the cause for this heavy traffic Is
the closing Of the rates to California
Three sections of Nos. / and were

Of the Limited, No. 8. The three Sec

yesterday afternoon within radius
of ten minutes apart. The different

This unusual rush closes the sea-

All trains were run in one section to-

The officials here say that this
years traffic during the season when
rates are low is the heaviest that has
been seen for several years. The Pan
anna Pacific exposition is Indirectly
responsible for this, as large number
Of the people who are travelling to
California plan to locate there until

competitlon that the Santa re Railway
company fights frim Chicago, the ex-
ira heavy traffic that has passed
through this city for the past two
weeks shows that that railroad Is the
most popular line to the coast.
