FREMONT. Neb., March Ito the
Editor of The Bee: VIII you kindly an
swer the following questions and oblige
your readers?
Why is 1t the Union Pacific railroad
cannot afford to carry passengers in Ne
braska for cents a mile, when they
will take one TO San Francisco and back
to Omaha, 1854 miles, for $50; less than
IL cents a mile?
There are miles in the west that cost
more to build than ten to twenty in Ne
braska, vet the rate is cheaper. Why?
Why is II that they will not sell one a
ticket ON Nos. l, Z. . and 8, to Julcsburg,
Colo, yet they charge cents mile
from Nebraska points in Nebraska west
OF Julesburg ia Julesburg and call it an
interstate point. Why?
Why is It they charge the same freight
rates on car lots from points west to
Fremont that they charge to Omaha?
Why are they allowed TO raise freight
rates In the central states and lower them
for transcontinental shipments?
Did not we of this section help to build
the canal with the Understanding that
freight rates would be lowered?
