by the Canadian Pacific railroad The
Duluth. South Shore & Atlantic. a Cana
dian Pacific line. announced that from
Duluth and upper Lake Superior points
on Its line it would make an SIS first
class and ST second-cIass rate to New
York. From the same points to Portland
ana Halifax its rates will be $40 first-class
and si9 second-class. These rates are
practically the same as those nut into
effect by the Canadian Pacific westbound

that the st. Paul lines will meet the
rates from the Twin Cities.
Slashing of rates was not confined to
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic The
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern lost no time in meeting the Cana-
dian Pacific rates 20 fhe North Pacific
points. They have also gone step
further and announced their intention ag
making reductions eastbound as well as
westbound. They have announced that
becoming effective to-day the rate from
Tacoma to st. Paul. Duluth and points
In Minnesota. North Dakota and Mani
toba will be cut In two. Heretofore the
rates have been $50 first-class and so
second-class. To-day they are s25 first
class and $50 second-class.
Presuming that the Chicago roads will
join them in the cuts. the rates they
have announced from Tacoma to Chicago
are $3.50 first-class and $3.50 second
class. They have not stopped there but
have carried the war into the heart of
the Canadian Pacific territory making a
$40 first-elass and a $50 seeond-ciass rate
