TRANSPORTATION.
Gen. M. D. Flower Chairman-After OBJ
tanning the lowest railroad rates ever granted
any event, this committee found itself heavily
burdened with details as to dates of selling
tickets, and other important matters, which
have been disposed of in manner that will
be satisfactory to encampment visitors.
Gen. Flower informed the board that
the railroads in general were acting in
good faith in the matter of rates, with
the exception of some roads reaching
into South Dakota, which were not liv-
ing up to their promises. The result
was the existence of considerable i'll
! feeling among the people of that state
who are not getting the benefit of the
rates agreed upon. Referring to the
handling of the numerous trains as
they arrive, Gen. Flower said that Mr..
Plough, the president of the Union
Depot association, had called a meeting
of the various railroad representatives
for this afternoon, to discuss that very
matter.
