r. R. Tariff No. 1900. l.. c. c. 1908.
effective Oct. Sth. and is the only
amendment to this tariff in effect.
In this connection. beg to call at
tcntion to the fact that up to the pres
cnt time there has been no change
made in the through rates published
by the A. 7. & S. +. in their Tariff
No. o76o-B. l. c. c. sa85. which be-
came effective June 9th. 1910, and
publishes rates from the Rocky Ford
district to Atlantic seaboard and in
terror points; points in Canada; also
points in Middle and Western states
territory.
To the majority OF points of desti-
nation shown in this tariff they have
compiled the through rates, based on
either St. Louis. Chicago or some
other basing point. to which they
have now increased the rates as
shown above.
1t may or may not be the cause.
the fact of their increasing their rates
to basing points. is merely forerun-
ncr of a general advance in the rates
to all points as shown in their Tariff
o76o-B. !. c. c. S2SS, to Eastern
points. etc.
In connection with the advance in
rates from Numa. and Ordway, Colo.
the Missouri Pacific Ry. do not now.
nor never have published through
rates on cantaloupcs from their ship
ping points in Colorado to points east
Of Chicago or St. Louis. As per their
Tariff No. 2So2. I. c. c. 1897, the ef.
fcctive date not known. they publish
at the present time rates from the
above shipping points to Chicago. St.
Louis, Kansas City. etc, identical
with those as published by the A.
r. & S. +. r. r. from the Rocky
Ford district. Under date OF Sept
9th, the Missouri Pacific Ry. issued
supplement to their Tariff 3So2. ].
c. c. 1887 advancing the rates to the
same points, to same basis as advanc-
ed by the A. T. & S. +. Ry. mention
ed earlier herein. However. upon
taking this matter up with the Mis-
souri, Pacific Ry. they advised that BY
special permission of the |. c. C.,
they had postponed the effective date
Ist. However, unless some action is
taken the advanced rates will be in
effect during next season.
In this connection, VIC have already
made a demand upon the Missouri
Pacific that they arrange publication
of through rates on cantaloupcs from
| their shipping points to point east OF
the Mississippi River and Other
points, the same as published in A.
T. & S. F. Ry. Tariff No. 76o-B I
c. C. se8s. and they have advised
that il II is at all possible this will be
done.
II they do publish through rates
to the territory requested they will
probably use the rates as advance ed
effective Nov. Ist, 1910. and il they
do this We will have to pay consid.
erably higher charges next season
than has been charged at any time in
the past.
With these facts in your possession
you can take up with proper parties
who are interested. secure additional
data. and present your plea to the I.
c. C., or II we can supply you with
any further information. etc, please
call on us.
Yours truly.
