A great commotlou seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not a
new departure by any means, as the Dem
yer & Rio Grande Railroad company and
its connections have been operating a
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt La.-e, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through ser
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision of special excur-
siou agent, whose duty it is TO see that
passengers are given every comfort and
