parture by any means. as the Denver

its connections have been operating
through car service between the Pa
cific and Atlantic Coast via. Salt Lake
Pueblo, Denver, Kansas City and
Chicago for years, and three da,
each wsek, viz. every Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evening. The
cars for this through service are of
the latest Pullman design, and are
supplied with clean linen and bedding
throughout. A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are
also under the personal supervision
