so. provided the Great Northern would
withdraw its colonist rates. Since thas
time the American lines have labored with
President Hin to accomplish this end The
seccnd-class eoionist has been good only
one way from St Paul and is S.5 to Coast
cities or points where the regular rate
exceeds this fare.
The normal second-ciass tariff will be
restored which is $40 to the Coast from
st. Paul. Tho withdrawal Of these rates
will affect the Great Northern more then
any Of its rivals. for the former road has
a large amount Of unaccupied Land which
s open TO settlement, and which was the
reason for making this low rate. The com
peting lines are so situated II 4 held, how
