ONE-WAY FARES
CAUSE TROUBLE

Salt Lake, Nov. S.-The Western Pa
citic has been very quietly cutting
some ice in the %eStbound movement
TO- the last few years. BY com
binntion OF the Commercial club traffic
bureaus One-way fares 10 the Pacific
ports and the local between Sacra-
ucntu or San Francisco and Los An"
geles the new line is enabled to cut
under the established rates for one
way continuous tickets from Utah
points to Los Angeles via the above
udmed gateways. This gives virtually
an unlimited StopOyer in one OF the
two cities.
The through rate from Salt Lake
to Los Angeles via ogden and the
Southern Pacific Is $4,000 first and
$50 second class The rate from Salt
Lake to Sacramento or San Francisco
VIA the Western Pacific is $23 5S. The
local rate Sacramento 10 Los Angeles
Via the Southern Pacific is $l335 and
$l2 90 second class The rate from
san Francisco to Los Angeles is Sl4
first and $l2 second class.
Thus the combination of local rates
via the Western Pacific to Sacramen-
Angeles, is $50 90 first and S35.5S sec
end class, as against the rates of $40
80 and $35. respectively.
Again. the combination of the locals.
repurchasing at San Francisco and
Coast line to Los Angeles. is $27.57
first and S25.5S second class, as
against the rates OF $1,000 and $35,
respectively
The Pacific coast rates run from 81
to Sl2 as per accommodations select
ed. and the rate includes berth and
T.ealS, so this combination makes
still further reduction The whole
pakes one of those unusual condl-
tionS following a change in local
rates, but until the Southern Pacific
gets the law rescinded the Western
Pacific viii advertise and work for
the new combination. which cuts the
rate, although approved by the far
seeing commission
More than twenty passengers took
advantage OF the cut rate Sunday and
Monday.
