The Great Northern's Cut to San Francisco
WIZ Not Cause Trouble.
There is no reason why tho recent cut Of
Nhe Great Northern to San Francisco should
prsoipitats itself and the Union Pacific into
some Of the Chicago papers. A railroad
says concerning it:
..The 10 called cut rates are a combina-
tiou OF the locals from st. Paul to Seattle,
ana thence by ocean to San Francisco.
than via the Northern Paciic's line through
Portland and over the Shasta route. The
Northern Pacific not only sells all rail to
San Francisco. but also sells at as low rates
as can be named by any other line to Port
land and thence via the ocean steamers to
Ban Francisco. There is NO business to
amount 10 anything into California during
tho hot months from this or any ether sec
tiou Of the country. 30 that the reduction
In rates TO Puget sound and San Francisco.
sven II the rates were being used by the
lines east Of st. Paul. which they are not,
cuts no figure whatever"
The Union Pacific has not vet reached
Ahe Great Northern's cut to Helena. Butte
and Puget sound, and consequently is Lees
liable TO meet the cut to San Francisco,
where these roads come into less competi-
tion than in the former case. The appar-
ant reason why the Union Pacific did not
meet tho cot in the former case is that II
has not sufficient Chicago business from
the competitive points to justify it in TAX
ing such action as would directly violate
