Correspondence between Ephraim P. Elision and L. B. Adams, 1898
Scope and Contents
The papers in this collection chronicle the founding of the Davis & Weber County Canal Company and its early canal building projects. Although this one-box collection is relatively small, it contains several important historical documents, such as the letters and papers from the Union Pacific Railroad Company's Land Department, pertaining to the sale of railroad land (which had been granted for the construction of the transcontinental line) to the canal company. Also included are letters from the prominent Utah industrialist, Ephraim P, Ellison, who served as president of the canal company from 1898-1937.
