concornlng tho prospoctivo disso lution of tho Union Pacific and tho Northwostern systems which if thorn is any foundation to it may moan a considorablo to Norfolk Nothing has boon said in tho novvspapors within the immediate past regarding tho dissolution of the prosont existing combine between tho Union Pacific and Northwostern as soon as tho Illinois Central shall havo completed its lino into Omaha but tho reported activity of the Northwestern in certain directions is of itself almost rithor convincing proof to some persons that such a change of affairs may take place It is asserted that tho North western ii negotiating for the extension of itH lino from Caspor Wyo to Salt Lake City and tho only nocessity for such nu nddition would asiso in tho future lack of a western outlet now furnished by tho Union Pacific With its lino cxtondod from Casper to Salt Luko tho Northwestern would bo in a position of ludopondonco and possess a direct route from Chicago to tho Mor mon city almost as good as any other lino Information comos from Salt Lake that tho Northwestern has boon nogota ting with tho owners of valuablo franchises through Emigration nnd Chalk Crook canyons into Salt Lako These franchises aro now in possession of a Salt Lako company which has had in project tho building of a railroad but so far has never passed boyond tho olo moutary papor stage In possession of tho Northwestern tho problem of its entry iuto Salt Lako would bo settled most satisfactorily and no dilficuity would be oucountorod in effecting an entranco Tho distance betweou Caspor and Salt Lako is sbout fiOO miles and tho country lying between is readily acces sible to railroad building Tho only hitch thus far has been in securing a suitable entrance into tho capital city of Utah and tho
