well observed, the tariff rates ruling before
the fair opened were more honoEed In the
breach than the observance.
The rates for single trips viii be pub
ilshed in . few days. and viii Doubtless be
about ths same Is before the fair. They
have been more heavily reduced than the
round trip rates, for single trip tickets
gave less scope 10 the seaipers than the

readily when there were no cheap return

some INCORPORATING business and swell
their depletad earnings while reducing
their operating expenses by taking OF

retain only the regulafxinter service until

PRETTY SMOOTH TRAVELLING.
Some OF tho Luxuries OF . Msgnfnceni
Railway Train Described.

Il IL conceded by connoisseurs of travelling
that the "North-westcrn Limited" OF "The
North Western Line. between Minneapolis and
ST. Paul and Chicago. Is the most magnifcensiy
appointed, the most sumptuous, the beat
equipped and altogether the most satisfactory,
ia all respects, OF any train west of Chics ago,
end for that matter without q superior in
America.
1.-THE North Western Limited" leaves Mime
apolis every night in the year at 7:s0 O'Clock,
ST Paul at $40 for Chicago, and is the only
train west OF Chicago equipped with buffet
smoking library coach ana Pullman and wag-
ner private compartment sleeping cars. The
buffet smoking coach 10 manihcently up
hoistered, Is furnished with the latest period
icals and writing materials, large, easy chairs
and toilet rooms, and with It's complete equip
ment for serving light refreshments makes the
traveller as comfortable while making his jour
ney as though he was in the smoking room Of

TOLL ROAD NO MORE.
Snoqualmie Pass to Be Kept
Free TO Travellers.
KING AND klTTrTAs AGREE.
They Unite to stop Toll Collecting. and
Can Now Make the Road . Beau
tiful Mountain Drive.

Toll collecting on the Snoqualmie toll
road, either on the King county or the
Kittitas county end, is thing of the past.
County Commissioner Wooding has re-
ceived a communication from the board of
county commissioners of kittitas county
heartily acceding TO the proposal sent
them by the King county board about
three weeks ago that the two counties
unite in keeping the road open and free
to all.
This puts an end to the game of those
who have heretofore LEVIED tribute upon
emigrants passing over the road. 1t was
through the influence of the Kittitas
were arrested for forcing their way
through the pass in spite of Toll Collector
Beard and his shotgun were acquitted in
Eslensburg few days sgo and allowed to
rejoin their families in North Bend.
The commissioners of the two counties
will now be urged to put the road in good
condition for travel. Persons who have
travelled over it from Snoquaimie to e.
lensburgh say that the pass which it fol-
lows is natural gateway through the
mountains and that the road could be
made pessabie at comparatively slight ex-
pense. liz needs the clearing away of wind
falls. the filling up of few mud holes and
swampy places with rock or corduroy and
the building of rough rustic bridges across
the rivers 70 make ii possible for travel
ers to use it regularly. Some still further
expenditure would make il possible for
carriage TO be driven with ease over the
pass, so that visitors could, without en-
during any of the hardships of mountain
eering. enjoy the beauties of the scenery in
such leisurely way as is not practicable
on rapid railway journey.

George III. Wilson, United States weather
observer in Seattle, Was asked yesterday
IN explain Just what first-ciass weather
service meant He SAID ne had received
no word from Washington City regading
any changes in the equipment OF the
cffice. but he supposed that. according 70
the Washington City telegram in the PosT-
IsTELIIGEscKR, some such move was con-
tempiated.
He said that If the Seattle Office were TO
be placed on level with the best offices In
the country il would mean that new In
struments would be supplied. by which 8
continuous record would be automatically
kept Of the barometer, temperature, rain
fail, sunshine, wind velocity and wind
direction. Only one OF these, wind
velocity, is nov kept continuously. In
addition TO the new instruments large
printed maps would be furnished and re-
ports received from q larger number Of
stations. These maps would be issued
daily and contain not only synopsis OF
the weater for the previous twenty-four
hours. but also the probabilities for the
next iwenty-four hours. Regular fore
casts of the weather fer this state and Sec
ton would be made.
