tracted throughout. The instrumental
solos by Miss Effie Thompson and Prof

Rate THoublea

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 20.-The traffic
department of the Northern Pacific rail.
road has received Instructions from New
York in regard to the transcontinental
row of the Northern Pacific, and will
make the Portland rate correspond with
the San Francisco daily, though nothing
has been said in regard to the ocean
line from Portland TO San Francisco. It
is believed the Northern Pacific will
work for business In that way. A cut
of 80 per cent has been made in the
freight rate from the east to Portland
and San Francisco. Passenger rates
have also been cut, and first-class lin
tied tickets can now be obtained for
$65.80 to San Francisco.

Sheen Herhnra nnI.h

SANTA FE. N. NJ, Feb 2O-NeWs has
been received here from La Junla of
the killing of eight Mexican sheep
herders. Eight of Solomon Luras' sheep
herders had tight with a band OF
Apaches on the little Colorado river in
Arizona, which resulted in the killing OF
all of the former. Major Morueos came
IN from La Junta last night and stated
posses have gone in pursuit of the muir
derers. The Mexican inclines to the
belief that the killing was not done by
Apaches, but by cowboys. The feeling
between cowboys and sheep herCiers has
been very bitter owing to disputes over
grazing ground.
