Low COlOnist Rates.

The Southern Pacific announces that
from March LIST to April 30th, inclu-
sive, there will be on sale daily low
colonist one way tickets from all
points in Louisiana and Texas to
points in California, affording an OPP
portunity for men of limited means to
travel to the Pacific coast at a very
small cost. These periodical low rates
have proven very popular and it is
quite likely that many will take ad-
vantage of them during the period IN
dictated. The Southern Pacific oper-
ates free reclining chair cars and Pull
man tourist sleepers all the way
through, which, with the use OF cinder'
less, oil-burning locomotives, make
travel far more comfortable than ever
before. Those desiring information
