Utah-Idaho Central
Railroad Co., to be New
Name for Electric Way

The Ogden. Logan & Idaho Rail.
way. will, on and after January 1
1918, be known as, and its official
name will be Utah-Idaho Central
Railroad Company.
The change in the official name is
brought about through loss of freight
business, whereby. in the use OF in
itials, all freight is billed o. L. & I.
which is similar to the initials of the
o. s. l.. that 1t has been a financial
loss to this company.
While the layman is under the
impression that interurban lines are
passenger carrying lines only. and
their earning powers are from that
source, this is incorrect as far as the
o. L. & I. is concerned, particularly
on account of the territory it serves.
While it has a considerable popula-
ton located tributary to its lines,
community interests govern, which
results in a short haul of passengers
this electric line, therefore must
look to freight business for its rev.
enue, and with the present through
freight rate arrangements and con-
nections with all lines in the United
States, it is endeavoring to build up
its freight business.
Before the change of the name Of
the railroad, much freight which has
been intended to move via its line.
has been lost, and the operators feel
that the change will result material
ly in the increase Of freight business.
This line was constructed by Utah
capitalists, whose interests are all in
Utah and Idaho. and they feel that
they have the support of the ship
ping public tributary to its line, and
with the congestion on the steam
lines, can serve its patrons more eff
ficiently in this business. Another
feature, electric lines are operated
by use Of electric energy, furnished
by the Utah Power & Light Com
pany, who have spent some fifty mil
lions of dollars in construction OF
power plants in Utah and Idaho, thus
assuring continual and efficient SER
vice all the time, this must be looked
upon as a great saving in fuel, which

Amethyst's Colors.

A man recently brought back to q
jewelry store three rings set with anne
thysts which had faded to pale gel
low within a few months after he had
bought them. He then discovered that
instead Of amethysts the gems were
topazes. The latter vary In color from
pale yellow to deep violet and purple.
Under high temperatures amethysts
change color, becoming first yellow,
then green, and finally entirely color
less. Under ordinary temperatures.
however, genuine amethysts do not
change color.

expend approximately 100000 in
the purchase of new freight equip
ment, such as coal, stock and box
cars, this equipment will be received
during the year 1918.
Prospects in Cache Valley are I'M
told, and within the next four or
five years great developments in
stock raising, dairy business and ag-
riculture will be seen, as the larger
tracts of land will be cut up and
more intensive farming done.
The enterprising people Of Cache
Valley contemplate considerable pub
licity and advertising throughout the
United States. which will bring in
quite number Of new farmers. With
the drainage Of waterlog lands, quite
a number OF thousand acres will be
put upon the producing market. The
Reorganization OF the Oneida Irriga-
ton District in Franklin County
Idaho will mean much to that sec
ton, as it is contemplated to expend
approximately $4,000 in recon
structing and enlarging the capacity
of dams, as we'll as the charging Of
canals and latterals. This project
will serve successfully an additional
ten or twelve thousand acres of
land. which acreage will be produc-
ing in the year Of 1918.
The territory tributary to the Utah
Idaho Central is served with trans
portation better than in any section
of the West, which is a great In
ducement to increasing the popula-
ton, being close to the large mar
kets Of Ogden and Salt Lake City.
and city attractions, this territory
should develop fast. Passenger rates
being cents a mile and service be-
ing unexcelled, 1t has a future. that
larger localities Of the West are
not favored with.
