PLANS NEW RAILROAD
FOR CARBON COUNTY
Rio Grande Seeks Right Of Way in
Rich Coal and Farming
Country.

Plans on the part Of the Denver & Rio
Grande to open up the rioh agricultural
country between Price and Huntington in
Carbon and Emery counties were sug-
gested yesterday when application for
right way for such railroad was
made with the register and receiver OF
the Salt Lake City land office Not
only Will the road traverse an agricul-
tural country already rich. but il will
open the way to thousands of acres OF
the richest coal lands In the state, ly-
ing west OF Huntington and in the ad-
jaCent canyons.
The application for the right of way
came from Denver and practically no
explanation came with II and no infor-
ma ton as to what had already been done
lined, Will leave Price In southerly d.
rection, swerving slightly to the west
after Il few miles. the length TO be about
twenty-five miles.
Value OF such road could hardly be
overestimated, There are several large
irrigation projects under way there now.
in addition to many private enterprises,
and the people have been contempla ting
for some time the construction OF SUI
gar factory, Officials OF the Utah Idah no
Sugar company have been approached on
the subject and, with railroad in view.
ii is probable they will consider the pla n
much more seriously.
The railroad must be built within five
years in order to maintain the rights to
be acquired with the right Of way, but
although official announcement has not
been made. IL Is evident that construc-
ton VIII start in the not distant future.

r. S. Lovett, chairman Of the execu-
tive committee of the Union Pacific
system, will be present. Mr.. Lovett

1t is the purpose of Secretary Will
G.. Farrell Of the club to enlist sup
port of the membership for the Salt
Lake -Burley cutoff of the Oregon
Short Line. In his call for the meet
ing Mr.. Farrell says that this cutoff
would put Twin Falls, Idaho, six hours
travel from Salt Lake, instead of six
teen as at present, giving more rapid
passenger and freight transit and cut
ting the rates in two. He also says
that this road will put Utah on the
main line to the Pacific northwest of
the Union Pacific from Granger to
Ogden and of the Oregon Short Line
from Ogden to Portland, bringing more
travel to Utah.
In the call it is pointed out that the
right of way for the cutoff has been
purchased, $l,250,000 having already
been expended. He declares that the
Commercial club should help to secure
completion of this short cut, urging
the members to turn out in full force
and help the good work along, and
to prepare a statement on the sub
ject for presentation to the railway
officials.
