Friend Huntington,

The Territory west of Ogden in great part must always be open to the U. P.

Our only protection is by the control of that road, and sooner or later we shall be compelled either to buy or consolidate. It is a question only as to when it shall be done. And [there?] will remain if not done before the Control of the lines that may penetrate a part of the same Territory from the south.

By controlling the U. P. and the 35 & 32 Parallel lines east as far as longitude of Forth Worth. The Territorry must [of?] the Wasatch from the Columbia to the Gulf of California would be under control and impenetrable to others. I would like to work up to this. We can develop an empire in extent and control its carrying trade. Oregon is gaining steadily in population and if it had R. R. connections from Winnemucca on the C. P. it would fill

up rapidly. Its business would add greatly to the earnings of the [U?]. P. and correspondingly to the C. P. A vigorous policy on our part is a necessity to our interests. We have in C. P. and S. P. about seventy millions of assets at present commanding no credit available for money. Our C. P. [insert] stock [/insert] ought upon its merits to be at par, and available as a collateral. It could be put on the stock board here and made available as a collateral and some sales made at fair rates - at least I think so. I quite agree with you that the important thing is to make our stock have a market value. But Fisk & Hatch are not the men to do it. Our stock properly on the market and we would have the means to protect ourselves and do those things generally which our business requires.
