Hotel men will travel from Chicago to their
annual convention in Denver, in special
trains, at 81 per mile for the whole train
This will cost 81, 210 per train from Chicago
to Denver. If they wish to crowd the limit
48 Of them can go in each sleeper. With
eight sleepers in the train this would make
1884 passengers, or 1913 each for the ride
between Chicago and Denver. Giving each
passenger a whole berth the rate would be
$6.25 each. This is from about Il to u cent
q mile, according as the train is loaded
The presumption is that this rate is not
below cost and therefore suggests many
vitality important thoughts to those who
pay from 21s to cents a mile.
