Organised on August 23d, 1871, for fifty years, with a capital stock of $2,000,000. The first Board of Directors were J. W. Voung, of Suit Lake City; Joseph Rich¬ardson, New York; Legrand Lockwood, New York; Wm. 13. Preston, Logan, Utah; Hezekiah Thatcher, Logan, Utah; O. N. Liljenquist, Hyrum, Utah; Wm. Maughan, Wellsville, Utah; Lorenzo Snow, Brigham City, Utah; F. D. Richards, Ogden City, Utah; Lorenzo H. Hatch, Franklin, Idaho; M. W. Merrill, Riochmond Utah; Samuel Roskelley, Smithfield, Utah; Wm. Hyde, Hyde Park, Utah. Grade was first made near Brigham City, in August, 1871, and, at many points on the survey, the work was commenced about the same time. The first rails wore laid near Brigham City, Box Elder County, in March, 1872, and oars were run from Brigham junction to Logan on Feb. 1st, 1873. Grading commenced at Ogden in September, 1873, and the rails were joined near the residence of George Marsh, south of Willard, in January, 1874. On the 22d of May, 1874, the first train of (10) cars, flats, covered with tarpaulins, left Ogden for Franklin city, Idaho, loaded with merchandise for Montana. This train barely escaped being burned on acconnt of being exposed to sparks falling on the open cars. The Railroad will be sold March 20th, 1878, when its title will change from "Utah Northern" to "Utah and Northern." The following are the Board of Directors: Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon, Joseph Richardson, John Sharp, Presi¬dent; M. Thatcher, Seoretary; Legrand Young, William Jennings; John Sharp, Treasurer. The sale was the result of a bargain or agreement on the part of the new company to extend the Railroad 96 miles north of Franklin, to Snake river. The terms of the contract are already agreed to, arrangements are made, the contract is assigned and the ''Extension" will be prosecuted at once.
