WESTERN PAC|F|C's
INTENTIONS
Scarcely a Doubt But the
FOad Will Pass Directly
Through WinnemuCCa

There is not q great deal to be learn
ed Of the intention of the Western
Pacific Railway company relative to
it's route across Nevada, except in
general way, from the copy of the
mortgage filed with County Reco der
Sheehan last Wednesday. From the
document, however, it is learned that
the road drops down into and crosses
the Humboldt valley, and. In order to
do this in going from its specified
eastern to western points at which II
crosses the mountains on each side
of the state, 1t is more than reason
able to presume that the road will
not go out of its way to keep from
going through the best town in the
state.
The route as outlined in the mort
gage begins at San Francisco, thence
to Oakland Stockton. Sacramento.
Marysville, Oroville and thence north
erly, northea sterly and easterly cross
ing the Sierra Nevada mountains to
point on the boundary line between
California and Nevada. thence in a
state of Nevada by a convenient,
practical and feasible route to a point
on the boundary line between Nevada
and Utah, and thence in a general
easterly direction to Salt Lake
The mortgage is signed by w. j.
Barnett, president: l.. r. Bush. assist
ant secretary: William H. Taylor. vice
president, and William NJ. Laws sec
retary.
There are eighty-seven printed
pages of the document. containing in
the neighborhood of $4,000 words, and
the fees for recording the mortgage
will be about $50.
The recording of the instrument in
Humboldt county is a further indica-
tion that the Western Pacific road in
tends to cross the county.
