WESTERN DAKOTA
GETS The BENEFIT
HoMEsEEkERs' RATES ON G. N.
AND N. p. ROADS FROM TWIN
CITIES LOWER IN PROPORTION
TO WESTERN HALF OF STATE
THAN TO EASTERN HALF.

Railroads running through the
northwestern states will continue to
sell homeseekers' tickets but Minne-
sofa and eastern North Dakota will not
be benefited by themin the future. This
| is indicated by the new tariff schedules
which have just been issued by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
For time it was rumored that after
the reduced rates went into effect in
Minnesota and North Dakota there
would be no more homeseekers' rates
offered by the railroads
Evidently the railroad officials
changed their minds regarding this
and decided to continue in the home-
seekers excursion business. In Min
nesota where a two cent rate law is
effective the new llomeseelers' rates
make no reduction in the legal rate,
while in North Dakota where two
and-a-half cent law will be in force
after July /, homeseekers' round trip
tickets to points in the western part of
the state will be little cheaper than
what the legal rate after July l. Mon
tana, however, gets the full benefit of
the old homeseekers' rate of one fare
pAuS LNO uulldTS IOf the rOunu trip.
For example the price of fomeseek-
ers' round trip tickets from st. Paul
to Moorhead is 1882 which is the
same as the regular two cent rate. To
Minot, on the Great Northern, the
homeseekers' rate is now $1915 This
is 1912 less than what the legal rate
will be after July / when the North
Dakota rate reduction law goes into
force, but is $3.50 more than $16S5 the
old homeseekers' rate of one fare plus
$500 for the round trip. The same
thing is true on the Northern Pacific
Passengers travelling to points east Of
Dickinson will be little benefited by
purchasing homeseekers rates. But
from the twin cities to all points be-
tween Beach, on the western border of
North Dakota and Billings, Montana,
the homeseekers' rate will be $500 for
the round trip, so that it is western
North Dakota and eastern and CEN
tral Montana which derive the chief
benefit from the new holneseekers rates.
The rates viii be effective on certain
days after June l.
