that the total number of passengers to
be handled for this traffic will amount
to 100000, and while some of them do
not place the estimate as high as this,
they agree that the traffic win be very
heavy. To handle this business with
out any serious Generalization of
rates will be the effort of the Western
lines, and just now they have a strong
idea that they are going to be success
full in the undertaking.
At the present time the situation re-
Garding rates to North Pacific coast
points is more satisfactory than it has
been for many months, There are no
cut rates in effect and no cheap tickets
to be found on the market and it Is
hoped by the Western roads that, with
