership or
control Of the new line, and no other
railroad will have. The line will be
completely owned by the Burlington
shipping interests and the outside
capital WHICH will build 1t. Thus
those who construct the road will be
able to hold onto it, and not be forced
out Of ownership by the action OF
some majority stockholders, as has
been the case in former local rail
