-A railroad man fr6tn' the Central
Pacific was in town a day or two
ago and said that 'road no longer
made any pretentions to accommo
date the traveling- public, nor made
any effort to secure bnsiness. This

that Huntington is robbing the
Central Pacific of the east-bound
traffic and sending- it over the
Southern Pacific.
The fact that this railroad repor
ter sometimes gets the reverse lever
located in the stack of the locomo
tive, or the pilot at the rear end of
the tank, gives the boys a chance
