Criticjxiag Northern Pacific Charxes.
CHraaae, July 1.-THE Tribune says
there can hardly fail to become q dis
appointment in the public mind As to
the rates which il is announced the
Northern Pacific will charge travellers
over its lines TO the Pacific. In recent
interview in st. Paul General Traffic
Manager Muir stated to our reporter
that the rate for first class passage TO
Portland from S.. Paul would be 800,
and that for intermediate points and
for second class proportionate figures
would be made. The distance between
these two terminals of the Northern Pa
cific being 1916 miles, this charge OF
800 is at the rate of more than 81
cents per nile, il must be remembered,
as simple charge for hauling. Sleep
inc car Recommendations will be an ex-
ira and heavy one, and the cost OF
meals and iucidentals will make the
whole cost quite as much as that OF a
sail twice a. long across the ocean to
Europe. At these prices after
