His proposition he says. that the govern

NEW SHIPPING RULES
BEGINNING NEXT MONTH
Different Forms of Bill of Lading
to Facilitate Handling
of Goods.

Shippers and others interested
will receive circulars soon from the
traffic department of the Hartman
lines calling their attention to the
operation of the uniform bill of lad
ing that will become effective on the
western roads December Z. The
circular sets forth the permanent
points of the new bill of lading and
shows the Importance of making ar
rangements to comply with it on the
date fixed.
The new bill of lading provides
for two forms of shipment One
covers so-called straight" con-
signments. The different forms
provide that a limited liability SER
vice or a common carriers liability
service may be had of the railroads,
as the consignor may elect.
Unless otherwise provided, prop
erty will be carried at the reduced
rate specified if shipped subject to
al the terms and conditions OF the
uniform bill of lading. If the con-
signor elects not to accept all the
terms and conditions of this form,
he should so notify the agent at the
shipping point. If he does not give
such notice, it is understood that he
desires his property carried subject
to the terms and conditions of the
uniform bill of lading in order to
secure the reduced rate.
Property carried not subject to all
the terms and conditions of the uni
form bill of lading will be at the car
rier's liability, limited only as pro-
vided by common law and by the
laws of the United States and of the
several states in so far as they apply,
but subject to the terms and condi-
tions of the uniform bill of lading
in so far as they are not inconsistent
with such common carriers liability.
The rate charged therefor will be 10
per cent higher than the rate charg
ed for property shipped subject to
all the terms of the uniform bill of
lading.
Supplies of the new bill of lading
will be furnished shippers by the
Hartman companies on request.
The circulars to be issued will ex-
plain to shippers the requirements
of the new bill of lading and how
to comply with its provisions.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
NEW IMPROVEMENTS
Modern Pullman Cars on the Line
Through Grants Pass, Because
of Big Business.

A dispatch from San Francisco
says:
The Southern Pacific company yes
terday made arrangements with the
Pullman Palace Car company for
new Pullman cars, TO cost $1,000
900. with which TO re-equip its owl
trains between this city and Los An
geles and trains 10 and l between
San Francisco and Portland. This
new equipment means so of the lat
est designed Pullmans.
This big order of E. Fl Hartman
means, in addition that the South
ern Pacific is TO have train service
between San Francisco and Los An
geles and Portland which will be a
duplicate of the Twentieth Century
Limited trains of the New York Cen
tral between Chicago and New York.
Passenger traffic on the Southern
Pacific in California and Oregon and
between this state and oregon points
has steadily increased during the
last few years, so much so in fact
as to be an agreeable surprise to the
railroad officials.
II is not known what percentage
OF the earnings of the Hartman
system on this coast Is represented
by passenger travel. 1t Is an ever
increasing percentage, however, and
Hartman has decided to cater to
this kind of traffic by getting equip
ment OF the best kind. This is one
reason why he ordered a couple OF
weeks ago from several eastern car
building firms 22O new passenger
cars and coaches of various descrip-
tions. This order amounted to
$4,000, 900, and is entirely apart
from the 100000 order to the
Pullman people.
ne latter order is to embrace the
| ollowing kinds of Pullmans:
| ars with two staterooms,
ne drawing room and ten sections.
With IL sections. one
drawing room and one smoking
room.
Twenty cars with 16 sections, per-
hitting OF large dressing rooms.
~ thapa nn no will haua a dant
al room. which passengers can repair
to for daily attention to their teeth,
instead of using the wash room as at
present. The Pullman cars now in
use by the company will have a sim
liar change made in them as quickly
as possible.
The Hartman people have also
decided to have valet, whose duty
1t will be to press and clean clothes
OF passengers on the trains between
this city and Portland. the Overland
himited via. Ogden, the Sunset Lin
tied between this city and New Or
leans via El Paso and the Golden
State Limited via El Paso between
San Francisco and Los Angeles and
Chicago.
1t is said by the railroad officials
that the Pullman company will be
able to deliver the so new cars with
in the next three months.
