The New West Magazine was published in the mid 1890s, and I can find very little information about this publication. What I can find leads me to believe that it was only published for one year and records the author's impression of different towns he would stop at as he passed through by train. There was an engineer named William F Ellis (also author of this publication) that worked for the railroad and as it was common for railroads at the time to publish propaganda disguised as information in order to entice passengers, I suspect that may have been the intent of this "magazine".
In any case, here are his impressions of Honeyville - just passing through of course.
