The new compartment rate Of IS on
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad went into effect Wednesday,

the travelling public. All the compart-
lnents, which have heretofore been
"split'' in the selling, are now being
charged for at the same rate for a
single compartment If the rate on
the Milwaukee road proves success,
1t is probable that the other roads hav-
ing terminals in the Twin Cities will
make similar change, so that in the
future, travellers. from the Northwest
must either pay the double rate for
sleeping compartments. whether oc-
