RATES FOR THE FIGHT.
Two Roads Have Declared They VIII
Make n Half Fare Rate From
the Missouri River.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-There may be quite
good sized fuss in the ranks of the West
ern Passenger Association over the rates
TO the big prize fight in Nevada. The asso-
citation proper has refused to grant any
low rates, but two roads have
declared that they will take independent
action and put in a rate which will approx
innate one fare for the round trip from the
Missouri river. Several other roads are
against the idea of making any low rates
at all, and they are bringing strong press
nre 10 bear on the roads which favor the
low rates, TO have them alter their decis-
ION. 1t is likely that the matter will have
20 come before the next regular meeting
OIL the association before IL is settled The
roads which have declared themselves in
favor of the low rates have not changed
their position in the matter, and the pres
cnt indications are that the rate will be
made.

pected that the roads would make some
recommendation to the Joint Traffic Assoc

exists al present in the east bound rates
from Chicago. No action OF this kind was
taken. however, and the committee may
decide TO take no action. inasmuch as IN
