THE TRAVEL EAST.
Many Now Go by Way of
the Canadian Pacific.
Another Charge of Violation of the
Rules of the City Passenger
Association.

The steamer Walla Walls goes north thi
morning with another big list of passen-
gers for the East, via the Canadian Pacific.
Last week agents for other transconti-
mental lines freely admitted this road
secured the big eud of the eastbound
travel. and when one looks at the vast DIFF
ference in rates between this road and the
Southern Pacific and its connections this
fact is not to be wondered at.
The present schedule of the Canadian
Pacific shows that il Is selling first-class
tickets through to New York at S26 less
than the same can be secured for from
other lines. The decrease is noticeable in
the Chicago rates. the Canadian Pacific
selling at S11 under its competitors. The
difference in second-rlass rates to Chicago
is $40. From these figures it is apparent
that passenger can leave San Francisco
by steamer and travel first class to either
Chicago OF New York, paying for his food
aud sleeping-car berth on the way, for
about the same that the Southern Pacific
charges for transportation alone.
Notwithstanding the business done by
the Canadian road, the Southern Pacific
people claim that travel over their lines is
fully up to the average, aud that many
more people are coming West than are in
cluded in the list of those returning ONE.
The City Passenger Association has an
other case of alleged violation OF rules
under consideration. This time the Rio
Grande Western is the accused. The asso-
citation Of friends claim that the represen-
tatives Of the road mentioned have vio-
lated section Is of the agreement, which
specifies. in effect. that members of that
body shall do 30 business with the ticket
brokers.

E. Black Ryan of the Southern Pacific
was in Sacrament to Friday in consultation
with the State officials In regard to the
railroad taxes. 1t seems that the State
Controller some time ago sent out blanks
to the County Auditors, to be filled out
and returned to his office, showing the
amount of taxes paid by the Southern Pa
cific Company. Many of the Auditors re-
turned these blanks without filing them
out, some of them saying they knew moth
ing about the III after. AS consequences
the Controller is in quandary, Mr..
Ryan telephoned to Sacramento yes terday
