OF rates between Eastern terminals and Butte.

which has in contemplation the cheapening of
the cost of transportation across the continent
in tho interest of cities which the line reaches
/. IS also expected that the adjustment will
have due regard for the decision OF the inter-
state commerce commission with respect to
class rates to Spokane. and that it is also In
contemplation to arrange an equitable adjust
ment OF ali other rates as between the Pacific
coast points and interior cities.
