The States Of Aigsiss Last Evening--The
New schsduIe and the Ro utcs
Covered-It Ia to Chicago
and Other Points.

Although decidedly tardy and almost
too late to allow any advantage to be de.
rived from it, the long hoped for railroad
rate war to the east has now been posi-
lively etarted.
1t 10 between the Southern Pacific and
Sauia Fe routes and at last accounts the
former bad scared the advantage of a
decided slash, although the Santa Fe
may go them one better today.
Yesterday afternoon dispatch was
received at the local Office of the South.
ern Pacific company from Mr.. T. H.
Goodman, the general passenger agent
at San Francisco, ordering cut gof $l5
on all frst.class tickets to Kansas City,
st. Louis. Chicago and points east. The
new cut is to take effect on Monday,
September 18th. The following are the
rates TO be charged from that time:
Kansas City. single trip. closely linn
tied, $S5; single trip 30days, $45; round
trip 90 days. $50 5o; round trip, nine
months. $65.
To Chicago, $42 25, 1925, $65 and
5000.
/. To st. Louis. s35, $3.50, $50 and $77.
The present out does not extend over
Pacific railroad, but affects only the
Sunset route.
The following is the route over which
ge!es to Ell Paso by thesSouthern Pacific
~ a rxrtc ID. - L..
Worth by the Texas and Pacific, and
from the latter place TO either Kaneae
City or Chicago vim the Rock Island
company'a new line, the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas route. sn,r4s.s
From Fort Worthsto ST. Louis the
route is by the Sc. Louis, Iron Noun tain
and Southern railroad. vThese lines,
running from Fort Worth, are said to
be new rontes and are not operated by
the Southern Pacific company.
The present move on the part of the
Southern Pacific officials is, they say, a
checkmate to cut OF $4.00 ordered by
the Santa Fe people two days ago That
the latter company will now retaliate is
certainly probable. The cut is aimed
directly at the Santa Fe route, as the
rates take in only places along the
Southern California system; namely,
from Los Angeles to Cotton, Redlands,
Riverside, Santa Ana and San Diego
and the places lying on the lines run
ming from Los Angeles to these places.
Any towns not touched by the Southern
California lines are ineligable to the
cut, and have to come to Los Angeles to
purchase the cut rate tickets.
The local officials of both routes are
reticent in regard to any probable rate
war. Mr.. X. H. Wade. general mana.
ger of the Southern California route,
stated last evening that he had re-
csived no official notification of any
cut. and declined to make any further
statement.
