the expenditure of $5O.0OO.oOO. was
male known through the filing Of In.

known as the Provo & Eastern Utah
Railway Company. capitalized at $l0..

II the vast undertaking Is carried
out as planned and set forth. 1t will
mean the building Of new railroad
from SpI.- .-gvillc. Utah. to Steamboat
Springs. Colo. via Jensen. Uintah
county. Utah. forming connecting
link OF 300 miles with the Moffat road.
the building OF huge dam on the

east OF Jensen. to irrigate 100000
acres OF productive lind. and the con-
struction OF a big hydro.electric plant
at the dam to furnish electric power
In eastern Utah and adjoining terri
tory.
The plan. 1t Is declared. is being
sented by F. W. Short OF Chicago. VINO
was In Salt Lake recently in connec-
ton with the project. and who says
he has been In Utah for several
months.
According to Shorts statements. the

900 900. and the irrigation and dam
system $l5.OOO.OOO. making total OF
$4G.0O0.O0O. Other expenses incident

when the line was completed to Steam
