GRANTED FOR
HOMESEEKERS

Colonist rates, being on an average
of IS lower than those in effect last
year, will be granted on all Hartman
lines and connections for the months
of March and April, and every indi-
cation points to a much larger busl-
ness than was recorded during the
same period last year. The rates an
nounced in the advance notices re-
ceived here grant a fare of $33 from
Chicago. $3.50 from ST Louis, and
s25 from all Missouri river points.
The company is making rrepara-
tons to care for the largest volume of
transcontinental business ever trans
acted, as it is thought many home
seekers will come west in the spring
and remain at least until after the eX-
