The Western lines think of giving the Ca
madam Pacific road strong fight. and in
doing so contemplate a rate of IS from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast. The rate from
New York to Portland is down to SIS, and
II is proposed to make it one-fifth that
amount and completely rout the Canadian
Pacific. The first thing necessary, however.
in making a rate of s. from the Atlantic to
the Pacific is to have the consent of the
Eastern lines. The presidents of the leading
ones are to meet in New York next Thurs
day to discuss the general situation, and
will probably consider then the plan of the
Western lines to make a rate of S.. Instead
of favoring plan to practically wipe out
all earnings on transcontinental passenger
traffic the Eastern lines may choose to Sc
cure full tariff rates for their proportion by
simply agreeing not to participate longer
In the business at cut rates. They could Of
fer inducements which might make even the
Grand Trunk Railway willing to restore its
rates to tariff. 1t has apparently been dem
onstrated that the Western lines cannot ac-
complish the defeat of the Canadian Pacific,

to Northwestern resorts will begin. A pas
senger official says the people who live in
Southern cities are again coming North 10
spend their summers and this is swelling the
volume of passenger business northward
and eastward. In the early spring passenger
officials of the Central Passenger Associa-
ton lines discussed the Sunday excursion
business, where lower rates are given than
on the weekday excursions, but the con-
sentative element found that the so-called
weak lines were determined to continue
them, and. of course fell in line. AS a con-
sequence, more Sunday excursions were
run in May and thus far this month than
in any corresponding period in former years.
and each Sunday seems to increase the
numbers. The roads derive very satisfac-
tory reVanua from carving Messengers be-
tween stations at one fare the round trip.
This practice was inaugurated several years
ago by c. f. Daily, general passenger agent
of the Lake Erie & Western, and so much
of a success has it been that nearly every
road in this States and in Illinois and Ohio
is making such rates the year round on Sun
days, some roads making the ticket good
going Saturday afternoon and returning
Monday forenoon
