Increase OF Business on the Central
Pacific.

The rumor that that famous Sunset
Route Of the Southern Pacific BY way
OF Portland would be closed indef-
initely und the traffic sent over the
Ogden Route has become a fact and
within a few days the passengers and
freight formerly travelling over the
Sunset route will pass through Og-
den.
The Sunset route with its line from
New Orleans to Los Angeles will be
interfered with by the many cases OF
yellow fever now raging i'll the south
and necessarily the stopping OF those
trains ont OF New Orleans with
freight and passengers from New
York by way OF steamer and neigh.
boring points and causing these to
come over the Union Pacific into Og-
den and on to the coast by way Of the
Central Pacific. The close traffic ar
rangements made by Central Pacific
with the Union Pacific will enable
that road to do as we'll as it formerly
did by way OF the Sunset route.
This change will last for months
and possibly for s, thus working
to a good advantage for Ogden.
Many people lever having seen this
country before, will have the oppor-
tunity OF SC doing, while the freight
to he shipped this way will be in very
large amounts, necessitatIng extra
trains. The regular passenger trains
now running will no doubt be
equal to the demand, although
the cars will have no room to spare
and it may be possible that some ex-
tras will be run.
The business OF the Southern Pa.
citic road from points northwest OF
New Orleans on the lines will not be
affected by the change to 20 INTO ef-
fect but it is safe to say, that part Of
the traffic is hardly a hall OF the full
business tranacted by the COM
pany.
Whether or not the force OF EN-.
ployea OF the the Southern Pacific
company at Ogden will he increased
is as yet hard to tell but the crews
employed at present will think Of
good times for a while at least.-Og.
