FRUIT FROM DIXIE
IS SOLD IN ZION

For the first time in its history,
Utah s Dixie country yesterday invad-
ed the local produce market with a
consignment of peaches and apples that
created a sensation among local pod
uce handlers aud bids fair to mark a
precedent Of far-reaching Importance,
The consignment was in the nature
of an experiment, the success of which
probably will mean the beginning of
regular shipping from Utah's semi
tropical fruit district into Salt Lake In
competition with southern California
fruits. Frank Barber, one Of the larg-
president Of the Dixie Fruit g. Produce
company at Hurricane, twenty miles
east of st. George, arrived yesterday
morning with twenty crates OF peaches
and apples. He was forced to haul
the fruit sixty miles by wagon to
Lund, from which point he shipped
them over the Salt Lake route. In
spite of this handicap the consignment
arrived in splendid condition, and
when placed by the side of the south
ern California product at the Growers
tied demand. Before noon the entire
shipment was sold. the peaches bring
ing SO and $3.50 per box and the APP
Piles $1.50 per box.
Mr.. Barber is enthusiastic over the
outcome Of his experiment EI had no
idea that we could law the fruit down
in Salt Lake market in such excellent
condition. ne said. "My peaches
arrived in better condition than most
Of the California fruit shipped here In
refrigerator cars.
"All we want in the Dixie country
is railroad to eliminate the sixty-mile
haul by wagon and we will beat the
world at early fruit shipping. Give us
an even break with the fruit growers
of California and We will run them out
of the Salt Lake market in one sea
SON.
|. Mr. Barber and his associates do not
intend to sit idly by and wait for
railroad. They mean To force a recog
milton from the railroads by beginning
now, regardless OF their handicap, an
active competition with outside grow
ers on the local market.

Large Sums to Be Expended
on Rio Grande and
Western Pacific.
IN UTAH AND NEVADA
Work in Each State Goes to
the Utah Construction
Company.

Information was received here yester-
day to the effect that the Utah Construc-
tlon company had been awarded two I'm
portant contracts on the Gould lines. One
Of them Is for the reduction OF the West
ern Pacific grade just west OF Proctor.
New. and the other Is for the grading
OF the second main line track between
Thistle and Tucker, Utah
Those In charge OF the local offices OF
the construction company said last night
thet they knew nothing OF either con-
tract. except TINT IF they We're awarded,
work would be begun right away. The
superintendent OF the local office was in
Nevada, where It is thought he is looking
after the new work.
The contract on the Western Pacific
is for the reduction of the grade on what
Is known as Arnold's s-oop. This was
construction and the "Shoo-Fly" road
now in use was intended as only tenn
porary arrangement. The loop VIII
lengthen the line five miles. but tho re-
duction OF the grade Will make It possible
for the company TO make even better
time than 1t now does and that without
the use OF helper engines. This is the
only place on the Western Pacific where
the grade Is more than ! per cent. 1t Is
understood that the expenditure for the
work was authorized about two months
ago
The contract on the Denver & Rio
Graude covers seventeen and one-half
miles of second main line track between
contracts already let are completed, the
road Will be double-tracked between
Thistle and Helper, and with the other
contracts all along the line the work Will
be carried on with the ultimate end In
view of having the entire line double
tracked.
