Give the Railway People Something

Cache County Advertiser. 25 February 1914; page 1

If you people are not good and give the Railroad people something, it will go the other way. That's where it ought to go at any rate.

Engineer Joseph E. West with his party of supervisors has just made a trip through the Bear River Valley, where they have been taking options on property for a right-of-way for the proposed electric line from Ogden to Logan. The engineer's report that many farmers along the line are willing to sell their property at a reasonable price, but others are of the opinion that they can demand almost any price. the most trouble according to engineer West was encountered near Collinston, Deweyville, and Honeyville.

If more trouble is encountered on the Collinston route,, it has been intimated that the company will build the line through Ogden Valley. The Ogden Valley route is several miles shorter and many of the farmers have offered a right-of-way across their farms for nothing. They are anxious that the line should be built that way as they realize that a large and fertile territory would be opened up and that the road would in various ways increase the value of their property.
