The impression seems to still prevail
that there is a connection at La Junta
between rains Nos. 6 and 3, likewise Nos.

October Goth, the same as last year. Ow-

connection, without additional train SER
vice, the Atchison will handle its Califor-

2 will have through tourist sleepers be-
tween Los Angeles and Chicago, and Los
Angeles and Kansas City; also, standard
sleeper between Los Angeles and Chicago,
and between Ell Paso and Kansas City, as
at present.
