THE PORTLAND SPECIAL EXPRESS.
1t is Not Allowed to Do Local Busi-
ness.
Henceforth Even the Trainmen Are
Not to Know Where 1t
VIII Stop.

The San Francisco Bulletin of last
evening states that there is no present
prospect of a settlement of the Port
land rate war between the railroad and
the steamship lines. The train which
left that city last night for the north
carried eight sleeping coaches, and they
We're all filed.
The principal trouble with the rail
road people now is that they cannot
keep local passengers off the steamer
express. 4 certain amount of this
trouble comes, of course, from a failure
to understand that the train is only in
tended to carry through passengers, but
there are some people also who buy
through tickets as being cheaper than
tickets to local points, and take the
chance Of the train stopping somewhere
near the point to which they want to go.
The real fact of the matter is that no.
body but the Division superintendent
knows where the train will stop for coal
and Water-and it does not stop to
change crews, Tor that is done outside
the towns, the trainmen themselves not
knowing when they are TO be relieved
until the new crews take their places.
The whole purpose of the train is to
men have instructions to collect
through fares from all passengers on
the train. In'order that nobody may be
IN Ignorance of the facts, the Southern
Pacific has caused to be printed and cir
cUlated thousands of circulars, of which
the following is a copy, and has posted
the same notice on its stations and
ferry boats:
'"Fhe San Francisco and Portland ex-
cursion train is run for the exclusive ac-
commodation of San Francisco and
Portland passenger traffic.
This train does not stop at interme-
date stations for the purpose of leav-
ing or taking on passengers, inasmuch
as no tickets are sold nor baggage
checked for such points.
Such necessary stops as this train
may have to make for water. fuel, ETC.,
are irregular and unknown to the Traf-
6c Department; consequently we feel
obliged to give the travelling public due
warning not to board this train for the
purpose Of taking passage thereon for
any intermediate stations, for if they do
they run the risk of being carried by the
station which they may desire to reach.
Conductors are instructed TO de-
mand and collect the San Francisco and
Portland special rate in every instance
frcm those who may be found on this
train who do not hold the special pas
sage tickets which are solely for this
train only"

Special Brew.

Captain Ruhstaller is out with a
special brew of the famous Gilt Edge
for the holiday season. The special
brew is sure to win new honors for it's
maker and to add to the laurels that
have already crowned Gilt Edge king of
all steam beers. The extraordinary de-
mand for the product of Captain Run
stallers brewery continues to increase.
This is SO because of the merits of Gilt
Edge, which is an honest beer made
from malt and hops The reputation
of this favorite beverage has extended
throughout the State, and wherever it
has come into competition the popular
verdict is in its favor The special holt
day brew is in the nature of a treat to
the public, which has been so generous
in its appreciation of the efforts Of Cap
tain Ruhstaller to give the people the
very best beer that experience and
careful personal attention can procure
