CHICAGO. Aug. 21.-Knights Templar
rates to Boston are going from bad to
worse. Restrictions of everv kind were
virtually removed fIom the tickets today
by number of the roads. The Wa ash
sold tickets with a guarantee that they
would be good for return any day from
now TO the final expiration of the time
limit. Under the original agreement the
| tickets were not to bs good for return
until August 9th and had to bear the
signature of the original purchaser. To-
| day tickets were sold for bearer. This
simply means that from now until the
25th the general business of the roads will
be done at half rates, as the tickets are
good for anybody and are as unrestruict-
ed as any round-trip ticket could be.
The holders are not compelled to 90 to
Boston to have them executed but may
use them to and from any point en- route.
Several roads are shading rates consider
ably below one fare. BrJKers are loaded
up with tickets and are being paid a big
commission by the roads on their sales.
Each OF the western roads had bound
itself to furnish the chairman of the as
sociation with list of sales from all COM
mon points with the number and de-
scriptions of all tickets sold. Under this
arrangement it will be possible to tell
whether any OF the tickets found on the
market were issued in any irregular man.
ner. A daily inspection of the market
will be made while the tickets are
on sale and each road will be called upon
to redeem all tickets of it's issue found
to have been put on in manner not
strictly legitimate.
Ticket brokers are boasting today that
notwithstanding the restrictions placed
around the harvest excursion tickets by
the western roads they will be able to do
an immense business in them. They
claim they have discovered a way of get
tins around the restrictions.
Western freight agents do not seem to
be any more disposed than their pa.sen-
ger association to surround themselves
with restrictions thay may prevent their
getting business for the remainder of the
year. 1t is predicted that tomor .ow's
meeting for ths purpose of recognizing
the Western Trunk line committee will
be failure.
The earnings of the Atlantic and Pa
eific for the week are $62. 626, an increase
OF $3227 for the month to date 81, $40, 921,

Subsidy Completed and Work to Be Conn

SEATTLE, WASH, May 9.-The subsidy
of $500,0O0 to be given by the people of
Seattle to the Seattle and Lake Washing
ton Waterway Company, which is to fiji in
the tide flats and excavate ship canal to
Lake Washington, was completed to-day,
and work will begin by May %, the date set
by the contract with the State. The work
to be done is the excavation of two water
ways, connecting the Duwamish River
with the sound, the excavation of a canal
from the harbor to Lake Washington, a
distance of two miles, and the filling of
about 1900 acres of tide lands.
This work will open Lake Washington as
a freshwater harbor to the largest ships,
will add eighty miles to the available water
frontage and give the city abundant level
space for business purposes. The work
will cost about $7,O00,000 and occupy about
five years, and the money will be furnished
by st. Louis parties, represented by the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company. The
lake canal has been advocated by many
authorities for forty years, and after much
effort an appropriation of $4,000 for it's
construction by another route was obtained
from the last Congress, but the work has
now been undertaken and will be carried
out by private enterprise.
