than the rates given above. In making
these rates the Canadian Pacific will have
to content itself with the ocean route from
San Francisco to the western terminus
of its line. The Southern Pacific will not
allow it the use of its Shasta route, and
the ocean route is all that is left for it.
At the present time there is a fight on
between the steamship companies and the
Southern Pacific, which has pulled down
the rates between San Francisco and
Portland to s. net. The Canadian Pa
ciic has taken advantage of this and
has decided to carry the fight into the
chief points on the Pacific coast that are
within it's reach.
