It wasn't my business, you know.

My father started this mill out here during boom times, when it looked as though the railroad over Crestline would make the distance between Denver and Salt Lake so short that the country would build up like wild fire.

He got them to put in a switch from above Tabernacle to the mill and figured on making a lot of money out of it all.

But it didn't pan out, Ba'tiste.

First of all, the railroad didn't go to Salt Lake and in the second--" "The new road will," said the French-Canadian.
