FEATURES OF THE NEW LINE.
Tho length of the Western Pacific
from Salt Lake City To San Francisco
is 927 miles. which is lO4 miles longer
than the distance via the Southern Pa
cinc. The greater length Of the Western
Pacific comes from the route chosen by
its engineers IN the state of California,
being by way OF Beckwourth Pass
and down the Feather river canyon
to Orovillc. by way Of Marys-
willie, Sacramento. Stockton and Niles
to san Francisco. At Bcckwourth Pass
