PULLMAN TICKETS
UNION PACIFIC TAKES STEPS TO In.
PROVE CONDITIONS HERE RELAT.
ing TO the PURCHASE OF
PULLMAN CAR TICKETS

Asthe result of a complaint lodged
with the Union Pacific some time
since by the Rawlins Board of Trade
and an editorial published in The
Rawlins Republican recently relative
to the poor service this city receives
from the Pullman company. Mr.. J. L..
Herneisen of Denver, travelling pas
senger agent, was in Rawlins yester-
day Investigating the trouble.
For some time the Passenger De-
partment has been gathering infor-
nation from the files regarding the
Pullman service received in this city
and yesterday in his visit here Mr..
Herneisen had complete data show
ing what had been done and what the
future policy OF the company would
be.
The Passenger Department has de-
cided that the best in which
Rawlins can be served is by making
certain that every telegraphic request
from this city for berths is answered
promptly. ANY person desiring a
berth out of this city who makes a
request of the ticket department here
at least six hours before he desires
to leave a be assured that such re-
quest will receive immediate atten-
tion. The Passenger Department is
anxious that any person who makes
such a. request and who fails to re-
ceive a reply within a short time
notify the headquarters at Denver.
Such requests should be made "a
hours in advance if possible. but 6
hours will be sufficient if unable to
do so sooner.
In addition to initiating a prompt
and complete telegraphic service the
Passenger Department has arranged
to allot to Rawlins each day a sec
ton to Salt Lake City and also a sec,
ton to Los Angeles. We already
have a section allotted I, us for Port
land and San Francisco.
Pullman conductors have also re-
ceived orders from the head office to
wire to this city from Cheyenne and
Laramie available space on their
trains.

PUBlIC UTILITY C0NMSSl0N FOR GAS FRANCHISE IN raw
Inns TO Be Settled AT SPECIAL COUNCIL Meeting

That Rawlins will soon be supplied
with natural gas is proven by tho
fact that at the present time the
State Public Service Commission
yesterday issued three Certificates of
Necessity to parties desiring to apply
for a franchise in this city.
A few years ago the kasoming Oil
Company secured Il. certificate from
the State Public Service Commission
and later secured a franchise to fur
nish gas to Rawlins. The Kasoming
did not bring gas to the city and in
consequence the Kasoming franchise
has lapsed.
Yesterday the State Commission
granted a Certificate Of Necessity to
n. r.. Greenfield and associates of
this city, to the Rawlins Electric
Light & Fuel Co.. and to the Rocky

company is the subsidiary Of the
