ENTERPRlSlNG ROADS.

The Rock Island and the Burlington,
have taken the Initiative in granting
cheap rates TO the travelling public. This
time rate OF one cent mite for the
round UP has been made by these two
roads. independently OF other ROADS. for
the G. A. r. encampment to be hei1 in
Denver. Colorado, in Septem Der 1901.
Al meeting OF the Western Passen
ger Association held last week PROPOSE.
tion was made to grant one cent round
trip rate +. the G. A. R. meeting. The
proposition was promptly negatived by
he Association. whereupon the Rock
Island and Burlington roads gave notice
that they would act independently in the
matter and put the one cent rate in
effect.
The result may be that the G. A r.
encampmen, will be held in Denver in
1901, which if the rate had no, been
made. would have been held IN some
eastern city. Furthermore this low rate
will send to Colorado points the largest
crowd of visitors Of any one season. Tn.
gratitude Of the state is due TO the Ro.k
Island and Burlington roads for tne,r
prompt and enerous action.
