There was a conference hstwsen f;euera,
Passenger Agent j. j. Byrne Of the Santa
Fe Pacific and Assistant General Passenger
and Freight Agent Luce of the Southern
Pacific yesterday at the office Of the latter
In which a number of matters relating to
passenger business were gone over in a
very lively manner. but from the little that
could be learned the talk resulted in clear
ing away number of differences that
threatened for time to obstruct the pleas
ant relations which have existed between
the two lines.
The matter of some reduced rates which
twas claimed one road had granted with
out the knowledge of the other was dis
cussed, as was the practice of extending
nominal rates to the proprietors of newspa-
pers in such towns as San Berrardino, Riv-
erside and the like. Mr.. Byrne stuck up
for the newspaper men, and held out for
the right to give mileage rates or even
passes, If it was considered best.
While the conference was of far from
quiet nature, the result was satisfactory to
both parties concerned. and possibly cleared
away some misunderstanding that have of
late occurred between the two great sys-
tens.

The Southern Pacific company has offered
the war board the use of a train to Santa
Monica on Saturday next, all of the pro-
ceeds to be given to the boards treasury.
Assistant Superintendent Prior has ar
ranged tc give the train one of the big ten
wheeled mountain engines. which will pull
twenty cars with ease, and as the passen-
ger department has printed two thousand
tickets for the occasion, and the board has
agreed to advertise the project well. there
Is reason to believe that the result VIII be
a plentiful supply of funds TO provide those
large sandwiches and big cups OF coffee,
that the soldiers have appreciated so much.
The train will leave this city at 10
O'clock in the morning, and returning will
lenve Santa Monica at in the afternoon
There will be ample room for all who may
wish to have a good time and assist in a
popular work
