GRAND RUSH FOR
TRANSPORTATION
Big Demand for Passes and
Reduced Rates in Local
Railroad Offices.
NEW LAW EFFECTIVE SOON
NO FREE TICKETS WILL BE u.s.
SUED AFTER NEXT TUESDAY,

An Unprecedented rush is being ex-
perienced i'm some of the local railroad
offices for free or reduced rate trans
portation, owing to the fact that the
new interstate commerce law, forbid
ing the issuing Of transportation at less
IMAM regular rates, will go into effect
Aug. % according to the Interpretation
placed on the law by the legal depart
ments of the various roads.
At the Oregon Short Line Offices it is
stated that there had been no unusual
demand for free transportation or other
favors. At the offices of the Salt Lake
Route the demand has but slightly in
creased
Turned Down by Rio Grande.
But at the offices of the Rio Grande
system, the demand has been remarK-
aoie. Men md women in every walk
or lie, who have in the past cnjoyed
special privileges i'm the matter of free
or cheap railroad trips have besieged
Inc offices with requests for recogni-
ton.
The demand has been at least 400
per cent greater during this month
than any other month i'm recent years,
according TO Colonel /. A Benton. gen.
eral agent Of the passenger depart
ment.
These requests for recognition have
been invariably turned down" Colonel
Benton said yesterday. FOR the reason
that the counsel for the Rio Grande
railroad have interpreted that the law
was effective upon its passage. I'VE
want 20 obey the law and for that
reason have been careful not To violate

Money Is Refused.
There have been many demands for
transportation at reduced rates and I
have been compelled tC refuse a lot of

this law.
The new law is so stringent that, il
will become odious TO d great many.

Under the old system which Chief Vail
found in operation when he was placed in

the alarm at the same time, the horses
and men sprang to their places and
waited there until informed whether
their services were required. There is
no running out OF horses now unless 1t Is
