 TO T'IIB PICIFIC COAST.

The Famous Sunset Limited Trains of the
 Southern Pacific Company.
 From the emigrant wagon of, the early pioneer across the continent to the first railway car was a gigantic stride, but
 perhaps no greater than the evolution
 of the railway car itself
 | The rivalry between the transconti- mental lines has tended to improve the | equipment and furnishings of trains,
 until it seems as though perfection had
 been reached; and now comes the Southern Pacific company with its Sun set Limited train, which is a perfect poem in itself. The Sunset route of this
 company via New Orleans has been
 growing in popularity as a fall and winter route, and in the winter season of 1894 and 1895 the idea was first car- ried into practical operation of running
 a solid vestibule train from New Or leans to San Francisco with dining car
 attached The popularity of this ser-
 vice is evinced when it is known that
 about sixty-tive per cent. of the Cali l fornia travel last season was carried | by this route. In such enterprises inn | proyements suggest other improve ments, and these in turn suggest others, and the superb outfit of the Sunset Linn tied for the coming season will excel anything that has been offered the trav- | cling public in this country.
 | The cars composing this train were manufactured by the Pullman company especially for this service, and are mod | els of beauty and strength. In addition | to the regular sleeping cars of the lat est pattern there will also be run com
 bined boudoir and drawing room cars l These highest achievements of the car | builders art are of extra length, sev- | enty-seven feet over all, and will be fitted with seven separate sleeping apartments, each provided with it's own
 entrance. These compartments are complete in themselves and are fitted with two sleeping berths and wash-stand with necessary lavatory fittings. The
 rooms open on to an alleyway on one side of the car. At one end of the car 1 there is a beautifully furnished parlor l or drawing room, and a maid will be l in attendance to look after the wants | of the ladies. The gentlemen have heretofore had the maximum of com 1 fort, and opportunities for freedom of I movement not enjoyed by the ladies, ! who have been compelled to pass their
 time in the sleeping cars, but with the
 inauguration of the ladies' parlor, or
 drawing room, all is changed. Bowling | 4I.t. ai,, ftrya atrytlt

 In the dining cars of the Sunset Linn l tied meals are served on the European
 plan, and the bill of fare is an appetiz-
 ing one. Although the train is a spe- cial limited train, all first-class one way
 or round trip tickets are accepted for passage with, of course, the necessary l Pullman car ticket.
 These trains will be run semi-weekly, I Mondays and Thursdays, commencing | October 31, and do not conflict with the ] regular trains which furnish daily Pull
 man and buffet car service to Califor-
 mia.
