New Name for Overland Train.
Tho Northwestern, the Harriman

change tho name of tho Overland
Limited trnin. which leaves Chicago
every day andmnkes the run to the Pa
cific coast in seventy-two hours. It.
will be known as the San Francisco
Limited.
In order to retain soma connection
with tho name Overland the cars which
aro to be used in these trains will be
ottered to rend: "San Francisco Limit
ed, Overland Route." The reason for
the change in name is said to bo an
insistent demand by Calilornians to
hnve tho train bear a name which shall
have some connection with the Pacific
coast. The name Oveilaid Limited
has been known for fifteen years, nnd
was given the first through train ol'
this character botwecn Chicago and
