movements with sharp yells. Between
eotillions they would wrap themselves IN
their blankets for brief breathing spell.

THB SANTA FE MAKES
A BIG CUT IN RATES.
Twenty-Five Per Cent Reduction All
Through Colorado and the
West


a few days since seeing newspaper
paragraphs to the effect that the San
Ia Fc would soon reduce its rates very
considerably. we wrote J. =. Hall.
General Agent. Denver. as to the
facts. Mr.. Hall replies as follows:
IL is true that our local rates have
been reduced i'll practically all OF our
territory west of and including Colo
RADIO. from 4 and 5 cents a mile to :,
cents per mile straight. commencing
July list. This will apply locally in
Colorado. New Mexico. Arizona and
California. and elsewhere. where the
rates have heretofore been higher
than three cents per mile ! am not
NJ present prepared to give You the
exact territory covered. but it certain
ly reduces the rate from Colorado and
New Mexico from four and five cents
mile TO three cents. between all
points.
The strong probabilities are tina,
the Santa Fc will find its passenger
revenue to no extent reduced by this
cut. The lower rates will doubtless
encourage increased travel to fully
make mp for the reduced rate per mile.
We give below the new rates to
several places in which our readers
are most interested:
