NORTHERN PACIFIC TARIFF.
SAN FRANcIsCo, March 24-As re
CARDS the new tariff for the Northern
Pacific railroad, In conjunction wit
the Oregon & California railroad n
rates will be quoted to Tacoma an'
Seattle until the issuance of tn
Southern Pacifics Oregon and Wash
ington Territory tariff, which vii
cover all points north of the stat
line and west Of the Cascades. 1t i
thought here that the issuance Q
this new tariff emphasizes the fac
that the Northern Pacific, by reaso
of the completion of the Californi
& Oregon railroad, is competitor fo
California freight. The basis of tn
agreement between the two roads i
the TraIscontiuental Association
which expressly provides for the is
sIanae of joint freight tariffs in con
nection with all transcontinenta
roads The new rates are somewha
similar to those which have bee
quoted for some time past via th
Pacific coast steamers to Portland
1t is believed by local railroad me
that in future freight will be ,sbippe,
| by the all-rail route, thus inauguI
ating the California 81 Oregon ran
road as freight carrier.
