fishes tho following information for the
benefit of.thess who propose to join in
the grand excursion to the Pacific coast:
Regarding from eastern points, We can
state that the very favorable rates made
from points on the Missouri river, as
heretofore announced, have been supple
mented with corresponding reductions !
by eastern lines fer the benefit of COM.
radios of the G.. A. r., members Of the
W.. IL. o., and of kindred organizations,
their families and female relatives, who
may desire to attend tho national
encampment, or visit California during
the summer of 1876, aad we call your
attention to the following extract from
the report of our subcommittee Oh
transportation:
1--WE beg to inform You that IN oonnec-
ton with the $50 rate from Missouri
river terminals to San Francisco and
return, what are known as the lows lines
have made q connecting rate of $3.50
from Chicago to said terminals and re-
turn, and the New York trunk lines have
likewise decided upon o connecting rate
of $500 from New York to both Chicago
and st. Louis and return"
.The New York rate will probably be
the ruling figure for the neighboring ter
rltory, while for the country east there
oil, that 10, the northeastern states, a
small additional rate will naturally be
added to the New York rate, and for the
territory between New York and Chicago
corresponding reductions will un.
donbtedly be established"
"This will make the through combi.
nation rate from New York via Chicago
$50 so. At the same time we are in
clined to think that sven a lower rate
will be made, based upon st. Louis
figures, which muat be alike applicable
to all competing lines"

following, for the benefit OF oil con-
cerned:
