that place about twenty carloads of ex-
tracted honey, Is, 900 sacks of wheat, with
1000 sacks vet to follow. 1000 barrels OF
cement from London, England, and about

many big vessels would discharge their
cargoes here for distribution in Southern
California, Arizona and New Mexico, and
then there would be a sufficient revival
of business in all channels of trade that
everybody would feel the effects
VICTORIOUS TRAVELLING MEN

tective association of Southern Califor-
MIA and Arizona are now happy lot of
fellows. Yesterday the Southern Pacific
company's assistant general passenger
agent, A. D. Shepard, announced a re-
duction in tie price of mileage books
and now the knights of the grip" are

$50 for 5000 mile book, with a rebate OF
$15, and s55 for 1000 mile book, with a
rebate of $40. This plan was adopted

WATCHFUL TICKET BROKERS'
The local ticket brokers are figuring on
doing good business during the coming
month on account of the annual conven-
tion of mail carriers to be held in San
FRANCISCO, as round trip rate of $72 SC
from Chicago and $50 from Missouri river
points has been announced by Chairman
Caldwell of the Western Passenger asso-
citation. A choice of routes may be had
and as the tickets are good for thirty
days quite large crowd of tourists are
expected to take advantage of the rate.
While this is not as low as the recent
Endeavor rate, yet it will be some in
ducement and that is what the travel
ing public want.
THE TOURISTS COMING
