comprise the most general and complete re-

offices 10 this district. which embraces Ball
offices in the oil region, the reduction of all
rates not special, for distances not over one
hundred miles, will be about thirty three
per cent For distances between one hun
dred and two hundred miles, nearly forty
per cent; In some distances 1t is still great
