The fare on the Delta from Union
City to Seattle, one dollar, or one dol

hundred miles, makes it one of the
cheapest routes on the Sound; far
cheaper than any out of Shelton.
About the only routes that can COM
pare with it are the ones from Seattle
to Whatcom and from Seattle to Ia

fare is down to twenty-five cents, but
there is no opposition on Hood Canal.
