Office of Commercial Agent,
Ell PasO, Texas, Sept. 10, 1887. J
In order to obiviate delays to sea-
board, freight shipped via the Morgan
Line steamers and Sunset Route, 1t
was intended to have the steamers sail
direct to and from Galveston, until the
quarantine restrictions at New Orleans
were removed. 1t was considered. how
ever, that this would lengthen out the
thoroug hly established fast time sched-
ule attained by the Great Sunset Route
and inasmuch as the steamers sail to
and from Algiers and do not touch at
New Orleans, arrangements have been
effected whereby the Texas quarantine
authorities will station special agent
at Algiers to supervise quick transfer
from ship to car and give certificate
permitting immediate despatch, thus
making no change of time or facilities.
1t will be observed, therefore, that
the Sunset Route management are
ever alive TO the best interests of it's
patrons, and we solicit continuance
of the bestowal of your business.
For the protection of the interests OF
our patrons, we would announce that
restric lions have been promulgated
prohi biting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond: therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
