san FRANCISCO, September 2d.-The
Southern Pacific Company have resolved
to extend the terminus of the Los Angeles
division from its present terminus at
Moiave to Sumner, a distance of eighty-six
miles north of Mojave. This makes the

slopes of the Tehachipi mountain and the
local roads, 254 miles in length. The COM

of money in changing the route on the
northern slope of Tehachipi, SO as to
make the curves more gradual and the
grades easier, as well as the crossings more
secure against cloudbursts, floods and
slides. The company have also put on
heavy steel rails, weighing seventy pounds
to the yard, which. with the Notifications
against mishaps will make this division
very secure against accident or the ele-
ments IN very wet season, and more Sc
cure for the heavy pushers that traverse
this section twice day all the year round.
