SAN FRANcrsCo, Dec. H.-In accord
anoe with the agreement between the
Northern and Union Pacific railroads,
tickets from San Francisco to the East
via Portland, thence over the Oregon
Short Line to Garrison and Ogden, and
thence over the Union Pacific to Omaha
we're placed on sale today. Whether
this will conflict With the rules of the
Tpanscoutinental Association. which
provides that the Northern Pacific shall
keep out of California, remains to be
seen, but the agents Of other roads are
not disposed to regard the move
ment favorably. The point 10 that
the ticket via the above roads
from this city arc offered at
schedule rates. or. in other words, q
ticket East Can be puSehased At the
same rate via the Oregon Short Line -
over other roads. In the case Of the
Northern Pacific. the aQeuts to come
under the rule must exact the fare from
here to Portland in addition to the cost
Of the tiosst from the East. Il IL claim
Cd on the other hand that the Union
Pacific entered the TTanscontipental
association on the condition that the
Oregon Short Line should NOT b amea-
able 70 It's rrles, and that condition was
accepted. Objections Are not only di-
