LOWER RATE To TRAIL
c. r. X. Advertises Ii and Claims the
Other Roads Have Also Cut

There was a rumor in railroad circles
yesterday 20 the effect that q loce4 rate
war on tickets from Seattle 20 the Kooten-
as country was about 10 be precipiteted
By the Canadian Pacific. Great Northern
ard Northern Pacific Investigation
proved that while an actual rate war Is
not on, there Is an excellent chance Tor
one TO occur.
Some cosor was tent 20 the -uunor BY
the appearance in front OF the Canadian
Paciflc office Of a large poster, stating that
cheap rates TO the kcotensy country could
De secured within. City Ticket Agent
Tanner vas asked what the poster meant,
aud also whether there was anything IN
the report that ais road had cut the rate -.
No. we have net cut the rate. but SIM
ply met the rate made BY the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern. The only
difference is that we have announced that
q cheaper rate can be secured. while tho
other roads have not. and yet We are pos
tive they have been selling tickets from
iris city 10 Trail for sl3. at which hgure
we offer them"
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific officials denied that they had made a
cut one connected with the latter road
stating that two or three tickets had been
sod during the day at the regular rate,
$3.50. In railroad circles generally the
opinion Is that the war. II one material

not be taken UP By the Transcontinental
Association. as 1t Is purely a local affair
touching on local points.

ADJUSTMENTS.
OPERATE Comedy Next Week.

operate comedy is new TO the Seattle
theater-goers. 1t consists of a rafting
farce comedy. introducing clever special
ties and interpreted with operate music.
1t is. however, the latest Eastern fad. and
is bound TO become popular In this coum-
try OF magnificent distances the principal
cost OF an opera company il that OF trans
portation. 1t costs as much 10 take a
cheap chorus singer across the continent
as IL does the highest priced artist. With
an operate comedy company there is no
chorus, and thus IL becomes possible To
employ much higher priced principals and
give performance that is better from any
standpoint.
The Imperial operate Comedy Company,
which reopens the Third Avenue theater
on Sunday evening. is one of the strongest
companies OF Its kind that has yet been
gathered together. and the opening play
Betty" Is one of the strongest In their
repertoire. There is little question that
the house Will be packed to the doors on
the opening night.

Word comes from the East that the
Great Northern railway is about 10 ex-
pend s100Go on improving its passenger
trains. These improvements Will consist
in vestibuling the trains. according TO the
latest and most improved methods and in
adding new equipment.
General Western Passenger Agent r. c.
Stevens was asked what he knew concern
ing the proposition and stated that he I'M
derstood improvements were contemplated
but beyond that knew nothing. That these
improvements will greatly improve the
passenger service on the road there can
be no doubt. as the connection between
the cars by the vestibule system practical
ly makes the train as one car. the flush
connections precluding the possibility OF
any wind or dust entering the ears. When
these changes are effected and placed in
