Local ticket agents can explain terms
and cost Of diverse routing.
The foregoing is a general statement.
but there are some notifications which
would be confusing to state in detail
even il space would allow. Intending
visitors are therefore advised to confer
with their local ticket agents who have
full instructions and can furnish all in
formation desired.
Side Trips: Representatives Of all
railroads running into Minneapolis have
decided to make q rate of one fare plus
so cents for side trips during the En-
campment. This will enable holders OF
C. A. r. tickets to travel about 400 miles
north and 100 miles south. To secure
these rates persons applying must hold
the G.. A. r. tickets.
In addition a Yellowstone Park spe-
cial excursion train will leave Mime
apols from the Northern Pacific Sta
ton about 1890 p. m, Aug: Is.
The above statement Is quite clear
and explicit. Substantially 1t is that all
the roads in the Chicago territory have
made a one-cent-a-mile rate except
where the one fare is $3.50 or less. Then
one fare will be charged Outside OF
Chicago territory the roads will charge
one fare to Chicago and one cent mile
between Chicago and Minneapolis.
There is much dissatisfaction at the
shortness of the time limitation upon
the tickets. Efforts are now being made
to have the tickets placed on sale at an
earlier date-as near Aug. as posi-
ble-and their validity extended into
October.
