WESTERN
PACIFIC,
Crosses the Central Pacific IN the
Neighborhood of Wads-
worth.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
If Burlington interests are behind the
Western Pacific railroad, a mystery
that has been source of wild specula-
ton in railroad circles for many
months has at last been explained.
Up to the present time we'll informed
railroad men and the public generally
have agreed with one accord that
Gould was behind the Western Pacific
The railroad map OF the country be-
tween the Missouri river ard the Pa
cific coast seemed to offer convincing
evidence that only the Gould system
could be responsible for all the industry
that has marked the Western Pacifics
operations up to the present time and
other evidence has not been wanting to
prove that Gould was furnishing the
millions that had been put into the
enterprise.
"A doubt was thrown on this under
standing Of the situation recently when
one Of the promoters of the Western
Pacific declared emphatlcally that
Gould had no interests in the enter
prise and that its fortunes we're bound
up with those Of the Moffat line be-
tween Salt Lake and Denver. Many
people will now accept as plausible the
statement that the Moffat road and the
Western Pacific are Burlington en-
terprses and the Burlington is to OBJ
tain an entrance into San Francisco,
although official confirmation Of the
fact is still wanting.
The public has had ample evidence
for some time that the Western Pa
cific is to become an actualty just as
quickly as the roadbed can be graded
and laid with ties and rails. Rights Of
way have been secured for the greater
part Of the proposed line, and con-
struction work is in progress at several
p2ints. The company has obtained
terminal facilities In this city, Oakland
and elsewhere, and is engaged in Sc
curing franchises for various branch
lines and feeders. The main line will
be run from Oakland to Stockton, Sac
ramento. Oroville, and through the
Beckwith Pass. Crossing the main line
Of the Central Pacific in the neighbor-
hood Of Wadsworth, Nevada. and from
that point will follow almost in an air
line to Salt Lake CITY, where. accord
ing to latest admissions. II will connect
with the Moffat road. The estimated
length Of the line from here to Salt
Lake is $40 miles. and the estimated
cost $2o.5oo.oco.
