for freight to or from the several points of
exhibition should be presented to the agent.
These should be sent to the General Freight

equivalent to what the charges would have
been had the articles been forwarded be-
tween the first shipping point and Sacra-

Agents can explain to shippers of horses
and other live stock the necessity of MAX
ing consignments to themselves, and where
the man in charge is not the exhibitor his
name can be noted on the waybill, so that
delivery, where necessary, can be made to
him,
Agents will be particular to count ar
note the number of head of live stock in
carload lots on the waybills from point 10
point. Also, that shippers understand fully
that the amount of freight charges to be
refunded, upon conditions stated above,
will only be such as would cover live stock
s. U. c., at freight rates. If shippers de-
sire special service, such as passenger trains,
etc, or place higher value than live stock
calls for upon their stock, we shall retain
for such special service or extra risk all
charges over and above freight train con-
tract rates.
