finally disposed of. The result arrived

PACIFIC NOT TO
HANDLE W. Il. PASSENGERS

To correcta a mistaken idea that the
Southern Pacific is to handle all the
passenger traffic out of Winnemucca,
Banks Arant, Western Pacific agent
here, today explained the new order
on passenger service, effective August
l. Passenger trains over the Western
Pacific will continue to arrive and de-
part from Winnemucca as at present.
but upon arrival in Sacramento will
be merged with Southern Pacific
trains and run into San Francisco
over Southern Pacific tracks. The
only other changes embodied in tbs
new order do not affect Winnemucca
travel at all, but are merely to the
effect that there will be no further
trains run over the Western Pacific
road between Stockton and San Fran
cisco. One train each way daily will
be run between Stockton and Sacra-
mento.
No orders have been received re-
garding the freight business. For the
present it will be carried on as in the
past. Undoubtedly, later on. the two
roadbeds will be operated as a double
track system-that is, all eastbound
trains to be run over the Southern
Pacific track and all westbound trains
over the Western, or vice versa-be-
tween here and Wells. A crew is now
at work on the eastern outskirts OF
this city laying cross-oyer track be-
tween the two rights-of-way.
