One of the ordinances of Great Salt Lake
City, forbids any person to bny intoxicating

way Brigham exercises a monopoly of the stock, $1,500,000; Incorporated November 10,
THE COLUMBIA RIVER ROAD.
The present isolated eonditiqn of this cily,
suggests to the minds of the people the neces
sity for the improvement of the road down
the Colcmbia River. It is an enterprise which
will be mainly profitable during the pleasaut
season of the year, but its usefulness to the
publie will be moat felt when tbe navigation
of the river is stopped.
If a road should be constructed, and main
tained la a passable condition throughout tbe
entire year, It would certainly prove ft lilghy
remunerative Investment to the builders.
From this time forward the increase of live
stock in the Willamette Valley will find its
way into tbe Columbia River Basin, and the
movement of population, seeking new settle
ments, together, with tourists traveling either
on horseback or with vehicles, would form a
current, which at moderate tolls, would justify
tbe investment of a considerable sum of
money. As time progressed, it would pay
better and better to the end of time. If the
river road were properly improved, it would
attract all the stock-travel, as there is no other
route by which it can be moved across the
Cascades Range, at that season of tbe year in
which it is of tbe greatest importance that u
should be transferred to this side of the mouov
tains.
Tbe General Incorporation Law is particu
larly favorable to tbe projection and prosecu
tion of enterprises of ibis nature, and such a
work, energetically, carried forward, w411 not
be likely to have any competition for many
years.x Iu case it is ever ii.Biiluted, tbe ad
vantages belonging to tbe older rnterprise
would render it futile.
The difficulties in tbe construction of tbe
road are considerable, but by no means insu
perable, and above all the prospects of imme
diate remuneration are so great that a limited
amount of capital would be required to render
it a passable bridle-trail, and adapt it to the
passage of loose stock. There are already
two incorporated companies having Tested
rights on the line road, as follows:
Columbia River Company, capital stock,
$30,000; incorporated October 14, 18G2 ; in
