od dovolopment of Kastorn Utah and
an adjoining portion of Colorado,
was mado known yesterday through
tho filing of Incorporation articles
for what Is to bo known as tho Pro
vo and Kastcrn Utah Hallway com
pany, capitalized at $10,000,000. It
tho vast undertaking Is carried
out as planned and set forth,
It will mean tho building of a now
rnllrond from Sprlngvllle to Blonm
boat Springs, Colo., vln Jonsen, Uln
tah county, forming a connecting
link of three hundred miles with
tho Moffat road; tho building of n
hugo dam on tho Oreon rlvor nt
Split Mountain, northeast of Jen
son, to Irrlgato four hundred thous
and acres of productive land, nnd
tho construction of a big hydro-electric
plant at tho dam to furnish all
kinds of electric power In Unstorn
Utah nnd contiguous torrltory.

Tho plan, It Is declared, Is bolng
financed by Kastorn capitalists.
Thoso Interests nro reprosontod by
F. W. Short of Chicago, who was
In Salt I,ako City yesterday In con
nection with tho vast project and
who Is staying In Ogden
According to Short's assortlou, tho
railroad undertaking will require
$10,000,000. Tho hydro-electric pro
ject will cost $15,000,000, whllo tho
Irrigation and dam system will on
tall nn oxponso of $10,000,000, mak
ing a total or $40,000,000. Other
expenditures roqulrod as tho pro
ject Is carried out will bring tho
grand total to approximately $C0,
l00,000, It Is said.
It Is estlmatod that In case tho
projoct Is successfully worked out,
t)io Irrigated nroa of Utah will bo
doubled, tho population of tho stato

rect transcontinental railway line
will entor Salt Lako City and tho
Uintah Dasln country, ono of Utah's
rlchost soctlons, will begin a t)ow
era of development nnd progression. I
It Is conceded that tho great bene
fits that would accruo to Utah
through thoso changes can hardly
be estimated.
