ONE DAY a WEEK.

Change VIII Be Made in Sale of
HOmeseekers' Tickets.
A radical change in the manner of
handling homeseekers' excursions is
proposed by the western roads. A spe-
cial committee has submitted a report
recommending that, if the southwest
ern roads agree to it, the sale of home
seekers tickets twice a month shall be
wholly discontinued, and that in lieu
thereof the sale of homeseekers' tickets
from the eastern committee of the
Western Passenger association to au-
thorize homeseekers' destinations west
of St. Paul and the Missouri river be
to one day a week, prefer
ably Tuesday, and that tickets be sold
only through properly accredited land
agents.
