A notable illustration of this is
found in the reduction of rates Of let

cents, the increase in business more
than making up for the reduced rates.

Now, it would seem that after so
many years Of high passenger tariffs,
the managers of these western roads
would awaken to the fact that their
rates are well nigh prohibitiye, and
that if they would induce travel they
must put their rates down where the
people can reach them.

Simeon G. Reed, j. G. Ainsworth, Rob-

we're the principal stockholders in q
steamboat called the Oneonta,
a sidewheel steamer OF great beauty and
palatial accommodations. In 1878 they
sold out to Henry Willard, and he. in
turn, sold TO the Union Pacific railroad
company. The beautiful Oneonta was
broken up in 1878, and lives only in the
memory of the northwestern pioneer.
On his removal from Oregon to Los
Angeles county, Mr.. Reed bought ITO
acres adjoining Rosemeade and went
over to England to purchase thorough
bred horses for stocking it. He got six
mares OF the very rarest and best blood
in Albion, and a stallion called Marten-
hurst, who had run third in the derby
OF 1891, won by Common, with Cover
neur second. Good and competent
Judges pronounced Martenhurst the
best bred and best looking horse OF the
trio, so Mr.. Reed paid Lord Roslyn sl2, 900
for him. The horse reached his farm
which bears the name OF 'Oneonts,
on the 9th OF September last, and dieo
on the following day OF pneumonia, con-
tracted during the ride hither from j. Is.

Hamilton. Tnen his lordship backed
