The Western Passenger association has de-
clded to place round-the-world tourists tickets
on sale at 5000. 1t was decided to inaugu-
rate summer tourist rates June Ist instead of
May nth. 1t was agreed that lines of the
association will require as their percentage
the regular one-way words fair rate where
they receive a one-way haul on worlds fair
round trip tickets.
Red Willow county people who contem-
plate visiting the Worlds Fair should be
careful about purchasing wildcat cheap rail-
road tickets, which may prove worthless, and
thus cost the purchaser much annoyance. The
safe way will be for the people to call upon
Mr.. Hulaniski for information. He can sell
you tickets just as cheap as they can be found
anywhere. When you buy a ticket from your
home agent you can rest assured that it will
carry you through. This article is not written
as an advertisement THE TRIBUNE offers
these suggestions, knowing that if adopted
} they will save hundreds of our people trouble
and expense.
