TOWNS IN THE VICINITY OF SALT LAKE CITY.
.
SOUTH.
South of Salt Lake City, in Salt Lake county, are a number of settlements ; and a considerable portion of the county is cultivated and inhabited, the dwellings being more or less scattered, as in an old set+ tled farming country. The first city on the direct road is
LEHI,
In Utah county, thirty-one miles south of Salt Lake City. It is pleas- antly situated on a plain, about three miles north of Lake Utah, a bean- tiful sheet of fresh water nearly thirty miles in length from north to south, by about fifteen miles in width from east to west. The streets of Lehi, as in all the cities and towns of Utah Territory, are wide, fringed with shade trees, with water running down by the sidewalks, used for irrigation purposes. Present population about 1,000.
AMERICAN FORK
Is four miles from Lehi; L. E. Harrington, Mayor and Postmaster. It was incorporated in 1858, and is a thriving little city. The hay lands surrounding it afford a considerable quantity for the Salt Lake market .: It has a co-operative mercantile association, of which Mayor Harrington is President, which owns a respectable store doing considerable business. Population 1,200.
-
PLEASANT GROVE
. Is three miles from American Fork, and is laid out one mile square, with the streets running at right angles. It has a co-operative mercan -. tile association. Thomas Wooley is Mayor: Population about 600.
PROVO
Is the county town of Utah county. It is forty-eight miles from Salt Lake City, and lies on the northeast side of Lake Utah, situated a little south of the Provo, or Timpanogos, river, and not far from the mouth of Provo canon. It has fine facilities in water power, farming lands, timber, the fisheries in Lake Utah, and in location, for becoming a place of considerable importance in the future. It has a beautiful church, which was opened for public worship in the summer of 1868; a brick court house; a theatre; a dancing hall, in which social parties are held; five district schools and a number of private schools.

THE IDAHO BAKERY, SECOND SOUTH STREET, IS THE PLACE TO GO TO. 176 TOWNS IN THE VICINITY OF SALT LAKE CITY.
SPRINGVILLE,
Six miles south of Provo, is a neat town, pleasantly situated, with a population of 1,200.
SPANISH FORK
Is twelve miles south of Provo, and not far from the mouth of Spanish Fork canon, up which is the most direct road to Cintah valley, in the Uintah range of mountains. Three miles from it, on the road to Payson, was the Indian reservation till the treaty made here by Government with the chiefs of the Utah tribes in June, 1865. Spanish Fork has a popu- lation of 1,200.
NORTH. The first settlement north of Salt Lake City is
BOUNTIFUL,
In Davis county, with a population of nearly 2,000, scattered over an area of several miles as a farming community. It has a very neat and elegant church, which is ten miles from Salt Lake City.
CENTREVILLE
Is three miles north of Bountiful, lying in a fruitful part of the country, with a farming population of 600.
FARMINGTON
Is the county seat of Davis county. It has a large adobe court house, the upper story of which is used for meetings and other public pur- poses; a substantial rock church, and a hotel. Its population is about 1,100. Distance from Salt Lake City, 18 miles.
KAYSVILLE,
Four miles north of Farmington, has a population of about 600; a sub- . stantial built church with a capacious basement story; also a hotel. · i OGDEN
Is thirty-nine miles from Salt Lake City, and lies between the Weber and Ogden rivers, near the mouth of Ogden canon. It was located and a settlement formed in September, 1850. Situated in the centre of a farming country, with thriving settlements around and contiguous to it, Ogden has natural advantages which cannot fail to make it a place of no little importance. It will be a station for the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads, and the point of'junction of the two great lines which, connected, span the continent from the Missouri to the Pacific. The rapid and largely increasing trade of Ogden since the first of January shows that business men have a keen eye to its rising importance, and that its growth is likely to be rapid. It has nearly 5,000 inhabitants, with North Ogden six miles distant to the north ;

Lynne three miles distant to the northwest ; Slaterville about two miles from Lynne; and, following on the same road, Plain City, some ten miles from Ogden. These settlements present, in the summer season, a beautiful prospect, the fields waving with heavy grain, the orchards bearing a wealth of excellent and luscious fruit, and the shade trees covered with a dense foliage.
Ogden is the county seat of Weber county. The Mayor is Hon. Lorin Farr, who has been a member of the Territorial Legislature for several sessions. Bishop C. W. West is Postmaster, and his energy and enterprise have done much to aid the growth and development of the · city.
It has a large tabernacle, for public worship, besides a number of meeting houses, in different parts of the city.
The officers of Weber county are :
Probate Judge-F. D. Richards.
Sheriff-Gilbert Belnap.
Deputy Sheriff-Wm. Brown.
County Clerk-W. Thompson.

County Recorder-W. Thompson.
County Surveyor-Jos. A. West.

WILLARD,
Fourteen miles north of Ogden, is a rapidly growing settlement, situated about a mile east of Great Salt Lake, and half a mile from the base of the mountains east. It has a population of over 800; Alfred Cordon, Postmaster.
BRIGHAM CITY, .
The county seat of Box Elder county, is a little over seven miles north of Willard, and is one of the handsomest towns of its size in Utah. Under the fostering care and energy of the Hon. L. Snow, it is steadily growing in influence, size and importance. The houses are mostly hand- some and neat structures, although but few of them are of pretentious appearance. Brigham City lies at the mouth of the Box Elder canon, up which the road passes to reach the southwest part of Cache valley, the canon opening into that valley a little distance from Wellsville, one of the principal settlements in Cache county. It is also three miles from Bear river, where the Union Pacific railroad crosses it. As a station of the U. P. R. R., it offers facilities for becoming a distributing point for the growing settlements of Cache county, and for Montana and a portion of Idaho. It has a very fine court house, in which public meetings are held, and a large and substantial tabernacle in course of erection. Its population is close upon 4,000.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.
THE construction of a railroad across this continent, so as to unite with a continuous line of track the Atlantic and Pacific oceana, and open -a new and more rapid means of communication between the nations of Europe and those of the far east, was a project discussed by advanced minds soon after the advantages of the locomotive were practically dem- -onstrated. Then the country to be traversed west of the Missouri river was a terra incognita, and for years afterwards was vaguely described on the maps as the " Great American Desert." Faint rumors, gathered from mountain trappers, occasionally reached the eastern states that there were "vast mountain ranges lying east of the Pacific coast, with deep and rug- ged gorges, almost impassable to man or animal, dividing their huge i bases and towering summits; while impenetrable deserts and wonders :startling and innumerable heightened the perils of a region to be dread- «ed by civilized man.
The explorations of Fremont, while they disabused the public mind of many previously entertained erroneous impressions, did not by any means elucidate the practicability of an overland railroad. Nor were ¿they calculated to encourage hope that the country through the Rocky Mountains and in the Great Basin could ever be made profitable in sup- sporting by its products a civilized population. When in 1846-7 the Mormons were compelled by mobocratic violence to leave Nauvoo and betake themselves to the far west for shelter, safety and a home, so pop- vular was the opinion that it was impossible for a civilized white popula- "tion to exist there, that the idea prevailed that they would perish of hun- ger or fall a prey to wild beasts and savage nomads. In July of 1847 their pioneers entered the valley of the Great Salt Lake; and having been firmly imbued with a belief in the future construction of an over- land railroad, during the whole of their tedious journey they carefully kept it in view, and endeavored to find a practicable route for it. It is "worthy of remark here, that the line which they marked, and subsequent- ly pointed out, in a memorial to congress, as the best adapted for the talked of railroad, has been very closely followed in the construction of the line for over seven hundred miles. Yet even when they had dem- -onstrated their ability to live and prosper in the Great Basin, and when the overland railroad project had grown to be looked upon as perfectly feasible, its construction and completion were placed away in the future to nearly the close of the present century. How rapidly events occur in this age! How fast we grow ! What unlooked-for yet natural combi- nations of circumstances have occurred to hasten the completion of a work . so vast, so important and involving and fostering so many overwhelming
