mental emigrant rates are demoral-
lied. A few months ago the Trans
contine ntal Assoc iation reduced emf
grant rates from New York to San
Francisco to $50. This was done to
meet the low rate by the Sunset
route. These sales were to be given
only TO salt water en- isrants through
to the Pacific coast. The stipu'a-
tons in this agreement were that
tickets s'ould bear the official stamp
OF the agent and the name ct the

This stipulation was violated, and
hence the decentralization. A meet
